Introduction Overview The AXR-WAVES Wireless AXlink Virtual Emulator Server (Figure 1) is a 2-way Radio Frequency (RF) device employing spread spectrum communications. A single AXR-WAVES can communicate with up to 16 wireless TiltScreen touch panels equipped with WAV-PK or WAV-PKM Wireless Power Packs. The WAV-PK and WAV-PKM are designed to enable 2-way wireless mobility of full-sized and mini- touch panels, thus eliminating the need for permanent installation of a touch panel. Refer to t

Additionally, the WAV-LNK WaveLink transceiver (Figure 2) may be used in con- junction with one or more WAV-PM modules when a UniMount or rack mounted touch panel is used in a remote, wireless application. The WAV-LNK is ideal for Un- iMount touch panels mounted in podiums or lecterns where cabling is of concern. Figure 2 WAV-LNK transceiver Features The major features for the AXR-WAVES, WAV-LNK, WAV-PK, and WAV-PKM are described in the following paragraphs. Additionally, information for

Power management The Wave Packs incorporate advanced power management schemes that reduce overall power consumption. Power management is software-controlled by the indi- vidual touch panel program. The user tells the WavePack when to go into power conservation mode (sleep mode). Pressing the rear-mounted WAV-PK wake-up switch activates the WavePack. The WAV-PK physically provides a wake-up switch on its rear panel. The WAV- PKM wakes up when someone touches the touch panel screen. Refer to
