Programming The MDR24X units 

 

1.

 

Connect a MDR24X unit to the serial communications port on the PC. 

2.

 

Connect the power supply to the MDR24X unit.  Make sure the Pwr LED is on. 

3.

 

Start the MDR24X Configuration Utility. 

4.

 

Select the COM Port that is connected to the MDR24X unit on the PC Settings section. 

5.

 

Select the Interface Baud Rate of the MDR24X unit.  All MDR24X units are shipped with a 
default rate of 115,200 bps (unless units have been pre-configured to match specific serial 

settings).  If the Interface Baud Rate of the MDR24X unit is changed as described in Section 

4.2 Changing MDR24X Settings, then PC Setting Baud Rate must be set to the same Baud 
Rate to allow proper programming of the units. 

6.

 

Select the System Configuration for the MDR24X network, Point-to-Point (one Server and one 
Client) or Point-to-Multipoint (one Server and multiple Clients). 

7.

 

Select Read Radio to display the current settings of the MDR24X unit. 

8.

 

Change desired settings. 

9.

 

After all changes have been made, select Write Radio to save the changes. 

10.

 

Cycle Power to the unit after all changes has been saved.  This will set the MDR24X unit to its 
normal mode of operation.
