Configuration
4.1. Automatic DIP Switch Configurations
Each time the RF modem is powered-on, AT commands are sent to the on-board module as dic-
tated by the positions of the DIP switches. DIP switch configurations are sent automatically during
the power-on sequence and affect modem parameter values as shown in the table below.

IMPORTANT: To avoid overwriting previously stored custom configurations (due to the automatic con-
figurations that take place each time the RF modem is powered-on), it is necessary to disable a pro-
cessor located inside the modem.
To disable the processor, turn switches 5 and 6 ON (up). When switches 5 and 6 are ON, only the CS
command is sent [refer to table below].
