II. Precautions for integration
1) Be sure to use the parts provided by IWAVE.
2) Before powering on please make sure the antenna are in good connection and not install or
remove the antennas with power on.
3) Given that the carbon fiber body and metal load may have shielding effects on antenna signals,
they should not be installed between the antenna and ground terminal. Keep the antenna on
board free from winding or blocking by obstacles. The antenna end should be vertically
downward without bending to prevent shortening communication distance and failure
communication.
4) Antennas on board should be kept away from other radio antennas to avoid electromagnetic
noise and interference. We recommend to make full use of data and video transmitting
function of FIP-2405 to minimize the radio devices quantity on board.
5) Do not disassemble or modify IWAVE FIP-2405. Any problem occur during installation, contact
IWAVE or IWAVE local branch office.
6) Keep appropriate distances between different electronic devices during installation to minimize
the electromagnetic interference.
7) Before using, please make sure all cables are in good connection and all components can work

3rd
properly.
8) After starting the product, the self-test indicators of FIP-2405 will continuously blink for 30s and
then keep bright. Only after the video from the camera shown on the display, then you can
confirm that the device work properly now.
9) Check the surrounding environment to ensure there is no other 2.4GHz devices to cause
interference.
10) If you use the Futaba remote controller, the controller should be adjusted into the French
mode.
11) Adjust the Futaba controller into French mode as following steps:
[LINKAGE MENU]→FRQUENCY→ RTN b→ [AREA]→[FRANCE]
Or connect FIP-2405 S1 serial port with trainer interface on back side of Futaba by TTL cable. And
set the Futaba RF as OFF. Through the S1 port uplink the PPM/SBUS signal.
12) Before using, please check the power of RX and TX. If the receiver power off, transmitter on
board will lose connection.
13) Adjusting RX antenna inclination can improve the signal strength and image quality.
14) The camera should be fully charged to ensure normal video output.
15) FIP-2405 support video and duplex data communication. If the video stuck or stopped for more
than 10s. It means the radio signal is weakened or the radio channel is narrowed. In this case,
the aircraft need to fly back to short the distance between TX and RX. Otherwise the TX will
lose connection.
16) Please use good electromagnetic shielding accessories(such as HD displays, Network cables,
etc.)
Notes: Improper operation of FIP-2405 may cause personal injury or damage to properties. Please
pay high attention to operation safety.

VI. Antenna Installation
6.1. Multi-rotor UAV
1) Using SMA metal shielded semi-flexible blue feeder cable provided by IWAVE to connect the TX
SMA port with antenna.
2) The antenna needs to be mounted vertically
downwards.
3) The best installation location is UAV ground bracket.
With antenna inside, the bracket can only use
fiberglass material.
4) If the ground bracket is automatically retracted, the
antenna can be installed in the lower part of the
aircraft.
5) If the antenna is intercepted by the camera or pod or
the loudspeaker, the video on RX will appear image
stuck or mosaic.

6.2. Fixed Wing UAV
1) Using SMA metal shielded semi-flexible blue feeder cable provided by IWAVE to connect the TX
SMA port with antenna.
2) The antenna needs to be mounted vertically downwards.
3) The best installation position is center of UAV tail, prominent outside the body and vertical
downward.
4) The second optional mounting position is located below the wing and body joints, vertical
down, as far as possible away from the wing but near the machine abdomen, protruding below
the abdomen level.
VII. Software Operation
Notes：As for one pair of our devices, their parameters should be consistent, which means when

TX
you
change one of them, you have to change another one, or they will lose connection.
There are two ways to modify the parameters.
1) Connect Transmitter or Receiver to PC one by one then change the parameters.
2) when Tx and Rx are working and the communication between them is successful, you can
remotely change one’s parameters which is not connected to the PC through another one which is
connected to PC.
If you find the devices cannot connect with PC, first you can wait for a moment so that the device
can finish running, then try again. Secondly, check whether the distance between transmitter and
receiver is too close, Change their position and connect again. If not these reason, change another
Ethernet cable.

