Connect the unit

Communication check

The ﬁ rst thing to do, after connecting the units, is to check the communication. Make sure

that both units are connected properly. The IRIS Starter kit units come pre-programmed with

a test setup. The checkpoints below are based on the functions in the Test program.

For more information on how the Test program works see the IRIS Starter kit – Test program-

document.

Check the radio communication:

• Make sure the units are at least a couple of decimetres apart.

• Press button number 1 on one of the units; this will make Input 1 go high.

• The diode that represents Output 1 on the other unit should now be lit.

Check the serial interface:

• Make sure that the serial interface on the PC is set to:

• 9600 baud, 8 bits, 1 stop bit and no parity

• Start a text terminal program, for example HyperTerminal, on the PC.

• Press button number 2 on one of the units; this will make Input 2 go high.

• The other unit should now present the identiﬁ cation number and the alias of the

sending unit on the serial interface.

• Press button numbers 4 and 5 on one of the units; this will make Inputs 4 and 5 goes high.

• The unit should now present its alias and its I/O status on the serial interface.

• Texts sent to the unit, using the terminal program, would be relayed to the other unit and

presented on the serial interface. Except “SET OUTPUT 2 HIGH”, that would make

Output number 2 go high, and texts that starts with “ALARM”, that would make Output

number 3 go high.

• All texts must end with carriage return and line feed (press enter).
