Signal Dir valid if module is configured as SPI Master User Manual Proprietary & Confidential Page 4 version 1.0 Power is supplied to the modem through pins 38, 39 and 40. Pin 39 must be supplied with 2.7 to 3.3 Volts and powers the digital and RF functional entities of the modem. The modem has internal filtering circuitry to smooth out the supply voltage but it has no onboard regulators. All of the remaining pins of the modem are I/O lines of the processor, except for pin 50, which is the RF I/O port. The voltage on any of the I/O lines should never exceed VCC+0.3 V. Pins 1 to 4 are attached to UART 2. Pins 5 to 8 are attached to UART1. If connecting to the serial port of a PC, a level-shifting transceiver must be employed in order to provide the appropriate voltage levels on the RX and TX lines. 3. Operation of the Nivis Radio Modem Communication with the VN210 radio modem happens through serial port 1. The baud- rate is set to be 115200, 8N1. 3.1. Getting started Open a terminal software on a serial port with the above settings and connect to the RF modem. Upon power up, the terminal will display a list of the available commands. 4. RF Exposure Limit Warning To comply with FCC’s RF exposure limits for general population / uncontrolled exposure, the antenna(s) used for this transmitter must be installed to provide a separation distance of at least 20cm from all persons and must not be co-lo…
