27.2 CABLE MANAGEMENT
USB Cables are managed in the USB Cables tab in the Maestro Main Menu:
Using the USB Cables window, cables can be selected, activated and deactivated, modified, logged
and removed. The information in the window includes:
• Name – The name given to the USB Cable. Newly installed cables get a default name. The
name can be changed by tapping the name field and typing a new name.
• Serial Number – The serial number of the USB Cable, read from the FTDI chip embedded in
the cable.
• Type – The type of the USB Cable. This field is limited to one of the following:
o CAT
o BIT
o BCD
o LDPA
o DSTAR
• Enabled – Enables or disables the USB Cable.
Cable parameters can be edited by tapping on the cable, which opens a window in which values can
be changed. Tapping on the value opens a menu of available values or opens a keyboard. Tapping
Logging opens an additional window that enables logging for a cable and displays the log. Logging
allows the user to see and monitor all traffic going across the cable. For BIT and BCD cables the log
indicates the bits written out to a cable as a hexadecimal number. Tapping Remove removes the
cable from SmartSDR management. Note that cables can be removed only when they are unplugged.
