1WCS - Transceiver Manual

1

This guide is intended to provide information on the transceiver component of Pick­Point’s Will Call System (WCS). This guide briefly covers it’s intended use, physi­cal features, functional requirements, physical and logical setup and includes a di­agram that visually reresents how the transceiver works with the overall system.

Caution:

This user manual shall be used solely for the intent for which it was created; to provide
information on the transceiver used with PickPoint’s WIll Call System (WCS). Any
changes or modifications not expressly approved by the manufacturer - Dragonfire Group
Holdings LTD. - can void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

1.1 Description

This is a physical device that shares common
circuitry that allows it to transmit and receive
radio signals within a single housing. See

This device is used to receive commands from
the inteleWare software via a Local Area Net­ work (LAN) connection in order to transmit the
command to the receiving device; the hanger.

1

At this time this device unidirectionally trans­mits to the hangers. It does not receive any
signals and therefore does not require use of a
seperate signal range.

1.2 Functional Requirements

This section summarizes requirements and gen-

eral speci
ernet connections.

1.2.1 Power

The transceiver has a power input that re-

quires 250 mA at 3.6 V via an 120 VAC
adapter. See

Figure 1. Transceiver.

1.2.2 Radio Transmission

111

The following details requirements for the

wireless communication channel.

1.2.2.1 Frequency

This device transmits between 905.5 MHz

and 905.8 MHz.

1.2.2.2 Speed

The wireless data channnel is unidirec
tional and thus acts as a transmitter though
the unit can be con
for collision and error checking purposes.

1.2.2.3 Distance

The data signal transmission range is cur­ rently set to a capacity of 100 feet with a
clear line of site.

1.2.3 Ethernet

This section covers details on the Ethernet
interface.

1.2.3.1 Speed

The transceiver NIC receives data at 100MB

full duplex via Ethernet cabling.

1.2.3.2 Connector

The transceiver uses an RJ45 jack to connect

to the LAN. See Figure 3.

1.2.3.3 Protocol

The transceiver receives data via Ethernet
using the TCP protocol on Port 700.
