RAD-I/O Sample Interface Downloads
Because the RAD-I/O product can display anything that a computer screen can display, any
number of products can be used to create the computer programs that will function with the
RAD-I/O.
Utilizing some of these products, RedRadio has developed a few sample interfaces that showcase
just some generic functionality. These are meant to be starting points for developers
looking to create their own interfaces, not as a showcase of everything that can be done.
Indeed, you are only limited by your own creativity.
None of these interfaces actually control anything. To do that, it would require a link between
the interface and some sort of control software. Software such as Motorola's Premise Home Control
Software (http://www.premisesystems.com/)
or the HAI OmniLT interface module () provides the ability to link it to external programs such
as these.

RAD-I/O Wiring Requirements
The RAD-I/O product uses 3 of 4 pairs of twisted-pair CAT-5 cable homerun (e.g. going from the video card's
RJ-12 connectors to each of the LCD keypads).
In general, ANY cable as long as it is twisted pair and is 100-Ohms impedance should work as long
as it can in some way be connected to an RJ-12 connector. Usually the rule of thumb is that if an
ethernet signal can be run over the wires, then the RAD-I/O will work too, though distances may vary
depending on the gauge of the wire. Standard CAT-5 cable is usually around 24 gauge US. We have
tested this gauge up to 340 ft. The larger the gauge number (i.e. 32 gauge), the less distance you
will be able to go with it.
