Installing the Evaluation Daughtercard
Part Number 140-00192-100
Installing the SX-560 Module
To install the SX-560 module in the SX-560-6900 Evaluation Daughtercard:
1.
Using the 40-pin OEM interface header (JP2), plug the SX-560 Module in the SX-560-6900
Evaluation Daughtercard and secure with screws, nuts and spacers (you may optionally use the
metal retaining bracket to secure the radio card and to reduce electromagnetic interference; refer to
Chapter 5 for information on using this bracket). Important
: The spacers MUST be installed to avoid
potential damage to the boards.

2. The Evaluation Daughtercard includes both on-board bead antennas and external antennas. Use the
included U.FL to U.FL cables with the bead antennas or the U.FL to RP-SMA cables with the external
antennas. Plug the main antenna cable into the Main Antenna Connector on the card (see Figure 3).
Plug the auxiliary antenna cable into the Auxiliary Antenna Connector (the auxiliary antenna improves
radio reception, but is not required for operation).
3. If you are using the on-board bead antennas, connect the other end of the antenna cable(s) into
either of the built-in bead antenna connectors (J7 and J8) as shown in figure 3. If you are using the
external antennas, connect the RP-SMA end of the antenna cable(s) to the external antenna(s).
4. Connect one serial null-modem cable from the Serial Port 3 DB-9 connector (J5) on the Evaluation
Daughtercard to a serial port on a personal computer or laptop (the computer’s serial port must be set
to 115.2Kbps, no parity, no flow control, and 8-bit character size). The PC or laptop acts as a console
port for command line configuration and monitoring.
5. If you want to use an Ethernet LAN connection for the initial configuration of the SX-560 (recommended),
plug a category 5 Ethernet cable into the RJ-45 jack. The Ethernet interface has Auto-MDIX that
automatically detects and configures itself for either a straight-thru or crossover Ethernet cable.
