Features & Benefits

Protocols Supported: "RM2000" Standard Features of the Ewave RF Modem family, which are: Common to All Modem Models: Ewave's RF10K DualDSP modem core FCC certified; no user license required. Full duplex, allowing simultaneous transmission and reception of data. Transparent, simple operation: Looks like a serial cable to your application. Dynamic packetization of data, providing low latency while maintaining high throughput. Commands may be sent on-the-fly (e.g., Transmit Power On/Off, Channel) or modem may be configured once and "locked" in the Data state for maximum transparency to your application. Integrated antenna. Operation from regulated 5V or unregulated ~7.2-10VDC (in which case the modem can supply 5V to another device); 3.3V also available. Non-volatile (EEPROM) storage of user parameters (e.g., Channel, Baud Rate). Status LEDs indicating Transmit and Receive Activity, Transmitter Power On/Off and Command/Data Mode. 9600 bps sustained data throughput (higher data rate available if transparent CRC generation and checking is disabled). Optional (Varies by Modem Model): 1, 5 or 40 user-selectable channels. Programmable baud rates, up to 38.4K. Transparent protection from errors and interference via 16-bit CRC (Cyclic Redundancy Code). Packetization configurable via software parameters: Maximum Packet-Size Threshold and Next-Byte Wait Time. High data reliability via transparent, automatic Retry/Acknowledge. Support for RS232 "Break" conditions and RTS/CTS control signals.
