Page  ii  FRH-SD07TU/TB Manual 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 FRH-SD07TU/TB system.  The FRH-SD07TU/TB system by itself is not inherently dangerous. HOWEVER, WHEN THE FRH-SD07TU/TB 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 FRH-SD07TU/TB 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 FRH-SD07TU/TB 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 FRH-SD07TU/TB system.  To help ensure safe operation of the equipment, the FRH-SD07TU/TB 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 FRH-SD07TU/TB 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.  Rev. 050415-01.1

Page  iv  FRH-SD07TU/TB Manual 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 FRH-SD07TU/TB modem should NOT be used in a manner in which failure of the product or loss of the radio signal could cause damage to the 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 FRH-SD07TU/TB modem 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 FRH-SD07TU/TB yourself. Doing so could void your warranty and may void the user’s authority to operate the device. Contact Futaba before using the FRH-SD07TU/TB modem in safety critical applications such as medical equipment, aircraft, hazardous materials handling, etc. II.II  Installation Safety Hazards and Notes When mounting the FRH-SD07TU/TB modem, use M2 (ISO) screws that project 2 to 3 mm into the modem. Screws that project further into the modem (3.5mm MAX) may permanently damage the internal components and/or cause the FRH-SD07TU/TB modem to malfunction. Use only the proper regulated DC voltage supplied to the FRH-SD07TU/TB modem. 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  Rev. 050415-01.1
 Page  v 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 FRH-SD07TU/TB modem 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 FRH-SD07TU/TB modem 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 (2.7 to 3.3 VDC). Voltages outside the specified range may damage the FRH-SD07TU/TB modem. 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 FRH-SD07TU/TB modem 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 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. Contact Futaba before connecting any antenna not provided by Futaba specifically for the FRH-SD07TU/TB modem. Attaching any non-authorized antenna may be in violation of FCC regulations. Futaba Corporation Rev. 050415-01.1
Page  vi  FRH-SD07TU/TB Manual When using two antennas with a single FRH-SD07TU/TB modem for diversity reception, mount the antennas as far apart as possible (6 cm minimum). If the antennas are too close, the diversity advantage will not be achieved. 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. When installing the FRH-SD07TU/TB modem in a mobile unit such as an Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV), Futaba recommends to use the diversity reception feature as a remedy for multipath fading problems. For diversity reception, install the two antennas as far apart as possible in order to gain maximum benefit (6 cm minimum). The FRH-SD07TU/TB 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. Negative multipath effects can also be overcome with antenna diversity. See p.12 DIVERSITY ANTENNA SETUP and the related register settings for more details regarding antenna diversity function. When installing multiple FRH-SD07TU/TB modem systems that will use different frequency groups in the same area, modem’s antennas of different frequency groups 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 FRH-SD07TU/TB and other wireless products in the same area.  Rev. 050415-01.1
 Page  vii II.IV  Environmental Safety Hazards and Notes If the FRH-SD07TB/TU modem 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 FRH-SD07TB/TU modem 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 FRH-SD07TB/TU modem 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 FRH-SD07TU/TB 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 FRH-SD07TU/TB modem. Futaba Corporation Rev. 050415-01.1
Page  viii  FRH-SD07TU/TB Manual  Rev. 020510-01 Operational Safety Hazards and Notes Before each use of the FRH-SD07TU/TB modem, 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 FRH-SD07TB/TU modem, verify that both the equipment being controlled and the modem are in proper operating condition. When rewriting the FRH-SD07TB/TU modem’s memory registers, do not turn the modem’s power off until the modem returns a “P0” response. If the power is interrupted before a P0 response is returned, the memory contents may be lost or corrupted and the modem 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.44 Memory REGISTER INITIALIZATION for more details.) Do not attempt to operate remotely controlled equipment outside the communication range of the FRH-SD07TU/TB 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. CautionExposure to Radio Frequency RadiationFor FCC RF safety requirements a miminmum of 20 cm separation distance should be kept between the antenna and the user.

 Page  15 2.5.4  ID Code Setting Recommendation Futaba recommend user to set unique ID code to prevent unexpected interference (jamming) between  individual FRH systems working in the same area. The protocol on RF channel employed in FRH series modem is Futaba’s original protocol. Therefore, there is no concern undesired connection to other radio systems, such as wireless LAN. On the other hand, it has a possibility that unexpected, undesired radio connection between Futaba’s FRH series modems which work as different radio systems.  To prevent this undesired radio connection, ID code (REG04 and REG05) can be used. Since the FRH radio modems which set different ID code can not communicate each other, it is possible to prevent an undesired connection. Set same ID code to the modems work in the same radio system. Set appropriate and individual ID code for the system, do not use simple code such as 1111H, not to coincide to other system’s setting.

The default setting is Mode 3. Mode 1 and 2 are the modes perform on the other FRH series modem.  Mode Protocol  Function 3 Modem 4 Repeater 5 packet transmission 6 direct transmission  Modem  Table 3–1:  FRH Operation Modes 3.1.1  Mode 3 – Packet Transmission Mode •  In Mode 3, the FRH-SD07TU/TB modem communicates in packet transmission mode. Communication parameters are set using the memory registers. •  Mode 3 is generally used for 1:n and n:m wireless network topology and for applications in which the volume of data is relatively small and changing the destination station occurs frequently. 3.1.2  Mode 4 – Repeater Mode •  In Mode 4, the FRH-SD07TU/TB modem operates as a repeater in packet transmission mode. All modem and communication parameters are controlled through the modem’s internal memory registers. •  Mode 4 is used to extend the effective communication range in a topology using Mode 3. 3.1.3  Mode 5 – Headerless Packet Transmission Normal Mode •  Mode 5, a special mode in packet transmission mode, is used by no transmission command required in Mode 3 and enable transmission only by the direct data input. •  Mode 5 is generally used for 1:n wireless network topology and for applications in which the volume of data is relatively small and changing the destination station from among the receiver modems occurs infrequently. Since no transmission command is required, the development of upper layer application program becomes easier. •  The operation method of Mode 5 is quite different from that of Mode 3 and Mode 4.

