Step 2: Connecting to a Computer
The KFX receiver module needs a
power source in order to pair a Key
Fob
with
the
KFX
receiver.
Additionally, connecting the KFX to a
computer allows you to configure the
KFX receiver for your specific
applications. A ZIGMO USB module
(photo right) is used to provide power
for Pairing and Configuration of the
KFX Receiver.
By default, the KFX receiver is shipped with momentary operation of 8 relays from an
8-button key fob. The KFX is also pre-configured to talk to any NCD device that
supports API communications at 115.2K Baud. If your controller is not configured for
115.2K baud, you may change the baud rate settings of the controller or the KFX
receiver. It is important that both the XBee target device (such as an NCD relay board)
and the KFX receiver are operating at the same baud rate. Base Station software will
allow you change the settings of your controller or the KFX receiver. Base Station will
be discussed later, but for now, we will focus on pairing the KFX receiver with your Key
Fob.
The first step towards using your KFX series receiver and Key Fob is pairing your key
fobs to a KFX receiver module. Each KFX Receiver can be paired with up to 40 key
fobs. Please note that every Key Fob will perform the exact same function, as it is not
possible for each Key Fob to send different data.
