7.2 Performing Network-Wide Radio Diagnostics
You can remotely poll radios in a network by connecting a laptop or PC
running MDS InSite diagnostics software to any radio in the network.
Figure 36
shows an example of a setup for performing network-wide
remote diagnostics.
If a PC is connected to any radio in the network, you can perform active
messaging (polling which briefly interrupts payload data transmission).
To perform diagnostics without interrupting payload data transmission,
connect the PC to a radio defined as the "root" radio. You can make a
radio the root radio by using the
locally, at the radio.
For more information, see the InSite Radio System Management Soft-
ware User's Guide. You can find a complete explanation of remote
diagnostics in the GE MDS Network-wide Diagnostics Handbook (P/N
05-3467A01). Refer to the handbook for more information about the
basic diagnostic procedures outlined below.
1. Program one radio in the network as the root radio by entering the
command at the radio.
DTYPE ROOT
2. At the root radio, use the
to enable network-wide diagnostics and set the baud rate at the
port.

3. Program all other radios in the network as nodes by entering the
command at each radio.
