Optional Configurations
Out-of-box, the XTend-PKG-E Ethernet RF Modems comes configured to provide
immediate wireless links between devices. The default configuration of the modem
supports a wide range of RF communications.
If the modem must support additional functions, modem parameters can be
customized using standard AT and binary commands. MaxStream recommends using
the X-CTU Software when configuring the PKG-E Ethernet RF Modem. Alternatively,
programs such as "Telnet" and "HyperTerminal" can be used, although modem IP
addresses must already be known in order to establish communications.
