Setting Up a Serial Data Radio System
Use this Quick Start Guide to set up a simple point-to-point serial wireless link on your desk. We recommend completing these steps
when setting up your first network to avoid common mistakes.
Step 1 - Create a working system without the radios.
1. Assemble the two devices you would like to connect wirelessly on your desk. For this example, we are connecting a SureCross
DX80 Gateway radio and a notebook computer.
2. Connect the computer and Gateway using an RS-485 cable. For this example, we are using a BWA-UCT-900 USB to RS-485
adapter cable and a DX80G9M2S-P Performance FlexPower Gateway.
3. Configure the COM port settings of both devices and verify the system works properly before installing the radios. If possible,
use the default radio settings of 19,200 bps, 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit.
4. Note the communication settings your system is using. The following settings are supported by the serial radio:
• Data Rate: 19200 (default), 1200, 2400, 9600, 38400, 57600,or 11520
• Parity: None (default), odd, even
• Note that 8 data bits and 1 stop bit must be used when connecting to the serial data radios. These settings are not
configurable.
