Software Settings – Using MaxStream X-CTU Software
Note: radios in a network can only communicate if they have the same settings for Vendor ID and Hopping
Channel.
• Connect a powered up MaxStream radio to your PC’s COM port (eg COM1).
• Run the MaxStream X-CTU program supplied with the radio.
• From the PC Settings tab, ensure X-CTU is setup to use the right COM port, 9600 baud (XTend) or
19200 baud (XStream), 8 data bits, no parity and 1 stop bit.
• Select the Test / Query button to check communications to the radio.
• From the Modem Configuration tab, select the Read button. All the radio settings will be read into the
program.
• From the Networking & Security section of the radio settings:
Set Hopping Channel to the same number as all the other radios in your network.
Set Destination Address to FFFF Hex.
Set Source Address to a unique value in your network (all radios in the network should have a different
Source Address in the range 0-FFFF Hex).
Set RF Mode to Repeater or Repeater End Node (Repeater is used to relay messages to another radio
and will also allow the local radio to communicate).
Note: Modem VID (Vendor ID) should be set to the same number as all the other radios in your network.
This can be set using a terminal program as described below.
• If using an XTend radio, scroll down to the RF Interfacing section of the radio settings and change BR
to 0 (ie. set RF data rate to 9600 bps).
• Select the Write button. The settings will now be written and saved in the radio.
