Datasheet

• Connects a SureCross Gateway or MultiHop Radio to a Windows PC
USB port

• Cable BWA-HW-006 supplies power for one DX80 Gateway or one
MultiHop Radio operating at 250 mW

• Cable BWA-UCT-900 supplies power for one DX80 Gateway or one
MultiHop Radio operating at 1 Watt

• Supports baud rates of 9600, 19200, and 38400

• Converts USB to RS-485 (2-wire) with a Euro-style connector

• Supports Windows XP and Vista

The BWA-UCT-900 is shown.

Do not use BWA-HW-006 to connect a Performance Gateway or MultiHop Radio operating in 1 Watt mode. Always
configure the Performance and MultiHop models to operate in 250 mW mode before connecting them to your computer to
avoid damaging your USB port.

To supply power to 1 Watt radios during configuration, use cable BWA-UCT-900.
When plugging this cable into your computer for the first time, give the cable 1 to 2 minutes to check your computer for

the proper driver, download the driver, then install it. Plug the cable into your Gateway; the cable should supply enough
power to the Gateway to configure it.

• Download the User Configuration Tool or MultiHop Configuration Tool
software free from Banner Engineering's Wireless I/O Products website
