Details
Two (2) Transceivers

Choose from 2.4GHz, 900MHz or 868MHz modules. Market-ready modules help you to determine actual transmission range for your application, evaluate data throughput in the field, and choose best mechanical fit.

Two (2) Adapter Boards

RS232, RS485, 5V/3.3V serial TTL, and USB interfaces supported. Additional features:
1) Loopback feature to ease distance-testing
2) Status/communications LED indicators
3) Switches for easy configuration/test
4) Test points for troubleshooting

Software Utilities

Script-driven utilities include:
1) Transmit/receive emulator
2) Single-line command interface
3) EEPROM viewer/editor; configuration info storage file
4) "What's This" help file format describes each configuration option
5) Error-checking prevents configuration errors

Two (2) AC Power Adapters

Power for adapter board and transceiver. USB and battery power optional.

Two (2) DB9 serial cables Connect the adapter board to the PC via DB9.
Two (2) USB cables Connect the adapter board to the PC via USB.
Two (2) Dipole Antennas Convenient, small, cost-efficient antennas plug directly into MMCX connectors on the transceivers. Optional longer-range antennas are available.

Software
In an easy menu-driven format, our Windows-compatible software provides several helpful development utilities, allowing OEMs to quickly begin performing tests for configuration modes, range measurements, antenna evaluations, power management and data throughput. Plus, designers can easily program the transceivers to any desired configuration with the EEPROM Viewer/Editor feature.

Configuration
All ConnexRF transceivers have configuration parameters stored in EEPROM that are used to customize the Serial Interface Mode and provide for general system setup. The modules ship with default parameters already configured to enable plug-and-play; these can be changed using out development tools or with custom interfaces developed by the OEM.

Antennas
Antenna type, gain, and location are among the most critical elements of a wireless system. The ConnexRF Developer Kit allows OEMs to connect different antennas and evaluate their performance in various situations. In addition, our engineers can provide a comprehensive antenna review during the design process to determine the best antenna and location for the application.

Compliance
All RF products are required to meet regulatory compliance such as FCC (USA), IC (Canada), and ETSI/CE (Europe). Our OEM transceiver approvals will help eliminate significant costs and time, yet regulatory compliance is still required for the final product. AeroComm's experts can help guide OEMs through the approval process.
