The DFP software allows the user to edit and program user programmable settings, interactively tune modem, and monitor diagnostic data from the BSR100D (See Figure : DFP Software Startup Screen). Figure : DFP Software Startup Screen This manual assumes the DFP software has been installed on the user’ s PC with at least one operational serial COM Port available.
BSR100D™ Wireless Radio Modem Page 17 User Manual 5.2.1 Preparing Programming To commence programming of the BSR100D modem module parameters, connect the MODEM SET-UP cable (refer to Section 3.1 Data Port Interface) to the J4 connector on the front panel of the BSR100D. The corresponding 9-pin connection on the SET-UP cable is connected to the PC serial COM port. 5.2.2 COM Port Settings BSR100D programming is done through the PC’ s primary COM port. Primary and secondary COM ports are configured with the DFP software. The programming cable is connected from the set-up port on the BSR100D to the PC’ s COM port configured as the primary port. The Port Setting Screen of the FPS is accessed via the Utilities pull-down menu (see Figure : DFP Software Port Setting Screens). The Port Setting Screens are used to configure the PC’s serial COM ports. COM port assignments are displayed in the bottom status bar of the DFP software screen. Figure : DFP Software Port Setting Screens 5.2.3 COM Port Parameters COM Port Selects COM Port number (COM 1-4) for primary and secondary COM ports (see Figure : DFP Software Port Setting Screens) Baud Rate Selects the communication speed for primary and secondary COM ports

BSR100D™ Wireless Radio Modem Page 19 User Manual Parity Selects transmission or reception of any parity bits for the primary and secondary COM ports Stop Bits Selects number of stop bits (1 or 2) transmitted or received for the primary and secondary COM ports DTR Enable Used to assert DTR line of the RS232 port when the port is open for the primary and secondary COM ports Swap COM Ports Selecting the Swap COM Ports button moves the secondary COM port setting to the primary COM port (and moves the primary COM port to the secondary settings). Since the BSR100D programming is done through the primary COM port, this is useful when two units are connected to the primary and secondary COM ports. A swap COM port allows the second unit to be programmed without switching programming cables. 5.2.4 Primary and Secondary Port Settings Communications Modes The mode drop down menu configures the communication mode for the primary and secondary PC Port (See Table : Communication Modes).
