10. Control System
10.1 General
To get the most from your radio system you must customise the programming for your
operations and area. Use the Transmitter Control Application to navigate to the system
setting you want to customise.
CAUTION: Before you start programming your radio make sure the batteries are fresh and
fully charged. If the radio loses power while you program it, its memory might be corrupted
which will require you to reset defaults. All information programmed in the radio might be
lost. Alternately, you could use an AC adapter to power your radio.
The control system provides equipment that controls the communication system, to keep it
functioning in proper and stable order. It enables you to change many of the settings of the
radio like frequency or bandwidth.
The control system may be in the form of a Control Application that runs on your PC
connected to the device using Serial communications. The SOLH264TX uses this system.
Alternatively, it may be in the form of Control Pages that are viewed on your PC browser
when connected to the device using IP communications.
10.2 Connecting your PC to your Radio
The SOLH264TX has a Control Application which enables you to perform many
configuration tasks quickly and easily. This section tells you how to connect your PC to the
transmitter and then configure the unit using this Control Application.
10.2.1 Installing the Control Application
Install Control Application system onto your Personal Computer (PC). It comes as a simple
exe file which you just place on your desktop or other convenient location on your PC.
It does not need to write anything to your registry.
Remember, the SOLH264TX is very simple to operate using its control panel after it has been
fully configured using the Control Application.
Note: You can download the latest version of the Control Application from the Cobham
Website.
10.2.2 Serial Connection between Radio and PC
You’ll need a fully powered SOLH264TX, a CA0343 Control Cable and a personal
computer running the Control Application.
1. Connect the Lemo OB 6-way plug (pins) on the CA0343 Control Cable to the Lemo
OB 6-way jack (sockets) on the SOLH264TX.
2. Connect the USB 4-way plug (pins) on the CA0343 marked CTRL to your PC.
