you need the tool X-CTU

setup one as PANID=123, MY=1, DL=2, DH=0, Channel=C

and the other as: PANID=123, MY=2, DL=1, DH=0, Channel=C

then connect both modules to some PC start a terminal on each and try if you can see characters typed on one pc on the other.

If that works, you can proceed and try to connect them to the FC or NC (no configuration necessary on the NC or FC)

you should test them standalone first (without the FC / NC).

BTW: I have constructed an "mobile mk-tool" and I use it with similar adapters. (see picture)
