Select a unique Network Identifier. This is especially
important if you have other units operating in the same
area.
Set the Destination Address to FFFF (broadcast) (for
ZXT9-RM connecting to Xtreme I/O).
If desired, you can change the baud rate and parity on the
Basic Modem Settings screen. Remember to change
your COM port to match.
Click the Update button to store the settings.
Click the Advanced Modem Settings tab. Check the
Power Level (PL). Select the appropriate power level for
your application. For bench testing, PL should be set to
0 and Radio Modems should be separated by at least 1
meter. When using higher power levels, separate the
modems by at least 7 meters.
If you changed any settings, store them by clicking the
Update button.

Click the Exit button. Power off the Radio Modem.
Configure your second Radio Modem using the same
procedure. Do not proceed to the RSSI Range Test step
until you have a second modem configured. Two
properly configured units are required to proceed to the
next step.
Configure the second unit with the same settings.

Set the remote modem to Loopback Mode. Loopback
connections can be made using the RS-422/485
interface by setting switch 1 and 2 to ON and 3 and 4 to
OFF (internal loopback with echo on). You can also use
the RS-232 interface by bridging RS-232 TD & RD on the
terminal block.
On the Radio Modem that is NOT set up for Loopback
Mode, run the RSSI Range Test. Observe the following
indications:
o
The RD, TD and RSSI LEDs will flash as data is
sent between the two units.
o
Test results will be displayed on the RSSI Range
Test screen.
Configure and Wire to Match Serial
Devices
Configure serial settings on the Basic Modem Settings tab
to match your serial device.
Configure the DIP Switch to match your serial device.
Wiring examples are located in the manual. See Step 4
for TB layout.
Terminal Block Signal Direction:
o
RS-232 (Modem is a DCE Device)
TD – Input, RD – Output, RTS – Input, CTS –
Output.
o
RS-422/485 Four Wire
TDA(-)/TDB(+) – Output, RDA(-)/RDB(+) - Input
o
RS-485 2-Wire - The A(-) and B(+) Signals are tied
together by the DIP Switch and are bi-directional.
You are now ready for field installation
