II Important Safety Information
The list of dangers, warnings and cautions in this section contain important information that
will help ensure safe operation of the system. Please read carefully and understand all of
these items. All installers, operators and maintenance personnel should read and understand
this information before installation, use, or maintenance of the FDQ02T system.
The FDQ02T system by itself is not inherently dangerous. HOWEVER, WHEN THE
FDQ02T IS CONNECTED TO OTHER EQUIPMENT FOR THE PURPOSE OF
CONTROL, SAFETY AND ALL POSSIBLE ASSOCIATED DANGERS MUST
ALWAYS BE GIVEN THE UTMOST CONSIDERATION DURING SYSTEM
INTEGRATION, DESIGN, INSTALLATION, AND USE.
The FDQ02T system may be used in virtually unlimited applications. Many of these
associated systems can, by themselves, pose a mechanical, electrical or other hazard to
operators and other persons or equipment. To address all possible applications and
associated safety hazards in this manual would be impossible. The warnings below and
throughout this manual give information that will allow safe installation and use the modem
system applications. If you have questions regarding the safety of your specific application,
please contact the appropriate people for help. Your Futaba sales representative,
representatives of the equipment being controlled, and the technical support staff at local
branch of Futaba Corporation are among those who can provide assistance with your safety
concerns.
The following warnings are included in the lists that follow but warrant repetition
here:
In installations where the FDQ02T system is used to control motion or operation of
potentially dangerous equipment, it is imperative for safety that all operators and installers
be thoroughly trained in the normal function of that equipment before attempting to control
it remotely with the FDQ02T system.
To help ensure safe operation of the equipment, the FDQ02T system must be connected so
that it will operate in a fail-safe way. In other words, the equipment being controlled should
stop or return to its safest state in the absence of a control signal or total loss of RF
transmission from the FDQ02T system. Our system uses one of the most reliable methods
available to transmit data using radio signals. Many factors can affect a radio signal that
may block it or interfere enough to disrupt regular transmission. Because of this, equipment
motion or dangerous electrical current, for example, that continues during a loss-of-signal
condition could be very dangerous.
iii
Four symbols are used in the margin of the following section and throughout the manual to
indicate the level of hazard or information listed.
The symbols are defined as follows:
Indicates a hazard that will cause severe personal injury, death, or
substantial property damage if the warning is ignored.
Indicates a hazard that can cause severe personal injury, death, or
substantial property damage if the warning is ignored.
Indicates a hazard that will or can cause minor personal injury, or
property damage if the warning is ignored.
Indicates installation, operation, or maintenance information that is
important but not hazard-related.
Please read the following safety information carefully. Some of these notices are duplicated
throughout the manual, in areas of associated content, for your benefit.
II.I General Safety Hazards and Notes
Improper installation and/or operation of the FDQ02T system can
cause serious or fatal injuries to the operator or nearby persons and
cause damage to the FDQ02T system, and any equipment it is used
to control. Please read and understand this manual completely and
the manual of all equipment being controlled before attempting to
operate or install this system.
Always keep this manual at a location readily accessible to anyone
operating the system and related equipment. Ensure that all operators
have read and understood this manual, especially all safety and
operation procedures contained in it. Please refer to the section in
this manual titled How to Obtain Help for the contact that can
supply additional manuals or answers to questions not covered in this
manual. If this product is passed on to a different user, be sure that
this manual accompanies the product.
Be certain that the installer of this equipment reads and understands
the instruction manual of the equipment that is being connecting to
before attempting this installation.
The FDQ02T should NOT be used in a manner in which failure of
the product or loss of the radio signal could cause damage to the
iv
equipment being controlled, or to anything in the area in which such
equipment is located. All integrated control systems should be
designed for “fail-safe” operation so that a temporary or permanent
loss of signal will not endanger any person, critical process, or
equipment (refer to the beginning of the safety section for further
explanation). The system design should ensure that the equipment
being controlled will default to its safest state in the event of signal
loss.
The FDQ02T contains no user serviceable parts. If the unit requires
service, contact your sales representative or local branch of Futaba
Corporation per instructions the section titled How To Obtain
Help. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the FDQ02T yourself.
Doing so could void your warranty and may void the user’s authority
to operate the device.
Contact Futaba before using the FDQ02T in safety critical
applications such as medical equipment, aircraft, hazardous materials
handling, etc.
II.II Installation Safety Hazards and Notes
When mounting the FDQ02T, use M2.6 (ISO) screws.
Use only the proper regulated DC voltage supplied to the FDQ02T.
Use of any other voltage may permanently damage the modem
and/or cause the modem to malfunction and create a shock or fire
hazard.
Be certain that all AC power outlets used the power adapters have
been properly installed, grounded, and fused. An electrical shock
hazard may exist if this unit is powered by a faulty power outlet or
source. If such a situation is discovered, immediately discontinue use
until the power source and outlet have been properly installed,
grounded, and fused by an electrician or other authorized person.
Be sure to wire the power and serial connections correctly. Incorrect
wiring can damage the system, cause it to malfunction and/or create
a shock and fire hazard.
Ensure that the FDQ02T power and the power to the equipment to be
controlled is turned off before connecting or disconnecting the cable
between them. This will help prevent accidental damage to the
system and unexpected operation and/or injury.
