Select a unique Network Identifier. This is especially
important if you have other units operating in the same
area.
Set the Destination Address to FFFF (broadcast) (for
ZXT9-RM connecting to Xtreme I/O).
If desired, you can change the baud rate and parity on the
Basic Modem Settings screen. Remember to change
your COM port to match.
Click the Update button to store the settings.
Click the Advanced Modem Settings tab. Check the
Power Level (PL). Select the appropriate power level for
your application. For bench testing, PL should be set to
0 and Radio Modems should be separated by at least 1
meter. When using higher power levels, separate the
modems by at least 7 meters.
If you changed any settings, store them by clicking the
Update button.

Set the remote modem to Loopback Mode. Loopback
connections can be made using the RS-422/485
interface by setting switch 1 and 2 to ON and 3 and 4 to
OFF (internal loopback with echo on). You can also use
the RS-232 interface by bridging RS-232 TD & RD on the
terminal block.
On the Radio Modem that is NOT set up for Loopback
Mode, run the RSSI Range Test. Observe the following
indications:
oThe RD, TD and RSSI LEDs will flash as data is
sent between the two units.
oTest results will be displayed on the RSSI Range
Test screen.

Terminal Block Signal Direction:
oRS-232 (Modem is a DCE Device)
TD – Input, RD – Output, RTS – Input, CTS –
Output.
oRS-422/485 Four Wire
TDA(-)/TDB(+) – Output, RDA(-)/RDB(+) - Input
oRS-485 2-Wire - The A(-) and B(+) Signals are tied
together by the DIP Switch and are bi-directional.
