13.1 Cable Connections for Benchtop Testing
There are four basic requirements for operating the transceiver and evaluation
board in a benchtop test environment. They are:
• Adequate and stable primary power
• A proper antenna system or RF load (50 Ohms)
• The correct interface wiring between the transceiver and the connected
DTE device (RTU, PLC, etc.)
• A connected PC terminal to read/set transceiver parameters.
Figure 20 shows a typical setup for bench testing an OEM Transceiver. Two
such setups will be required if you intend to establish over-the-air communi-
cations with another OEM transceiver.

Antenna Connection—Transceiver Module, J200/201
Antenna connector is located at the edge of the transceiver module on the side
opposite the
Interface connector, J3. The connector can be one of several
sub-miniature RF coaxial connectors as listed in Table 3 on Page 6. Connect
an antenna or other suitable RF load to this connector. Only approved
antenna/cable assemblies may be used with the radio.
