1. INTRODUCTION

1.1 Aim of Document

The objective of the present document is detail the features, application and operation of the LC-Ind

radio modem.

After introductions about the products and the test and configuration software (MTC Work bench), the

operation of the modems will be described in two distinct parts:

•The ‘Basic operation’ chapter describes the MTC workbench operation

•The ‘Advanced operation’ is more dedicated to the users who want to program and configure the

modem directly. It states all the available commands and registers and gives some operation examples.

A second set of appendix gives additional information about operation, standard and product’s history.

1.2 LC-Ind Modem overview

The LC RF-Modem is a module which is composed of :

•A control / command part including programmable EEPROM(permanent memory)

•A radio part (transmission / reception).

The LC-Ind radio modem is a FSK half-duplex FM radio transceiver (data transmission and reception). The

LC-Ind operates in the 433 MHz frequency band, in compliance with the ETSI 300-220 European regulation.

Operating a 10 mW radiated power, LC-Ind modems can be used without any license.

The LC-Ind modem is based on synthesised frequency (maximum of 10 channels with a 175 KHz spacing)

in order to operate in any condition and in most environments.

Numerous parameters such as transmission rates (serial and radio links), radio channel, data format, etc,

can be programmed via the serial link, using Hayes (or ‘AT’) commands. Those programmed parameters, i.e. the

modem’s configuration, are stored within EEPROM’s registers so that LC-Ind modems are automatically

configured with the lastly saved configuration (channel, data rates, etc) when switched on.

By default, the standard configuration is: 9600 bauds, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity, channel ‘0’,

transparent mode.

1.3 MTC Software Installation

1. Put Adcon database CD into the PC. The CD is autolaunched and displays a browser on the Adcon database

presentation page.

2. Go to the Adcon database page by clicking either on the “Adcon RF Database” link or on its button.

3. Install the MTC Workbench software by clicking on the “MTC Workbench Installation” link. The software is

automatically installed in “C:\Program File\Adcon\MTC\” (this directory can be changed).

3. BASIC OPERATION: USING MTC

3.1 The desktop

The Modem Test & Configuration (MTC) Workbench is an Adcon software framework to

test and configure all modems supplied by Adcon RF Technology.

Several and diversified modems, connected to the PC/workstation via various hardware

interfaces (RS232, RS422, ...), can be tested and configured at the same time. The framework

provides a desktop to display, test and configure multiple modems, including LC-Ind radio modem,

with a standard set of functions, common for each modem.

•Once launched, the MTC software displays the following desktop and message:

The auto-configuration has to be launched for the software to detect the connected radio

module, i.e. ‘Yes’ has to be pressed.

•Once the auto-configuration is done (a few minutes, depending on the number of serial

ports), the following desktop is displayed:

•A visual check that the software detected the radio modem during auto-configuration can be

done by clicking on the COM1 node. The radio modem should appear as a child node in the

Tree window:

The radio modem is now ready to be tested and configured with the different options of the

MTC software. Those options are described below.

3.1.1 The menu bar

The menu bar is fully configurable and is defined in the application configuration file:

Each menu is composed of several submenus corresponding to specific functions or actions.

Every menus and submenus are described in the following paragraphs. Each function and option will be

further described in the next chapters.





The ‘File’ Menu

The ‘File’ menu is composed of ‘Exit’ an submenu which quits the software program.





The ‘Settings’ Menu

The ‘Settings’ menu is composed of the following submenus:

•Language: Allows the user to change the software’s operation language (English, French and

German are available for the moment). The default language is English.

•User level: Allows the user to switch from a basic operation desktop to an advanced operation

desktop and vice-versa. The current description concerns the basic user level configuration. For

the advanced user level configuration description, refer to the MTC Workbench User Manual.





The ‘Modem’ Menu

The ‘Modem’ menu is composed of the following submenu:

•Channel scanning: Displays a window which presents either the radio channel’s occupation rate

or the signal’s level received by the radio module.

•Autoconfiguration: Allows the user to launch an autoconfiguration on one or on all ports from

the desktop (e.g. for connection loss or modem replacement).





The ‘Peer-to-peer’ Menu

The ‘Peer-to-peer’ menu is for basic operation configuration and is composed of the following

submenus:

•Configuration: Displays a window allowing quick configuration of two radio modules for peer-to-

peer dialog. The parameters concerned are the operating mode and the radio channel.

•Dialog: Displays an advanced terminal dialog window between two given radio modules, the

ports of which are chosen by the user.
