ARX8-2400
ATX8-2400
The ARX8 and ATX8-2400 simplex wireless RS-232 subassem-
blies feature transparent connectivity at 2400bps, 8, N, 1. The RF
communications protocol is taken care of by the on-board micro-
controllers and error checking is automatically performed at the
receiver end, allowing only valid data to be output to the serial port.
Communication status LED’s provide visual confirmation of data
being transmitted and received. Power is supplied via a 9V battery
snap.
The ATX8-2400 includes a convenient jumper enabled TEST LINK
mode. When in this mode a preset 8 byte message will continu-
ously be transmitted. Reception is easily verified by the ARX8 re-
ceiver’s communication LED. A link test may therefore be per-
formed without connecting the modules to any hosts.
The ATX8-2400 transmitter module implements clear to send flow
control (CTS) for use in applications where that require more than
8 bytes of data is to be transmitted. Using the CTS flow control line,
any amount of data may be transmitted.
Features
The module’s serial ports are configured as DCE and re-
quire a “straight through” serial extension cable connec-
tion when connecting the ATX8 and ARX8 modules to 9
pin serial port DTE hosts such as PC’s.
