AeroComm CL4490-1000 Network Card User Manual


 
CL4490 User’s Manual
Full Duplex: This mode restricts Client radios to transmitting on odd numbered frequency
hop bins and the Server to even numbered frequency hop bins. Though the RF hardware is
still technically half duplex, it makes the transceiver seem full duplex. This can cause overall
throughputs to be cut in half. Note: All transceivers on the same network must have the
same setting for Full Duplex.
Modem Mode: Full modem handshaking is supported by the transceivers when Modem
Mode is enabled. Modem Mode is incompatible with RS-485Interface. Enables DCD, DTR,
DSR and Ring Indicator control lines.
4.1.1.3 PC Settings
Port: Serial communications port of the PC connected to the CL4490 unit.
Baud Rate: Must equal the Interface Baud Rate setting of the CL4490 unit that is about to
be programmed.
System Config: Type of CL4490 network to be configured. Valid choices are Point-to-
Point (one Server and one Client) or Point-to-Multipoint (one Server and multiple Clients).
Attention: When setting up a Point-to-Point network the Server’s Destination address
must be set to the Client’s MAC Address.

Section 4.2 Changing CL4490 Settings, then PC Setting Baud Rate must be set to the
same Baud Rate to allow proper programming of the units.
