3. Connect a serial cable to the COM port on the CSM12D. Connect the other end to an
available COM port on the Host PC.
4. Open a terminal, such as AxIDE, and configure for 9600,8,1,N.
5. Plug the transformer into a standard, 120VAC, wall outlet. Connect the transformer power
cable to the PWR jack on the CSM12D.
6. Verify the VDD LED is lit.
7. The following text will display in the terminal window:

9. The MCU module is now ready for use.
TROUBLESHOOTING
If the module fails to perform as expected, follow the steps outlined below.
1. Ensure all jumpers are installed as shown above.
2. Measure voltage input at PWR connector. Input voltage should measure between +7V and
+18V. +9V is typical
3. Ensure serial cable is connected to correct COM port on PC and securely attached to COM
connector on module. Ensure terminal window is configured correctly – 9600,8,1,N.
4. Contact Freescale Technical Information Center for further assistance. Refer to the
