NOTE: The position of particular item in the list in first four sub-tabs and the last Security sub-tab is not
important, reordering is there only to allow a more understandable/logical display. The Antenna Path
sub-tab listing is generated automatically – reordering (or Add/Remove/Replace) is not supported. In the
RF Boxes, Virtual Rotator, Antenna Groups and Bands sub-tabs, the order of the items determines the
order in which these items will appear in the user interface of SMD.
The following three buttons are not directly related to sub-tabs and control the network configuration "globally":
Clear
•
Remove whole configuration from the Router. Use it to enter brand new configuration.
Load From File
•
Load previously saved configuration to the Router. All previous configuration will be discarded.
Save To File
•
Save current configuration to file. The default extension for SMD network configuration is ".uad".
NOTE: Besides explicitly saving through Save To File, network configuration is saved automatically when the
Router program is closed unless no configuration was loaded/created. The automatically saved
configuration is named "Last cfg [serial number] Station Master DeLuxe.uad".
NOTE: Clear, Load From File and Save To File buttons are global buttons available on all Configuration
Management sub-tabs. Meaning of the buttons is same on each tab.
Changing properties of list items
In list items, there may be several properties (e.g. name or value) which can be changed by user. Properties,
which are displayed in gray, cannot be changed (i.e. they are either implicit, displayed only for information; or
they are controlled elsewhere). After highlighting the required item, after a short pause (so that it is not seen as
a double-click), single-click on the required property to change it. If the property is a check-box, use a double-
click on the box to toggle it.
In several cases, a resource (e.g. a Control Box) can be assigned to certain item, usually through a pull-down
selection. Such resources cannot be shared, so if the same resource is chosen for multiple items, only the last
item has this resource assigned, and the resource for previously assigned items are automatically changed to
"unassigned".
Control boxes is the first Configuration Management sub-tab. Control box is a global name for every uLINK
network element, it can be SMD or any uLINK module. This tab serves for adding/removing and configuring all
Control boxes and storing configuration to one particular SMD connected to the Router.
Adding and configuring Control Boxes
Press Add button on bottom of tab to add a new control box. From the selection window, chose the type of
Control Box to be added.
Highlight the line with Control box, then after a short pause single-click on the number in Address column to
select address for this Control box. If the Control Box is a uLINK module, the selected address must match the
address set on the module itself.
If the Control box is a uLINK module, the Invert IN column contains a tick-box determining the active polarity of
the tamper input on the module. Double-click the tick-box, if the input is normally closed to GND; leave it open if
it closes to GND when active.
