8 Network options
RFD900x support firmware for simple pair (peer to peer), asynchronous mesh network and multipoint
network. Available for download from the website (see “Useful Links”).
8.1 Simple pair (P2P)
The out-of-the-box firmware of the RFD900x radio modem is set to work in simple pair mode. If you
purchased a bundle, you are only required to connect the antennas and supply to initiate the link. As
soon as the pair synchronises, the on-board LED will become solid green.

8.2 Asynchronous non-hopping mesh
The asynchronous non-forwarding mesh firmware offers a straight forward communication option that
allows the user to quickly transmit and receive data across a great distance between two or more
nodes. Figure 9-2 depicts this communication topology. If all the nodes are within range and have
compatible parameters, communication between them will succeed.
