8.4 Developer’s Kit Hardware Assembly
1. Figure 8.4.1 shows a DNT24P radio installed on an interface board, and a patch antenna. Observe ESD precautions
when handling the kit circuit boards. Install a patch antenna on each interface board by pressing the antenna into the in-
terface board RF connector with moderate pressure until the antenna snaps onto the connector, as shown in Figure 8.4.2.
Note that no external antenna is required when using the DNT24PA radios supplied in the DNT24A Kits.
2. As shown in Figure 8.4.3, there are three serial connectors and a power connector on the end of each interface board.
The RJ-45 connector provides an RS232 interface to the DNT24 main serial port. The USB connector provides an option-
al interface to the radio’s main serial port.

3. If using a serial cable, connect the Base interface board to the PC using a RJ-45/DB-9F cable assembly (labels on the
bottom of the interface boards specify
Base
or
Remote
). Then power the
Base
with a supplied wall-plug power supply.
