9XCite‐PKG‐R™ RS‐232/485 RF Modem – Product Manual v2.1 [2007.01.04]
1. 9XCite RS‐232/485 RF Modem
The XCite-PKG-R RS-232/485 RF Modem pro-
vides OEMs and system integrators with a low
power wireless solution that is easy-to-use.
No configuration is necessary for out-of-box RF
operation. Simply feed data into one modem;
then the data is sent out the other end of the
wireless link. If more advanced functionality is
needed, the modem support an extensive set of
commands.
The RF modem operates within the ISM 900
MHz frequency band.
