B.1b. I/O LEDs 

The I/O LED indicators visualize diagnostic status information. The 
LEDs indicate module activity as follows: 

Yellow (top LED) = Serial Data Out (to host) 
Green (middle) = Serial Data In (from host) 
Red (bottom) =  Power/TX Indicator (Red light is on when       
powered; it pulses on/off briefly during RF transmission.) 

 

 

 

 

B.1c. DB-9 Serial Port 

Standard female DB-9 (RS-232) DCE connector – This connector 
can be also used for RS-485 and RS-422 connections. 

B.1d. RSSI LEDs 

RSSI LEDs indicate the amount of fade margin present in an active 
wireless link. Fade margin is the difference between the incoming 
signal strength and the module’s receiver sensitivity. 

3 LEDs on   = 

Very Strong Signal (> 30 dB fade margin) 

2 LEDs on   = 

Strong Signal (> 20 dB fade margin) 

1 LED on     = 

Moderate Signal (> 10 dB fade margin) 

0 LED on     = 

Weak Signal (< 10 dB fade margin) 

B.1e. Power Connector 

7-28 VDC Power Connector (Center positive, 5.5/2.1mm)  

Note: The XTIB-R interface board can accept voltages as low as 5V. 
Contact MaxStream support to enable this option. 

B.2a. DIP Switch 

The Configuration Switch provides an alternate method for 
entering into Command Mode. To enter Command Mode at 
the modem’s default RF data rate, hold the Configuration 
Switch down for two seconds.

Refer to the figure below for DIP Switch settings. 

 

DIP Switch automatically configures the XTend Module to operate 
in different modes during the power-on sequence. Each time the 
module assembly (interface board + XTend Module) is powered-
on, intelligence on the XTIB-R interface board programs the 
attached module according to the positions of the DIP Switch.
