 Precautions
In order to ensure the correct and best use of this product, before operation, please
read this manual carefully and follow the relevant procedures and precautions for fear
of damage to the device or poor performance due to misoperation or improper use.
The operator should have some basic knowledge on communication electronics.
When installing and using this product, please pay attention to the followings.

Installation precautions:

1. Before the XK-F304E device is powered on, loads such as an antenna or an

attenuator must be installed to the antenna interface, otherwise the power
amplifier module inside the device will be damaged.
2. When replacing the antenna, the power must be cut off first, otherwise the power
amplifier module inside the device will be damaged.
3. The antenna connection matching the device frequency should be selected,
otherwise the power amplifier module inside the device may be damaged.
4. Please use DC power supply of dc12v ~ dc30v to supply power to the device,
otherwise the circuit may be damaged or the device may work abnormally.
5. The antenna of the device should be exposed in the air as far as possible and
obstacles should be avoided in order to prevent shortened communication
distance.

6. The antenna should be installed as far away from large metal parts as possible.
7. The device should be kept a certain distance from other electronic device as far as
possible to reduce electromagnetic interference between devices.

Operation precautions:
1. Make sure that all interfaces of the device are correctly connected and tightened
with intact wiring.
2. After power on, wireless data transmission can be realized in about 20 seconds.
3. High-power co-frequency interference in the surroundings will lead to the normal
communication of the device. The problem can be solved by changing the
working frequency of the device or cutting off the co-frequency interference
source.
4. The IP network segment of the computer should be consistent with that of the
device, otherwise the configured software will not be opened normally.
5. During the connection test, a distance of over 3m between the devices should be
kept in order to avoid power saturation and may damage to the RF devices.

The parameter setting page can be shown by entering Account: "admin" and Password:
"admin". Chinese / English pages are supported.

6.2. "Wireless Parameter Setting" interface

The central node parameter setting involves master-slave setting, frequency range setting,
frequency hopping setting, power setting, bandwidth setting, uplink / downlink setting,
networking mode and encryption setting.

Fig. 6.2.2 "Wireless Parameter Setting" interface (slave)

a) Master-slave setting
The "Central Node" and "Access Node" can be set. More than two devices are
required to form a successful link, and there can only be one central node.
b) Frequency hopping setting
Frequency hopping: When setting the frequency hopping, the frequency point of
the device changes automatically.
Frequency fixing: the frequency points in the list can be set manually. For
example, 1.4G frequency range includes the following frequency points:

c) Power setting
Setting range: 0~37dBm
d) Bandwidth setting

 Shenzhen Xingkai Tech Co., Ltd.

Fig. 6.2.4 Dropdown option of "Bandwidth Setting"

The bandwidth settings are: 1.4Mhz, 3MHz, 5MHz, 10MHz, 20MHz.
The wider the bandwidth is, the higher the transmission rate / the shorter the
transmission distance will become; The farther the transmission distance is, the
lower the transmission rate will become.
e) Uplink / downlink setting

Fig. 6.2.5 Dropdown option of "Uplink / Downlink Setting"

The uplink / downlink settings are: config0, config1, config2, config3.
When the time slot ratio is set under different bandwidths, the quality of the
transmitted image will change, so an appropriate time slot ratio is needed. The
UL rate is the speed of the access node sent to the central node. The DL rate is
the speed of the central node sent to the access node, which is similar to the 4G
base station mode, i.e. the center node is the base station, and the access node
is the transmission of the mobile terminal.
The set parameters are shown in Fig. 6.2.6:

Fig. 6.4.1 "Signal strength and network setting" interface

a) Signal strength and network setting

The list on the left shows the networking information of the device:

All access nodes in the network can be observed after entering the central node
network configuration page, while on the access node network configuration
interface, only the central node can be observed.

Signal strength: indicating the wireless signal strength of the equipment. The
signal strength "-141 ~ -44" is from weak to strong in turn. The higher the SNR is,
the better the quality of the wireless signal is.

b) Network parameter setting

The local IP indicates the IP address of the device. The IP destination should be
set as follows:

Point-to-point: the IP destination address of the central node should be set with
the IP address of the access node with which the network is established, and the
IP destination address of the access node should also be set with the IP address
of the central node with which the network is established.

Point-to-multipoint: the IP destination of the central node can be set with the IP
address of any slave node with which the network is established, however all
access nodes should be set with the IP address of the central node (set flexibly
according to the actual application. The destination address of this device is the
IP address of this device transmitted from the serial port to another device. The
two terminal devices are specified to form the serial port link).

Note: all networking devices should be kept within the same network segment!

Fig. 7.1.2 PC IP address setting

The PC IP address network segment should be consistent with that of the network camera!
The IP address should not change, otherwise a connection failure will be caused.

7.2 Network camera setting

First, log in to network camera page to learn how to set the IP address parameters of the
network camera. The parameter selection of different types of webcam is a little different.
The setting is shown below:

14
 Shenzhen Xingkai Tech Co., Ltd.

Fig. 7.2 Network setting of network camera

The network segment of the camera should be the same as that of the PC IP address. For
example, the above configuration is 192.168.0.X, however the two IP addresses cannot
be the same, otherwise a failure will be caused.

7.3 Network decoding

Enter the IP address of the camera in the browser player to observe the decoding effect.
Other decoding software can also be used, enter the rtsp streaming address and port
number.
