Configuring the XM EODS 49

Using the XM Serial
Configuration Utility

To configure an XM-220 module using the XM Serial Configuration Utility,
follow these steps.

1. Power up the XM-220 module if you haven’t already done so, and start

the XM Serial Configuration Utility program. Click the Start program,
and then choose Programs > Entek > XM > Serial Config Utility.

2. Click the Configure button on the XM Serial Configuration Utility

screen. The XM-220 Speed Module Configuration Tool appears.

3. Review and modify any parameters as needed. See the topics below for

more details.

If you need help, press F1 to display the online help topic for the current
tab or dialog, or refer to Chapter 3 in the XM-220 Dual Speed Module
User Guide for a description of the configuration parameters.

4. When you are finished modifying the configuration parameters, choose

Device > Download to Device to download the configuration to the
connected XM-220 module.

TIP

The Serial Configuration Utility defaults to the COM
1 serial port. If you are not using COM 1, select the
correct COM port on the XM Serial Configuration
Utility screen.

When you are connected to an XM-220 module, the
XM-220 module type appears on the XM icon, and
the connection icon changes to show the
connection. Refer to Configuration Overview on
page 47 fo
r details on connecting the computer to
the XM-220 module.

IMPORTANT

Any configuration parameter changes that you make in the
Configuration Tool do not affect the XM-220 module until
you download them to the module. The module begins
using the new parameters immediately after the download.

IMPORTANT

You can save the XM-220 configuration to a configuration
file and later download it to another XM-220 module by
choosing File > Save As. You can also print the
configuration by choosing File > Print.
