INSTALL the DEVICE DRIVER BEFORE connecting the radio
to your PC via USB for the first time. You will need the device
driver properly installed before you can connect to the radio via
USB. To install the device driver, download the latest version of
DevConfig
from our website. Under
Device Type
, select

RF407 Series
. Click the
Install the USB device driver
link and
follow the prompts.
Most host USB ports will supply a sufficient amount of voltage and current for
all normal operations. When used as a base radio, an external power supply is
generally not required. When sourcing operational power from the PC’s USB
port, connect the radio directly to the PC or to an externally powered USB hub.
When the radio is connected to the PC, a virtual COM port will be added to the
list of available ports (COM and LPT) devices. It will be descriptively labeled,
for example “RF407 Series (COM10)”, where COM10 denotes the COM port
enumerated by the Windows
®
operating system.
The
USB
port is always available for configuration purposes. Independent of
the Active Interface radio setting, USB can always be used for connecting with
DevConfig
for radio configuration.
The USB interface is only available for operational, network communication
when the radio
Active Interface
setting is set as
USB

7.4 CS I/O
The
CS I/O
port is a 9-pin male D-Sub connector that is typically connected to
a Campbell Scientific datalogger using the supplied SC12 cable. This
connection is used for power and data.
The
CS I/O
port is not a typical RS-232 connection and is specific to Campbell
Scientific products. CS I/O cannot be used for radio configuration using
DevConfig
.
For a typical remote radio site, the radio need only be connected to the
datalogger
CS I/O
port using the supplied SC12 cable. This connection will
supply operational power to the radio and serve as the data connection between
the radio the datalogger. The
Active Interface
setting must be set to
CS I/O
SDC
.
An alternative, but much less common, use of CS I/O is connection to another
communication peripheral through an A100 CS I/O null modem adapter (pn
