6. Setup and Initial Configuration
1. Connect an Ethernet cable with POE to the Ethernet port on the front of the
modem.
2. Connect a good quality antenna, cut to the operating frequency, to the RF
connector on the front of the modem, and place the antenna as high-above
obstructions as possible.
3. Connect a telnet client to port 23 of the RV-M9. The default IP address is
192.168.26.4 and the default network mask is: 255.255.255.0. Enter the DATA
role credentials (default login: data, password: data).
Program the modem's operating frequency to your desired operating frequency.
4.
This is done with the ATFX xxx.xxxxx command. See the Section 5 for
information describing the various parameters that may be modified in the
modem. In most applications, the default settings from the factory will work
fine.
With the unit in the command mode, change any of the default operating
parameters that must be modified. From the factory, the modems are
configured and delivered ready-to-use. Out of the box, they will communicate
on the default radio channel using the factory defaults.
Raveon highly recommends that you test them first with the factory
defaults and see how they work before reprogramming them.
In general, the parameters you may want to modify will be:
ATFX
ATMY
ATDT
ATMK
KEYPHRASE
SLOTNUM
The radio is now ready to use. At the telnet command prompt, enter the GPSDATA
command to view the GPS position received from another RF modem.

Frequency for this channel. Set to your frequency.
The individual ID of this unit. Default is 0001. Number all of your RV-
M9 transponders with a different MYID. Raveon recommends
sequentially numbering them, starting at number 1. With a 1-second
TDMATIME and 100mS slot times, there are 9 slots. Raveon
recommends numbering the ID of the radios that use slots 1-9 as 1-9.
The address of the unit this modem will talk to. Default is 0001.
The network address mask. Default is FFFF
Enter a security key phrase. Use any word or phrase 1-16
characters long. It is case-sensitive. DO NOT FORGET WHAT
YOU SET IT TO! The KEYPHRASE is the only parameter that
cannot be read out of the RV-M9. It must be the same as the
KEYPHRASE programmed into all the other RV-M9 transponders
in your system. The factory default KEYPHRASE is RAVEON, all
capitols.
This will change the TDMA slot assignment, leaving the ID (MYID)
unchanged. Typically, the ID and the slot number are the same.
Once this command is used, the TDMA slot number for this
transceiver to will not change if the ID of the device is changed.
Set SLOTNUM to -1 to force the Slot Number to be automatically
set to the MYID of the radio. This is the factory default setting.
