3.4.1 Introduction

The Kit/Transceiver Properties view allows you to view kit/transceiver configuration options to configure the PER Test Configuration parameters, Transceiver Configuration Options and to set the selected state.

Configuration options appears in the kit/transceiver properties view, only when the kit is connected as single mode or paired mode.

Kit Configuration Options

To view kit configuration options; in the Kit/Transceiver Properties view, connect the port.

And, perform one of the operations - Initiate Peer Search (or) Continue as Single Node. Once the mode is set, the kit/transceiver configuration options appear in the left hand side view.

Note:
  1. The configuration options are available for both the Host node and Remote node. Selecting the Host node shows the configuration parameters for Host node. Selecting the Remote node shows the configuration parameters of the Remote node.
  2. The list of configuration parameters shown varies based on the transceiver in the kit.

For example; the following kit configuration options might be available:
