RF Modem Configuration
Out-of-box, the XStream-PKG-E Ethernet RF Modem comes configured to provide an immediate
wireless link between devices in a data system. The default configuration supports a wide range
of RF communications. The RF modem is configurable to support specific system requirements
using standard AT Commands.
For more advanced configuration information, refer to:
•
“XStream Advanced Programming & Configuration” manual (for AT Command Mode
Options, Diagnostics, Networking, Serial Interfacing and Sleep Modes)
•
“XPort User Manual (for advanced configurations specific to the Ethernet port)
Both manuals are located in the “documentation” folder of the MaxStream CD.
AT Command Mode
In order to set or modify RF Modem parameters, the RF Modem must first enter into “AT
Command Mode”, a state in which incoming characters are interpreted as AT commands instead
of data to be transmitted.
Enter AT Command Mode
To enter AT Command Mode, use any of the following methods:
1.
Send the 3-character command sequence “+++” with one second of silence before and
after the command characters. [See the “Default AT Command Mode Sequence” below.]
The “Terminal” tab (or other serial communications software) of the X-CTU Software can be
used to enter the sequence.
2.
Press-in the Config Switch [Figure 2c] while turning off and then on again the Power Switch
[Figure 1a].
Default AT Command Mode Sequence (for entering into AT Command Mode):
1.
No characters sent for one second.
[Time can be modified using BT (Guard Time Before) Command]
2.
Input three (3) plus characters (“+++”) within one second.
[Character can be modified using CC (Command Sequence Character) Command.]
3.
No characters sent for one second.
[Time can be modified using the AT (Guard Time After) Command.]
NOTE: Binary Commands do not work with the Ethernet RF Modem because
cannot be controlled
over Ethernet. Refer to the “Advanced Programming & Configuration” manual for more information.

AT Commands
AT Commands can be used to adjust several modem characteristics:
•
AT Command Mode Options
•
Diagnostics
•
Networking
•
Serial Interfacing
•
Sleep (Low Power)
A terminal program has been built into the X-CTU software and is located under the “Terminal”
tab. Use the following syntax when using terminal software to issue AT Commands.
Figure 12. Syntax for sending XStream OEM RF Module AT Commands:
NOTE: To read a parameter value stored in a register, leave the parameter field blank.
The preceding example would change the “Destination Address” of the RF Modem to “1F”. To
store the new value to the modem’s non-volatile (long term) memory, use the WR (Write)
Command [ATWR<CR>].
Parameters can be read and modified by sending AT Commands to the RF Modem via
MaxStream’s X-CTU Software or other serial communications software such as “HyperTerminal”.
XStream AT Commands are explained in further detail in MaxStream’s “XStream Advanced
Programming & Configuration” manual.
System Response
Once a command is sent to the RF Modem, the modem will parse and execute the command.
Upon successful execution of the command, the RF Modem will return an “OK” message. If the
execution of a command results in an error, the remainder of the command will not be executed
and the RF Modem will return an “ERROR” message.
Exit AT Command Mode
To exit AT Command Mode:
If no valid AT Commands are received within the time specified by CT (AT Command Mode
Timeout) Command, the RF Modem automatically returns to Idle Mode.
[or]
Send ATCN (Exit AT Command Mode) Command.

programs such as “Telnet” can also be used to establish communications.
Local Network Method
1.
Install both the X-CTU Software and the Ethernet Com Port Redirector [See “Com Port
Communications” [page 7] section for more information].
2.
Connect a PC and the Ethernet RF Modem to active Ethernet connections of the same
local network [as shown in the figure below].
3.
Follow the steps outlined in the “Ethernet RF Modem Discovery” section to be able to
identify the com port that will be used to configure the Modem [page 8].
4.
Launch the X-CTU Software on the PC and select the “PC Settings” tab.
5.
Make sure values shown in the fields of the ‘Com Port Setup’ section match those of the
Ethernet RF Modem.
6.
Highlight the Com Port from the ‘Select Com Port’ list that is mapped to the Ethernet RF
Modem.
7.
Select the “Terminal” tab. (“Modem Configuration” tab could also be used.)
8.
Type three copies of the Command Sequence Character (“+++” by default) to enter into
AT Command Mode.
Æ System Response: “OK” (Modem enters into AT Command Mode)
9.
Type the AT Command “ATHP 5”
Æ System Response: “OK” (current hopping channel is changed to ‘5’)
NOTE: If the RF Modem is to communicate with any other RF Modems, the other RF
Modems must also be configured to use the same hopping channel (in this case, 5).
10. Type the AT Command “ATCN”
Æ System Response: “OK” (Modem exits from AT Command Mode)
NOTE: If WR (Write) Command was not used after issuing HP Command, the RF Modem
will revert to its previously stored HP value the next time the RF Modem is powered on.
Figure 13. Setup for Local Network Configuration Method
Direct PC Method
The Direct PC method requires use of a crossover CAT5 cable (not the more common
straight-through CAT5 cable). To connect an Ethernet RF Modem directly to a PC, follow
these steps:
1.
Connect a crossover CAT5 cable between the Ethernet RF Modem and the PC.
2.
Set up the com port using the instructions outlined in the “Software” and “Setup Com
Port” sections of this manual.
3.
Use the “Terminal” or “Modem Configuration” tabs of the X-CTU Software to send AT
Commands to the RF Modem. (Other terminal software programs can also be used as
described in the “Testing Communications” section on page 10.)

FCC-approved antennas not inventoried by MaxStream – Contact MaxStream (801-765-9885) for
information.
** Can be approved for portable applications if integrator gains approval through SAR testing
MaxStream radio modems are pre-FCC approved for use in fixed base station and mobile applications. As long as the
antenna is mounted at least 20 cm (8 in) from nearby persons, the application is considered a mobile application. If the
antenna will be mounted closer than 20 cm to nearby persons, then the application is considered “portable” and requires an
additional test performed on the final product. This test is called the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing and measures
the emissions from the radio modem and how they affect the person.
RF Exposure
WARNING: This equipment is approved only for mobile and base station transmitting devices, separation distances of (i)
20 centimeters or more for antennas with gains < 6 dBi or (ii) 2 meters or more for antennas with gains ≥ 6
dBi should be maintained between the antenna of this device and nearby persons during operation. To ensure
compliance, operation at distances closer than this is not recommended.
The preceding statement must be included as a CAUTION statement in manuals for OEM products to alert users on
FCC RF Exposure compliance.
In order to fulfill the FCC Certification requirements, the OEM must comply with FCC regulations:
1.
The system integrator must ensure that the text on the sample label is placed on the outside of the final product
[Figure 14].

Port will communicate with the server and determine what IP addresses are available. The Ethernet RF Modem
will then assign itself the first available IP address it finds.
IP (Logical) Address: A logical address used in TCP/IP networking. This unique 32-bit number is divided into
four groups of octets (8-bit bytes) that are separated by periods.
Hardware (Physical or MAC) Address: Number that uniquely identifies a network node. The hardware
address is hard-coded to the device at the factory by the manufacturer. The hardware address is printed on the
Ethernet port inside the XStream-PKG-R RF Modem.
Subnet: A portion of a network that shares a network address with other portions of a network and is
distinguished by a subnet number. Subnets are formed when an IP network is broken down into smaller
networks using a subnet mask.
Subnet Mask: A ʺfilterʺ that tells the server whether a node is on the local network or a remote network. If the
server IP address and the remote IP address appear the same after the filter, the remote host is assumed to be
on the same local network. Otherwise, the gateway is used. When combined with an IP address, the subnet
mask informs the rest of the network as to what kind of subnet the device is on.
