Company Confidential 6 Raveon Technologies Corp.
2. Overview
The M6 RF radio modem module is capable of high-speed narrow-band data
communications and is compatible with Raveon’s M7 and M6 series Radio
Modems. Its powerful microprocessor enables it to perform as both a data
radio modem and a paging receiver. It contains a receiver, a transmitter, and
modem, creating an easy-to-use transparent data radio link. The M6’s user
interface is asynchronous digital data into and out of the M6. Modem
operation is virtually transparent to the user and the configuration of the
modem is via the user serial port. The M6 module may be put in Raveon’s
Tech Series enclosures with a myriad of various I/O interface options.
The command-line interface is similar to Raveon’s other data radio products,
and configuring the mode is very easy. The M6 also has a digital input pin
that may be used to electrically change modem types between data modem
and paging modes.
The M6 is an easy to use and its re-programmability makes it extremely
versatile. Most parameters within the modem may be re-configured to
optimize it for specialized operations, extended range, or higher data
throughput.
