INTRODUCTION

INTRODUCTION

This

manual

applies

to

both

the

TINY-2

and

MICROPOWER-2

Packet

Controllers.

These

units

share

the

same

basic

design

and

interface

to

radios

and

computer

terminals

identically.

The

term

TINY-2/MICRO-2

is

used

throughout

this

manual!

to

refer

to

both

units

when

dealing

with

components

and

procedures

which

are

the

same

for

both

units.

The

terms

“computer

and

terminal”

are

used

interchangeably

to

refer

to

the

computer

or

terminal

used

to

communicate

with

the

packet

controller.

This

is

not

meant

to

imply

that

a

computer

is

necessary

for

operation

of

a

packet

controller.

effort

has

been

made
