Rev: 0.1 Date:23. FCC INFORMATION This equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instruction manual, may cause harmful interference to radio communication. Operation of this equipment in a residential area is likely to cause harmful interference in witch case the user will be required to correct the interference at his own expense.
Rev: 0.1 Date:23. USERS MANUAL OF THE END PRODUCT In the users manual of the end product, the end user has to be informed to keep at least 20cm separation with the antenna while this end product is installed and operated. The end user has to be informed that the FCC radio-frequency exposure guidelines for an uncontrolled environment can be satisfied.
Rev: 0.1 1 Date:23. GENERAL INFORMATION The AMWZ5168-AL module is a range of ultra low power, high performance surface mount modules targeted at IEEE 802.15.4, JenNet-IP, ZigBee Light Link, ZigBee Smart Energy and RF4CE networking applications, enabling users to realise products with minimum time to market and at the lowest cost. They remove the need for expensive and lengthy development of custom RF board designs and test suites.

Rev: 0.1 4 Date:23. INSTALLING CDM DRIVERS This user manual provides guidance on installing and setting up the tool on PC. CDM driver provides access to both virtual COM port (VCP) and FTDI’s proprietary “direct” (D2XX) interfaces, it should install before connect a PC to main board using a USB-to-serial cable. Hyper terminal access the new connection between PC and AMWZ5168 module and is used for selecting appropriate operation mode for AMWZ5168 module on PC screen. 4.
Rev: 0.1 Date:23. Figure 2.1 Select "Install from a list or specific location (Advanced)" as shown in Figure 2.2 below and then click “Next”. Figure 2.2 Copyright © 2013 Aptos Technology Inc.
Rev: 0.1 Date:23. Select "Search for the best driver in these locations" and enter the file path in the combo-box ("C:\CDM 2.02.04" in Figure 2.3 below) or browse to it by clicking the browse button. Once the file path has been entered in the box, click next to proceed. Figure 2.3 If Windows XP is configured to warn when unsigned (non-WHQL certified) drivers are about to be installed, the message dialogue shown in Figure 2.4 will be displayed unless installing a Microsoft WHQL certified driver.
Rev: 0.1 Date:23. Figure 2.4 The screen shown in Figure 2.5 will be displayed as Windows XP copies the required driver files. Windows should then display a message indicating that the installation was successful. Click "Finish" to complete the installation for the first port of the device. Figure 2.5 Copyright © 2013 Aptos Technology Inc.
Rev: 0.1 Date:23. If the device is based on the FT2232, the Found New Hardware Wizard will continue by installing the USB Serial Converter driver for the second port of the FT2232 device. The procedure for installing the second port is identical to that for installing the first port from the first screen of the Found New Hardware Wizard. This is done automatically if the driver is Microsoft WHQL certified.
Rev: 0.1 Date:23. Figure 2.7 Select "Search for the best driver in these locations" and enter the file path in the combo-box ("C:\CDM 2.02.04" in figure 2.8 below) or browse to it by clicking the browse button. Once the file path has been entered in the box, click next to proceed. Copyright © 2013 Aptos Technology Inc.
Rev: 0.1 Date:23. Figure 2.8 If Windows XP is configured to warn when unsigned (non-WHQL certified) drivers are about to be installed, the message dialogue shown in Figure 2.9 will be displayed unless installing a Microsoft WHQL certified driver. Click on "Continue Anyway" to continue with the installation. If Windows XP is configured to ignore file signature warnings, no message will appear. The screen will be displayed as Windows XP copies the required driver files.
Rev: 0.1 Date:23. Figure 2.9 If the device is based on the FT2232, the second port must also be installed. The procedure for installing the second port is identical to that for installing the first port from the first screen of the Found New Hardware Wizard for the USB Serial Port device. If the driver is Microsoft WHQL certified, this is done automatically. Open the Device Manager (located in "Control Panel\System" then select the "Hardware" tab and click "Device Manger") and select "View > Devices
Rev: 0.1 Date:23. Figure 2.10 In the case of the FT2232, port A of the FT2232 will be installed as COMX and port B will be installed as COMX+1 where COMX is the first available COM port number. Figure 2.11 Copyright © 2013 Aptos Technology Inc.
