Sutron Corporation Satlink Operations & Maintenance Manual, Rev 8.04.2 11/3/2016 pg. 153
The default baud rate for Satlink is 9600, N, 8, 1. Satlink can be set to operate at other baud
rates; however, Sutron does not recommend using other baud rates as the system will set the
baud rate back to 9600 when the unit is set to factory defaults.
Please have the Logger prefix all commands issued to Satlink with an exclamation point. This
makes Satlink terminate each command with an <ETX> which makes it easier for the Logger.
16.2. Configuring Satlink
Satlink supports its command line interface on the RS232 port. Via the command line interface
you can issue commands to configure Satlink. Once configured, Satlink will retain the
configuration and use it each time it is powered on so it is not necessary to repeat the
configuration commands
Some user will connect a PC or other terminal type device to Satlink to configure it and then
connect their device to transmit data. Others will use their logger device to send configure
Satlink at startup and then leave it connected to transmit data. You can also configure Satlink
using LinkComm via USB while it is connected via RS232 to the logger.
The key fields to configure in Satlink are:
