Enabling Daisy Chain
To completely understand why one needs to activate Daisy Chain,
some background information is needed. The radio modem embedded
into your receiver and a device (PC, handheld, etc.) through which
you are going to configure the modem are not directly connected but
are both connected to your receiver via different serial ports. In this
way, you are able to establish a communication link between the
modem and a control device through the receiver using Daisy Chain
mode. After you set up Daisy Chain between the two receiver’s ports
connected with the modem and the control device, respectively, your
control device will be able to manage the modem.
Below is the list of commands need to be issued to access your radio
modem.
#OFF#
%%set,cur/term/echo,/dev/null
%%set,cur/term/imode,cmd
%%dm,dev/ser/c
%%set,dev/ser/c/rate,57600
%%set,dev/ser/c/echo,/dev/null
%%set,dev/ser/c/imode,echo
%%set,dev/ser/c/echo,/cur/term
%%set,cur/term/eoff,"#OFF#"
%%set,cur/term/imode,echo
%%set,cur/term/echo,/dev/ser/c
To make it easier and faster for you to enter the above commands,
save them into one ASCII file. It can be done by using any text editor,
for example, Notepad.
In this list the baud rate of the modem’s serial
port is 57600. If your modem uses the baud rate
other than 57600, replace 57600 with the value
appropriate to your modem’s port. Refer to the
modem/fh/brport parameter on page 12 for
information about the baud rates supported by
the FH modem

Before activating Daisy Chain please refer to
the next topic to learn how to bring the ports
back to command mode
Currently there is a limitation to the daisy
chaining support: It is strongly recommended
that you do not use PC-CDU’s terminal (i.e.,
the Manual Mode window) for sending the
commands, documented above, to the
receiver.You should use a communication
program like HyperTerminal which comes with
Microsoft Windows.