2. RF Configuration Method
In this section, you can modify six parameters.
2.1. TX Rate(Default: QPSK FEC 1/2)
This setting determines the modulation type and in turn the rate at which the data is to be
wirelessly transferred. For example:
QPSK FEC 1/2: when the bandwidth is 4Mhz, the bit rate that allowed to pass by is half of the
bandwidth, namely 2Mhz.
QPSK FEC 3/4: when the bandwidth is 4Mhz, the bit rate that allowed to pass by is three-quarter of
the bandwidth, namely 3Mhz.

www.iwavecomms.com
12th
However, the bigger bit rate, the shorter distance. The same to bandwidth. Setting to the highest
rate with a poor link may result in reduced performance.
2.2.Channel-Frequency(Default:2479Mhz)
You can choose from 2402 to 2482.
2.3. Wireless Distance(Default: 5000m)
The Wireless Distance parameter allows a user to set the expected distance the wireless signal
needs to travel. The OFDM sets various internal timeouts to account for this travel time. Longer
distances will require a higher setting, and shorter distances may perform better if the setting is
reduced.
2.4. RX TX Mode:
TX Access Point - A Master may provide a wireless data connection to one slave.
RX Client - A Salve may sustain one wireless connection,i.e. to an Master.
2.5. TX Power(Default: 27dbm)
This setting establishes the transmit power level which will be presented to the antenna connector
of the RD_COFDM.Unless required, the Tx Power should be set not for maximum, but rather for the
minimum value required to maintain an adequate system fade margin.
3. RS1 Configuration method
In this section, you can modify two parameters listed in the following picture.
3.1. Data Baud Rate(Default: 115200)
The serial baud rate is the rate at which
the modem is to communicate with the
attached local asynchronous device.

www.iwavecomms.com
13th
3.2 Data Format(Default: 8N1)
This setting determines the format of the data on the serial port.The default is 8 data bits, No parity,
and 1 Stop bit.
4.RS2 Configuration method
This setting determines which protocol the serial server will use to
transmit serial port data over the OFDM network.
Remote IP Address
IP address of distant device to which UDP packets are sent when
data received at serial port.
Default: 192.168.11.2(master)
192.168.11.1(slave)
Remote Port
UDP port of distant device mentioned above.
Default: 20002
Listening Port
UDP port which the IP Series listens to (monitors).
UDP packets received on this port are forwarded to the unit’s serial
port.
Default: 20002
UDP Timeout(s)
UDP Timeout in second.
Default: 10
Character Timeout(ms)
Character Timeout in millisecond.
Default:1
Max Packet size

Default: 256
Notes: If you want to change parameters here, for example UDP IP , not only you have to write a new address
into the first blank, but also should tap into all the following three parameters into the blanks, then click the
button Serial UDP mode .
5.IP New Network Configuration method
This setting helps you to change the IP address of devices .The default of master’s IP address is
192.168.11.1,the default of slave’s IP address is 192.168.11.2.
For example,you want to change the master’s IP address to “192.168.11.5”. Then do as the
following steps.
IP Set : 192.168.11.5
IP Mask Set: 255.255.255.0
IP Gateway Set: 192.168.11.1
Next Connect IP NEW NETWORK button.
Attention! When you have changed the IP address, you should correct another device ‘s “Remote IP
Addr” into the same “IP SET”, or the serial port will lose connection.
For example, you have changed the master’s IP address to “192.168.11.5”, the you should correct
the salver’s “Remote IP Addr” to “192.168.11.5”.
6.RF New NET Configuration Method
6.1 RF Net ID:
Each network of OFDM modules must have a unique
Network ID. This Network ID must be set in each unit on
the network.
6.2 RF Encrypt KEY
This is the password, or preshared key that is required by
any device to connect to the wireless interface of the
OFDM. It is strongly recommended to always have a
password defined, and changed from the factory default.
