    SATELLINE-EASy / -EASy 869 / SATEL Compact-Proof / SATEL EASy-Proof User Guide, Version 10.1 6.5 Serial data format The serial interface uses an asynchronous data format. Any character to be transmitted on the serial line contains a start bit, the data bits (7, 8 or 9 bits), an optional parity bit and one or two stop bits. Data bits are transmitted with the least significant bit first, the most significant bit last.

An increase in the Pause length increases the round trip delay of the radio link correspondingly; this is due to the fact that the radio channel is occupied for the time of the Pause length after each transmission (the time it takes to detect a pause).

In large systems, with several repeaters and formed repeater chains, it is often practical to use routing instead of plain addresses.
