The HN-210 and HN-210X are NEMA 4X weatherproof versions of the HopNet product line. The HN-214, which is an HN-210 with a 4 ft. cable, is also available. The interface to the 210 and 210X allows the Host to communicate with the Remote unit through an integrated 50 ft (15 meter) cable.
The HopNet Configuration Wizard is located on the software and documentation CD included in the HN-210 package. Install the program by inserting the CD in the PC and following the installation wizard. If Autorun has been turned off, double-click on setup.exe on the CD to start the wizard.
When using HN-210s, one unit, and only one, must be set as the base. All other HN- 210s must be set as remotes. With an HN-210 connected to the PC, start the HopNet Configuration Wizard program by double-clicking on the icon on the desktop. The HopNet Configuration Wizard will automatically detect which serial port the HN-210 is connected to and the baud rate of the HN-210.
