Description The MDR210A-485 uses an embedded 100-milliwatt, frequency-hopping wireless modem that provides communication between a local RS485 network and a remote network of RS485 connected devices. The MDR210A-485 will automatically sense the direction of data flow and switch the RS485 and Radio devices accordingly. The MDR210A-485 can be placed in a network of RS485 devices and appear as a slave repeater of remote RS485 devices or it can be placed in a network of one or many RS485

9XSTREAM-192/96 Radio Introduction The 9XSTREAM-192/96 radio is a 100-milliwatt frequency hopping wireless modem that communicates with other equipment using a standard 19200 or 9600-baud asynchronous serial data stream. The radio is half-duplex and can sustain a continuous data stream at the specified data rate. The 9XSTREAM operates within the 900 MHz ISM Band under Part 15 of the FCC Rules and Regulations. IMPORTANT: The 9XSTREAM radio has been certified as a module by the FCC

hop in a different sequence) the two modules will jump to separate channels on the next hop. Using networks, multiple module pairs can operate in the same vicinity with minimal interference from each other. The network parameter is user-definable using the MDR210A-485 Set-up Hop Table. Module Address Module Addresses provide another level of addressing among the MDR210A-485 modules. Each module in a network can be configured with a 16-bit Module Address to establish selective

Figure 2a – Generation of Data Packets Data Validity (Cont.) Header Data from Buffer Data CRC No Data To Idle Mode Figure 2b – Transmit Mode Description To verify data integrity, a 16-bit cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is computed for the transmitted data and attached to the end of each data packet before transmission. The receiver will then compute the

Data Packets – A grouping of data to be sent over-the-air. Each data packet contains a header and data that is collected from the data buffer. The size of the packets varies up to 64 bytes depending on how many bytes of data are in the data buffer. Glossary (cont.) Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) – Method employed by the MDR210A- 485 module which involves transmitting data over several different channels in a specific channel hopping sequence known by the transmitter and

Application Notes Why does Sensitivity Matter? Receiver sensitivity is the lowest power level at which the receiver can detect a wave and demodulate data. Sensitivity is purely a receiver specification and is independent of the transmitter. As the wave propagates away from the transmitter, it attenuates as the distance increases. Lowering the sensitivity on the receiver (making it more negative) will allow the radio to detect weaker signals, and thus increase the transmissi
