    Additionally, the RF channels and Group IDs are adjustable, which is helpful to avoid interference encountered when two LRA-900-E networks are adjacent. The RF channels and the Group IDs can be configured in order to distinguish and control the different LRA-900-E networks.

  • Page 6: Vxcomm Technology

    As a result, a new technology, VxComm was developed to virtualize the RF Port of the LRA-900-E to become a COM Port on the PC and allow up to 256 COM Ports to be used on a central computer. The VxComm driver saves time when accessing LRA-900-E devices through the Ethernet without the need for reprogramming the COM Port software on the PC.
