3. Power adapter (test board to AC outlet)
Plug the 120VAC-to-12VDC power adapter into the wall outlet. Connect the
other end to the power jack of the test board.
4. Antenna cable (radio to magmount antenna)
Your developer’s kit includes a high-performance, 6dB-gain magmount
antenna. This antenna is terminated with a screw-on SMA plug. The
RIM 902M radio modem includes a snap-on MMCX jack. The antenna cable
supplied with your developer’s kit connects the antenna’s SMA plug to the
radio’s MMCX jack.
The magmount antenna provides the best RF performance when placed on a
broad metal surface, such as the roof of a car. When used inside a building,
performance is improved if the antenna is located near a window, with few
obstacles (wall, furniture, equipment, etc.) between the antenna and the
window. The antenna performs equally well if it is positioned upside down.
5. Turn the system on
The power switch on the test board is connected to the TURNON line of the
RIM 902M radio modem. To determine whether the radio is on, look at the
LED marked ONI. It is lit when the radio is on.
The MENU diagnostics tool
Now that you have successfully connected your RIM 902M radio modem to
your PC, you are ready to send a test packet through the Mobitex network.
Your radio modem should be activated by the network operator in order to be
used on the Mobitex network and to establish an airtime agreement. If you have
not already arranged for activation of your radio, contact your network
operator.
