Both the XStream RF Modem and host (PC) settings can be viewed and adjusted using MaxStream’s proprietary X-CTU Software. Use the “PC Settings” tab to configure host settings. Use the “Terminal” or “Modem Configuration” tabs to configure the RF Modem settings. Refer to the RF Modem Configuration sections for more information [p21].

Figure 3.4. Data Transmission Sequence RF Data Packet The RF packet is the sequence of data used for communicating information between MaxStream Modems. An RF Packet consists of an RF Initializer and RF Data. Figure 3.5. RF Data Packet Components * When streaming multiple RF packets, the RF Initializer is only sent in front of the first packet.
Command Mode section [p19]. 4.2.1. AT Commands MaxStream has provided X-CTU software for programming the modem using an extensive list of AT Commands. The X-CTU software provides an interface that is divided into four tabs that facilitate the following functions: •...
The following steps show how to read currently stored modem parameter values; then restore the modem parameters to their factory-default states. Open the X-CTU program (Start --> Programs --> MaxStream --> X-CTU): Under the “PC Settings” tab, select the PC Serial Com Port from the dropdown list that will be used to connect to the RF Modem.
BD register. For example, a rate of 19200 bps can be set by sending the following command line "ATBD4B00". NOTE: When using MaxStream’s X-CTU Software, non-standard interface data rates can only be set and read using the X-CTU ‘Terminal’ tab. Non-standard rates are not accessible through the ‘Modem Configuration’...
Acknowledged Mode [p46], Multi-Streaming Mode [p48] Peer-to-Peer Modems remain synchronized without use of a master/server. Each modem shares the roles of master and slave. MaxStream’s peer-to- Definition peer architecture features fast synch times (35ms to synchronize modems) and fast cold start times (50ms before transmission).
IMPORTANT: The 9XStream (900 MHz) and 24XStream (2.4 GHz) OEM Modems have been certified by the FCC for use with other products without any further certification (as per FCC section 2.1091). Changes or modifications not expressly approved by MaxStream could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
This test is called the Specific Absorption Rate (SAR) testing and measures the emissions from the radio modem and how they affect the person. Over 100 additional antennas have been tested and are approved for use with MaxStream 900 MHz Radio Modems (including “Mag Mount”, “Dome”, “Multi-path” and “Panel” antennas).

For example: Part number “X09-019PKC-RA” includes the listed accessories and part number “X09-019PKC-R” does not. The accessories kit includes hardware and software needed for developing long range wireless links. For testing the modem’s range, MaxStream recommends the purchase of one RF Modem with the accessories and one without.
(DTE). Figure B.2. Male NULL modem adapter and pinouts Figure B.3. Example of a MaxStream Radio Modem (DCE Device) connecting to another DCE device) NULL Modem Adapter (female-to-female) Part Number: JD3D3-CDN-A (Gray, DB-9 F-F) The female-to-female NULL modem adapter is used to verify serial cabling is functioning properly. To test cables, insert the female-to-female NULL modem adapter in place of a pair of modem assemblies (XIB-R-R interface board + XStream Modem) and test the connection without radio modems in the connection.
As a general rule, it is best to keep the RF cable as short as possible. All cables promote signal loss which is usually measured in dB loss per 100 ft. MaxStream provides LMR- 195 rated cables. Common cables and dB losses are included in this table: Table B.2.
