Hardware Connections
1. Attach Module to Prototyping Board
Turn the RCM3700 module so that the Ethernet jack is on the left as shown in Figure 1 below. Insert
the module’s J1 header into the TCM_SMT_SOCKET socket on the Prototyping Board. The shaded
corner notch at the bottom right corner of the RCM3700 module should face the same direction as the
corresponding notch below it on the Prototyping Board.
Figure 1. Install the RCM3700 Module on the Prototyping Board
NOTE:
It is important that you line up the pins on header J1 of the RCM3700 module exactly
with the corresponding pins of the TCM_SMT_SOCKET socket on the Prototyping Board. The
header pins may become bent or damaged if the pin alignment is offset, and the module will not
work. Permanent electrical damage to the module may also result if a misaligned module is
powered up.
Press the module’s pins firmly into the Prototyping Board headers.
2. Connect Programming Cable
The programming cable connects the RCM3700 to the PC running Dynamic C to download programs
and to monitor the RCM3700 module during debugging.
Connect the 10-pin connector of the programming cable labeled
PROG
to header J2 on the RCM3700
as shown in Figure 2. Be sure to orient the marked (usually red) edge of the cable towards pin 1 of the
connector. (Do not use the
DIAG
connector, which is used for a normal serial connection.)

Figure 2. Connect Programming Cable and Power Supply
NOTE:
Be sure to use the programming cable (part number 101-0542) supplied with this Devel-
opment Kit—the programming cable has blue shrink wrap around the RS-232 converter section
located in the middle of the cable. Programming cables from other Z-World or Rabbit Semicon-
ductor kits were not designed to work with RCM3700 modules.
Connect the other end of the programming cable to a COM port on your PC.
NOTE:
Some PCs now come equipped only with a USB port. It may be possible to use an
RS-232/USB converter with the programming cable supplied with the RCM3700 series
Development Kit. An RS-232/USB converter is available through the Z-World Web store.
3. Connect Power
When all other connections have been made, you can connect power to the Prototyping Board. Con-
nect the wall transformer to 3-pin header J4 on the Prototyping Board as shown in Figure 2 above.
The connector may be attached either way as long as it is not offset to one side.
Plug in the wall transformer. The LED above the
RESET
button on the Prototyping Board should
light up. The RCM3700 and the Prototyping Board are now ready to be used.
NOTE:
The
RESET
button is provided on the Prototyping Board to allow a hardware reset with-
out disconnecting power.
Overseas Development Kits
Development kits sold outside North America include a header connector that may be connected to 3-
pin header J4 on the Prototyping Board. The red and black wires from the connector can then be con-
nected to the positive and negative connections on your power supply. The power supply should deliver
7.5 V–30 V DC at 500 mA.
