General Information
Introduction
This document is the User’s Manual for the GINA transceiver Models :
6000N-5,6000NV-5,8000N-5 and 8000NV-5.
NOTE:
Read this manual completely before you try to use any GINA
product.
GINA 6000N-5 / 6000NV-5
Model 6000N-5 is a standard GINA transceiver. Model 6000NV-5 has an
additional voice handset for audio communication. GINA 6000N-5 is a
stand-alone, high frequency data transceiver using spread spectrum tech-
nology. GINA 6000N-5 has a standard RS-232 serial data interface that
can be driven asynchronously 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 to 128 Kbps. GINA 6000N-5 can perform point-to-point or
point-to-multipoint communication. GINA 6000N-5 contains a packet
controller module with a custom communication protocol. GINA 6000N-
5 implements a subset of standard packet framing with a built-in Cyclic
Redundancy Check (CRC). As the GINA 6000N-5 performs a CRC, if
data is corrupted, GINA 6000N-5 will discard that data. To assure accu-
rate data transmission your system (peripheral) is responsible for error
verification.
GINA 8000N-5 / 8000NV-5
Model 8000N-5 is a standard GINA transceiver. Model 8000NV-5 has an
additional voice handset for audio communication. GINA 8000N-5 is a
stand-alone, high frequency data transceiver using spread spectrum tech-
nology. GINA 8000N-5 has a standard RS-232 serial data interface that
can be driven asynchronously at rates to 38.4 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 8000N-5 can perform point-to-point or
point-to-multipoint communication. GINA 8000N-5 contains a packet
controller module with a custom communication protocol that provides
communications handshaking, error detection, packet sequencing, flow
control, and supports three repeaters to extend the communication range.
GINA 8000N-5 implements a subset of standard packet framing with a
built in Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC). As the GINA 8000N-5 per-
forms a CRC, if data is corrupted GINA will discard that data. To assure
accurate data transmission your system (peripheral) is responsible for
error verification.
