Page 13: Rf Modem Operation
(Low‐asserted signals distinguished with a horizontal line over signal name.) 3.1.2. Serial Data Data enters the MaxStream RF modem 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 14: 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 3‐04. Transmission of data © 2007 MaxStream, Inc. 13...
Page 15: 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. 14...
Page 16: Sleep Modes
When the modem awakens to listen for data, CTS is asserted and any data received on the DI Pin is transmitted. The PWR pin is also de-asserted (low) when the modem is in Cyclic Sleep Mode. These pins are asserted each time the modem cycles © 2007 MaxStream, Inc. 15...
Page 17 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 3‐06. 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. 16...

• 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 &...

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.
