Page 3: -Introduction
RadioAdapter features IEEE 802.15.4 standard functions and runs on ISM frequency band at 2.4GHz. Thanks to MESH networking technology and associated dynamic routing combined with RadioAdapter capabilities to act as a repeater for adjacent nodes, large surface areas can be covered, getting around blocked paths to send or receive messages and continuous function guaranteed even when one or more nodes breaks down. -

2 - INSTALLATION The RadioAdapter device can function as part of the network, as a PAN-C, as a NODE or a repeater. The RadioAdapter should therefore be configured accordingly when it is actually inserted into the network. The communication network consists of: - A RadioAdapter configured as PAN-C and connected to a monitoring system (Televis or Modbus) - A RadioKey device to identify and configure the network. -
