ROGRAMMING THE
CL4490
Laird provides the easy-to-use Configuration Utility software for programming the CL4490. The GUI based
software does not require any hardware configuration (with the exception of the DIP switches on the
CL4490-PRO) and works by itself. The software is compatible with Microsoft® Windows. CL4490s are plug-
and-play devices that work with minimal or no configuration.
This section provides instructions for quick and simple setup of both point-to-point and point-to-multipoint
CL4490 networks. The Laird Configuration Utility User Manual provides a full description of the software
tool’s functionality and features.
CL4490 customers who need advanced features and functionality like Transmit/Receive API can unlock these
and other features in the Laird Configuration Utility software using the
Enabling the Security Pane application
note. The Info Center located on the Configure tab of the Laird Configuration Utility provides a quick
explanation of all CL4490 features. Detailed descriptions for all available 4490 features can be found in the
AC4490 Embedded Module User Manual .
To program the CL4490, follow these steps:
1. Start the Laird Configuration Utility. Click here to download.
2. Connect a CL4490 unit to the serial communications port on the PC (Refer to the Serial Interface
section).
3. Attach the antenna to the CL4490 unit, make sure connection is secure.
4. Connect the power supply to the CL4490 unit. Make sure the Pwr LED is on.
5. From the PC Settings tab in the Configuration Utility, select Connex4490 from the Product drop-
down menu.
6. Click Find Port.
7. From the Port drop-down menu, select the COM port that is connected to the CL4490.
8. Select the Baud rate from the drop-down menu.
Note: All CL4490 ship with a default rate of 57600 (unless units have been pre-configured to match
specific serial settings). If the Interface Baud Rate of the CL4490 unit is changed, the PC Setting
Baud Rate must match the device baud rate to allow proper programming of the units.
9. Click Open Port and verify that the Port (1/2) status bar at the bottom of the window shows the
correct COM number, is OPEN, and CTS is Low.
Note: If connecting a CL4490-RS485 unit, set Port (1/2) Handshaking to NONE and disregard the status
of CTS. Refer to the Serial Interface section for more information.
10. Go to the Configure tab and click Read Radio.
11. Change settings based on the type of network needed.
