1. Package List
2. Precautions
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.
5) Do not disassemble or modify IWAVE FIP-2410. 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
properly.
8) Check the surrounding environment to ensure there is no other 2.4GHz devices to cause
interference.
9) After starting the product, the self-test indicators of FIP-2410 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.
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]
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-2410 support video and duplex data communication. If the video stuck or stopped for more
than 10s, which 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-2410 may cause personal injury or damage to properties. Please
pay high attention to operation safety.

3. Interface
Note: signal light meaning is as follows
1) After powering on, light 1,2,3 turn green, light 6 turns blue and light 8 turns red.
2) After 1 second, light 1, 2, 3 and 6 start to blink. Light 5 and 8 will keep constant light.
3) After a few seconds, the starting completed. Light 1(Green), 2(Green), 3(Green), 4(Red), 6(blue)
and 8(Red) will keep constant bright. By the way, when you use the the ETH1, 7 (Green) will
quickly blink.
1, 2, and 3 are signal strength indicators.
1Light 1 on: Signal Weak
2Light 1,2 on: Signal Normal
3Light 1,2,3 on: Signal Strong
(2) lights of 1, 2, and 3 are flashing repeatedly in sequence which means the device pairing is
unsuccessful, and Rx and Tx do not communicate.
4. Installation

4.1. Make TX and RX and accessories ready.
Besides the whole equipment we supply, you also need to make sure the IP
Camera, display and power source ready before installation.
4.2. Connection
Make the power cable, Ethernet cable, serial port cable and
antenna in good connection.
(the serial port cable is for data)
4.3. Power on
After checking all the connections are in good
condition, turn on the the video source, LCD display,
transmitter and receiver. The indicators will bright and
the whole system starts work.
Note:
Tx default IP: 192.168.55.1
Rx default IP: 192.168.55.2
Remark: In UAV application, please make the connection successfully and after the video show on ground station
smoothly then fly the UAV. About how to install the antenna on UAV please refer to the following figure.

5. Software Configuration
User’s Manual of TDD_COFDM V1.5
Note: As our devices are working pairs, so their parameters need be consistent, which mean when

www.iwavecomms.com
7th
one unit parameters are changed, the other unit parameters need to be change too. Or they will
lose connection.
The following show you two ways to do the parameters settings:
(1) Connect Tx or Rx with PC separately then change their parameters one by one.
(2) When the communication between Tx and Rx are working normally, you can change the
remote unit parameters through the local unit and then change the local unit parameters.
Note: If you find the devices cannot connect with PC, firstly wait for a moment for device finishing
its running process, then try again.
Secondly, check whether the distance between transmitter and receiver is too close, increase their
distance and try again.
If still failure, change another Ethernet cable.
5.1. Start The Software
1) Right-click the icon to choose“Run as administer”

www.iwavecomms.com
8th
2) Enter the IP address（Tx IP: 192.168.11.1 ; Rx IP: 192.168.11.2)，Next click Connect TDD button
If you want to Restart OFDM software, click Restart-TDD button.
Notice: You must restart the software after finishing modifying TX or RX parameters. Then type in another one’s
IP address, connect and modify its parameters. Please not change IP address directly in IP ADDRESS LOGIN.
5.2. RF Configuration
In this section, you can modify six parameters.
5.2.1. TX Rate(Default: QPSK FEC 1/2)
This setting determines the modulation type and the rate at which the data is wirelessly transferred.
For example:

www.iwavecomms.com
9th
Auto: The data will be transmitted at the highest possible rate in consideration of the receive signal
strength (RSSI)
If setting a fixed TX Rate, it is recommended to retain a fade
margin of at least 10dbm for optimum performance. For
example, for a link (8MHz channel) with a signal strength of
at least –75dBm, a TX rate of 16-QAM 3/4 FEC is
recommended. Note: Setting the highest rate with a poor
link will degrade the performance.
5.2.2. Channel Bandwidth(Default: 4Mhz)
The bandwidth channel can be selected from the list.
Note: Before choosing the bandwidth please refer to the
specifications to see the relationship and performance
between channel bandwidth , throughput and sensitivity.
Generally a larger channel has greater throughput at the
cost of sensitivity, while a smaller channel tends to be more
robust, but at the cost of throughput.
5.2.3. Channel-Frequency (Default:2479Mhz)
You can choose the frequency from 2402 to 2482Mhz

10th
5.2.4. Wireless Distance(Default: 10km)
The Wireless Distance parameter allows a user to set the
expected distance that the wireless signal needs to travel.
The TDD-COFDM 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.
5.2.5. RX TX Mode
TX Master - A Master provide a wireless data connection to
slave.
RX Slave- A Salve sustain one wireless connection to Master.
5.2.6. TX Power(Default: 29dbm)
This setting establishes the transmit power level which will
be presented to the antenna connector of the
TDD_COFDM. Unless required, the Tx Power should not be
set with maximum value, but rather for the minimum
value required to maintain an adequate system fade
margin.

5.3. RS1 Configuration
In this section, you can modify two parameters listed in the
following picture.
5.3.1. 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.
5.3.2. 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.
5.4. RS2 Configuration
This setting determines which protocol the serial server will use to transmit serial port data over the
TDD-COFDM network.
Remote IP Address

www.iwavecomms.com
12th
IP address of distant device to which UDP packets are sent
when data received at serial port.
Default: 192.168.55.2(master)
192.168.55.1(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: 1024
5.5. IP New Network Configuration
This setting helps you to change the IP address of devices.
The master default IP 192.168.55.1
the slave default IP 192.168.55.2
For example,you want to change the master’s IP address to
“192.168.55.5”. Then do as the following steps.
IP Set : 192.168.55.5
IP Mask Set: 255.255.255.0
IP Gateway Set: 192.168.55.1
Then click 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 “192.168.55.5”, the you should also
correct the salver’s “Remote IP Addr” to “192.168.55.5”.
5.6. RF New NET Configuration
5.6.1. RF Net ID

www.iwavecomms.com
13th
Each network of TDD-COFDM modules must have a unique
Network ID. This Network ID must be set same in each unit on
the network. You can change it according to your needs , but
TX and RX must have the same RF NET ID .
Chose the box in front of RF NEW ID , and type in the RF NET ID
you choose , then click RF new NET button.
Select the RF NEW ID, and type in the RF NET ID you choose,
then click RF new NET button.
5.6.2. RF Encrypt KEY
