Overview; Performance Features - Microhard Systems Nano IP Series Operating Manual

1.0 Overview

The Nano IP Series is a high-performance wireless ethernet bridge and serial gateway. Alter-
nately, a Master Nano IP Series unit may be configured to operate as a wireless ethernet router
(and serial gateway).
When properly configured and installed, long range communications at very high speeds can be
achieved.
A BRIDGE separates
two network segments
The Nano IP Series operates within the 902-928MHz ISM frequency band, employing frequency
within the same logical
hopping spread spectrum (FHSS) and also, for 1.2Mbps operation, digital transmission service
network (subnet).
(DTS) technology.
They provide reliable wireless ethernet bridge functionality as well gateway service for asyn-
chronous data transfer between most equipment types which employ an RS232, RS422, or
RS485 interface.
The small size and superior performance of the Nano IP Series makes it ideal for many applica-

1.1 Performance Features

A SERIAL GATEWAY
allows asynchronous
Key performance features of the Nano IP Series include:
serial data to enter (as
through a gate) the
realm of IP
communications.
The serial data is
encapsulated within
UDP or TCP packets.
