ARX8-9600
ATX8-9600
The ARX8 and ATX8-9600 simplex wireless RS-232
modules feature transparent connectivity at 9600bps, 8,
N, 1. The RF communications protocol is taken care of
by the on-board microcontrollers and error checking is
automatically performed at the receiver end, allowing
only valid data to be output to the serial port. Communi-
cation status LED’s provide visual confirmation of data
being transmitted and received. Power is supplied via a
9V battery snap.
The ATX8-9600 includes a convenient jumper enabled
TEST LINK mode. When in this mode, a preset 8 byte
message will continuously be transmitted. Reception is
easily verified by the ARX8-9600 receiver’s communica-
tion LED. A link test may therefore be performed without
connecting the modules to any hosts.
The ATX8-9600 transmitter module implements clear to
send flow control (CTS) for use in applications that re-
quire more than 8 bytes of data is to be transmitted. Us-
ing the CTS flow control line, any amount of data may be
transmitted.
Features
The module’s serial ports are configured as DCE and re-
quire a “straight through” serial extension cable when
connecting the ATX8-9600 and ARX8-9600 modules to 9
pin serial port DTE hosts such as PC’s.

... Operation The ATX8-9600 automatically detects the start and end of a transmission. When transmitting, the amber LED of the ATX8 will be ON and the amber LED on the ARX8-9600 will be ON indicating reception of valid data. TEST Mode The ATX8-9600 includes a TEST mode jumper J1. For normal operation, the jumper is in position 1 & 2 and for TEST mode the jumper is in position 2 & ...
