Set SRM-5A at PC end to “DCE” mode.

Set SRM-5A at RF401 end to “DTE” mode.

The PC to SRM-5A cable is typically a 9-pin female to 25-pin male (CSI Item

# 7026). The SRM-5A to RF401 cable is 25-pin male to 9-pin male available

as CSI Item # 14413.

Setup LoggerNet as direct connect (refer to Section 3.2.3, Step 3 – LoggerNet

FIGURE G-1. Short-Haul Modem to RF401 Setup

Configure RF401s for point-to-point (see Section 3.2, Quick Start). Default

settings should work unless there is a neighboring network.

- RX LED Test -

To determine if there is a neighboring RF401 network in operation

using the same hopping sequence as yours, stop communications on

your network and observe RF401 green LEDs for activity. At this

point, any green LED activity would indicate that there is a nearby

network using the same hopping sequence.

12 V power for the base RF401 is typically supplied using the AC adapter

(shown in FIGURE G-1).
