FreeWave Technologies User Manual Addendum 421-512 MHz Transceiver V1.0 LAD0014AA Rev A 1 of 11 FreeWave Technologies Inc. 421-512 MHz User Manual Addendum The FreeWave Technologies LRS Family 421-512 MHz Licensed Radios operate in substantially the same manner as the 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz transceivers. The model numbers; 400LRS-CSU and 400LRS-RC can be used in point to point and multipoint modes, with essentially the same parameter options. UL approval for the 400LRS-CSU is not currently available. Quick Start on a Point-to-Multipoint System The following is a quick start guide for setting up two transceivers in Point-to- Multipoint mode. This mode allows for a Master to communicate with several Slaves simultaneously. In addition to the Quick Start Guide, detailed instructions on how to set up the frequency and min and max packet sizes are also provided. NOTE: The following is a step by step procedure for radio setup through HyperTerminal. NOTE: The device will be capable of programming through EZConfig at a later date. When using EZConfig, please reference the tables in this procedure for proper radio configuration. 1. Connect the transceiver to the serial port of a computer either through a data cable (9 pin serial) or via the diagnostics cable. 2. Open up a HyperTerminal session. • Use the following settings in connecting with HyperTerminal • Connect to COMx (the COM port to which the cable is connected) • Set; Bits per second to 19200, Data bits- 8, Parity- None, Stop bits- 1, Flow control- None. 3. Press the setup button next to the serial port on the radio. If the diagnostics cable is being used, press Shift-U (capital U). • The three LED’s on the radio will turn green, indicating Setup mode. • The main menu will appear on the screen. 4. Press 0 to enter the Operation Mode menu. • Press 2 to set the radio as a point to Multipoint Master. • Press 3 to set the radio as a point to Multipoint Slave. • Press Esc to return to the main menu. 5. Press 1 in the main menu to enter the Baud Rate menu. • The baud rate in setup mode will be defaulted at 19200. FreeWave Technologies User Manual Addendum 421-512 MHz Transceiver V1.0 LAD0014AA Rev A 2 of 11 • The baud rate of the radio must match the baud rate of the device to which the radio is attached. • Press Esc to return to the main menu. 6. Press 3 in the main menu to enter the Radio Characteristics menu. • The following settings must be the same on all radios throughout the network. • FreqKey- This setting is discussed later in this manual. • Max Packet Size-This setting is discussed later in this manual. • Min Packet Size- This setting is discussed later in this manual. • RF Data Rate - The LRS Licensed Radio can be configured to operate at one of two available throughputs. To adjust this setting, press 4, RF Data Rate. (Available settings are 2 or 3.) • For Maximum Throughput of 9.6 Kbps at 2 Level GFSK, RF Data Rate= 3. • For Maximum Throughput of 19.2 Kbps at 4 Level GFSK, RF Data Rate=2. 7. At the Main Menu, press 5. • Number Repeaters should be set to 0. • Set the Network ID value to any value between 1 and 4095, except 255. • Make sure this value is the same on every radio in the network. Operation in Single Frequency Mode Note: It is imperative that all transceivers used in a network are set to identical frequency parameters. Press 3 in the main menu to enter the Radio Characteristics menu as shown below: Fig. 1 FreeWave Technologies User Manual Addendum 421-512 MHz Transceiver V1.0 LAD0014AA Rev A 3 of 11 Editing the Hop Table Enter 0 in the Radio Parameters section of the menu, corresponding to FreqKey. Next, enter F for more options. 1. Enter 0 to edit Hop Table. 2. Choose the Hop Table entry to edit (0-63) and press Enter. The Hop Table entry is the number in the Table for the displayed Channel Number that represents the frequency being edited. 3. Choose the desired frequency from the Frequency Table, and then enter the Channel Number associated with that frequency. NOTE: For a list of available frequencies and channel numbers at 12.5 kHz spacing, see the Frequency Table at the end of the manual. This table shows frequencies at 125kHz spacing. If the frequency needed is not shown, use the following formula to calculate the proper Channel Number: Ftune = Tuning frequency in MHz Channel Number = (Ftune – 390) / .00625 * *For more information, see the Errata sheet at the end of the document. Programming Single Frequency Mode In this example, the radio is programmed to transmit and receive at a Frequency of 421.000MHz This is understood because the Single Channel being used is 0. Channel 0 has a value of 4960. 4960 = 421.000MHz. Fig 2. FreeWave Technologies User Manual Addendum 421-512 MHz Transceiver V1.0 LAD0014AA Rev A 4 of 11 The LRS Series of radios are single frequency devices. Meaning they are designed to operate on only one channel per network. The device default is single frequency mode. This is displayed as seen in Fig. 2. While still in the “More Options” section of the FreqKey menu: 1. Enter 1 to program the transceiver to operate on a single frequency. 2. When prompted enter the number of the frequency to be used: Enter New Frequency Channel (0-63). 3. Once the single frequency has been entered it will appear at the bottom of the table as the Single Channel being used. In addition, the FreqKey in the Radio Parameters menu will now be programmed as Single Channel. Refer to Fig. 2. Min/Max Packet Sizes Min/Max Packet Sizes allow the user to designate the size in bytes of the packets used by the transceiver in its communication link. This may be of particular value when using FreeWave with different communications software packages. In addition, packet sizes should be changed for every network, especially when overlapping or adjacent networks are installed. The combination of Max and Min Packet Size settings determines the allocation of the communication link from the Master to the Slave and vice versa. With a given Max Pa…

TUNEUP PROCEDURE The model 400LRS transceiver requires no manual tuning. All parameters are factory set and controlled by a microprocessor.

The RF Exposure calculations are based on manufacturer specification that minimum distance from the antenna to operator (user) is 1m. The RF Exposure can be calculated according to equation from OET Bulletin 65, Edition 97-01: S = PG/4*pi*R 2, Where: S is Limits for Maximum Permissive Exposure (MPE) (mW/cm 2), P is Maximum Peak Power to Antenna (mW), G is Antenna Gain (numerical gain), R is Distance to the antenna radiation center (cm), must be below 20cm (FCC 2.1093) S = (F/1500)mW/cm 2 according to FCC 1.1310, where F (in MHz) from 300 to 1500MHz S = 421/1500 = 0.28 mW/cm 2 P = 37dBm = 5000mW, G = 7.1 dB (numerical gain) R is calculated and = 1m
