The materials you received may vary from those depicted in the figures,
which should be referred to only as a guideline.
2.1 Additional Requirements
Since the MRX-900 is a unique product in a class of its own, it will
communicate only with another MRX-900 which has been compatibly
configured. Thus, at least two MRX-900s will be required to establish a
wireless communications link. Each MRX-900 will also require access to a
120 VAC power source.
Additionally, the following requirements should be taken into consideration
when preparing to install your MRX-900 wireless modem. These represent
“typical” requirements, but due to the large variation of user needs and
applications, the items are
user-supplied
and are not accessories which
normally ship with the MRX-900. However, most of these are readily
available from any electronics or computer retailer, or they can be ordered
through your distributor for Microhard Systems’ products.
n
Shielded “straight-through” RS-232 cable (typically DB9P-to-
DB9S or DB9P-to-DB25S) for each MRX-900 to DTE
connection*.
n
Connection adapters and converters, if necessary (
e.g.
, gender-
changers, DB9-to-DB25 adapters, etc.)
n
Terminal device (
e.g.
, PC or laptop) with functional RS-232 port
and appropriate communications (terminal emulation) software.
n
Mounting hardware (screws) if surface or wall mounting is
desired (see Appendix D for mounting information)
* Note: DB9P denotes a 9-position D-sub
male
connector (with
pins
), while DB9S
denotes the mating connector of
female
gender (with
sockets
).
Although the physical space required for the MRX-900 is minimal, you
should ensure that there is sufficient room for access to the unit’s rear panel
(where connectors and indicators are located), as well as for an antenna to be
connected (typically oriented in an upright/vertical position).
