other end of this cable to your PC’s COM port;
• Connect an Ethernet cable to the module’s RJ-45 jack, and to a LAN or micro-LAN
hub;
• Connect the power supply to the Prototyping Board.
The PWR LED should light up. If it does not, see Section 2.3.
4.2.2 Start Dynamic C
Section 3.4 of this manual provides detailed instructions for installing and starting up Dynamic C.

4.2.3 Load Program
In Dynamic C, use the File | Open menu item to open the file explorer, and double-click
on the Samples folder. In that folder, double-click on the RCM2100 folder. In that folder,
double-click on the file FlashLED.c.
4.2.4 Compile & Run Program
