RS‐232/485 RF Modem Product Manual – MAN0782‐02
1. Horner RS‐232/485 RF Modem
Features
Long Range Performance
Advanced Networking & Security
Worldwide Acceptance
The RS-232/485 RF Modem (900 MHz) is our longest range drop-in
wireless solution. Out-of-box, the modem is equipped to sustain long
range wireless links between devices. Simply enter serial data into one
modem and the data surfaces on the other side of the wireless link.
The modem transfers a standard asynchronous serial data stream
between two or more modems. Its built-in RS-232, RS-485 and RS-422
interfacing allows for rapid integration into existing data systems.
