The external power must supply a DC voltage between 5 and 12 V. The power supply currently shipped with MaxStream Development Kits is a suitable power supply for this option. XCite-PKG-U RF Modem automatically selects "self-powered mode" if power is available on the power connector when the RF modem is connected to USB.
USB has two types of devices: Those that supply drivers (a host, such as a PC); and those that require a driver (a client, such as a MaxStream USB RF Modem). When a USB client is plugged into a host, the host prompts for a driver. Once a driver is located, the host loads the driver on the first use of the USB client;...
The XCite-PKG-U USB RF Modem is most commonly used as an access point in a network of serial RF modems (such as MaxStream's RS-232/485 RF Modems). The XCite RF Modems support point- to-point, peer-to-peer, point-to-multipoint and multidrop network topologies. The section below illustrates a typical point-to-multipoint network application.
