Connecting Multiple
Masters at One Site
If you have more than one master station located at a single site, it is pos-
sible to connect all of them to one EIA/RS-232 computer connection for
local diagnostics and control. Support for this “multidrop” service is
built into the radio through the use of the Multiple Address (MADDR)
command. This method is not intended for use in systems where the
radios are not physically connected, such as in a microwave backbone
arrangement.
MDS x790 master stations equipped with version 1.7 or higher firmware
contain a built-in COS (Code Operated Switch). You only need to pro-
gram this switch with a proper Multiple Address (MADDR) to be used
with InSite (version 6.3 software or higher). For a detailed description
of the networking arrangement, refer to the InSite™ NMS software
manual (MDS P/N 05-3696A01). This manual is available for download
from the GE MDS Web site (www.GEmds.com).
Operating Tips • After establishing a connection to the radio, enter the command
DUMP. The response is a complete listing of the current radio config-
uration. This will help you make a quick review of the current set-
tings and help you identify the ones you want to change.
• You can also save this portion of your terminal session for future
reference after you have configured the radio to suit your needs.
