Development Kit Contents
The XTend Development Kit includes the hardware and software needed to rapidly create long
range wireless links between devices.
Interfacing Hardware
The XTend Development Kit includes a pair of RS-232 interface boards that supports the RS-232/
485/422 protocols. When the modules are mounted to the interface boards, the boards provide
the following development tools:
• Fast and direct connection to serial devices (such as PCs) and therefore easy access to the
module registries - The parameters stored in the registry allow integrators to customize the
modules to suite the specific needs of their data systems.
• External DIP switch for automatic configuration of commonly used module profiles
• Conversion of signals between TTL levels and RS-232 levels
The Digi Interface board provides means for connecting the module to any device that has an
available RS-232 or RS-485/422 connection. The following sections illustrate how to use the
interface boards for development purposes.
Note: In the sections the follow, an RF module mounted to an interface board will be referred to as a
"Module Assembly".
