The PingRX comes with connector cable that can be attached directly to the `TELEM2` port (DF13-6P) on an [mRo Pixhawk](../flight_controller/mro_pixhawk.md).
For other ports or boards, you will need to obtain your own cable.
The recommended port configuration for this receiver is:

### Port Configuration
The receivers are configured in the same way as any other [MAVLink Peripheral](../peripherals/mavlink_peripherals.md).
The only _specific_ setup is that the port baud rate must be set to 57600 and the a low-bandwidth profile (`MAV_X_MODE`).
The recommended configuration for most devices (unless they have device-specific configuration like PingRX) is to connect to `TELEM 2` and [set the parameters](../advanced_config/parameters.md) as shown:
Assuming you have connected the device to the TELEM2 port, [set the parameters](../advanced_config/parameters.md) as shown:
- [MAV_1_CONFIG](../advanced_config/parameter_reference.md#MAV_1_CONFIG) = TELEM 2
- [MAV_1_MODE](../advanced_config/parameter_reference.md#MAV_1_MODE) = Normal
- [MAV_1_RATE](../advanced_config/parameter_reference.md#MAV_1_RATE) = 0 (default sending rate for port).
- [MAV_1_FORWARD](../advanced_config/parameter_reference.md#MAV_1_FORWARD) = Enabled
| Parameter | Recommended Value |

| [MAV_X_CONFIG](../advanced_config/parameter_reference.md#MAV_1_CONFIG) | `TELEM 2` |
