4 Glossary of Wireless Terminology .. 34DX80 Performance Configuration Software 1 Sure Cross DX80 Performance ConfigurationSoftwareThe Configuration Software offers an easy way to link I/O points in your wireless network, view I/O register values, and setsystem communication parameters when a host system is not part of the wireless network. The Software runs on anycomputer with the Windows Vista, Windows 7, Windows 8, or Windows 10 operating 1. Device Configuration screenUse a USB to RS-485 adapter cable to connect a standalone DX80 Gateway to the computer.

5 For DXM Controllers with aninternal DX80 radio, connect a computer to the DXM Controller using the supplied USB or Ethernet connection. Downloadthe most recent revisions of the Configuration Software from Banner Engineering's website: USB to RS-485 adapter cable is not required for the DXM Controller. For standalone DX80 Gateway devices use: USB to RS-485 adapter cable model BWA-UCT-900 for 1 Watt radios USB to RS-485 adapter cable model BWA-HW-006 for all other radios DX80 Performance Configuration Software - Tel: + 1 888 373 676732 Quick Start Installing the SoftwareThe DX80 Performance Configuration Software uses a USB to RS-485 adapter cable to connect a standalone Sure CrossGateway to a PC.

6 The DXM Controller connects directly to a PC using a USB or Ethernet 2. BWA-UCT-900 RS485 to USB Adapter CableBefore connecting a USB device, first download and run the DX80 Performance Configuration Software from BannerEngineering Corp's website ( ). If the USB device is connected while the Software isinstalling, the driver installation may not finish connect a Sure Cross wireless Gateway to a computer:1. Complete the Software installation. The program installs the DX80 Performance Configuration Software and the driverfor the Banner USB/485 Connect the USB end of the Banner USB/485 converter to a USB port on the computer.

7 The computer shouldrecognize the Banner USB/485 Connect a Banner wireless Gateway to the Euro-style connect end of the Banner USB/485 converter. The Gatewaydevice powers When using a third-party USB/485 converter, manually wire the communication and powerconnections. Refer to Banner s Gateway datasheet for the wiring pinout Launch the DX80 Performance Configuration Select the correct COMM port for the USB to RS-485 DXM Controller ships from the factory with a USB cable to directly connect to a PC.

8 An Ethernet connection is also anoption for Configuration . Refer to the DXM Controller Instruction Manual (p/n 190037) for more information about defining anIP address for an Ethernet Menu BarThe File and Device menus select the basic file operations and communication Configuration for the DX80 the File and Device menus from the menu MenuExit Closes the COMM port and exits the program. Any data that is not saved is Loads a specific XML Configuration file into the tool for editing. This XML Configuration file is unique to the DX80 Performance Configuration Software and is not compatible with other Configuration tool XML Loads blank Configuration settings into the Saves the current settings in the Configuration tool under the current XML file name.

9 The program switches to SaveAs if there is no XML file name As Saves the current settings in the Configuration tool to a new file name specified by the MenuTraffic Watcher Views all serial data traffic between the host and the connected radio. The Traffic Watcher logs file loads,error messages, and data Settings Sets the COMM port to communicate with the connected radio. There are four possible connectionwith the DX80 Performance Configuration Gateway will not remain powered up until the computer recognizes and configures the USB port.

10 After plugging the USB/485 converter into thecomputer s USB port, wait about 10 seconds for the Gateway to be powered (LED 1 solid green).DX80 Performance Configuration Software - Tel: + 1 888 373 6767 Serial Direct connection to the master radio using a RS485 to USB converter TCP Ethernet connection to a DX80 Gateway Pro DXM Connecting to a DXM internal ISM radio using USBTCP DXM Connecting to a DXM internal ISM radio using Ethernet; select the VPN checkbox only when your DXM isconnected to the Internet via a VPNM inimize Data Traffic Allows the Configuration tool to only write data to a Node that has changed.
