7.7.2.3 Using
Device Configuration Utility
to connect to the CRVW3–
RF407 over the radio
If no other CRVW3–RF407s are on the radio network (powered or in range),
Device Configuration
Utility
connects only to the CRVW3 device that is powered and available by using the
RF451/RF452/COM port on the computer as a transparent link. The
Device Configuration Utility
screens should act just as they do when the computer has a wired connection to the CRVW3. You
should be able to view and set all the settings of the CRVW3 over the radio connection.
1. Position the RF407 and computer at least 25 feet away from the CRVW3. The CRVW3
should no longer be wired to any device.
2. In
Device Configuration Utility
select CRVW Series.
3. Select the communications port on the computer that is connected to the RF407 radio.
4. Click Connect.
5. Confirm that the RX/TX LED flashes red and green on both the CRVW3 and RF407.
