WIT2410

remotes to link to any base station they can hear, acquiring whatever hop pattern is

required. In this mode a remote can only change base stations once it is no longer

registered with a base station.

Set Lockout Key

Allows further network segregation beyond the network number. This feature allows

multiple co-located networks in which global roaming is enabled. In global roaming, a

remote is allowed to link to any base regardless of the network number as long as the

lockout key agrees. By using different lockout keys, the bases to which remotes link can

be limited or segregated.

Set Hopping Pattern

The WIT2410 has 64 preprogrammed hopping patterns (also referred to as network

numbers). By using different hopping patterns, nearby or co-located networks can avoid

interfering with each other’s transmissions. Even if both networks tried to use the same

frequency, on the next hop they would be at different frequencies.

Set Transmit Power

The WIT2410 has two preset transmit power levels, 10mW (10dBm) and 100mW

(20dBm). Control of the transmit power is provided through this command. Default is

100mW.

Read Receive Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI)

This command reports the relative signal strength averaged over the last 10 hops. This

command returns a one byte value that is proportional to received signal strength and can

range from 00H to FFH. Typical values range from 30H to 80H where the lower the

number the lower the received signal strength and the higher the number the higher the

received signal strength. This is a relative indication and does not directly correspond to

a field strength number. This is available only at the remotes as the base station is the

only source that transmits on a regular basis. Plus, in a point-to-multipoint network the

base will receive different signal strengths from each remote.

Set Point-to-Point Direct Mode

Sets point-to-point mode that is recommended for point-to-point applications, especially

where the remote radio is mobile and may leave and re-enter the range of the base. This

mode fixes the remote handle assignment to always be 30H and improves the re-

registration process. Must be set in both base and remote radios.

Base DCD Mode Enable

Since the most general application for WIT radios is in a multipoint network, normally

DCD is always asserted at the base. There is an optional mode that may be enabled for

point-to-point networks by setting 'ww1'. This will assert DCD whenever one or more

remotes are registered. For point-to-point use, 'pn' should be set to 1. The default is

'ww0'.