Page  20  FRH-SD07TU/TB Manual 3.2   Packet Transmission Mode Packet transmission mode operates as half-duplex communication and requires explicit commands to control the modem transmissions. Because this mode allows the addressing of different destination receiver modems by embedding the address in the data packets, it is best suited for 1:n and n:m topology applications.  In packet transmission mode, the FRH-SD07TU/TB modem normally waits in a ready-to-receive state. When a transmission command is issued to the sender modem from its terminal equipment, the modem searches for a clear frequency channel and, when found, transmits the message to the intended destination receiver modem.  Packet transmission mode also allows expansion of the effective wireless communication range by using an additional FRH (series) modem configured as a repeater. 3.2.1  Packet Transmission Mode Protocol In packet transmission mode, after a data packet is transmitted from the sender modem (station) to a destination station, the destination station acknowledges successful communication by returning an acknowledgement (ACK) packet to the sender modem. The sender modem waits for the ACK packet and when it is received, indicates that the transmission was successful. If it does not receive an ACK packet, it will continue to retransmit the data packet until it does receive an ACK packet or until the retransmission count (REG11 or RNO command setting) reaches the preset limit. If the sender modem receives an ACK packet anytime during the retransmission attempts, it returns a “successive completion response” (P0) code to its terminal equipment. If the modem does not receive an ACK packet, it returns a “transmission failed” (N1) code to its terminal equipment.

 Page  21 3.2.2  Broadcast Transmission Protocol Broadcast transmission (sending the same data to multiple modems simultaneously) is possible in packet transmission mode by setting 255 as the destination address (REG02). However, because ACK packet are not returned when executing the broadcast transmission, the sender modem does not receive confirmation of the “successful reception” of the transmitted data from any of the receiver modems.  In broadcast transmission, the sender modem transmit the data packet the number of times equal to the preset retransmission count (REG11 or RNO command setting) plus one and then it outputs a successive completion response (P0) to its terminal equipment. When the remote receiver modems receive the transmitted data successfully, they output the data to their terminal equipments normally and do not return ACK packet. Once a valid data packet has been received correctly by a receiver modem, rest of data received during any subsequent retransmissions are discarded and not output to its terminal equipment.

Both text and binary data can be sent directly from modem-to-modem or sent through a third FRH (series) modem configured as a repeater.

CAUTION In the text data transmission, the message is considered to be terminated when the CR/LF code appears in it. No data after that will be transmitted. When the CR/LF code contains in a message, use the binary data transmission command.  CAUTION When the command header contains in a message data, the data after that are recognized as the command, resulting in command error. When the command header contains in a message data, it is necessary to set the memory register REG15, Command Recognition Interval. CAUTIONFutaba Corporation Rev. 050415-01.1
Page  24  FRH-SD07TU/TB Manual 3.2.4  Extended Receiving The extended receiving function (mode 3 and 5) can be used to prevent the degradation of  transmission delay or failure caused by a collision of two transmission packet where two modems perform transmission at the same time in the contention topology application. The collision results retransmission of the same packet or packet transmission failure. Set with the memory register REG19: bit 3 to enable this function. 3.2.4.1   Operation of Extended Receiving In the transmission originate sequence, the message packet arrived during carrier sensing in the sequence is not received all but carrier sensing continues. But in the extended receiving, the message packet arrived during carrier sensing is received and the modem returns ACK packet. After returning ACK, carrier sensing will resume.

Modem 1 receives the retransmitted message during carrier sensing state (performs the extend receiving), return ACK after receiving the message. 5.   Modem 1 does carrier sensing again and transmits the message. 6.   Modem 2 returns ACK to complete transmission.  Rev. 050415-01.1

