AC4486 Specifications
AC4486 Features
1. Overview
The AC4486 is a member of AeroComm’s ConnexRF OEM transceiver family. The AC4486 is
designed for integration into OEM systems operating under European ETSI regulations for the 868 -
870 MHz band.
The AC4486 is a cost-effective, high performance, spread spectrum transceiver. It provides an
asynchronous TTL/RS-485 level serial interface for OEM Host communications. Communications
include both system and configuration data. The Host supplies system data for transmission to other
Host(s). Configuration data is stored in an on-board EEPROM. All RF system data
transmission/reception is performed by the transceiver.
These transceivers can be used as a direct serial cable replacement – requiring no special Host
software for operation. They also feature a number of On-the-Fly Control Commands providing the
OEM with a very versatile interface for any network.
AC4486 transceivers operate in a Point-to-Point or Point-to-Multipoint, Client-Server or Peer-to-Peer
architecture. One transceiver is configured as a Server and there can be one or many Clients. To
establish synchronization between transceivers, the Server emits a beacon. Upon detecting a beacon,
a Client transceiver informs its Host and a RF link is established.
This document contains information about the hardware and software interface between an
AeroComm AC4486 transceiver and an OEM Host. Information includes the theory of operation,
specifications, interface definition, configuration information and mechanical drawings.
The OEM is responsible for ensuring the final product meets all appropriate regulatory agency
requirements listed herein before selling any product.
