GINA Models 6000N-5, 6000NV-5, 8000N-5, & 8000NV-5
Overview
Models 6000N-5 and 8000N-5 are standard GINA transceivers. Model
6000NV-5/8000N-5 have an additional voice handset for audio communi-
cation. GINA 6000N-5/8000N-5 are stand-alone, high frequency data
transceivers using spread spectrum technology. GINA 6000N-5/8000N-5
have a standard RS-232 serial data interface that can be driven asynchro-
nously at rates to 38.4 K baud. GINA 6000N-5 receives and transmits
data in the frequency range of 902 to 928 MHz at air speeds of up to 128
Kbps. GINA 8000N-5 receives and transmits data in the frequency range
of 2.404 - 2.478 GHz at air speeds to 128 Kbps. GINA 6000N-5/8000N-5
can perform point-to-point or point-to-multipoint communication. GINA
6000N-5/8000N-5 contains a packet controller module with a custom
communication protocol. GINA 6000N-5/8000N-5 implements a subset
of standard packet framing with a built-in Cyclic Redundancy Check
(CRC). As the GINA 6000N-5/8000N-5 performs a CRC, if data is cor-
rupted, GINA will discard that data. To assure accurate data transmission
your system (peripheral) is responsible for error verification.
Operation
This section contains operating instructions for the GINA transceiver.
GINA Programming Overview
GINA is a transparent communication device. Depending on your periph-
eral software, GINA can be controlled to work as a point-to-point or
point-to-multipoint transceiver. Figure 2-1 is a flowchart illustrating the
command structure overview.
