Getting started with WAVFR

Connect WAVFR to system

WAVFR must be connected to A RAKO Wired System. The simplest method is by connecting the RJ11
patch lead from the WAVFR to one of the RJ11 sockets on a system RAK-Link or RAK-Star. The RJ11
patch lead may also be plugged into a WA-Con access point.

If the WAVFR cannot be mounted near to a RAK-Link etc then the connection may be made by CAT5
cable to the Punch Down Daughterboard. The normal rules apply for terminations when connecting
the CAT5 cable in this way, as on a Wired Wallplate.

In Figure 2 above:
WAVFR 1 is connected using Punch Down Daughterboard. It is at the end of the CAT5 cable so the
Term Jumper is set on its daughterboard.
WAVFR 2 is connected using Punch Down Daughterboard. It is in middle of the CAT5 cable so No
jumpers are set on its daughterboard.
WAVFR 3 is connected directly to a RAK-Link using RJ11 Patch Lead. The Daughterboard is unused
and No jumpers should be set on that daughterboard.
