Internal Radio – The internal Intuicom 900MHz spread spectrum data radio can be enabled
or disabled. If enabled, the user can configure and specify which channel to use. This radio
is fully compatible with Intuicom 1200 Data Link radios, as well as Intuicom Communicator
II radios. Contact Intuicom for assistance with custom radio configurations for backwards
compatibility to existing radio networks. When the radio is disabled (for example in the case
where only a third party external radio will be used) the radio is actually powered down to
conserve battery life.
The wireless configuration interface is designed to be identical to that of the Intuicom
1200 Data Link, where "channels" are configured with spread spectrum parameters
(Frequency Key, Network ID, Min/Max Packet Sizes, Repeaters) – and a specific
"channel" is selected. If these channels are configured identically to the configuration for
existing 1200 Data Link units, all that is required for communications is making sure
both devices have the same "channel" selected.
Each "Channel" represents a set of spread spectrum configuration parameters. For a
given remote unit to link and receive data, it must have a channel configuration that
matches the configuration of RTK Bridge's currently selected channel.
Channels Internal Radio "Channels" can be customized by selecting Option 2 from the
Main Configuration Menu.
Frequency Key (Freq Key) – a number between 0 and 14. Each number represents a
different pseudo-random frequency hopping pattern. For two radios to communicate,
they must have the same Frequency Key.
