Notes
For full instructions on the use of the MTC workbench software please refer the manual provided on the
CD bundled with the modems.
The modems configuration settings can be changed by double clicking on the modem name, ‘B868-tiny’
under the COM port in the tree window. Once you have changed the settings to those which you require
they can be propagated through to the modems registers by clicking on the Apply button.
You can also change the configuration settings by entering AT commands into the terminal window in
MTC workbench. Please refer to the sections for a description of the AT commands available.
The RF modem is supplied with its registers set to their default values. Using the default settings it can
quickly and easily be used, from a PC running the Microsoft Windows operating system, to establish a
simple transparent point-to-point link.
The bundled MTC workbench software can be used by following the steps outlined below.

Connect your modem to the COM port of your PC using the supplied RS232 cable, apply power
to the modem and load the MTC workbench software. The PWR and RTS LEDs will now be on.

In the Settings menu change the user level to
advanced. From the Modem menu Serial port
configuration and select 19,000bps.
From the Tools menu select Terminal and open
a terminal window on the COM port connected
to the modem. You can now type text into the
terminal window, if the Port is opened (By
pressing the ‘Open Port’ button) then the text
data will be sent over the serial link to the
modem, as shown opposite.
Repeat steps 1-5 using either another PC or a
different COM port on the same PC.
If the configuration settings are the same for
both modems then you should now be able to
