Symphony Link Development Kit Components The Symphony Link Development Kit provides all the hardware to setup and experiment with a Symphony Link network. The development kit includes... A gateway A Wifi-enabled Symphony Link Gateway (model LL-BST-8-915-SYM-W-I-US), including peripheral components to operate the gateway: •...
Page 5 • 915-MHz antenna (Linx Technologies ANT-916-CW-HWR-SMA) for each A network tester The network tester is a device to test the coverage of a Symphony Link network. The network tester automatically relays GPS position and on-board sensor data (temperature, pressure, humidity) to a Symphony Link network using an LL-RXR-27 module.

Page 8: Step 1: Turn On The Gateway
Symphony Link Development Kit Step 1: Turn on the gateway Connect the antennas. Connect the 915-MHz antenna to the gateway's UHF antenna jack and the Wifi antenna to the Wifi jack. Apply power. Connect one end of the wall-plug adapter to the gateway's Power port and the other end to an electrical outlet.
Page 9: Step 2: Access The Gateway's Local Webpage
Symphony Link Development Kit Step 2: Access the gateway's local webpage Connect a PC. Wait a minute for the gateway to bootstrap, then connect a PC to the local Ethernet jack (the middle one) using the provided Ethernet cable. Navigate to the local webpage.
Page 10 Symphony Link Development Kit The gateway's local webpage appears. The local webpage provides an interface to view the status of the gateway, to connect it to the Internet, and to register the gateway with a Conductor account. Symphony Link Development Kit...
Page 11: Step 3: Connect The Gateway To The Internet
Symphony Link Development Kit Step 3: Connect the gateway to the Internet To connect using WiFi... In the Wireless tab of the local webpage, select the Enabled checkbox. Select a Wifi network from the SSID dropdown listbox and enter the password in the SHARED KEY editbox.
Page 12 Symphony Link Development Kit After a few moments, the Wireless tab updates with the connection information. To connect via wired Ethernet... Connect a DHCP-enabled network to the gateway's LAN Ethernet jack (the one closest to the serial connector). In the Wired Network tab, select the Enabled checkbox. Click Submit.
Page 13: Step 4: Register The Gateway With Conductor
Symphony Link Development Kit Step 4: Register the gateway with Conductor This step connects your gateway to your web-based Conductor account. Register the gateway. Once the gateway is connected to the Internet, click the Register Gateway button in the Symphony Registration section of the local webpage.
Page 14 Symphony Link Development Kit The Register Gateway prompt appears. In this example, we're going to register the gateway with a new Symphony Link Network. (But if you want, you can simply register the gateway with the Open Gateway network.) Click the Create Network button.
Page 15 Symphony Link Development Kit Conductor populates a new, unique network to the list. In this example, it is Network xB36E. (We'll rename it later.) Click the Register button. The prompt disappears and the Symphony Registration section of the local webpage updates. It shows the gateway is registered with the newly created network.

Symphony Link Development Kit Step 5: Organize your Conductor account Add a new application to your Conductor account. Open a browser and navigate to conductor.link-labs.com. Log in using your account credentials. Symphony Link Development Kit Page 16...
Page 17 Symphony Link Development Kit In the Applications section of your Conductor account, click the Add Application button. Conductor generates a new, unique Application Token and adds it to the list. In this example, the new application is called Application xFAA9.
Page 18 Symphony Link Development Kit Click on the name of the new application. The Application pop-up window appears. Symphony Link Development Kit Page 18...
Page 19 Symphony Link Development Kit Rename the new application by entering "eval board demo" (or whatever you would like to call it) in the NAME field of the pop-up window. Exit by clicking outside the pop-up window. The new name of the application updates to the list of applications.
Page 20 Symphony Link Development Kit Rename the new Symphony Link network you created in Step 4. Click on the name of the new network in the Networks section of your Conductor account. The Network pop-up window appears. Symphony Link Development Kit...
Page 21 Symphony Link Development Kit Rename the network by entering "A simple network" (or whatever you would like to call it) into the NAME field of the pop-up window. Click outside the pop-up window to exit it. The new name updates to the list of networks. (You may need to refresh your browser.)

Page 23 Symphony Link Development Kit When installation is finished, launch the Prelude application. Symphony Link Development Kit Page 23...
Page 24 Connect the evaluation board to a PC using a mini-USB cable. Once connected, a red LED on the evaluation board lights up. This LED lights up anytime the Symphony Link Module has set one or more interrupt request flags. (In this case, the LED indicates a RESET event has occurred because you just supplied power to the board.)
Page 25 Symphony Link Development Kit From the Select Port dropdown of Prelude's Connection group box, select the COM port associated with the evaluation board. Click Attach. Prelude's Status groupbox will begin to update with the module's parameters. Symphony Link Development Kit...
