Channel Selection
The transceiver allows for setting the channel frequency with the
CHN_SEL0, CHN_SEL1 and CHN_SEL2 lines in a parallel manner. The
logic states of the three lines select from among eight channels. This allows
the channel to be set by DIP switches, microcontroller lines or hardwired.
The 868MHz channels are shown in Figure 25 and the 900MHz channels
are shown in Figure 26.

Baud Band Selection
There are two baud select lines (BAUD0 and BAUD1) that configure the
transceiver for the desired over-the-air data rate. The two baud select lines
choose among four baud bands, or ranges of data rate and IF bandwidth,
as shown in Figure 24.
Setting the baud band appropriately for the desired baud rate configures
the internal filters and circuitry for optimal performance at that rate. Data
can be sent in at a lower rate than specified for the band, but the sensitivity,
and therefore range, will not be as good as in a lower setting. Data can
also be sent in faster than specified by the band, but the internal filters will
cause distortion of the data stream and range will be significantly reduced.
