10) MAC Address: A unique 6 Byte, IEEE 802.3 Ethernet address assigned by Raveon Technologies to each
NL900PRO.

1) Data Encryption: Enables the Data Encryption Key. All NL900s in the same network must have the
same encryption setting.
2) RTS Enable: Enables the Request To Send control line. When enabled, enables Hardware Flow Control.
3) Parity: Needs to be enabled if host requires even or odd parity and 8 data bits. This is considered as
9-bit mode. Note: Enabling Parity cuts the overall throughput into half.
4) Full Duplex: This mode restricts Client radios to transmitting on odd numbered frequency hop bins and
the Server to even numbered frequency hop bins. Though the RF hardware is still technically half duplex, it
makes the transceiver seem full duplex. This can cause overall throughputs to be cut in half. Note: All
transceivers on the same network must have the same setting for Full Duplex.
5) Modem Mode: Full modem handshaking is supported by the transceivers when Modem Mode is
enabled. Modem Mode is incompatible with RS-485Interface. Enables, DCD, DTR, DSR and Ring Indicator
control lines.

1 Connect a NL900PRO unit to the serial communications port on the PC.
2 Connect the power supply to the NL900PRO unit. Make sure the Pwr LED is on.
3 Start the Raveon Technologies Configuration Utility.
4 Select the COM Port that is connected to the NL900PRO unit on the PC Settings page.
5 Select the Interface Baud Rate of the NL900PRO unit. All NL900PRO units are shipped with a
default rate of 57600 (unless units have been pre-configured to match specific serial settings). If
the Interface Baud Rate of the NL900PRO unit is changed, the PC Setting Baud Rate must be set to
the same Baud Rate to allow proper programming of the units.
6 Select Read Radio to display the current settings of the NL900PRO unit.
7 Change desired settings.
8 After all changes have been made, select Write Radio to save the changes.
9 Cycle Power to the unit after all changes has been saved. This will set the NL900PRO unit to its
normal mode of operation.
