DX80 Gateway Installation & Operation Manual
The gateway and endpoint nodes communicate over multiple wireless channels within the 902-928MHz
ISM Spectrum. Different configurations of internal & external antennas and different RF power options
allow you to customize the wireless range from a few feet to > 10000'. The implementation of FHSS
methodology allows for reliable communications even in harsh industrial environments. The gateway
station and endpoint nodes communicate with acknowledge handshaking to verify reception of data. Error
checking is also performed to validate the data transmission.
The Gateway and Endpoint node communications always collect signal strength information. The
collected data can help gauge the strength and performance of the wireless signals. The received signal
strength can be adjusted by various parameters such as the TX power settings and Receiver Sensitivity
Modes. Hardware configurations can also impact the signal strength, such as internal / external antenna and
antenna placement.
