Point-to-Point/SIK Firmware User Manual
2 Peer-to-peer Network
The peer-to-peer firmware offers straight forward data communication between two nodes. Figure
4-2 depicts this very simple communication topology. Whenever two nodes have compatible
parameters and are within range, communication will be established after the units synchronise. A
solid green LED state indicates synchronisation has been successful.
Figure 4-2: Simple pair mode
If operating with other RFD modems on the same band, you will need to set different network ID’s to
each pair to distinguish the networks from each other. It is also advisable when possible to set the
different pairs on different frequencies. This reduces packet collision, communication instability and
other interference that may reduce the effectiveness of the links.
Given the spectral proximity between the upper and lower bands, enough physical separation is
required to operate radios communicating in separate bands without interference. Users must
ensure the power output setting and antenna configuration are suitable for their regulations and
application prior to deployment.
