Installing the Hardware
Jumper settings
Note the following jumper settings on the end node terminal board:
• P6 - Install a jumper across P6 to enable the terminal board’s LEDs as follows:
– LED1 indicates power on/off.
– LED12 indicates the end node has a primary parent.
– LED2 indicates the end node has a secondary parent.
– LED3 – 6 & 10,11,13,14 indicate the state of their respective port (For example, if
the end node is configured in UART mode, LED4 will be active when receiving data
(RX line).
• P14 is used to connect the RS-232 transceiver’s I/O pins to the end node’s UART. Jumpers
must be engaged to use the end node’s RS-232 interface. To use the RS-232 transceiver, it
must be enabled by populating R6 with a 1K resistor and depopulating R19.
Default settings
Table 2-7 lists the default settings for the MeshScape end node.
