HN-21xD/DX Quick Start Guide
The HN-21xD comes with the items shown below. Identify the various compo-
nents before beginning.
A pair of HN-21xDs is setup by performing the following steps:
1.
Install the HopNet Configuration Wizard on a PC.
2.
Connect the HN-21xD to the PC.
3.
Set one HN-21xD as a base.
4.
Run a communications test.
These steps are performed by connecting the HN-21xD to a PC running the
HopNet Configuration Wizard included on the CD. The communications tests
requires a second unused serial port on the PC or a second PC running the
HopNet Configuration Wizard.
1 - Install the HopNet Configuration Wizard on a PC.
The HopNet Configuration Wizard is located on the software and documentation
CD included in the HN-21xD package. Install the program by inserting the CD in
the PC and following the installation wizard. If autorun has been turned off,
double-click on setup.exe on the CD to start the wizard.
2 - Connect the HN-21xD to the PC.
Connect one end of the serial cable
to the PC as shown in Figure 1, then
connect the other end to the 9-pin
serial connector labeled “Data” on
the HNDRSA serial adapter box.
(See Figure 2)
Verify the Carrier Detect buttons on both HN Wizard screens are on (red), and
click on the Send Data button on each HN Wizard screen.
Note: The carrier detect LED on the serial adapter box will not come
on until the HN-21xD has been found by the HN Wizard.
The HN-21xD set up as the Base will send the message "Base Test Message"
to the Remote HN-21xD. This message will be displayed in the message
window in the HN Wizard running on the PC to which the Remote HN-21xD is
connected. The Remote HN-21xD will send the message "Remote Test
Message" to the Base HN-21xD.
This message will be displayed in the message window in the HN Wizard
running on the PC to which the Base HN-21xD is connected. The test will run
continuously until the Send Data button is clicked a second time.