Be sure the FDQ02T power, the power to the equipment that is being
connecting to it, and the DC power source are all turned off before
wiring and connecting the power cable.
Be sure that the supplied power is within the specified range (3.5 to
7.0 VDC). Voltages outside the specified range may damage the
FDQ02T.
Be sure that the power source has sufficient current capacity.
Insufficient current may cause the unit to malfunction.
Securely attach the antenna cable, and serial communication
connector to the FDQ02T and equipment/power source to which it is
connected. Failure to do so could cause an unexpected system failure.
II.III Antenna Installation Hazards and Notes
This radio transmitter (identify the device by certification number or
model number if Category II) has been approved by Industry Canada
to operate with the antenna types listed below with the maximum
permissible gain indicated. Antenna types not included in this list,
having a gain greater than the maximum gain indicated for that type,
are strictly prohibited for use with this device.
(1)ANTB18-096A0
(2)TK-1619A
(3)TRAB24003
Be sure to keep all systems and antennas clear of power lines.
Permanent equipment damage and severe shock injury or death can
occur if the system contacts power lines.
This device has been designed to operate with an antenna having a
maximum gain of 2.14 dB. Antenna having a higher gain is strictly
prohibited for use with this device. The required antenna impedances
50 ohms.
Contact Futaba before connecting any antenna not provided by
Futaba specifically for the FDQ02T. Attaching any non-authorized
antenna may be in violation of FCC regulations.
To reduce potential radio interference to other users, the antenna type
and its gain should be so chosen that the equivalent isotropically
radiated power (e.i.r.p.) is not more than that permitted for successful
communication.
vi
Before each use, verify that the antenna (and antenna cable, if used)
is securely attached and in good condition. A loose antenna or cable
may severely reduce the operating range of the system.
The FDQ02T operates at frequencies in the 2.4 GHz band. These
frequencies are more directional than lower frequencies and are
easily reflected. If there are metal structures nearby, the effective
range may be shortened or the directional properties may be further
narrowed. To help avoid this, mount the antenna as far away as
possible from surrounding metallic structures.
Multipath problems occur easily at frequencies in the 2.4 GHz band.
When multipath problems are present, moving the antenna as little as
10 cm may result in improved communication or, conversely,
worsened or complete loss of communication. Futaba recommends
that the mounting position of the antenna be determined after testing
and verifying optimal communication conditions.
When installing multiple FDQ02T systems that will use different
frequency pattern number in the same area, these antennas must be
mounted at least 6 feet (2 meters) apart. Failure to do so may
severely reduce the modem operating range.
Please contact Futaba for information about antenna separation when
using the FDQ02T and other wireless products in the same area.
vii
II.IV Environmental Safety Hazards and Notes
If the FDQ02T has been stored at a temperature beyond the specified
operating temperature range for the system, it may not function
properly. Allow it to return to normal temperatures before use. Refer
to APPENDIX A – TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS for the actual
operating temperature range.
The FDQ02T is a precision electronic device with a rugged design
that is intended for industrial applications. However, do not install it
where it will encounter excessive vibrations. In some cases, isolation
mounts may be used to isolate the modem from the equipment’s
vibration. Excessive vibration can permanently damage the modem
and/or cause it to malfunction.
Do not operate the FDQ02T in environments where it will be
subjected to excessive moisture (such as rain or water spray), dust,
oil, or other foreign matter (such as metal particles). Doing so may
permanently damage the modem and/or cause it to malfunction. If it
does become wet or contaminated, correct the situation, verify proper
operation and have any problems corrected before using it to control
other equipment. If necessary, the modem can be mounted inside a
protective or waterproof enclosure. If the enclosure is metallic, the
antenna must be mounted externally or the effective operating range
will be severely limited.
The FDQ02T is designed for indoor use. When using it outdoors, the
modem should be mounted in a waterproof enclosure and the
ambient temperature range should be checked to insure that it is
within the modem’s specifications. Always use the modem within its
specified environmental ranges.
II.V Other Notice
Italicized gothic word used in this manual shows functional and
technical term especially important for the FDQ02T.
The device must contain the following permanent labeling on the
exterior of the device as follows:
Contains: FCC ID:AZP-FDQ02T2
Contains: ID : 2914D-FDQ02T2
viii
Operational Safety Hazards and Notes
Before each use of the FDQ02T, ensure that the area where the
equipment will be operated is clear of people or obstacles that may
affect its safe operation.
Before each use of the FDQ02T, verify that both the equipment
being controlled and the modem are in proper operating condition.
When rewriting the FDQ02T’s memory registers, do not turn its
power off until it returns a “P0” response. If the power is interrupted
before a P0 response is returned, the memory contents may be lost or
corrupted and it operation will be unpredictable. If the memory
contents are lost or corrupted, they may be restored to original
default settings by reinitializing them. (See p.25 Memory REGISTER
INITIALIZATION for more details.)
Do not attempt to operate remotely controlled equipment outside the
communication range of the FDQ02T system. Doing so could cause
loss of control of the equipment.
Without implementing proper serial communication flow control
settings, the baud rate between the modem and its terminal
equipment (wire linked) can exceed the wireless link data rate and
cause the modem buffer to overflow. This can result in malfunction
of the systems being controlled and/or data corruption. Ensure that
the appropriate flow control settings are being used for your upper
layer application protocol.
Exposure to Radio Frequency Radiation
For FCC RF safety requirements a minimum of 20 cm separation
distance should be kept between the antenna and the user.

