DNT90 Integration Guide - 05/10/12
There are three serial connectors and a power connector on the end of each interface board, as shown in
Figure 8.4.4. The RJ-45 connector provides an RS232 interface to the DNT90P’s main serial port. The
USB connector provides an optional interface to the radio’s main serial port. The RJ-11 connector pro-
vides an RS232 interface to the radio’s optional diagnostic port. The DNT90 Demo utility program runs on
the radio’s main port.
Figure 8.4.4
Many desktop PCs have a built-in serial port capable of operation at 9600 bps. The kit can be run satis-
factorily at the 9600 bps data rate, but not at its fastest throughput. Use the RJ-45 to DB-9F cable as-
semblies for serial port operation.
Optionally, the kit development boards can be run from USB ports. Plugging in the USB cable automati-
cally switches operation from the RJ-45 connector. The USB interface is based on an FT232RL serial-to-
USB converter IC manufactured by FTDI. The FT232RL driver files are located in the i386 and AMD64
folders on the kit CD, and the latest version of the drivers can downloaded from the FTDI website,
www.ftdichip.com. The drivers create a virtual COM port on the PC. Power the Base using one of the
supplied wall-plug power supplies. Next connect the Base to the PC with a USB cable. The PC will find
the new USB hardware and open a driver installation dialog box. Enter the letter of the drive holding the
kit CD and click

. The installation dialog will run
twice
to complete the FT232R driver installation.
8.5 DNT90 Utility Program
The DNT90 utility program requires only one PC for initial kit operation and sensor applications (ADC,
DAC and digital I/O). Two serial/USB ports are required for bidirectional serial communications. Section
8.6 below covers using the DNT90 Demo utility program for initial kit operation and familiarization. Section
8.6.1 covers serial message communication and radio configuration.
