2.2.5. Test Communications (X-CTU Loopback)

When testing a wireless link, consider using the following components:

• XTend-PKG-E Ethernet RF Modem (connected to a local network)

• XTend-PKG-R RS-232/485 RF Modem (w/ loopback adapter)

• PC (connected to a local network)

• Accessories (Loopback adapter, CAT5 UTP cable, power supplies and RPSMA antennas)

Hardware Setup for Loopback Test:

1. Connect the XTend-PKG-E (Ethernet) RF Modem and a PC to active Ethernet ports of the

same local network using CAT5 cables (included w/ PKG-EA accessories package).

2. Attach the serial loopback adapter to the DB-9 serial connector of the XTend-PKG-R (RS-

232) RF Modem. The serial loopback adapter configures the PKG-R RF Modem to function

as a repeater by looping serial data back into the modem for retransmission.

3. Configure the PKG-R (RS-232) RF Modem for RS-232 operation using

the built-in DIP Switch. Dip Switch 1 should be ON (up) and the

remaining switches should be OFF (down).

4. Attach RPSMA antennas to both RF Modems.

5. Power both RF Modems with power supplies (included w/ accessories package).

1. Follow the steps in the "Ethernet RF Modem Discovery" section [p9].

2. Setup hardware as shown in the "Hardware Setup…" steps above [Figure 2-06].

3. Select the 'PC Settings' tab of the X-CTU Software; then highlight the Com Port that is for-

warded to the PKG-E (Ethernet) RF Modem.

--> Make sure PC com port settings (Baud rate, Parity, etc.) on the "PC Settings" tab match

those of the Ethernet RF Modem.

4. Select the 'Terminal' tab of the X-CTU Software.

5. Begin typing characters into the terminal window.

--> Characters typed in the terminal should be echoed back to the screen [Figure 2-07].

Sent characters appear in blue and received characters in red. With each character typed,

the 'Data Out' and 'Data In' LEDs should flash briefly on each of the RF Modems.

--> To double-check the wireless link, turn off the power going to the remote PKG-R (RS-

232) RF Modem and leave the PKG-E Modem turned on. Type characters into the Terminal

Window of the X-CTU Software and note that characters are not echoed back.
