PREVIEW VERSION
There are two versions of the RCM4510W model—the standard release, available after April,
2007, is identical in form and function to the preview version. The difference between them is that
the RF module is made of discrete onboard components in the preview version, and is included in
the pluggable Digi International
preview version is also about 0.01" (0.2 mm) less than that of the standard release; Rabbit rec-
ommends that you use the dimensions for the standard release specified in this manual in your
design. The preview version has not undergone certification testing and is intended for develop-
ment purposes only. The preview version will no longer be offered once the standard release is
available.
NOTE: At the present time the Digi International
RCM4510W are not compatible with other XBee
used with Rabbit's ZigBee
The RCM4510W is programmed over a standard PC USB port through a programming cable sup-
plied with the Development Kit.
NOTE: The RabbitLink cannot be used to program the RCM4510W or other RabbitCore mod-
ules based on the Rabbit 4000 microprocessor.
Appendix A provides detailed specifications for the RCM4510W.
