Optional Configurations
Out-of-box, the XTend-PKG-R RF Modem is configured to provide immediate wireless
links between devices. The modem's default configuration supports a wide range of
RF communications.
If the RF Modem must be configured to support specific needs of a data system,
several programming options are available.
Restoring Modem Defaults
Other Configuration Options
Using the DIP Switch to configure the modem is one of several ways to configure
modem parameters. Other programming options are available such as using the
X-CTU Software "Terminal" and "Modem Configuration" tabs. Binary programming
is also supported.
Refer to the XTend-PKG-R RF Modem product manual for more information about
the available configuration options.
