Radio Manager

Raveon’s RadioManager is a very versatile Windows XP/Vista/7/8 application used to configure Raveon’s data radio products, test communications, log data, and assist with developing OEM applications. It is compatible with all Raveon radio models, and provides configuration management, as well as programming assistance, diagnostic information, and a helpful “band scope” feature.

  • Built-in Terminal software for COM and Telnet communications
  • Simplified editing of a radio’s configuration
  • Configurations may be stored to a file or retrieved from a file

  • Communication Logger for storing data to log files

RadioManager is used to configure all of Raveon’s data radio products. The graphical interface makes configuring the radio very easy. Parameters are grouped together, and only parameters which were edited by the user are uploaded to the radio. This reduces the risk of unintentional changes to a parameter.

RadioManager’s “Band Scope” feature is a handy tool for site analysis. It displays activity on nearby channels, which can be helpful to the field technician or the site planner. Adjacent and on-channel interference can also be identified.