2.4.1 Modem Installation Precautions
WARNING
WARNING
Securely attach the antenna cable, and serial communication
connector to the FDQ02T and equipment/power source to which it
is connected. Failure to not do so could cause an unexpected system
failure.
The FDQ02T is a precision electronic device. Its rugged design is
intended for industrial applications. However, do not install it where
it will encounter excessive vibrations. In some cases, isolation
mounts may be used to isolate the modem from the equipment
vibration. Excessive vibration could permanently damage the modem
and/or cause it to malfunction.
WARNING
If the FDQ02T has been stored at a temperature beyond the specified
operating temperature range for the system, it may not function
properly. Allow it to return to normal temperatures before use. Refer
to p.60 SPECIFICATION for the actual operating temperature range.
WARNING
Do not operate the FDQ02T in environments where it will be
subjected to excessive moisture (such as rain or water spray), dust,
oil or other foreign matter (such as metal particles). Doing so may
permanently damage the modem and/or cause it to malfunction. If it
does become wet or contaminated, correct the situation, verify proper
operation and have any problems corrected before using it to control
other equipment. If necessary, the modem can be mounted inside a
protective or waterproof enclosure. If the enclosure is metallic, the
antenna must be mounted externally or the effective operating range
will be severely limited.
WARNING
The FDQ02T is designed for indoor use. When using it outdoors, the
modem should be mounted in a waterproof enclosure and the
ambient temperature range should be checked to insure that it is
within the modem’s specifications. Always use the modem within its
specified environmental ranges.
2.4.2 Antenna Installation Precautions
WARNING
Before each use, verify that the antenna (and antenna cable, if used)
is securely attached and in good condition. A loose antenna or cable
may severely reduce the operating range of the system.
WARNING
Avoid mounting the antenna near large metallic objects or inside
metal enclosures. Such objects can severely reduce the operating
range of the system.
CAUTION
The FDQ02T operates at frequencies in the 2.4 GHz band. These
frequencies are much directional than lower frequencies and are
easily reflected. If there are metal structures nearby, the effective
range may be shortened or the directional properties may be further
narrowed. To help avoid this, mount the antenna as far away as
possible from surrounding metallic structures.
CAUTION
Multipath problems occur easily at 2.4 GHz frequencies. When
multipath problems are present, moving the antenna as little as 10 cm
may result in improved communication or, conversely, a further
diminished or total loss of communication. Futaba recommends that
the mounting position of the antenna be determined after testing and
verifying optimal communication conditions.
Please contact Futaba for information about antenna separation when
using the FDQ02T and other wireless products in the same area.