P1 CR/LF       response of transmission command acceptance RXT002 . . . . CR/LF    message output P0 CR/LF       response of successive transmission Therefore, it is necessary to design an upper layer application protocol with a consideration that the message is output between the command responses “P1” and “P0”. Except the headerless packet transmission mode, such consideration is not necessary because there is no “P1” and “P0” response. Futaba Corporation Rev. 050415-01.1
Page  26  FRH-SD07TU/TB Manual 3.2.5  Communication Time in Packet Transmission Mode 3.2.5.1   Transmission sequence  The transmission sequence in the packet transmission mode (mode 3,4 and 5) and time required for each transmission are described as follows:  1.  Issue the transmission command The input time of the transmission command is determined by the serial communication parameter between the terminal equipment and the modem. Relating parameters are as follows. a.   transmitting rate (300 bps to 115200 bps) b.   data length (7 or 8 bits) c.   parity bit (with or without) d.   stop bit length (1 or 2 bits) e.   start bit length (1 bit constant) Example:  In the case of the transmitting rate of 9600 bps, 1 start bit and 1 stop bit,  data length of 8 bits and without parity, the time required for sending 1 byte is      1.04 ms, as 104 us is required for 1 bit. To transmit 10 bytes message data by the TXT command, the command syntax is @TXT001ABCDEFGHIJ CR/LF of 19 bytes, requiring 19.8 ms. 2.   Carrier sensing The sensing time to confirm whether another modem is transmitting or not. If a carrier is detected during carrier sensing, again another carrier sensing will take place after random wait time. 3.   Wireless transmission The wireless transmission time depends on the message byte data length (1 to 255). It can be expressed in the following equation.              7.084 ms + message byte x 0.154 ms 4.   Waiting for ACK packet The time for waiting ACK packet after the end of wireless transmission. It takes 5 ms for the direct transmission to the destination station and “wireless transmission time + 17.2 ms” for the transmission through repeater. If the preamble of the ACK packet  cannot be received within this period, it results transmission failure. When the retransmission count (REG11 or RNO command setting) does not reach 0, carrier sensing starts after the random wait time. When the retransmission counter reaches 0, the transmission ends with the “N1” response of transmission failure. 5.   Transmission of ACK (NAK) The time for transmitting the response packet from the receiver modem. ACK packet is  Rev. 050415-01.1
 Page  27 to notify the sender the successful receiving. NAK packet is to notify the receive failure which the repeater returns to the sender modem when no respond from the destination station, in case the transmission is through the repeater. In both cases, it takes       7.084 ms. 6.   Random wait When a carrier is detected in carrier sensing or data are retransmitted due to transmission failure, carrier sensing starts after the randomly set wait period for to prevent the collision of packets. It takes 0, 3, 6 or 10 ms, random wait time 7.   Output of received data Time to output the received data to the terminal equipment. This time depends on the serial communication parameter between the terminal equipment and the modem, as in the case of  above  ISSUE THE TRANSMISSION COMMAND. 3.2.5.2   Communication time An example of the communication time for transmitting 10 bytes message with 1 stop bit and without parity, where the communication parameter is 19200 bps and the data length is 8 bits, is shown below.  Case 1: Successive finish of the TXT command       This case is the most basic communication example.

