XCite Module pins. The XCite Module then converts the data into FCC-approved RF data. Once transmitted, the RF data can be detected by receiving XCite Modules, checked for integrity and then sent to a receiving device. Figure 2‐02. Data Flow in RS‐232 and RS‐485/422 environments.

Page 10: Serial Data
9XCite™ OEM RF Module – Product Manual v2.1 [2007.01.04] 2.1.3. Serial Data Data enters the MaxStream RF module through the DI Pin 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.
Page 11: Modes Of Operation
After the channel is initialized, data in the DI buffer is grouped into packets (up to 64 bytes in each packet) and is transmitted. The modem continues to transmit data packets until the DI buffer is empty. Once transmission is finished, the modem returns to Idle Mode. This progression is shown below: Figure 2‐05. Transmission of data © 2007 MaxStream, Inc. 10...
Page 12: Receive Mode
If serial data-to-transmit is stored in the DI buffer while the modem is giving precedence to Receive Mode, the data will be transmitted after the modem finishes receiving data and returns to Idle Mode. © 2007 MaxStream, Inc. 11...
Page 13: Sleep Modes
Mode. The return into Idle Mode is triggered by the de-assertion of the Sleep pin or the arrival of a serial byte through Data In pin. The following table lists MaxStream's Sleep Mode configurations and the requirements needed to transition into and out of Sleep Mode: Table 2‐01.
Page 14 The cyclic interval time defined by the SM (Sleep Mode) command must be shorter than the interval time defined by LH (Wake-up Initializer Timer) command. Figure 2‐07. Correct Configuration (LH > SM): The length of the wake‐up initializer exceeds the time interval of Cyclic Sleep. The receiver is guaranteed to detect the wake‐up initializer and receive the accompanying payload data. © 2007 MaxStream, Inc. 13...

• 900 MHz, 38400 Baud, Single Channel mode XCite Modems can operate in both Single Channel and Hopping modes. Mode is selectable using the "Function Set" dropdown list of the "XCite Configuration" tab of the MaxStream-provided X- CTU Software. The XCite Module is shipped with a unique parameter set in its memory. Parameters within the set are organized under the following categories: AT Commands &...

A shortcut for editing PC Setting values is available by clicking on any of the values. Installation Double-click the "setup_X-CTU.exe" file and follow prompts of the installation screens. This file is located in the 'software' folder of the MaxStream CD and also under the 'Downloads' section of the following web page: www.maxstream.net/support/downloads.php Setup To use the X-CTU software, a module assembly (An RF module mounted to an interface Board) must be connected to a serial port of a PC.

Page 26 Figure 3‐02. Incorrect Configuration (LH < SM) The length of the wake-up initializer is shorter than the time interval of Cyclic Sleep.

Only modems with matching VIDs can communicate with each other. VID addressing ensures that radio modems ignore transmissions and receptions of XCite Radio Modems having a different VID in the same vicinity. To request a unique VID, contact MaxStream to obtain the VID Request Form.
