AW900R2-EVAL

• Dumping a large volume of data at a fixed high Baud rate runs the risk of data

corruption if anything (tuning, noise retries, channel switching, etc.) causes

the 4 KB buffer in the sending radio to be overwritten.

8. The AW900R2’s chosen configuration can be saved to a local data file for future

use by clicking the “Save” button. You might want to do this when configuring both

ends of the link since the AccessPoint/Subscriber Unit choice is the only difference.

The configuration can then be retrieved using the “Load” button. In each case, a file

explorer popup allows you to save and retrieve the config file to a location of your

choice. The default filename is EVK.conf.
9. When you are ready to upload the configuration to the AW900R2 module, click

the “Send” button. This uploads the configuration and causes the module to reboot.

You can reboot without upload by clicking “Reboot Target.” Keep straight which

COM port belongs to which USB interface. It is common to connect the two modules

of a link at the same time to two different USB ports and if you get confused about

which port is which, the wrong configuration can be overwritten.
10. After both modules of the link are configured and rebooted, they should suc-

cessfully find each other and link. The successful accomplishment of this linkage

can be determined either by the Stats & Spectrum tab in EvkUtilityLite or by seeing

the correct pattern of LEDs on the modules.
11. Click the Stats & Spectrum tab at the top of the EvkUtilityLite window. Make

sure that you select the right COM port with the dropdown menu at the top. (It

will not change automatically to match the port selected on the Boot Configuration

tab.) This page will appear:
