Using serial communications software such as HypterTerminal, send the 3-
character command sequence “+++”.
When the ATLAS PL modem first enters the Command Mode, it sends the phrase
RV-M7” out it serial port, and then an “OK” sequence. The “OK” sequence is a
sequence of 4 characters:
O”, “K”, <CR>, and <LF> characters
(<CR> = ASCII 0D, <LF> = ASCII 0A)
Note that the internal power-management function may turn the product off to save
power. The LEDs on the unit will continue to blink, but all internal circuits are off.
This only happens if the TXRATE is greater than 60 seconds. The Power LED will
blink a a 4-second rate if the radio is off. When the radio powers on, it will send an
“OK”.
To ensure the internal radio is on, and able to be put into the Command Mode, you
may turn the unit off, and then back on.
5.3. Setting a Parameter
To set a parameter in the ATLAS PL 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 ATLAS
PL modem to 1234, enter the following command:
ATDT 1234 <CR>.
Once a Parameter is changed, the modem will begin using the new parameter. If
the new parameter was saved to non-volatile memory using the ATSV command,
then the new parameter will be used as well the next time the RV-M7 modem is
powered on. If a parameter is changed, but the ATSV command is not issued, the
new parameter is used to operate the modem, but when power is turned off and
back on, upon powering up, the RV-M7 will revert back to the previously saved
parameter value. If parametric changes are to be permanent, always issue the
ATSV command after all parameter changes have been made.
Note: Radios with firmware version B10 or higher do not require the ATSV
command. B10 and higher radios automatically save the parameter to EEPROM
whenever the parameter is changed.
5.4. Reading a Parameter
To read the value of a particular setting, issue the command with no parameter.
The modem will return the value followed by an “OK”.
For example, if the user enters the command to read the RV-M7’s destination
address and its address was 1234, the user would issue the following command:
ATDT<cr>
and the modem will respond with:
1234
<CR> <LF>
OK
<CR> <LF>