Page  30  FRH-SD07TU/TB Manual 3.2.6  Precautions in Packet Transmission Mode 3.2.6.1   No ACK Response In packet transmission mode (mode 3), succession of communication is confirmed when the sender modem receives an acknowledgment (ACK packet) from the receiver modem. If the ACK packet is not successfully obtained from the receiver modem, even though the data was successfully received, the sender modem concludes (incorrectly) that the data transmission sequence was failed and outputs transmission failure response (N1) to its terminal equipment. The following text describes what will occur in such situations:  When the ACK packet is lost and the retransmission count (REG11 or RNO command setting) is set to 0:  Tx modem: sends packet  Rx modem: transmits ACK and outputs the received data to its terminal equipment  Tx modem: outputs the transmission failure response (N1) to its terminal equipment (since no ACK was received) and takes no more action.  When the ACK packet is lost and the retransmission count set to 1 or greater:  Tx modem: sends packet  Rx modem: transmits ACK and outputs the received data to its terminal equipment.   Tx modem:  retransmits same packet until ACK is received or until it finishes retransmission of the packet the number of times the retransmission count plus one   Rx modem:  for each subsequent data packet successfully received, transmits an ACK but does not forward the again-received-data to its terminal equipment  Tx modem: if an ACK is received after any retransmission attempt, a successive completion response (P0) returns to its terminal equipment; otherwise, the transmission failure response (N1) returns  Problems with ACK packet not being received can usually be resolved by increasing the number of retransmission count setting. However, if in the situation above, inconsistency of data stream perception between sender and receiver terminal equipments will occur. This problem can not be resolved in the modem inside, prepare the solver in the upper layer application protocol. 3.2.6.2   Throughput Degradations in Frequency Grouping If the retransmission count is not set sufficiently high when using the frequency group function in the packet transmission mode (modes 3 and 5), receive throughput will drop and the probability of transmission failure will increase. To help alleviate these potential performance problems when using the frequency group function, set the retransmission count to a value equal to or larger than the square of the number of frequencies being used.   Rev. 050415-01.1
 Page  31 Receive throughput will drop since the frequency between the sender modem and receiver modem is not identical in some case (because multiple frequencies are used). When using the frequency group function, receiver modems are in the ready-to-receive state and is sequentially changing frequencies. A sender modem, that has data to be transmitted, also transmits its packet sequentially with changing frequencies until it receives ACK from the receiver modem or until it reaches the retransmission count plus one. Because the receiving modem changes frequencies at a slower rate than the transmitting modem, the both frequency channels will eventually align. And the data packet will be successfully transmitted. To make frequency alignment in both mode, the retransmission count should be set high enough. But sometimes, it takes a time to make this alignment.  The use of the frequency group function is effective when specific frequencies are interfered,  but will result a degradation of data throughput. Accordingly, it is recommended to use the fixed frequency mode for applications that require high data throughput in the packet transmission mode. (In this case, the communication may be susceptible to interference or multipath fading) 3.2.6.3   Collision Avoidance in RS485 Interface When multiple modems are connected on RS485 wire-line, the received data or the command responses of the modem may collide on the line. Reasons of such collision are that multi-dropped multiple modems receive packet at the same time and output to RS485 line, or, multiple modems accept global addressing command and output its response at the same time. When there is a possibility of the RS485 line collision, avoid it by taking following remedy.   1) Set each of the multi-dropped modem’s Interval between packets (REG07) value to different value. Difference between each set value shall be larger than 1 byte transmission duration (from the start bit to the stop bit) which determined by the RS485 line baud rate. 2) Set the Collision avoidance function (REG23:bit 1) of all modems to 1.  3) Set Regular interval output for RS485 collision avoidance (REG23:bit 2) to 1 of the modem which Interval between RS485 packets (REG07) is set to the longest  The above remedy is set to the multiple modems that are multi-dropped, the modem which set REG07 interval to the longest outputs regularly CR code [0DH] when all modem has no data to output. This enables timing synchronization of all of the modems to start measuring the interval time between RS485 data packets to packet.    This results that data will not be output from multiple modems at the same time since the interval between RS485 packets (REG07) of each modem is set to different values. Also the modem can detects another station’s RS485 data transmission status since the interval difference is set more than 1 byte time. Eventually, this can avoid collision on the RS485 line since the modem can wait for their turn to output RS485 data.    Futaba Corporation Rev. 050415-01.1
Page  32  FRH-SD07TU/TB Manual 3.2.6.4   Retransmit Count in Broadcast Transmission In the broadcast transmission, the modem does transmit packet up to the retransmission count (REG11 or RNO command setting). If the upper layer application protocol is designed, such that the receiver side terminal equipment immediately return the response to the sender, the reply is sent back during retransmission is in progress. In this case, the reply packet cannot be received during the retransmission. It is necessary to set the retransmission count to a suitable value in the case.  Rev. 050415-01.1
 Page  33 3.3  Power Down Mode The FRH-SD07TU/TB has three power-down modes. Select the mode according to the power supply operating conditions such as battery-powered application.  (1) Active Mode This mode is not the power down mode but always capable of transmitting and receiving data. The modem is in the active mode when the power is turned on. The current consumption is 35 mA maximum in this mode.  (2) ULTRA Mode ULTRA (Ultra Low Power Transient Radio Access) mode is the doze mode. When set to the ULTRA mode, the modem transits to the intermittent receive state to wait the wakeup request packet. On receipt of the wakeup request packet to be requested wakeup from other modem, the modem returns to the Active mode to operate normal communication operation. This mode is effective, by extending the operation duration time, in the operation using the power source with limited capacity, such as dry-batteries or solar- batteries. The average current consumption is about 2 mA in this mode.  (3) RF Block Power Down Mode This mode shuts down the power supply of the RF circuit block, where only the control (logic) circuit is activating. Since the control circuit is in operation, the setting of memory registers are retained. When the modem returns to the Active mode, it can continue its operation since the register value is retained. Furthermore, functions such as referencing and setting memory registers can be used in this mode.  This mode is invoked by the following commands.   ROF command:    to become the RF block power down mode  RON command:   to return to the Active mode  The current consumption is about 5 mA in this mode.  (4) Shutdown Mode This mode not only shuts down the power source of the RF circuit block but also stops the control (logic) circuit operation. The current consumption becomes minimum. Since the control circuit does not operate in this mode, the modem will be in the reset state when it returns to the Active mode. That is, all parameters, tentatively change modem operation like FRQ command, will be initiated. On the other hand, memory register parameters set by the REG command is effective. This Shutdown mode is the same state as the system reset and can be used as the ‘forced reset’ from the terminal equipment. Reset duration (initializing) time when power is turned on is about 220 ms. However, returning from this mode can accept commands in about 75 ms. Set with Pin 11 (/SHUT) of the serial communication interface.   To set Pin 11 to ‘L’:   to the Shutdown mode   To set Pin 11 to ‘H’:   to return to the Active mode Futaba Corporation Rev. 050415-01.1
Page  34  FRH-SD07TU/TB Manual If the modem transits to the Shutdown mode from the ULTRA mode, it will return to the ULTRA mode again when the Shutdown mode is released. The current consumption is about 70uA in this mode.   Rev. 050415-01.1
 Page  35 3.4  Frequency Grouping 3.4.1  Frequency Band The FRH-SD07TU/TB has 54 individual frequencies between 2420 MHz and 2473 MHz with 1 MHz / 2MHz separation in each frequency. One system can select/operate 24 frequencies in the 54 frequencies. See the table below for the exact frequency assignments. 3.4.2  Frequency Allocation 24 Frequency are assigned each frequency band (01, 02 and three 2 MHz separation) with 1 MHz or 2 MHz separation. If 1 MHz adjacent frequency separation is utilized in a same area, the possibility of adjacent channel interference exists because the difference of reception signal level between the desired signal and undesired leakage from the adjacent channel. Specially, if fixed (single) frequency operation, more than 2 MHz separation operation is recommended. *Both France and Spain are band limited, please use 02 Band for operation.  Freq. (MHz) Freq.

Page  36  FRH-SD07TU/TB Manual 3.4.3  Frequency Group Operation The FRH-SD07TU/TB can operate on a fixed frequency or on any frequency in a set of frequency group.  Multiple FRH (series) systems can be use different frequency groups and operate in the same area without mutual interference between the systems. When the RF environment is relatively clean, wireless channel links can be made on a fixed, clear frequency (no interference) by using Grouping Method H. In less than ideal RF environments, it is better to use multiple frequencies method in the frequency group (Grouping Method A through G, multi-Access function). Since the modem searches clear frequency in the group, it overcomes multipath fading and interference problems and establishes wireless communications.  On the down side, wireless link establishment delays will become longer when using the frequency group function (multi-access function) because the additional time is required for searching the channels in the group with transmitting and receiving the packet on the both end of the modem. The average connection delay will increase and the number of systems that can operate independently in the same area will decrease as the number of frequencies per group increases. Select the best grouping method for your application. 3.4.4  Grouping Methods The frequency grouping method and group number are set using memory register REG06.  The following eight frequency grouping methods are available:  Method  Number of Groups  Group Numbers Frequencies per Group A 1  0  24 B 2  0 to 1  12 C 3  0 to 2  8 D 4  0 to 3  6 E 6  0 to 5  4 F 8  0 to 7  3 G 12  0 to 11  2 H 24  0 to 23  1 Table 3–7:  Frequency Grouping Methods and Group Numbers •  In Grouping Method A, multi-access function uses all 24 frequencies. •  Frequencies are fixed in Grouping Method H, because only one frequency is available in each group.

