... Reliable communication up to 115.2Kbps 1.1 Overview The CL4424 uses Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum modulation, where the units “hop” from frequency to frequency many times per second using a specific hop pattern applied to all the transceivers in the same network. A distinct hopping pattern is provided for each Channel Number, thereby allowing multiple networks to co-exist in the same area without interference ...

... CL4424 User’s Manual 2. Interfacing Protocol The CL4424 is a DCE (Data Communications Equipment). A DCE can be interfaced to a DTE using a straight through serial cable (the serial cable provided with the CL4424 is a straight through cable). Typically, PC’s are defined as a DTE and peripherals are defined as DCE. To interface a DCE with another DCE DTE with another DTE, a null modem (or a Crossover) cable is required ...

... CL4424 User’s Manual 2.1 RS-232 RS-232 is a single ended data transmission protocol. The RS-232 signals are represented by voltage levels with respect to a system common (power / logic ground). The "idle" state (MARK) has the signal level negative with respect to common, and the "active" state (SPACE) has the signal level positive with respect to common ...

... The nodes will have unique addresses and can send addressed packets to specific nodes. Because the bus is half duplex, no two nodes should try to talk at the same time. The CL4424 does not have a RS-485 address, therefore, it will transmit all RS-485 traffic over the RF. Conversely, as soon as a CL4424 receives a packet over the RF, it will transmit the packet over the RS-485 bus ...

... Hardware Flow Control Often, the host device can send data to the CL4424 faster than it can be sent over the RF. The CL4424 has a 256 byte buffer to store data before sending it over the RF. If the host device is sending data faster than the CL4424 can send it out, eventually, the buffer will fill up. If the host device continues to send data while the CL4424 buffer is full, that data will be discarded ...

... The CL4424s support a Point-to-Point and a Point-to-Multipoint network topology. 3.1 Point-to-Point A point-to-point system is a simple arrangement consisting of just two CL4424s - a Server and a Client. Sometimes referred wireless bridge, a point-to-point link replaces a single communications cable. A point-to-point link might be used to connect a PLC to a remote monitoring station ...
