5. Configuring the MP215 With Wireless

Expert

For Windows and NT users, basic MP215 configuration can be done via the
Wireless Expert utility. (Note that Wireless Expert does not permit configuration
of auto-switching operational timers, or all S-registers.) Configuration of all other
parameters must be done via AT-commands and requires the use of a terminal
emulation program such as Hyperterm. Provisioning via AT-commands is
detailed in Section 4.

5.1. Setup

1. Prepare the MP215

Ensure a cellular antenna is connected to the MP215.

Connect your PC to the MP215 using a serial cable connected
to the PM215’s serial port.

Ensure power is applied to the MP215.

2. Start Wireless Expert

Normally Wireless Expert is found in the Watcher folder of the
Programs folder in the Start menu.

3. Select MP215 from the Modem List screen.
