I/O Base Board
—The DXM I/O base board provides connections for all inputs, outputs and power. The I/O base board
contains a 12 V solar controller that accepts connections to a solar panel and sealed lead acid (SLA) battery. The battery
connection can also be used with line power to provide a battery backup in case of line power outages.
ISM Radio
—The ISM radio, either a MultiHop or DX80 Gateway, fits on the I/O base board in the parallel sockets. Install the
ISM radio so the U.FL antenna connection is to the side with the SMA antenna connectors. Connect the U.FL cable from the
ISM radio U.FL to the right side U.FL connector. The ISM radio boards are available with either a 900 MHz radio (North
America) or a 2.4 GHz radio (world-wide).
Processor
—The processor board plugs into the base board using the two 20 pin socket connectors. The board sits above
the ISM radio socket and held by the base board standoffs. Position the processor board so the USB and RJ45 Ethernet
connection is to the front, away from the SMA antenna connections.
Cellular Modem (Optional)
—The optional cellular modem (purchased separately) board plugs into the processor board with
the U.FL antenna connection to the left. Attach the antenna cable from the cellular modem to the left U.FL connection on the
base board.
In some DXM models, the cellular modem may be replaced with an ISM radio. In this configuration, position the top ISM radio
antenna connection to the left of the SMA antenna connector.
LCD (Display) Board
—The top housing contains the LCD board. The display board is connected to the base board using a
ribbon cable with a 20 pin connector.
