Product Overview
When networked with other MaxStream Radio Modems (RS-232/485, Ethernet, USB, etc.), the
XStream PKG Telephone Modem provides a transparent wireless link between serial devices and
telephone modems. The telephone interface extends MaxStream’s over-the-air range with the
reach of any PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network).

The XStream-PKG-T RF Modem comes configured to provide an immediate wireless link between
devices; however, both the on-board RF and Telephone Modules can be configured for additional
functionality through the use of a simple AT command interface [Refer to the RF Module
Configuration [p15] & Telephone Module Configuration [p20] sections for programming options].
