TS4000 Overview
The TS4000 Radio Modem is an integrated radio and modem designed for the
wireless transmission of digital data. The TS4000 can transfer data at rates
greater than 19,200 bits per second. The TS4000 includes a synthesized VHF,
UHF or 900 MHz transceiver that can be programmed for up to 99 channels.
This product is ideally suited to OEMs and system integrators who require a
versatile radio modem in a single package. The TS4000 is configured with
windows based PC configuration software.
Main Features
!
High speed channel rates in excess of 19,200 bits per second.
!
Selectable operating modes for transparent and packet data operation.
!
High efficiency switching voltage regulator provides a wide input voltage
range and uses minimum power regardless of the input voltage.
!
Provides addressed communications for devices that are not directly
addressable themselves.
!
Includes store-and-forward data repeating for wide area coverage.
!
Provides two individually configurable data ports.
!
Supports data activation (three wire) and RTS/CTS handshake protocols.
!
Includes powerful network diagnostics for non-intrusive monitoring of all radio
and data network functions.
!
Built-in bit error rate (BER) monitoring.
!
Configurable RF output power levels.
!
Programmable receive sensitivity level (squelch) for use on noisy channels.
!
Watertight case option for outdoor use and marine installations.
Flexible Data Interface
!
Two highly configurable user data serial ports.
!
Primary port supports connection to virtually any asynchronous user device.
!
Secondary port used as diagnostics port, synchronous port, or separately
addressable packet data port.
!
Full handshake and data activation modes supported on both ports.
!
Data activation mode requires only receive and transmit data lines for full
communication with user device.
!
Data rates from 300 to 38,400 baud.
!
RS-232, RS-485 or TTL signal levels.
Integrated RF Transceiver
!
Synthesized transceivers cover VHF, UHF and 900 MHz bands.
!
Programmable RF output power levels.
!
Channel frequencies are stored in internal flash memory and are selectable
on-the-fly using simple ASCII command strings.
Selectable Channel Protocols
!
User selectable scrambling codes for private network communications.
!
Optional Forward Error Correction (FEC) using block coding and interleaving
corrects channel induced errors.
!
User selectable transparent or AirNet packet data transfer modes.
