Note: All CL4790 units ship with a default baud rate of 57600 (unless units have been pre-configured to
match specific serial settings). If the Interface Baud Rate of the CL4790 unit is changed, the PC
Setting baud rate must match the device baud rate to allow proper programming of the units.

Click Open Port and verify that the Port (1/2) status bar at the bottom of the window shows the correct
COM number, is OPEN, and CTS is Low.
Note: If connecting a CL4790-RS485 unit, set Port (1/2) Handshaking to NONE and disregard the status
of CTS. Refer to the Serial Interface section for more information.

Go to the Configure tab and click Read Radio.
11.
Change settings based on the type of network needed.
Note: The Laird Configuration Utility automatically programs the mode (point-to-point or point-to-
multipoint) based on the radio’s current settings:
If the Destination Address field is set to any value other than
FF FF FF FF FF FF, the radio sends
data only to the radio whose MAC matches that specified in the Destination Address field (point-
to-point).
If the Destination Address field is set to
FF FF FF FF FF FF, it is set to Broadcast mode and
transmits to all transceivers in range with the same System ID and RF Channel (point-to-
multipoint).
For more information on settings, see the Info Center in the Laird Configuration Utility or the
AC4790 Embedded Module User Manual.
Note: The
Show Defaults button can display sample Radio Settings. These settings may not reflect the
current default settings of the radio.
