CL4790 transceivers operate in a Masterless architecture. When a CL4790 has data to transmit, it will enter transmit mode and start transmitting a sync pulse intended for an individual radio or broadcast to all transceivers within the same network and range.

PC to your peripheral device, you’ll need to use a straight- through serial cable between the PC and the CL4790 and a null modem adapter, or cross-over cable, between the other CL4790 and the peripheral device.

The nodes 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 CL4790 does not have a RS485 address; therefore it transmits all RS485 traffic over the RF. Conversely, as soon as the CL4790 receives a packet over the RF, it transmits the packet over the RS485 bus.
(rather than over the air), one CL4790 cannot tell the other CL4790 to slow down or speed up. The CL4790 controls the Clear to Send (CTS) output to the OEM host. The state of the CTS pin is based on the amount of data in the interface buffer.
