3.  Connect the STB to a PC with the USB cable. 
4.  A successful installation and enumeration of the USB connection with the PC is 

indicated by the power status LED on the STB. 

3.2 Set up the terminal program on the PC 

A terminal program running on the PC is used to control the application running on 
the RCB connected to the STB. Set up the terminal program as follows: 

BAUD RATE:

 

9600 

PARITY:

 

None 

DATA BITS:

 

STOP BITS:

 

FLOW CONTROL:

 

Off 

3.3 Power up the boards 

1.  Apply power to the standalone RCB 

(optional) by turning on the power 
switch on the top side of the board. 
The RCB runs a power-on check and 
indicates the successful completion by 
switching on the second of the three 
LEDs. 

2.  The RCB mounted on the STB is powered via the USB connection. Make sure 

that the batteries are removed or that the power switch is in the off position. 

3.4 Run the packet error rate measurement 

Type any character in the terminal window 
to initiate the configuration procedure for 
both RCB nodes and show the menu. 
Optionally, if no peer node is active, the 
search for a peer device can be aborted by 
pressing ENTER. The node gets configured 
for stand-alone operation. The packet error 
rate measurement can be operated through 
the menu options displayed on the UART 
terminal program. 

A detailed description of the menu options can be found in t

4 Serial bootloader
