1. Product Overview The RF Neulink NL6000 is an integrated radio modem that provides reliable bi- directional RS-232 data transmissions on a land mobile radio channel. Configurable RS-232, radio, and packet data parameters provide the NL6000 with the flexibility necessary for use in both simple and complex networks. In its simplest configuration, the NL6000 transmits wireless data from one modem to another to send instructions and receive a response. In many cases, the factory- configured defaul

The NL6000 s powerful and efficient packet communications protocol provides a solution to many of the problems affecting conventional wireless data networks. Bursts of noise, RF interference, inter-modulation, overload, and signal fade can corrupt and interrupt radio data links. The NL6000 eliminates these problems through the use of advanced technologies including sophisticated forward error corr ection tec hnol ogy. The NL6000 can trans mit in any of the following frequenc y ranges: • VHF 136

Single and Multi- Point Addressing An NL6000 can be configured to transmit to a single unit, a group of units, or to broadcast to all units within range. Acknowledgement The NL6000 can be configured to request an acknowledgement (ACK) from the destination modem with each transmission. If it does not receive an ACK, the unit can retransmit a specified number of times. Auto-Transmit The NL6000 will automatically trigger transmission of data over the RF link: The NL6000 will wait for characters to

The NL6000 comes factory-configured for the broadcast mode of operation and tuned and tested on the default frequency of 464.550 MHz (UHF), 154.6000 MHz (VHF) and 221.5 MHz for the 216-235 MHz band. The NL6000 operates automatically after you properly install the physical units and configure the software parameters. In most networks with more than two units, you must set the MYID and TOID parameters before operation. Sections 5 and 6 discuss the available software parameters and the procedures f

If a reliable path does not exist between a remote unit and a base station, you can configure one or more NL6000 units as a repeater to reach the hidden unit. The repeater can work with both simplex and half duplex networks. See Section 5.5 for additional detail on the unique behavior of a repeater unit. You can select from three radio channel transmission modes that provide increasing levels of error control. By evaluating the signal strength and path between two modems, you can select a transm

Consider the following example of a repeater (MYID3000) configured to repeat packets transmitted from a base station (MYID2000) to a hidden remote (MYID4203). Unit MYID3000 is configured with a repeater entry that has a Trigger = TOID and ID = 4203. This entry tells unit MYID3000 to listen for packets that have a destination address of TOID4203. If the repeater receives a packet matching the criteria, it immediately repeats the packet. Figure 10 illustrates this scenario. Figure 10: Repeat from

Figure 12: Repeat to Multiple Remotes using Wildcard Likewise, it is possible to set up a single repeater entry that will repeat packets received from any member of a group of hidden remotes. In Figure 13, a repeater entry with a Trigger = MYID and ID = 42FF repeats any packet received from the group of remotes matching MYID42FF. Figure 13: Repeat from Multiple Remotes using Wildcard If you plan to use more than one frequency in your network, frequency planning is important when you use repeater
