“0001” in the first ATDT command is the hexadecimal representation of
the combined Network Address / Radio Address chosen for this example
(i.e., Network Address = 0, Radio address = 1). The RF400 Setup Menu
calculates and displays this number for you in Standard Setup as “0001h”.

RF400 CONFIGURATION

a.

Base RF400

1)

Active Interface: “COM2xx to RF400”

2)

AT Command Character: “-”

3)

All other settings: defaults

b.

Remote RF400s

1)

Radio Addresses: 1, 2, etc. (unique for each remote RF400 and
must agree with respective RF400Remote settings)

2)

All other settings: default

Note 1: Using a non “+” Command Character for the base RF400 is
necessary so the phone modem in the path passes the AT commands
on to the base RF400 rather than responding to them.

Note 2: If there is a neighboring RF400 network, you should change
the Hopping Sequence of base and remote RF400s to a new setting to
avoid interference (see Section 5.3.1 for method to detect neighboring
network).