SYSTEM OPERATION
3.1 Packet transmission mode
3.1.1 Abstract
In the Packet Transmission mode, the communication is carried out by the follows
procedure:
(1) Once the power of the modem is turned on, the modem becomes the State for
Reception.
(2) The transmission command “TXT” or “TBN” makes the MODEM to the State for
Transmission.
(3) One transmission command can send one packet. The maximum length of the user’s
message is 255 bytes for a packet.
(4) Receiving a packet, the destination modem returns an “ACK” to the sender modem.
Receiving the “ACK,” the sender modem ends the communication. The sender
modem returns its response, which depends on the cause of success or failure in the
communication. Meanwhile, the packet of a message that has failed to be transmitted
will be destroyed.
(5) Prior to sending messages consecutively, the modem checks the responses whether
the previous transmission has been successful or not.
(6) The modem returns to the State for Reception after finishing the transmission.
3.1.2 T Transmission command and reception header
The transmission commands used for the Packet Transmission mode are “TXT”, “TXR”,
“TBN” or “TBR.” Depending on the transmission commands, there are four different
formats that are used to output received data to external equipment. The external
equipment can find the data format by its reception deader.
The “TXR” and “TBR” commands via repeater are not utilized for the modem, but are
explained here for the future upgrade.

3.1.3 Broadcast communication
If the destination address is set to 255, the sender modem broadcasts to all the other
modems, which is called broadcast communication. In the broadcast communication, the
sender modem can transmit its data to multiple modems simultaneously. However, the
modem cannot determine whether all the other modems have received the data without a
failure because ACK is not returned from any of them in the broadcast communication.
In the broadcast communication, the sender modem repeats retransmission inevitably up to
the predetermined count and then returns an “end” response to its external equipment.
Meanwhile, if the receiver modems have received data properly, the modems output the
data to their external equipment. However, the modems do not output the retransmitted data
to their external equipment if the data has been once accepted properly.

3.2
Header-less Stream mode
3.2.1 Abstract
The Header-less Stream mode, a special Packet Transmission mode, does not require the
procedures for transmission commands that are necessary in the Packet Transmission mode,
but requires only inputting transmission data directly.
(1) The destination address can be set in memory register or by command.
(2) The transmission triggers such as terminator, timeout and a specified number of bytes
can be set in the memory register.
(3) The maximum length of the message in a packet is 255 bytes , and the number is
including terminator.
(4) Receiving a packet, the destination modem returns an ”ACK” to sender modem.
Receiving the “ACK,” the sender modem ends the communication.
(5) The sender modem does not return any response regardless of success or failure in the
communication. It is necessary for application software to checking the establishment
of the communication.
(6) Since the modem has a transmission buffer inside, you can enter transmission data
consecutively without waiting the end of transmission like in the Packet Transmission
mode.
(7) This mode is compatible and can communicate with the Packet Transmission mode.
3.2.2 Format
The Header-less Stream mode does not out put the responses such as P1, P0 and N1 in
response to transmission commands. In addition, it doesn’t output the reception header or
CRLF code, which is used in the Packet Transmission mode, but outputs instead special
characters (terminators), which are used as packet separators, as part of data.
The followings are the transmission and reception formats in the Header-less Stream mode.

3.2.3 Transmission trigger
In the Header-less Stream mode, transmission starts under the following conditions.
(1) Terminator mode
A designated terminator or data of 255 bytes or larger is entered.
(2) Timeout mode
No data has been entered for more than the specified time or data of 255 or larger is
entered.
3.3 Extended Reception mode
Extended Reception is a function to avoid transmission errors and response delays due to
repetition of retransmissions when multiple modems transmit messages at the same time
accidentally like contention mode in the Packet Transmission or Header-less Stream mode.
3.3.1 Operations in the Extended Reception mode
In the Extended Reception mode, once a modem has started receiving data during
retransmission (during ACK-wait, Random-wait and Carrier-sense), the modem will fully
complete the data reception, return its “ACK” and then resume the retransmission.
The following figure shows steps of operations in Extended Reception while the two
modems transmit messages at the same time.

