6.  Configuring the M7 GX 

6.1. 

Overview 

There is a “Command Mode” used to program and 
configure the 

M7 GX

.  In the Command Mode, the 

M7 GX

 

modem accepts commands via the serial port and the user 
may configure the internal parameters of the unit, such as 
frequency and ID codes.    

6.2. 

Command Mode 

The 

M7 GX

 modem ma

y be put into a “Command Mode”, by 

entering a sequence of three plus characters (+++).  Using 
serial communications software such as 

HypterTerminal

send the 3-

character command sequence “+++”.

  

When the 

M7 GX

 modem first enters the Command Mode, it 

sends its model number out  its serial port, and then an 
“OK”.  

6.3. 

Setting a Parameter 

To set a parameter in the 

M7 GX

 modem, enter the 

Command Mode as described above, then enter the proper 
command, a space, the parameter, and then a carriage 
return.  For Example, to set the destination address of the 

M7 GX

 modem to 25, enter the following command: 

ATDT 25

 <CR>. 

6.4. CONFIG Button 

There is a small push-button inside the 

M7

 to assist.   This 

“CONFIG” button may be pressed at any time, and forces 
the 

M7 GX

 into a known state.  The CONFIG button is 

located inside the 

M7 GX

.   

 

The default settings that the 

M7 GX

 will revert to when the 

CONFIG button is pressed are: 

1.  Serial port 9600 baud, 8 data bits 1 stop, no 

parity 

2.  Serial port flow control is off.
