X-CTU is a MaxStream-provided software program used to interface with and configure
MaxStream RF Modules. The software application is organized into the following four tabs:
• PC Settings tab - Setup PC serial ports for interfacing with an RF module
• Range Test tab - Test the RF module's range and monitor packets sent and received
• Terminal tab - Set and read RF module parameters using AT Commands
• Modem Configuration tab - Set and read RF module parameters

NOTE: PC Setting values are visible at the bottom of the Range Test, Terminal and Modem Configura-
tion tabs. A shortcut for editing PC Setting values is available by clicking on any of the values.
Double-click the "setup_X-CTU.exe" file and follow prompts of the installation screens. This file is
located in the 'software' folder of the MaxStream CD and also under the 'Downloads' section of the
following web page: www.maxstream.net/support/downloads.php
Setup
To use the X-CTU software, a module assembly (An RF module mounted to an interface Board)
must be connected to a serial port of a PC. The interface data rate and parity settings of the
serial port ("PC Settings" tab) must match those of the module (BD (Baud Rate) and NB (Parity)
parameters).
A terminal program is built into the X-CTU Software. Other terminal programs such as
"HyperTerminal" can also be used. When issuing AT Commands through a terminal program
interface, use the following syntax:
