Page 9: Serial Data
XCite™ OEM RF Module – Product Manual v1.1 Serial Data Data enters the MaxStream OEM RF Module through the DI Pin (pin 4) as an asynchronous serial signal. The signal should idle high when no data is being transmitted. The UART performs tasks (such as timing and parity checking) needed for communication. Serial communication consists of two UARTs which must be configured with compatible parameters (Baud rate, parity, start bits, stop bits, data bits) to have successful communication. -

RS-232/485 interfacing) to facilitate the connection between XCite OEM RF Modules and serial devices. Many integrators develop their own interfacing circuitry; others use MaxStream’s Interface Boards. In either case, the following sections illustrate how to interface with XCite OEM RF Modules by illustrating properties of the MaxStream XIB-R Interface Board. -
