Remove the microSDXC card from the case and insert it in the sd card slot, which is under the rubber cover on the side of the case closest to the the labeled GPS SMA connector. Connect a USB-C cable to the port labeled "DEVICE" and the other end to your host computer. Connect the barrel end of the power supply to the power connector on the Oxygen SDR, which is located under a rubber cover between the power button and the LED power indicator. Plug the power adapter in. The LED indicator will appear as an orange light. Press and hold the power button for 5 seconds to power up the Oxygen SDR. The LED indicator light will change to green when the system is turned on and operating. Your host computer should display a new Ethernet interface in 1-2 minutes.

on the command line in the terminal window which was used to log into the Oxygen SDR. The first time this command is run it may take a few minutes for GNU Radio Companion to start. The GNU Radio blocks for controlling the Oxygen SDR are in the block section "RWT". For first time testing use the blocks "RWT Sink" and "RWT Source" to control the Oxygen SDR. In order to receive or transmit, an antenna will need to be connected to the correct ports of the radio covering the desired band of operation. For users who are not experienced with GNU Radio, RWT recommends completing the GNU Radio tutorials at [[https://wiki.gnuradio.org/index.php/Tutorials]]. | on the command line in the terminal window which was used to log into the Oxygen SDR.

The RWT Oxygen has more advanced capabilities, including the ability to reload the FPGA while running, the ability to custom build a Linux OS, and the ability to operate in a network attached mode using IIO controls. The radio can be used with GR-IIO.
