HN-591
Data Transmission
The HN-591 can be used as either a base or as a remote. The HN-591 can usually
transmit to 1000 feet indoors and in excess of 20 miles outdoors under ideal
conditions.
The automatic repeat requests (ARQ) and multinode protocol are transparent to the
user equipment. User data rates of 115Kbps are supported with built-in CRC/ARQ
error protocols. Data signals are EIA RS-232 standard for Data Communications
Equipment (DCE) devices.
Data and control of the radio are passed through a standard DB9 connector. See the
following illustration for the signal description.
LED Status
The four LED indicators are included on the front panel to provide the status of the
HN-591 Indoor Base/Remote station. See the illustration below. These built-in flow
control indicators allow you to quickly check the operational status.

Power Connection
The HN-591 is supplied with a 110VAC wall mount power supply. However, you can
operate the HN-591 from any well-filtered 5 VDC power source. The power supply
should be capable of providing 1 Amp of current.
The HN-591 also has a built in battery pack that allows use of the modem without
being tethered to a power source. The battery pack charges any time the unit is
plugged in. An amber colored LED on the rear of the unit next to the power
connector indicates that the internal battery pack is charging.
Antenna Connection
The RF signal is brought in on a reverse male SMA jack connector located on the
back panel. The HN-591 comes with a 2 dB omni-directional antenna. Be sure to
securely fasten the antenna.
