Connections
The minimum connections required for an SDR2x2W-P to join a Mesh network are power and
antennas. An Ethernet connection to a PC is required for initial configuration.
Note: CA3172 PSU or CA0002 connected to an 8-18VDC power source can be used as power
options.
Depending on how the SDR2x2W-P is to be deployed, a video source, audio headset, or serial data
connections may be attached for additional functionality. Please refer to the user guides for details.
Note: The cables in the image below are provided for illustration, a full list of cable options can be
found in the datasheet or user guide.

Initial Communications
DTC’s Node Finder application can be used to identify all DTC device Ethernet IP addresses
connected on a network.
The default setting requires the device to be connected by Ethernet to a DHCP server which will
automatically allocate an IP address. If a DHCP server is not available or the SDR is connected
directly to a PC, the SDR and PC IPv4 address will need to be configured to be on the same subnet.
Right-click the SDR on Node Finder to reconfigure the IP settings as needed.
When the SDR IP address has been established, open a web browser, and enter it in the address bar.
On authentication, leave the Username blank and enter the Password as Eastwood.

Basic Mesh Setup
Mesh settings must be configured to join a network. In the web user interface Presets>Mesh Settings
page, the settings highlighted below must be the same for all nodes in a network except the Node Id
which should be unique. These settings will depend on operational requirements.
When the SDR has been configured, the Ethernet connection to the PC can remain if it is to be the
control node for the Mesh network, otherwise, disconnect to prevent network looping.
