2.2.3 Step 3 — Connect Antenna

Install the antenna U.FL to RP-SMA connector cable in the bracket using two lockwashers

and the nut as shown in the insert in Figure 4. Connect the wire to connector P1 on the

RCM5600W, then attach the antenna to the antenna RP-SMA connector.

2.2.4 Step 4 — Connect USB Cable

The USB cable connects the RCM5600W to the PC running Dynamic C to download pro-

grams and to monitor the RCM5600W module during debugging. It also supplies power to

the Interface Board and the RCM5600W via the USB interface.

Connect the USB cable between USB connector J5 on the Interface Board and your PC as

shown in Figure 4. Note that the USB cable connectors are different at either end, so there

is only one way to connect them between the PC and the Interface Board.

If you prefer, you may solder the

RP-SMA antenna connector directly

to the Interface Board at P1 as shown

in the diagram at right. Before doing

so, make sure that you use a long

plastic standoff instead of the an-

tenna bracket. Then connect the wire

to connector P1 on the RCM5600W,

and attach the antenna to the antenna

RP-SMA connector.

will damage the RF circuits underneath it.

Any regulatory certification is voided

if the RF shield on the RCM5600W

module is removed.
