1 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The Advantra Model AR200 is a Telemetry module. This product is to be compatible with the socalled 2.6 requirements of the ReFLEX specifications.
The module has two connections. One connection is the antenna port, the other connection is the
data port / power supply. The host device will talk to the module over this data port and will instruct to
execute some commands.
To use the device on a ReFLEX network, the device must be configured and this also happens
over this data port. To be able to configure the device, a specific windows application exists. More
explanations on that windows application ‘Configurator’ can be found in the sections below.

2 DEVICE CONFIGURATOR
When starting up the software ‘Configurator’ a screen will pop up with a menu bar and two tab
sheets. The menu bar has 6 possibilities: File, Device, Test, Debug, Serial Port and Help. The twotab sheets are Title Page and Customer inspection. In this section all possibilities with this menu’s
and tab sheets will be explained. Before operation is possible, check item 2.4 Menu item ‘Device’.
2.1 Tab sheet ‘Title Page’
Depending on who is using the device, a specific configurator exists. There are configurators for
development, network providers, service, repair and FCC. The functionality of the device doesn’t
change but the number of options available is different. (Example, a customer is not allowed to
change the ReFLEX address, no one out of development is allowed to change passwords, …). On
the tab sheet ‘Title Page’ info on the type of configurator is given.

will try to find the network.
2.2.4 Checksum0 & Checksum1
Item
Function
Checksum 0
This is a four digit hexadecimal number indicating the Fletcher
checksum of the ReFLEX Addresses index 1 to index 31
inclusive, and their associated options.
The checksum is formed from the data for each Address as
shown in the Add Address command, excluding the index value.
The complete set of data for each address is added to the
checksum before moving to the next index. The checksum
excludes the Personal Address.
This command is “Retrieve” only.
Checksum 1
This is a four digit hexadecimal number indicating the Fletcher
checksum of the ReFLEX Configuration Data.
The checksum excludes the following items of ReFLEX
Configuration Data:
Personal Address and associated options (address index 0);

indexes 1 to 31);
Reference Oscillator DAC structure values;
Transmit Power Amp Ramp values;
VCO Modulation values;
VCO Offset;
Reference Oscillator Modulation values;
Reference Offset;

2.2.5 Electronic Serial number
The Electronic Serial Number is a unique identifier for the Device and contains Product Identification
data required for products and their primary packs, OEM’s, and any other merchandise to enable
identification and trace ability.
This data is “Retrieve” only which means it cannot be reprogrammed.
SSSSS
A five character ASCII string used to create an unique Sequential
Serial Number
00000 – ZZZZZ = range of values
Except for the letters I, L, O, S, Z, which are not allowed to avoid
confusion with the number 0,1,2 and 5.
2.2.6 Personal Address
This is a Two-Way address, which can be used to send and receive messages.
2.2.7 Customer reference
This is a unique customer identifier.
It is a two-character ASCII string identifying the customer. Any two characters in the range A to Z can
be used. The following are reserved:

2.3 Menu item ‘File’
Data of a device can be stored under this menu. Data can also be picked up through ‘open’ and
selecting the wanted file with extension ‘. adv’.
2.4 Menu item ‘Device’
Starting the software with no device connected, the word ‘Device’ in the menu bar will have another
colour that the other items in the menu bar. Once the device is well connected through a hardware
interface to the correct COM port, the word ‘Device’ will become the same colour as the other items
in the menu bar.
2.5 Menu item ‘Test’

2.5.1.1 Receiver Continuously On
Select [Receiver Continuously On] followed by [Set Status]. This will permanently enable control
signal IFE, which in turn enables the transceiver power supplies VRF. It is assumed that receiver
tests on the device will be done with the receiver in this test mode.
Note: Test Commands in [Device Status] folder are automatically reset when the power supply is
removed or the product is warm started in the Test Command folder.
2.5.1.2 Decoding Software On
Select [Decoding Software On] followed by [Set Status]. This action turns on the decoding software.
Since this items is necessary on when receiver tests are done, this item is automatically on when
‘receiver continuously on’ is chosen.
2.5.1.3 Microprocessor On
Select [Microprocessor On] followed by [Set Status]. Microprocessor on is used in cases where
current savings are required. Cause the micro controller goes sleeping between certain actions. This
function is the basic of all actions so this should always be turned on.
2.5.1.4 Microprocessor continuously on
Select [Microprocessor continuously On] followed by [Set Status]. The micro controller is constantly
on.
2.5.1.5 Transmitter continuously on
Select [Transmitter continuously On] followed by [Set Status]. The transmitter is turned on but the
power amplifier is still disabled. This will enable the transmitter power supply functions, which supply
the TX Buffer.
2.5.1.6 Power Amplifier continuously on
Select [Power Amplifier continuously On] followed by [Set Status]. This functions turns on the power
amplifier. Together with this action the transmitter is also turned on.
2.5.1.7 TX Modulation
When the transmitter and/or power amplifier is on, a certain type of modulation can be chosen. By
example random modulation 800 bps, random modulation 6400 bps, … Select [Modulation Symbol