The modem1 and 2 transmit messages at the same time.
Both modems wait for “ACK”, but they time-out.
Of the two modems, the one that has finished the random-time earlier (modem2 in this
case) retransmits its message.
(4) Receiving a message retransmitted during the random-wait, the modem1 receives the
whole message and then returns “ACK”.
(5) The modem1 does not output but keep its received message and transmits its own
message.
(6) The modem2 returns “ACK.”
(7) Receiving “ACK,” the modem1 outputs P0 response and the received message.
3.3.2 Contention between transmission and reception
If a modem receives a transmission command during reception, the modem completes the
reception, returns ACK and then starts processing the transmission command. Like the
Extended Reception mode, the modem outputs the received message only after completing
its transmission and outputting P0 response.

3.4 Communication time
The time consumed for each communication sequence in the Packet Transmission mode is
as follows.
(1) Time for entering a transmission command
The time consumed for entering a transmission command to the modem from its terminal
depends on the communication parameters between them.
Parameters are:
1.Transmission rate (300ps to 115.2kbps)
2.Data length (7 or 8 bits)
3.Parity bit (yes or none)
4.Stop-bit length (one or two bits)
5.Start-bit length (one bit)
For example, in the case of 9600bps for transmission rate, 8 bits for data length, no parity,
one stop bit and one start bit, the time consumed for sending one bit will be 104μs. And the
time for sending the data of a byte that consists of 10 bits will be 1.04ms.
In the case of sending a message data of ten bytes by “TXT” command, the time consumed
for sending the message will be 19.8ms because the transmission format becomes
“@TXT001ABCDEFGHIJ [CRLF]”, which is 19 bytes.
(2) Time to generate a transmission packet
The internal processing time to generate a transmission packet after accepting a command
is 1ms or less even though the length of the message data varies from 1 to 255 bytes.
In the Header-less Stream mode, it takes 2ms or less.
(3) Time for carrier sense
Prior to transmission, the modem checks SS correlation. If any SS correlation is detected
within 0.1ms, the modem does not transmit any data.
(4) Time to switch between transmission and reception
The internal processing time consumed for switching transmission to reception or vice
versa is approximately 0.07ms.
(5) Transmission time via radio
Depending on the number of bytes of a message data (1 to 255), the time consumed to
transmit the message is obtained from the following calculation.
1.74ms + (the number of bytes in the message) × 0.06ms
(6) Waiting time for “ACK”
This is the time consumed for waiting for “ACK” after completing transmission via radio.
The waiting time is 2ms.
The modem determines that the transmission has failed if it could not receive “ACK”
packet in that period of time. Then the modem waits for the random-wait time and then
repeats the above steps starting from the carrier sense if the number of retransmissions has
not reached the predetermined number. If there is no remaining number of retransmissions,
the modem ends its transmission, outputting the response of “transmission failure”.
(7) Time to transmit “ACK” or “NAK”
The time consumed for transmitting “ACK” or “NAK” is 1.74ms.
(8) Time for random-wait
When SS correlation has been detected by carrier sense, or when retransmission is required
due to the transmission failure, carrier sense will start only after waiting for the random
time in order to avoid collisions between packets. The time for random-wait is from 1ms to
7ms.
17
(9) Time for reception process
Approximately 0.2ms is consumed for the receiver modem to check the address in the data
and other information sent from the sender modem. The receiver modem recognizes the
data having passed the check and outputs it to its terminal.
The next example shows an approximate time necessary for sending a message of 10 bytes
when the parameters are 9600bps for transmission rate, 8 bits for data length, no parity, one
stop bit and one start bit.
In this example that includes one retransmission, the modem1 enters into the
Retransmission Routine because of no response from the modem2 after waiting for “ACK”.
In Retransmission Routine, the modem1 does a random-wait of 1ms to 7ms in order to
avoid collisions between packets, and then restarts transmission.

