- Plug-and-communicate (default mode - no configuration required).
- True peer-to-peer network (no need to configure a "Master" radio).
- Transparent mode supports existing software applications and legacy systems.
- Addressing capabilities provide for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint networks.
- Uses Standard AT commands and/or fast binary commands for changing parameters.
- Native RS485/422 (multi-drop bus) protocol support.
- Retry and acknowledgements of packets provides guaranteed delivery of critical packets in difficult environments.
- Networking features allow up to 7 independent pairs (networks) to operate in close proximity.
- Multiple low power modes including shutdown pin, cyclic sleep and serial port sleep for current consumption as low as 20 µA.
- Host interface baud rates from 1200 to 57600 bps.
- Signal strength register for link quality monitoring and debugging.
- Parity support (None, Even, Odd, Mark, Space)
- 9-bit support
This 22-guage wire antenna comes in 3" length for 900 MHz modules and provides sufficient range for testing and many short range applications. Customers report enjoying the ease-of-concealment and performance of this free feature.
Alternatively, you can order your wireless modules with an RPSMA connector (required by the FCC for customers using SMA-type connectors).
