The Radio Modem is fitted with a DC power socket for use with an external
regulated 7-15VDC power source. The diagram below shows the power socket
polarity.
Power socket type and polarity.
Contact your distributor if you require an appropriate regulated mains power
supply to suit.
Starting your computer
Switch your computer on if it is not already running, and start your favorite
communications application (such as Hyperteminal for Windows). The radio
modems are factory set to a default serial baud rate of 9600 bps, 8 data bits, 1
stop bit, no parity and no flow control. Ensure your communication application
or remote terminal device is configured to these settings. Your radio modems
are now ready for use. Default operating mode for the RMX232 is in point-to-
point mode.
If you require different interface settings to the factory set defaults, you will
need to refer to the later chapter covering the radio modem configuration
commands.
Powering up the Radio Modems
Once power is applied to the DC Jack on the bottom of the RMX232 you should
see a welcome message appear on the communications application display (as
shown below). The displayed mode of operation will change to reflect the
currently configured mode of the radio modem.

(Disable startup message in setup)
Signon message as displayed upon power-up
As the signon message is provided purely as a diagnostic aid during initial
connection and setup of the radio modem, it should be disabled from within the
configurator before final commissioning.