3.5 Repeater function
This function is not installed in the modem at present. This section is only for explanation
for the future upgrade.
3.5.1 Abstract
Using repeaters is useful in extending communication area and eliminating dead-point area
where radio signal intensity is insufficient.
The repeater function can coexist with the modem function. If a modem receives a packet
whose “destination address” matches with the modem’s address, the modem outputs the
received data to its external equipment. (Modem operation) If a modem receives a packet
whose “repeater address” matches with the modem’s address, the modem transfers the
packet. (Repeater operation)
If a modem is used as a repeater, there is no need for the modem to have its external
equipment. When a conflict occurs between a transmission command and a transfer
operation, the priority will be given to the one that emerged first. If a transfer request
occurred afterward, the transfer is carried out after transmission. In contrast, if a
transmission request occurred afterward, the transmission is carried out after transmission.
A repeater station, for its installation purpose, should be used as a master station. (Not
mandatory)

The communication time through a repeater is about twice as long as the time consumed in
the direct communication.

4.2 Serial Interface Setting
For connecting the FDQ02T modem with an external terminal equipment, RS232C is
appropriate for 1 to 1 topology. And set the RS485 mode to make RS485 multi-dropping
topology for multiple equipment connection. Interface configuration can be made with Pin
12 (/RS485ENB) of the serial communication connector.
To configure the RS485 mode, pull down Pin 12 with 10k ohm register. In this case, do
NOT connect this pin DIRECTLY to the GND. This is because in RS485 mode, this pin
will be as an output pin, after the initialization completes, to control the output buffer of the
RS485 driver IC chip. As for the RS232C interface, no connection is required because it is
pulled up inside.
Since the interface level of the FDQ02T modem is CMOS, the level conversion circuit
must be provided outside for connecting it with the RS232C or RS485 interface.

4.4 Memory Register Setting
Memory registers set the operation mode and communication parameters of the modem
and retain them in memory. All of the settings of the modem are made by these memory
registers.
Since the memory register is based on rewritable non volatile memories, these memories
can be readily rewritten by external terminal equipment such as PC and their contents will
be kept even after the power is turned off. This non volatile memory can be rewritten about
1 million times.
4.4.1 Memory Register Referencing and Setting
Memory registers are referenced and set with the REG command. (For more information,
refer to REG section at p.39 COMMAND SET DESCRIPTION)
Example procedure:
1. To view the current value of register 00, enter: @REG00 CR/LF
2. Modem responds with 00H CR/LF (REG00 is assumed to be 00H in this case and
varies in each setting case)
3. To set register REG00 to 0FH, enter: @REG00:0FH CR/LF
4. Modem responds with “P0” CR/LF
5. Enter “@RST CR/LF” or cycle the modem power, to activate new values
CR/LF
CAUTION
= command header (specify following characters are command)
 Terminator (carriage return + line feed)
When rewriting the modem’s memory registers, do not turn the
modem’s power off until the modem returns “P0” response. If the
power is interrupted before “P0” is returned, the memory contents
may be lost or corrupted and the modem operation will be
unpredictable.
24
CAUTION
If the memory contents are lost or corrupted, they can be restored to
original default settings by reinitializing them. (See the section below
titled p.25 MEMORY REGISTER INITIALIZATION)
Input character arrays of commands quickly and sequentially.
Too slow input (taking more than 5 seconds in the initial setting)
results in command error.
4.4.2 Memory Register Initialization
The memory registers can be restored to the factory default values at any time by using
one of the following two methods.
1) Memory Register Initialization by hardware:
Use either methods stated below, in which the modem attempts to read Pin 13
(/DefParam) of the serial communication connector at the startup and starts initializing
the memory registers when it is “L”.
Method 1. Set “L” level to Pin 13 (/INIT) of the serial communication connector
with the power turned off. When the power is re-supplied, the memory registers
are initialized and the modem starts operation in the factory default state.
Method 2. Set “L” level to Pin 13 (/INIT) of the serial communication connector
while the power turned on. In this state, force “L” to Pin 11 (POWER ON) of the
serial communication connector more than 1ms, then return the level to “H”. The
modem once becomes the Shutdown mode and returns to Active mode. Since this
sequence is the same as the reset, the memory registers are initialized and the
modem starts operation in the factory default state.
2) Memory Register Initialization by Command:
1. With the modem power is on and the communication software running, enter “@INI
CR/LF” at the terminal prompt.
2. The modem responds with “P0” response and immediately begins to operate using
the initialized factory default state.
CAUTION
While initializing the memory registers, do not turn the modem’s
power off. It take about 1 sec. to initialize the memory registers.
25
4.5 Command Control
Some FDQ02T parameters can be changed by issuing commands from the terminal
equipment. Various applications can be supported with the flexibility that command control
offers.
Command Entry
 When a command is issued to the modem from the terminal equipment, a command
header (one byte character) should be used the modem to acknowledge the command
from ordinary data. The command header is initially set to “@” (40H) but can be
changed to another character by changing the value stored in the memory register
REG10.
 Commands must use all upper case letters (A to Z). The modem does not recognize
lower case letters (a to z) in commands.
 A two byte terminator (carriage return (0DH) + line feed (0AH)) is used to terminate a
command. “CR/LF” shows the terminator in this manual. PC can send this two byte
character with pressing ENTER key once using a communication software. But some
setting is necessary in the software.
 The modem immediately executes a command once it’s recognized. If the command
requires a response, the modem returns the response to the terminal equipment
when its internal processing is completed.
The following is an example of a command entry and response:
@BCL CR/LF :command issued from the terminal equipment
P0 CR/LF
: successive completion response is returned

