2.1. Providing a Power Source
A power source must be provided to the R2D7 on system 1. This source may be either
a DCPM or an “EYE” port of and RP or RQ controller (see figure 2.0.1).
2.2. Providing an RS-232 Source
The RS-232 source may be any device that is capable of communicating using the
standard RS-232 protocol. As mentioned before, this may include devices such as a
home automation system or a personal computer.
When configuring the RS-232 device, the following table defines the port settings
required by the R2D7:
Port Speed 9600 baud
Data Bits 8
Parity None
Stop Bits 1
Flow Control XOn / XOff
To make the cable from the RS-232 source, use the figure 2.2.1. Note that the
“Receive” and “Transmit” pins on this diagram are the “Receive” and “Transmit” as
labeled on the RS-232 source, not the R2D7.
