7. Base Station HW 8660
The HW 8660 is the base station for radio data transmission. It is suitable for communication with de-
vices containing Radiomodules of Höft & Wessel.
Peripheral devices like modem, printer etc. can be connected via serial interfaces.
The radio base station is network-compatible, applied protocol is TCP/IP via ethernet.
It is the main task of the Base Station, to relieve the receiving PC from data transmission tasks with criti-
cal time conditions. The Base Station is capable to perform data telecommunication with MDEs via ISDN
terminal adapters, modem or interfaces automatically.
The Base Station HW 8660 is connected directly with a local network via ethernet allowing easy scaling of
the central system setup. Any number of MDEs can be applied for the network depending only on the
number of desired communication lines. One Base Station can serve up to four lines at the same time.
NOTE!
1. Use connections only as specified in operating manual (note on rear side).
2. Do not connect with any telecommunication means, like e.g. ISDN-components.
