Configure the RELAY7 Radio

Settings for the RELAY7 radio are saved on the radio module. They are not lost when a RESET or FRESET command is sent to the SMART7.

When issuing radio commands, the receiver responds to the command immediately after checking that all parameters of the command contain acceptable values. However, due to radio operations it can take some time to complete the change on the radio. Use the SATELSTATUS log to monitor the status of the radio operations.

The SMART7 must detect the radio before the radio can be configured or queried. See Detect the RELAY7 Radio for more information.

During radio programming, the INTERFACEMODE and SERIALCONFIG parameters of the port will be temporarily changed. Care must be taken not to modify these parameters while the SATELSTATUS log displays DETECTING or BUSY. Note that the GENERATERTKCORRECTIONS command will change the INTERFACEMODE settings.

Determine the Type of Radio

The commands required to query or modify the radio settings depends on the type of radio. The type of radio is available in the VERSION log.

  1. Request the VERSION log.

    LOG VERSION

  2. Check the radio component of the VERSION log.

    If the radio component is M3-R4, the RELAY7 has a 400 MHz radio.

    <VERSION COM1 0 0.0 UNKNOWN 0 11.046 02440009 3681 32768

    <        // Other components

    <        RADIO "M3-R4" "1719324140" "SPL018" "V07.22.2.3.0.2" "" "" ""

    If the radio component is M3-R9, the RELAY7 has a 900 MHz radio.

    <VERSION COM1 0 0.0 UNKNOWN 0 11.046 02440009 3681 32768

Query the Radio Settings – 400 MHz

To check the current radio settings on a 400 MHz radio:

LOG SATEL4INFO

Refer to the SATEL4INFO log for information about this log.

Query the Radio Settings – 900 MHz

To check the current radio settings on a 900 MHz radio:

LOG SATEL9INFO

Refer to the SATEL9INFO log for information about this log.

Configure the Radio Settings – 400 MHz

To configure the radio settings on a 400 MHz radio, use the SATEL4CONFIG command.

Configure the Radio Settings – 900 MHz

The command used to configure the 900 MHz radio depends on the channel identifier used on the radio network.

  • To configure the Satel 900 MHz radio network settings using a simplified Leica channel identifier, use the SATEL9CONFIGL command.

  • To configure the Satel 900 MHz radio network settings using a simplified Novariant channel identifier, use the SATEL9CONFIGN command.

  • For all other cases, use the SATEL9CONFIG command.

Check the Radio Status

To check the status of the radio, use the SATELSTATUS log.
