To install the modem and test modem range, you need:
XTend-PKG-U™ USB RF Modem
Quick Start Guide
• One XTend-PKG-U™ USB RF Modem
• One XTend-PKG-R™ RS-232/485 RF Modem
• Accessories (USB cable, Loopback Adapter, 2 Power Supplies, 2 RPSMA Antennas)
• One Windows computer that has an available USB port and is loaded with the following
software: X-CTU software and USB RF Modem drivers.
Create a long range wireless link in minutes.
Hardware Setup
1. Verify PKG-U RF Modem ("Radio1") was successfully connected to the USB port of the PC.
2. Attach serial loopback adapter to the female DB-9 serial connector of the PKG-R RF Modem
(Radio2). The serial loopback adapter configures Radio2 to function as a repeater
by looping data back into the modem for retransmission.
3. Configure Radio2 (PKG-R RF Modem) for RS-232 operation
using its built-in DIP Switch (Switches 1, 5 & 6 are ON (up)
and the remaining switches are OFF (down)).
4. Attach RPSMA antennas to Radio1 & Radio2.
5. Power Radio1 & Radio2 through their respective power connectors. Radio1
can be powered through the USB connection (Bus power mode); however,
its power output is limited to 100 mW.
