Figure 5.0.1
5.1 DNT2400DK Kit Contents
•
Two DNT2400P radios installed in DNT interface boards (labeled Base and Remote)
•
Two installed U.FL coaxial jumper cables and two 2 dBi dipole antennas
•
Two 9 V wall-plug power suppliers, 120/240 VAC, plus two 9 V batteries (not show above)
•
Two RJ-45/DB-9F cable assemblies, one RJ-11/DB-9F cable assembly, two A/B USB cables
•
One DNT2400DK documentation and software CD
5.2 Additional Items Needed
To operate the kit, the following additional items are needed:
•
One PC with Microsoft Windows XP or Vista Operating System. The PC must be equipped with a
USB port or a serial port capable of operation at 9.6 kb/s.
5.3 Developer’s Kit Operational Notes:
DNT2400DK kits are preconfigured to run at a 500 kb/s RF data rate with 1 mW of RF transmitter power.
Due to the high sensitivity of the DNT2400 radio module which provides its exceptional range, if the RF
transmit power is increased from the default 1 mW, the DNT2400 nodes must be separated by a
minimum of 6 feet for 10 mW or 25 feet at 63 mW in order to reliably link.
