CL4424 User’s Manual

Destination Address:  Programmed in the Point-to-Point Server, Destination Address is the MAC 
Address of the CL4424 Client.  Used to optimize Point-to-Point communications by utilizing RF 
Acknowledgement. 

RF Delivery:  Shows if the CL4424 is configured in Broadcast mode or Addressed mode.  This is 
controlled by the System Config selection that was made when the CL4424 was configured. 

Firmware Version:

  

Displays the CL4424’s firmware version. 

MAC Address:  A unique 6 Byte, IEEE 802.3 Ethernet address assigned by AeroComm to each 
CL4424. 

 

4.2.2 Optional 

Settings 

RTS Enable:  Enables the Request To Send control line.  When enabled, enables Hardware Flow 
Control. Refer to Section 2.3 Hardware Flow Control. 

Full Duplex:  This mode restricts Client radios to transmitting on odd numbered frequency hop 
bins and the Server to even numbered frequency hop bins.  Though the RF hardware is still 
technically half duplex, it makes the transceiver seem full duplex.  This can cause overall 
throughputs to be cut in half.  Note:  All transceivers on the same network must have the same 
setting for Full Duplex.  

 

4.2.3 PC 

Settings 

Port:  On startup, the software will search the Windows Registry to locate all serial 
communications ports.  It will designate each port it finds by displaying the full Windows identifier 
for the port.  Select the port that is connected to the CL4424 unit. 

Baud Rate:  Must be equal to the Interface Baud Rate setting of the CL4424 unit that is to be 
configured. 

System Config:  Type of CL4424 network to be configured.  Valid choices are Point-to-Point (one 
Server and one Client) or Point-to-Multipoint (one Server and multiple Clients). 

Attention: When setting up a Point-to-Point network the Server’s Destination address must be 
programmed with the Client’s MAC Address. 

4.2.4 Additional 

Features 

Show Defaults:  When this button is clicked, the default values will be shown for all the 
ConnexLink Settings parameters. 

Save File:  This will save all the ConnexLink Settings parameters to a file. 

Load File:  This will load a previously saved file and put all the values from that file into the 
ConnexLink Settings parameters.
