     ease of installation and use – the p900 module uses a subset of standard AT style commands, very similar to those used by traditional telephone line modems.
  • Page 6: Output Power Level

    While the typical application for the p900 is to provide a short- to mid- range wireless communications link between DTEs, it can be adapted to almost any situation where an asynchronous serial interface is used and data intercommunication is required.
