Basic Software Setup

The Universal Software Radio Peripheral (USRP™) is compatible with the USRP hardware driver (UHD) software serves as the foundation for many applications and frameworks. UHD is open source, and can be downloaded and installed with source or binaries. For instructions on how to setup UHD in Linux, Windows or MacOS, and use third-part software please visit: http://uhd.ettus.com

Basic Connectivity

This USRP X300/X310 supports multiple, high-speed, low-latency interface options. This kit includes all of the components necessary to communicate with the device through a 1 Gigabit Ethernet interface. To setup the device, follow these basic instructions:

• Configure the host Ethernet adapter to use an IP address of "192.168.10.1" and a subnet mask of "255.255.255.0".
• Slide the SFP Adapter into the SFP "Port 0".
• Using the supplied Ethernet cable, connect the adapter to a host computer.
• The Green Led above SFP "Port 0" should illuminate.
• To test communications, ping the USRP device at address "192.168.10.2"

Upgrade to 10 Gigabit Ethernet or PCI-Express

The USRP X300/X310 also supports 10 Gigabit Ethernet and PCI-Express. To use these interfaces, we recommend our high-speed interface kits. For more information about these interface kits, please visit: http://interfaces.ettus.com

Assembly

The USRP X300/X310 and compatible RF daughterboards are shipped separately. To operate the device you will need to install the RF daughterboards and supplied bulkhead cables. This can be accomplished by removing the top plate of the USRP X300/X310, which is secured with two screws. After installation, the daughterboards and cables should be secured with the hardware provided. The device must be powered off when installing daughterboards to avoid potential damage.

Proper Care and Handling

All Ettus Research products are individually tested before shipment. The USRP motherboard and daughterboards are guaranteed to be functional at the time they are received by the customer. Improper use or handling of the USRP hardware can easily cause damage and may not be covered by warranty.
