Product Functionality
searching for a valid ReFLEX frame and low current mode until it detects a valid
ReFLEX frame.
If the data transceiver detects a valid ReFLEX frame and has become synchronized,
but does not detect its address, the unit stays on the channel. It continuously
decodes frame data and waits for its address(es).
Address Capability
The data transceiver can receive the following addresses:
ReFLEX 25: 1 personal service address and 6 information service addresses
ReFLEX 50: 2 personal service address and 1 information service address
Additionally, for the ReFLEX 50 network only, each information service address
can have up to 32 subaddresses.
Duplicate Message Detection
To ensure proper message delivery, the data transceiver detects and cancels
duplicate messages sent via the paging system. If it finds a duplicate message, the
data transceiver discards it in a manner transparent to the host application.
Message Deletion
When all message slots are occupied, or unused message memory is insufficient,
the data transceiver deletes the oldest message to make room for a new message.
Read messages are deleted before unread messages.
Unit IDs
The data transceiver contains the following user identification strings within the
codeplug:
Serial number
Electronic serial number (ESN)
The strings are unique to each data transceiver.
Serial Number
The serial number consists of ten bytes of data stored in the data transceiver
codeplug. It is factory-programmable only.
Electronic Serial Number (ESN)
The ESN consists of four bytes of data stored in the data transceiver codeplug. Each
data transceiver is equipped with a unique serial number which serves as the
reverse channel address of the data transceiver.
The serial number and ESN are data transceiver-specific. If the unit is changed for
service, these numbers also change. The carrier must be notified to make the PIN
number point to the new serial number and ESN.