SECTION
MEMORY REGISTER DESCRIPTION
27
5.1 Memory Register Description
The FDQ02T modem contains 28 memory registers which are used to control and store
communication parameters and operation mode settings. After rewriting new register
settings, the power must be cycled, a hardware reset asserted, or a software RST
command is issued to validate the new settings.
The following table briefly lists each register, register function and default value:

REG00: Own (sender) address



[default value: 000]
This register is used to set the address of a modem. Valid values are from 000 to 254.
The value in this register is used as a sender address in every data packet being sent.
When the address-check function is used, it is possible to receive a packet if the
packet contains such value as a destination address.
REG01: Reserved

[default value: 240]
The FDQ02T does not use this register. Keep the default value as it is.
REG02: Destination Address




[default value: 000]
In the Header-less Stream mode, this register is used to set the address of a destination
modem. Valid values are from 000 to 255.
This destination address is attached to every data packet to be sent.
When using the address-check function, set the destination address in this register.
When using the “DAS” command, however, the address defined by the “DAS”
command is always prioritized.
The destination address 255 represents the broadcast communication.
REG03: Special mode

[default value: F0H]
This register is used to set a special operating mode. The default is the
Communication mode.
REG04: ID Code 1



[default value: 00H]
Used with ID code 2 (REG05), set the ID code. Valid values are 000 to 255.
Together with ID code 2, up to 65535 ID codes can be set.
The ID code identifies the group of the modems works in the same group. The ID
code is used to prevent erroneous connection with other systems and for
communication security.
Before transmission, radio data packets are scrambled using a pseudo-random data
sequence generated with this ID code as the seed. During reception, the original data
is restored by de-scrambling it with the pseudo-random data sequence. The modems
with different ID codes cannot communicate with each other.
REG05: ID Code 2


[default value: 00H]
Used with ID code 1 (REG04), set the ID code. Valid values are 000 to 255.
Together with ID code 1, up to 65535 ID codes can be set.
In case plural modems are used as a single system, always set the same ID code for all
modems and repeaters.
29
REG06: Frequency pattern



[default value:00H]
This register is used to set a frequency pattern. The valid values are from 00H to 15H.
To establish communication in a system, the same frequency pattern should be used.
In contrast, to let multiple systems operate in the same area, each system should have
different frequency patterns.
When using multiple systems in the same area, frequencies may periodically match
and interfere with each other even if the systems are using different frequency
patterns.
REG07: Reserved

[default value: 05H]
The FDQ02T does not use this register. Keep the default value as it is.
REG08: Repeater Address


[default value: FFH]
This register is used to set repeater address when using repeater in the Header-less
Stream mode.
When not using repeater, set “FFH” at this register, making the communication direct.
REG09: Reserved

[default value: 13H]
The FDQ02T does not use this register. Keep the default value as it is.
REG10: Command Header



[default value: 40H]
Sets the character that identifies the start of a command.
The default is character “@” (40H).
When this character is input from the terminal equipment after no character is
received for the command recognition interval (REG15) or longer, subsequent
input character is recognized as a command for the modem.
REG11: Retransmission Count


