modified to include controls that are appropriate for the connected radio. When the Properties screen is
displayed, it indicates the values currently stored in the radio.
The Electronic Service Tool uses the Properties screen to configure the Base Station Radio. The Base
Station Radio has two serial ports. One is used to transmit and receive real time GPS corrections and
the other one is used to configure and load firmware updates to the Base Station Radio.
• Network Settings Button - Used to view/change the Network Setting.
• Reset Button - Used to reset the radio parameters back to the default values (factory settings).
• Serial Port Baud Rate List Box - Used to select a bit rate (communication speed). For

• Serial Port Parity Setting List Box - Used to select a parity option. For AutoGuidance
applications always set the serial port parity setting to None.
• Mode Select Radio Buttons - Allow selection of a new mode for the radio.
• Set Button - Used to set/apply changes to the serial port baud rate, the serial port parity
setting, or the mode of the radio.
• Update Button - Used to install firmware into the radio. CommSet prompts for the location of
