Menu selections are

immediately stored to the

At this point, you should see a menu similar to the following appear:

Type AT for AT interface or hit Enter for menu

You now have the option of choosing between the menu interface, or the AT

Command interface.

For menu operation, hit ENTER. You should see the following prompt:

Enter Command :

Now, the CompactRF will respond to your menu selection. For example, to

change the unit’s Operating Mode, press the 1 key. The following sub-menu

will appear:

Operating Mode

* 1) MasterPP

2) SlavePP

ESC to exit

Select Operating Mode :

The instant a selection is made, it is immediately stored into the module’s

non-volatile memory.

3.2.2 AT Command Interface

The CompactRF may also be controlled through an AT Command line

interface, using a command set which is very similar to a traditional Hayes

telephone modem command set.

For AT Command operation, instead of hitting ENTER at the prompt, type

AT <ENTER>. The characters ‘AT’ are known as the attention characters

and must be typed at the beginning of each command line. The modem

should respond with OK. Illustrating the same example as above to

configure the Operating Mode using AT Commands, type the following:

ATS101=2 <ENTER>

The modem should respond with ’OK.’ The above command will set the

operating mode to SlavePP (Slave Point to Point).
