• Protocols Supported:
  • "PBASIC"
    
    
• 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.
