CL4490-PRO Serial Interface 

DIP Switches 

The CL4490-PRO DIP switches are located next to the Status LEDs and configure the serial interface and 
mode of the radio. The

 Figure 7

 diagram also appears on the bottom of the metal casing of the CL4490-PRO 

for reference when configuring the radios.  

 

Figure 7: CL4490-PRO DIP Switch Settings 

Note:   The TX/RX Mode DIP switch settings override properties set with the Laird Configuration Utility. 

RS232 

RS232 is a single-ended data transmission protocol. The RS232 signals are represented by voltage levels with 
respect to a system common (power/logic ground). The 

idle

 state (MARK) has the signal level negative with 

respect to common, and the “active” state (SPACE) has the signal level positive with respect to common.