[default value: 32H]
Sets the maximum number of packet retransmission attempts. Valid values are 000
to 255.
When retransmission exceeds the retransmission count (retransmission count plus
one), the modem outputs an error response to the terminal equipment.
REG12: Reserved

[default value: B4H]
The FDQ02T does not use this register. Keep the default value as it is.
30
REG13: Buffer Data Timeout




[default value: 1EH]
This register is used to set the waiting time to clear the content of the buffer after the
last change in the buffer.
Valid values are from 000 to 255 seconds with an increment of 1 second. The default
value is 30 seconds.
If the Buffer Data Timeout is not necessary, set it at “0.”
This value should be longer than the Data Input timeout (REG26).
REG14: Command Input Timeout
[default value: 32H]

Sets the character input timeout interval for command input. It is used as the
timeout between the command header and the character following it and between
each character of the command.

At the timeout, the modem operation transits from command-input-state to datawait-state.
Valid values are 000 to 255, representing tenths of seconds in 0.1 second increments.
(Set an integer value equal to ten times the number of seconds desired.)
A setting of 000 disables this timeout function


REG15: Command Recognition Interval




When a message data contains a command header character (in case of binary data
or data in two-byte Chinese characters), data following the command header
character will be interpreted as a command, the message does not transmit properly.
Sets the necessary vacant duration time interval to discriminate between ordinary
data character and a command header character. Input a command after a longer
interval than time interval setting.
Valid values are 0.1 to 25.4 sec., representing tenths of seconds in 0.1 second
increments. (Set an integer value equal to ten times the number of seconds desired.)
When set to 000, the command header is recognized at any time, and when set to
255, all command header character are ignored.
REG16: Terminator 1

[default value: 0DH]
Set an arbitrary 1 byte terminator. In case of a 2-byte terminator, set the first byte
character of the terminator.
REG17: Terminator 2

[default value: 00H]
[default value: 0AH]
Set another arbitrary 1 byte terminator. In case of a 2-byte terminator, set the last
character of the terminator .

Function
Transmits binary data in the packet transmission mode.
Any message length between 1 to 255 bytes is accepted.
The modem counts the number of message characters and transmits the message.
For broadcasting messages to multiple modems, set the destination address to
255. In this case, the modem retransmits the message the number of times of the
Retransmission count plus 1, and then it will return “P0”.
In case the global addressing command is issued to plural modems connected by
RS485 multi-dropping interface, the transmission stops when any modem outputs
“P0”, “N2” or “N3” response to the RS485 line.
Example
>TBN002005HELLO CR/LF

The command accompanying a destination address requests a connection to the
destination address. The command without a destination address requests a
connection to the address defined by the DAS command. The modem that has
received a connection request starts actions of the TS2 immediately.
The modem to which the command is entered is called “TS2 master.” The
destination modem is called “TS2 slave.” The TS2 slave does not output any
measurement results.
Ten-consecutive failures in reception disconnect the radio link. Meanwhile, the TS2
master keeps outputting connection request.
The TS2 master modem renews the measurement result approximately every
0.27second and continues outputting the measurement results until the TS2
command is terminated. To stop measurement, enter the command “RST” or turn
off the modem.
The radio modem, being turned into a special mode by this TS2 command, may
output command error or irrelevant responses against all commands except RST
command.
The TS2 command always conducts “address check.”

data transmission succeeded
command accepted, data being transmitted
data packet reached to repeater
command error (Except 485 mode)
data transmission failed -- no response from the destination station
data transmission failed -- destination station is in the reception disabled state
data transmission failed -- destination station cannot receive because its receive
buffer is full.
Function
Transmits text data in the packet transmission mode through repeater.
Any message length between 1 to 255 bytes is accepted. The completion of data
input is recognized by the terminator.
For broadcasting messages to multiple modems, set the destination address to
255. In this case, the modem retransmits the message the number of times of the
Retransmission count plus 1, and then it will return “P0”.
In case the global addressing command is issued to plural modems connected by
RS485 multi-dropping interface, the transmission stops when any modem outputs
“P0”, “N2” or “N3” response to the RS485 line.
Example
>@TXR100002HELLO CR/LF : transmits HELLO from station 001 to station 002 through
repeater 100
@TXT002HELLO CR/LF
@TXT003MAIL CR/LF
