2.0 Unpacking and Inspection
The following items should be found in the shipping carton. Inspect the
contents for any shipping damage. Report damages or shortages to the
distributor from which the unit was purchased. Keep all packing materials in
the event that transportation is required in the future.
Package contents (normal distribution):
1 MHX-2400 Wireless Modem module 1
2 Operating Manual (this document) 1
2.1 Additional Requirements
Since the MHX-2400 module is a unique product in a class of its own, it will
communicate only with another MHX-2400 module which has been
compatibly configured. Thus, at least two MHX-2400 modules will be
required to establish a wireless communications link.
Additionally, the following requirements should be taken into consideration
when preparing to incorporate the MHX-2400 module in new or existing
designs.
n
Small footprint for the MHX-2400 module (
e.g.,
2.1” W x 3.5” L
x 0.8” H) on the OEM PCB.
n
Serial port and control signals from the host microprocessor.
See sample application schematics in Appendix C.
n
+5 Vdc supply from the host OEM electronics.
n
An external antenna (customer supplied).
2.2 Connectors and Indicators
The MHX-2400 module connects to the host equipment by two single row
header strips on the underside of the unit. This enables the MHX-2400
module to be directly soldered or socketed onto the host equipment
manufacturer’s PCB. The pinout for the module is given in Figure 1.