Page  42  FRH-SD07TU/TB Manual 4.1  Function Control Methods 4.1.1  Serial Interface Setting For connecting the FRH-SD07TU/TB 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 FRH-SD07TU/TB modem is CMOS, the level conversion circuit must be provided outside for connecting it with the RS232C or RS485 interface. For an example of the level conversion circuit, see p.148 CONVERSION CIRCUIT.  Converter PC RS-232CFRH modemFigure 4–1:  Connection Example to PC  Rev. 050415-01.1
 Page  43 4.1.2  Terminal Software Setup for Memory Register Control Communication or terminal software is necessary to set the memory registers. Nearly any PC communication software can be used. Launch the communication software and set the terminal’s communication parameters as shown below. Refer to your specific communication software instructions how to set these parameters.    bit rate:  9600 bps   data length:  8 bits   stop bits:  1 bit  parity bit: none  flow control: none  local echo: yes   terminator:  carriage return + line feed  These settings correspond to the initial, default memory register value of the FRH-SD07TU/TB modem. When changing memory registers REG20 and REG21 for communication parameters, remember to also update your communication software settings.  Check for proper communication between the terminal equipment and the modem after setting these parameters. To do this, turn the modem power on and, with the communication software running, enter “@ARG CR/LF  ” at the terminal prompt. If functioning properly, the modem should return the value of all 28 memory registers to the terminal screen. 4.1.3  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. 4.1.3.1   Memory Register Referencing and Setting Memory registers are referenced and set with the REG command. (For more information, refer to REG section at p.79 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 Futaba Corporation Rev. 050415-01.1
Page  44  FRH-SD07TU/TB Manual 5. Enter “@RST CR/LF” or cycle the modem power, to activate new values   @  =  command header (specify following characters are command)  CR/LF = 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.  CAUTIONIf the memory contents are lost or corrupted, they can be restored to original default settings by reinitializing them. (See the section below titled p.44 MEMORY REGISTER INITIALIZATION) CAUTIONInput character arrays of commands quickly and sequentially. Too slow input (taking more than 5 seconds in the initial setting) results in command error.  4.1.3.2   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 (/DefParam) 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 (/DefParam) of the serial communication connector while the power turned on. In this state, force “L” to Pin 11 (/SHUT) 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:  Rev. 050415-01.1
 Page  45 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. While initializing the memory registers, do not turn the modem’s power off. It take about 1 sec. to initialize the memory registers. CAUTION Futaba Corporation Rev. 050415-01.1
Page  46  FRH-SD07TU/TB Manual 4.1.4  Command Control Some FRH-SD07TU/TB 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  Rev. 050415-01.1
 Page  47 4.2  Communication Methods The FRH-SD07TU/TB can support wide range of network configurations, from simple networks that are simply connected in 1:1 topology to complex n:m networks topology that use an upper layer application protocol to control the modem with commands.  This section shows several specific configuration examples to help illustrate the settings for each basic communication topology. The actual settings of the memory registers for your specific application may differ from these examples.  There are important notes using transmit commands. Be sure to read p.158 OPERATION IMPORTANT NOTICE. CAUTION 4.2.1  Communication Example (1:1 – Mode 3) The most basic communication topology of FRH-SD07TU/TB is the 1:1 communication in the communication mode 3 (packet transmission mode). In this mode, message data are transmitted using transmit commands like @TXT. As the terminal equipment, personal computers (PC) can be used. In here, we assume that the RS232C interface is used. 4.2.1.1   Modem Setup (1:1 – Mode 3) Both two modem can operate without changing any parameter settings. 4.2.1.2   Terminal Software Setup (1:1 – Mode 3) Invoke terminal software and setup the terminal software as follows: (refer your software instructions for setup details)    bit rate:  9600 bps   data length:  8 bits   stop bits:  1 bit  parity bit: none  flow control: none  local echo: yes   terminator:  carriage return + line feed  This setting corresponds to the factory default state of the modem. When REG20 and REG21 are changed, change the terminal software setup accordingly.   Check for proper communication between the terminal equipment and the modem after setting these parameters. To do this, turn the modem power on and with the communication software running, enter “@ARG CR/LF ” at the terminal prompt. If functioning properly, the modem should return the value of all 28 memory registers to the terminal screen. Futaba Corporation Rev. 050415-01.1
Page  48  FRH-SD07TU/TB Manual 4.2.1.3   Communication (1:1 – Mode 3) In packet transmission mode, data is transmitted by using the transmit commands (TXT, TBN, etc.).   1.

 Page  49 4.2.2  Communication Example (1:n – Mode 3) This section describes an example of 1:n communication in packet transmission mode (Mode 3). In multiple station topology, each station’s memory register setting must be unique local station address (REG00). In this mode, all transmissions are made using the transmit commands (TXT, TBN, etc.). The following example assumes that there are one master and three slave stations.  4.2.2.1   Terminal Software Setup (1:n – Mode 3) Set the terminal software as follows: (refer your software instructions for setup details)    bit rate:  9600 bps   data length:  8 bits   stop bits:  1 bit  parity bit: none  flow control: none  local echo: yes   terminator:  carriage return + line feed  This setting corresponds to the factory default state of the modem. When REG20 and REG21 are changed, change the terminal software setup accordingly.  Check for proper communication between the terminal equipment and the modem after setting these parameters. To do this, turn the modem power on and with the communication software running, enter “@ARG CR/LF” at the terminal prompt. If functioning properly, the modem should return the value of all 28 memory registers to the terminal screen. 4.2.2.2   Modem Setup (1:n – Mode 3) 1.  Set the local station addresses (REG00) as follows: Master Station  000 Slave Station 1  001 Slave Station 2  002 Slave Station 3  003 2.

