Setting The Acquisition Code - Wi-LAN Hopper Plus 120-24 Installation And Configuration Manual

Setting the Acquisition Code

An acquisition code is a unique code contained within the preamble of a transmitted message. Units search
the air for messages that begin with a particular acquisition code. Messages without the correct code are
treated as interference and are rejected by a unit. Messages with the correct code are accepted and
processed. Acquisition codes serve to isolate units from each other, especially when several units operate in
close proximity or at the same frequency in a multiple-sector or multi-cell environment. All units in the same
network must have the same acquisition code in order to communicate with each other.
