1.3 Setting Debug and Port 1 Configuration Jumpers
Before mounting the module on the DIN rail, you must set the jumpers for the
Debug port and the Port 1 protocol port. By default, both ports are set for RS-
232, and the Debug Port is fixed in this mode. This should be verified before
startup to minimize problems.
Note: Series A modules have active jumpers for both ports.

The following diagrams detail the jumper positions for each of the ports:
ProLinx 5000/6000 Series Module
1.4 Install the Antenna
All antennas for radios communicating directly with each other should be
mounted so they are within line-of-sight and have the same antenna polarity.
Antennas with a reverse polarity SMA connector can be mounted directly on the
radio. Screw the antenna onto the antenna port connector until snug.
Antennas that do not have a reverse polarity SMA connector must be mounted
separately and connected to the radio using a ProSoft RadioLinx adaptor cable.
Because the antenna cable attenuates the RF signal, use an antenna cable no
longer than necessary to ensure optimum performance.
Note: It is illegal to use any antenna that is not on the ProSoft Technology approved antennas list.
Contact ProSoft Technology (page 3) with any questions or browse the antenna FAQ at
http://www.prosoft-technology.com

2.1 Set Up the Project
To begin, start ProSoft Configuration Builder. If you have used Windows
configuration tools before, you will find the screen layout familiar. ProSoft
Configuration Builder's window consists of a tree view on the left, an information
pane and a configuration pane on the right side of the window. When you first
start ProSoft Configuration Builder, the tree view consists of folders for Default
Project and Default Location, with a Default Module in the Default Location
folder. The illustration below shows the ProSoft Configuration Builder window
with a new project.
Your first task is to add the 6202-WA-DFNT-DFCM3 module to the project.
1 Use the mouse to select "Default Module" in the tree view, and then click the
right mouse button to open a shortcut menu.