Master Station transmits a message to Slave Station 1.  command: @TXT001HELLO CR/LF   2.  Slave Station 1 receives the message, verifies that the message is addressed to it, outputs the data to its terminal equipment, and returns an ACK packet to Master Station.  output: RXT000HELLO CR/LF   3.  Slave Stations 2 and 3 also receive the message, but since the destination address does not match theirs, they discard the data and do not output it to their respective terminal equipments.   4.  Master Station receives the ACK from Slave Station 1.

In this example; 3 master modems and 2 slave modem case is explained. The slave modem can keep on radio communication while moving, by automatically changing the communication to master modems (roaming function).   4.2.3.1   Terminal Software Setup Example: Set the terminal software as follows: (refer your software instructions for setup details)    bit rate: 9600 bps      data length:  8 bits      stop bit:  1 bit      parity bit:  none      flow control:  none      local echo:  yes      terminator:  carriage return + line feed  This setting corresponds to the factory default state of the modem. When REG20 and REG21 are changed, change the terminal software setup accordingly.   Check for proper communication between the terminal equipment and the modem after setting these parameters. To do this, turn the modem power on and with the communication software running, enter “@ARG CR/LF” at the terminal prompt. If functioning properly, the modem should return the value of all 28 memory registers to the terminal screen. 4.2.3.2   Modem Setup Example: (1) Master (Base) Station Setup  1.  Pull down Pin 12 (/RS485ENB) at about 10 k ohm register. (RS485 mode)  At this time, do NOT connect this pin DIRECTLY to GND. 2. Set the local station address of the modem as follows.  (REG00 or REG01)   REG00              REG01 Master modem 1    001    240 Master modem 2   002    240 Master modem 3   002    240 3.  Set REG18:bit 0 to 1.  (to perform Destination Address Checking) 4.  Allocate the frequency No. 0, 8, 16 in the fixed frequency mode (REG06), which corresponds to Group 0 of Grouping Method F.

Set REG19:bit 1 to 1 (to perform Regularly transmit radio beacon without transmission request). 6.  Use the default value for other memory registers.  (2) Slave (Mobile) Station Setup  1.  Since the slave modem is in the RS232C mode, it is not necessary to pull down Pin 12 of the serial communication connector 2. Set the local station address (REG00) of the modem as follows. Slave modem  1    101 Slave modem  2    102 3. Set REG18:bit 0 to 1 (to perform Destination Address Checking).   4. Set the frequency group (REG06) to A0H (group 0 of Grouping Method F) to make it correspond to the frequency of the maser modems.  5. Set REG19:bit 2 to 1 (to be Wait-to-receive mode by fixing frequency while the correlation detection is made).  6.  Use the default value for other memory registers. 4.2.3.3   Communication Example:  1.   If there is Slave Station 2 near Master Station 1, Slave Station 2 receives the radio beacon of Master Station 1 and its frequency is fixed at No. 0. 2.  @TXT240HELLO CR/LF  : Issue the transmit command to Slave Station 2. Be noted that the address is 240 (global addressed destination). 3.   Since slave stations transmit data to master stations as the global addressed destination, slave station need not aware which master station responds. Only the master station who has the same frequency receives and responds. (In this case, Master Station 1.)  4.   RXT102240HELLO CR/LF    : Master Station 1 outputs data to PC. 5.   When Slave Station 2 enters into the area of Master Station 2, it receives the radio beacon from Master Station 2 and its frequency is fixed at No.8.  6.  @TXT102240MAIL CR/LF :  Issue the transmit command to master stations. Be noted that the sender address is 240, global addressing. 7.  Global addressed master stations are transmit data to slave station. Using the global addressing, that is, three master stations transmit the same data at the same time. Accordingly, it is not necessary to aware where slave station is. Only the slave station who has the same address receives the data. (In this case, Slave Station 2.)  Rev. 050415-01.1

Page  54  FRH-SD07TU/TB Manual 4.2.4  Repeater Example (Mode 4) The FRH-SD07TU/TB can be used as a repeater to extend the wireless communication range or eliminate null zones caused by obstructions. The following example uses one repeater and two modems.                                                            •  Communication through the repeater approximately doubles the communication time delay.  Modem 1  Modem 2 Repeater ObstacleFigure 3–10:  Repeater 4.2.4.1   Communication Through a Repeater (Mode 4) •  When two modems cannot reliably communicate because of excessive distance or obstructions, a third modem can act as a repeater. The repeater is placed in a position where it can communicate with both modems. •  Although PC or terminal equipment is used to configure the modem as a repeater, it is not necessary to connect PC or terminal to the repeater once it is configured and functioning normally. The repeater can operate in a stand-alone mode. •  Multiple repeaters can be used in a network, but stations can only communicate to other stations through one repeater. Communication through two or more repeaters is not possible. •  When communicating through a repeater , the repeater transmit commands (TXR, TBR, and RTY) must be used. •  When using a repeater , all modems in the radio-network must be set to the same fixed frequency.

