HARDWARE SETUP
To set up the hardware, perform the following steps:
1. Mount the RN-XV module onto the socket at M1 on the RN-XV-RD2 evaluation board. The header is not keyed;
you must orient the module as shown in Figure 2. The RN-XV provides power to the evaluation board.
2. Connect the USB cable to a USB port on your computer. Windows should automatically install the drivers for the
cable. If it does not, download and install the FTDI drivers from the Support page on the Roving Networks
website at
http://www.rovingnetworks.com/support.php
. Note the COM port to which you have attached the
cable.
3. Connect the USB cable to the evaluation board at J2.
4. Attach a jumper to the pins at J1 if the board if it is missing.
NOTE:
If you remove the jumper, you can use these pins to probe voltage levels on the board. If, however, you
leave the J1 pins without a jumper, the board will not function.
The RN-XV supports several antenna options. The RN-XV-W, which Roving Networks recommends you use for this
evaluation, is shipped with a wire antenna. Therefore, you do not need to install a separate antenna for the evaluation
described in this document.
