Wireless (RF) link between GCS and X100

What
You can program, monitor and control the X100 with the GCS. The GCS and X100 autopilot
use a wireless (RF) link (2.4 GHz ISM band) to communicate with each other.
Hardware
This wireless link can only be established when the following hardware is present:
● GCS with modem connected
● eBox with built-in modem
Power sequence
When establishing a wireless link, it is important that the modem is connected to the GCS
before a charged battery is mounted in the X100.
Pairing
A modem is by default not uniquely paired with a specific eBox. Therefore it is not possible to
use more than one modem/eBox pair at the same time as this would cause serious interfer-
ence in the communication between GCS and eBox.
Upon specific request, Gatewing can provide uniquely paired modem/eBox combinations.