Page  118  FRH-SD07TU/TB Manual 7.1  Headerless Packet Transmission Mode  7.1.1  Operation in the headerless packet transmission mode The headerless packet transmission mode (mode 5) is a specific transmission mode to set transmission data without the packet header, employing the protocol of the packet transmission mode. Parameters such as receiver or repeater addresses are set either by the memory register or by the command. A transmission data packet is automatically terminated by the specific character (terminator). Command responses (P1, P0) are not output.  In the headerless packet transmission mode, since the transmission data is no longer to be issued as the transmission command. At the end to end of the wired link, existing upper layer application protocol can be used without awareness of the wireless link protocol.  This mode can communicate with the normal packet transmission mode (mode 3 and 4) interactively. This mode cannot be used in the RS485 mode. 7.1.1.1   Format of the headerless packet transmission mode In the headerless packet transmission mode, no response (P1, P0) following the transmission command is output. Instead of outputting the receive header or the CR/LF code, the specific characters (terminator) is output which separates data to a transmission packet at the sender end.   Since the transmission packet contains the sender’s address, data format (text or binary mode) and the repeater address, the headerless packet transmission mode is compatible with the normal packet transmission mode and the interactive communication can be performed between them.  The transmission and receiving formats in the headerless packet transmission mode are as follows.  1.   Packet transmission mode (for the reference below) Sender:  @TXT002HELLO CR/LF  ->  Receiver: RXT001HELLO CR/LF 2.   Headerless packet transmission mode (when terminator is CR/LF) Sender:  @HELLO CR/LF  ->  Receiver:  HELLO CR/LF 3.   When the receiver is in the packet transmission mode (text mode) Sender:  @HELLO CR/LF ->  Receiver:  RXT001HELLO CR/LF 4.   When the receiver is in the packet transmission mode (binary mode) Sender:  @HELLO CR/LF ->  Receiver:  RBN001HELLO CR/LF CR/LF  Rev. 050415-01.1

In the headerless packet transmission mode, continuous transmission is impossible because this mode is fundamentally the packet transmission mode.

The odem operates in the intermittent receive state at the average current consumption of about /20 of the Active mode. The ULTRA mode is suitable for an application where the odem does not originate transmission but only responds when it receives a call from other tation. Even current consumption is as low as 35 mA in the Active mode, the ULTRA ode consumes only 2 mA (average). Therefore, dramatic extension of the operating uration time is achieved in the battery powered operation. It is particularly effective for ortable applications where battery powered. hile the modem is in the ULTRA mode, the modem does not receive the normal packet,  only receives the, special, wakeup request packet. .3.2  Operation in ULTRA mode .3.2.1   Memory register setup or to use the ULTRA mode, set memory registers as follows.

When receiving the wakeup request packet, the modem wakes up and returns to Active mode in the following sequence. With upper layer application software, the status of the modem can be monitored using DSR pin. To transit to the ULTRA mode again, once set DTR pin to Lo level and again set to the Hi level. At the rising edge of DTR, the modem transits to the ULTRA mode.

 Page  139 7.3.3  Wakeup command For these commands, refer to Chapter 6. 7.3.3.1   Direct wakeup : RLU command  Transmit Command Use the RLU command to wakeup the modem in the ULTRA mode.  Command format:   @RLU [Destination address]CR/LF  [Destination address]designates the destination (which is in the ULTRA mode) address (the set value of REG00 of the receiving station in the ULTRA mode).  Broadcasting wakeup request packet (address 255) is also available.  When the command is accepted, “P1” response is output and the wakeup request packet is transmitted.

[destination address]  designate the station address (the set value of REG00) to be waken-up.  Broadcasting wakeup (address 255) is also available. On accepting this command, the modem returns “P1” response and starts transmitting wakeup transmission request packet to the repeater. And this packet makes the repeater to transmit the wakeup request packet to the destination(s).  The transmission of wakeup request packet The sender station transmits the wakeup transmission request to the repeater, its request making the repeater to transmit the wakeup request packet to the destination(s). The wakeup transmission request is repeated to transmit at the cycle of 200 ms by the retransmission count designated by REG11 or RNO command. At the repeater, the destination address checking function set by REG18:bit 0 is valid. Accordingly, when the function is set to be valid, the repeater does not receive the wakeup transmission request unless the repeater address matches.  When the repeater receives the wakeup transmission request, it transmits the wakeup request packet to the destination station designated by [destination address] for 160 ms duration. Though ACK packet  is returned from the destination station, the repeater ignores it and does not return ACK packet to the sender station. Therefore, even when the single station is designated by the [destination address], the sender station cannot confirm whether the destination station wakes-up or not. It is necessary to issue TXR command (to attempt communication) and such to the destination station, for to confirm whether response is obtained or not from the destination station.

Therefore, to obtain high speed wakeup in the ULTRA mode, the system can specify the control frequency.

The serial signal is not output by the default setting.   the status monitor circuit operates at the clock rate set by memory register and the serial-clock of the AUX interface pin 4 is output at a half of the set rate. Among monitoring status, there are high-speed one-shot signals. Which require high speed serial-clock to sufficiently sample and output the status. Since higher clock rate results higher current consumption, its rate can be controlled by the following parameters. To realize the operation at lowest current consumption, use the default parameter which does not output any serial clock.

Before using this product, refer to the preventive measures described below. 8.6.1  Problem 1 (Spurious Packet Transmission) 8.6.1.1   Problem Description At the final retransmission, when the sender modem transmits final packets due to transmit error, ACK packet reception is started but its reception was failed, rarely the sender modem which received ACK packet starts the repetitive “spurious packet” transmission. This spurious packet format is same as that of ACK packet. In the receiver (remote) modem, this spurious packet is recognized as the normal packet and starts receiving. And from remote modem, it returns ACK to the sender modem. Again sender modem recognize this ACK packet as a normal packet and returns ACK to the remote modem. This sequence repeats until radio communication becomes error or next transmission command (such as TXT or TBN) is issued. This problem tends to occurs in a retransmission count is set to 0.

