3 Getting started

This section describes the basic setup for the reference design module, and how to

launch the Labtool for manufacturing (MFG) test.
The test PC must be running on 64-bit Windows operating system.

3.1 Setup connection

Connect the DUT (reference design adapter board) as follows:

Step 1

: Place the DUT in the RF Shield Box as shown in 

Figure 9

 below.

Step 2

: Connect the DUT RF connector to the RF Tester with a RF coaxial cable and a

10 dB attenuator in series.

Step 3

: Connect a USB Type A to USB mini-B cable between the DUT Virtual UART

Connector, J3, and the Test PC.

Step 4

: Connect the 5V AC adapter to the DUT DC jack, J2, if using an external supply.

We recommend to use an external supply for MFG test; this is to prevent inadvertent

over-current draw from Test PC, when USB Port 5V of Test PC supply source is

selected.

Step 5

: Connect the Ethernet cable between the Test PC and RF Tester.
