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.
