User's Manual

If the unit was configured for RS-485, RS-422, or Ethernet, you must
disconnect other devices and use an RS-232 device to configure the M7.
Even though the serial baud rate reverts to 9600 baud when the CONFIG
button is pressed and the IO port is RS232, it will revert back to the settings
programmed into the M7 modem once the Command Mode is exited.
Note: If the user-interface is password protected, and the Config button on
the M7 is pressed, for security reasons, the encryption phrase is
automatically erased.
4.6. Exiting the Command Mode
There are three ways to exit the command mode. They are:
1. ATCN Issuing the ATCN. The M7 radio will exit the command mode, and
begin normal operation.
2. EXIT Issuing the EXIT. The M7 radio will exit the command mode, and
begin normal operation.
3. Time Out. After a pre-set amount of time (60 seconds is the factory
default time), the modem will automatically exit the Command Mode, and
continue normal operation. Changes will not automatically be saved. This
time-out duration may be set with the ATCT command.
4.7. Password Protection
One M7 series products with firmware version C0 or higher, the user interface
m
ay be password protected. If it is password protected, the radio will output a
“password:” prompt when entering the command mode.
When in the command mode, to enable the use of a password enter:
Password xxxx <CR>
Where xxxx is the 2-7 digit password you would like to protect the user
interface with.
To disable password protection, enter:
Password 0 <CR>
Note: If the user-interface is password protected, and the Config button on
the M7 is pressed, for security reasons, the encryption phrase is
automatically erased.
