Command Mode 

To modify or read RF module parameters, the module must first enter into Command Mode - the 
state in which incoming characters are interpreted as commands. Two command types are 
available for programming the on-board RF module: 

 

AT Commands 

 

Binary Commands 

Refer to the RF Module Configuration sections [beginning on the next page] for more information.  

For information about programming the on-board telephone module, refer to the Telephone 
Module Configuration [p20] section. 

 

NOTE: The XStream-PKG-T RF Modem automatically powers up to a Command Mode for the on-
board telephone module, the on-board RF Module does not. To enter RF Module into Command 
Mode for the purpose of programming the module, follow the refer to the RF Module Configuration 
section [next page].
