ANSI and NFPA standards. It is solely the responsibility Prototype Board Objects of any Linx customer who uses one or more of these products to HumPRC Series Handheld Transmitter Evaluation incorporate appropriate redundancies and safety standards for the Life Board and Property Safety Situation application.
The boards serve several important functions: • Rapid Module Evaluation: The boards allow the performance of the Linx HumPRC™ Series modules to be evaluated quickly in a user’s environment. The development boards can be used to evaluate the range performance of the modules.

The Advanced Configuration tab (Figure 21) offers more detailed • User Destination Address (UDESTID) is the address of the destination configuration options for the active module. module when User and Extended User addressing modes are used. • User ID Address Mask (UMASK) is the mask for screening incoming packets.

• The UART Data Timeout (DATATO) sets the number of milliseconds from the last character received on the UART before the module transmits the data in its buffer. • Selecting the WAKEACK box instructs the module to output the acknowledgement (0x06) on the UART when the module wakes from sleep or power cycle.
Development Kit Demonstration Software Example 4. The Items drop down menu displays all of the items that are available for the active module (Figure 26). Selecting one of the items from This example shows how to configure a module using the development kit this menu automatically fills in the Command box.

To change the status line directions, first change the Status Line Direction When the Write button is clicked, the new states are written to the module option to “Direction set by Status Line Mask.” The change is highlighted in and are reflected in the model to the right. All lines that were unchecked red (Figure 29).

Carrier Board Schematic The Join Process selects a random 3-byte number that is used as a network address. This is placed in the upper 3 bytes of the module’s local source address (USRCID) and the destination address (UDESTID). In this example, the number is 0x4CA664.
