F.4 PC208W Configuration

For point-to-multipoint operation the RF401 can temporarily be put into AT

Command Mode by sending a string of three ASCII characters. The default

sequence to enter AT Command mode is:

1. No characters sent for one second (before command character)

2. “+++”characters sent (default command mode entry character)

3. No characters sent for one second (after command mode character)

4. RF401 responds by sending “OK”

The AT Command mode characters are sent by PC208W along with other

commands to change the base RF401’s Radio Address to talk to the desired

remote RF401 (see point-to-multipoint below).