 Page  173 8.11   Glossary of Terms 1:1, 1:n, n:m Ratios indicating communication topology node architecture. The ratio 1:1 indicates a system with only two nodes communicating with each other. The ratio 1:n indicates a system with one “master” node communicating with a variable number of  “slave” nodes (also referred to as point-to-multipoint). The ratio n:m indicates a variable number of nodes communicating with a variable number of other nodes. ACK/NAK In the packet transmission mode, a specific response is sent to the transmitting modem to confirm the successful receipt of data, which is called ACK. In the transmission through the repeater, the repeater sent a specific response to the transmitting modem to convey that no ACK is returned from the destination modem by the repeater, which is called NAK. Antenna Diversity A method commonly employed to improve the signal strength of received signals. This method uses two independent antennas that receive signals differing in phase and amplitude resulting a difference in the two antenna positions. Either the two signals are summed or the strongest is accepted. The method of checking transmitted data, used on virtually all high-speed data communications systems. The sender encodes an error-detection field based on the contents of the message and the receiver recalculates the field and compares it with the one it received. If they match, an “ACK” (acknowledgement) is transmitted to the sender. If they do not match, in some case, a “NAK” (negative acknowledgment) is returned and the sender retransmits the message. Asynchronous Communication In this operation, the transmitting and receiving modems confirm the start and end of  1-byte data with the signal level (start bit and stop bit). As being simpler than the synchronous system which requires to send the clock signal in addition to data, this system is widely prevailing as the communication system of PCs. RS-232C interface is originally the standard of the electric signal level, but actually it is called as the asynchronous operation. Bit A contraction of the term “binary data”. A bit is the smallest unit of digital information and is typically represented by a zero or one. bps, or bits per second The number of bits transferred per second. Break Signal One of a signal control signal. The data line (TxD/RxD) remains in the “Lo” state for more than 1 byte (may be for several 100 ms). When data are sent in the ARQ, or Automatic Retransmission Request Futaba Corporation Rev. 020323-01
Page  174  FRH-SD07TU/TB Manual asynchronous communication, a start bit and a stop bit are attached to separate a byte data. For example, even if the data is “11111111”, there are the “Hi” state and the “Lo” state for each byte. However, the break signal keeps the “Lo” state for more than 1 byte (generally, for more than 3 bytes).  In the Modes 1 and 2 (in other FRH series employs), the break signal can be used as the command header. Byte Originally from the expression “by eights” it represented a group of 8 bits. Today a byte still represents a set of bits but of lengths specific to the computer or device being used and can vary from 4 to 16 bits or more. Common byte lengths are from 7 to 12 bits. Carrier sensing In the packet transmission mode, frequencies are checked before transmission to prevent the coincident transmission caused by multiple modems communicating in the contention mode. This type of checking is called carrier sensing. As the generally used term, carrier sensing means to check frequencies whether radio wave exists or not. But with FRH-SD07TU/TB, carrier sensing function is enabled by the correlation sensing, which is the specific feature of spread spectrum communication. Command connection mode This is one of the connection methods in the data transparent mode, the transmitting modem designates the receiving address with the command to request connection. After receiving the response from the receiving modem, the communication link is established. Disconnection is also enabled by command. Communication switching among multiple modems is possible. Constant Connection Mode In Constant Connection Mode, two FRH modems maintain a constant wireless link whether or not regular data packets are being transmitted. Also see Automatic Connection Mode. CTS, or Clear To Send In a standard RS-232C interface, this is an output for DTE devices and an input for DCE devices. This signal is typically used to control flow from the DTE to the DCE device. Data Transparent Mode Operation in which digital transmission between terminal equipments occurs without the user or equipment being aware of any special intermediate processing or equipment. This mode allows easy installation and compatibility of the FRH with many systems and with no special hardware or software requirements. Data packets are automatically assembled, transmitted and received without the need for specific commands as are used in packet transmission mode. Also see p.18 PACKET TRANSMISSION MODE.

Flow Control Hardware Flow Control:   The data flow is controlled by using RTS and CTS control lines of the RS-232C interface. The FRH-SD07TU/TB outputs the received radio packet data when the RTS input is ON and stops outputting the received radio packet data when the RTS input is OFF. When the transmission buffer is near to overflow, the FRH-SD07TU/TB switches the CTS output OFF and requests the terminal equipment to stop data output. When the buffer becomes the receivable state, the FRH-SD07TU/TB switches t Software Flow Control:   One type of flow control of serial link, which controls data flow by transmitting andreceiving the specific control characters as data.

When the buffer becomes the receivable state, the FRH-SD07T outputs the XON character to receive the input of data. The FRH-SD07TU/channels can be used independently or by grouping several frequencies and allowing the FRH modem to automatically selecting a frequency from within the group. Mode 1 uses eight groups of three frequencies each. The frequency group configuration oModes 2, 3, and 4 can be changed using the associated memory registers. Separate FRH systems can be set to different frequency groups and used in the same area without interfering with each other. ncy Hopping A spread sp Rev. 050415-01.1

This technique provides high levels of communication reliability and security. In the modulation system generally used for radio, the bandwidth is about the same as the frequency of the data signal. But in the spread spectrum system, the bandwidth is much wider than the frequency of the data signal (tens to several thousands times), in other word, the spectrum of the data signal can be spread in a broad range, thus this system is calledthe spread spectrum (SS).   i.e. FrequencyFrequency Hopping.
