Power input
The supply voltage range of SND2 is 7V~36V, 24V as default for 20W RF power.

Uart1 and uart2 port
Before shipment, the uart1 port can be assembled as TTL uart port, or RS232 uart port, or RS422 uart port according to customer's requirement. The uart2 port can be assembled as TTL uart port, or RS232 uart port according to customer's requirement. The TTL/RS232 uart port data bit is 8-bit, the stop bit is 1-bit, and there is no parity check bit. When the radio operates in configuration mode, the baud rate of uart1 is fixed at 9600. When operating in data transparent mode, the baud rate can be configured as 9600 / 19200 / 38400 / 57600 / 115200 / 230400 / 460800 / 921600. Suggest selecting a baud rate of 921600 when the RF bandwidth is 1MHz; When the RF bandwidth is 500kHz, select a baud rate of 460800; When the RF bandwidth is 250kHz, select a baud rate of 230400; When the RF bandwidth is 125kHz, select 115200 baud rate, so that the uart port baud rate matches the wireless throughput to avoid packet loss during uart port data transmission and reception. Uart1 ports are mainly used for radio parameter configuration and data transmission.
Uart2 is a transparent data serial port, and the default baud rate of Uart2 is the same as Uart1. When changing the baud rate of Uart1, Uart2 will also change accordingly.

M1 DIP switch
The DIP switch can control the working mode of the radio. As shown in the above figure, when the DIP switch is turned to "D", Uart1 operates in transparent mode. When the DIP switch is turned to "C", Uart1 operates in configuration mode. The configuration mode and transparent transmission mode are switched in real-time without the need to restart the system.

When SND2 is in configuration mode, Uart1 will only respond to configuration commands and will not transmit received serial data to the air interface, nor will it output data to the serial port when receiving signals from the air interface. In configuration mode, the serial port baud rate is fixed at 9600, with 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, and no parity check bits.

When SND2 is in transparent mode, Uart1 will configure parameters if it receives serial data as a configuration packet; If the received serial data is not a configuration packet, it will be transmitted to the air interface, and the signal received from the air interface will be ejected to the serial port.

In configuration mode, only local configuration parameters are supported, while in transparent transmission mode, both local and remote parameter configurations are supported.

Before shipment, the uart port can be assembled as TTL uart port, or RS232 uart port, or RS422 uart port according to customer’s requirement. The TTL/RS232 uart port data bit is 8-bit, the stop bit is 1-bit, and there is no parity check bit. When the radio operates in configuration mode, the baud rate is fixed at 9600. When operating in data transparent mode, the baud rate can be configured as 9600 / 19200 / 38400 / 57600 / 115200 / 230400 / 460800 / 921600.
