T
iming Considerations
If
you use the TI505 NIM
with a dedicated short-haul RF modem, the NIM has a one-sec
-
ond
time-out between the transmission of its RS-232-C Request to Send (RTS) and the
RS-232-C
Clear to Send (CTS) response.
This
time-out value is set at one second to enable the RF device to switch from receive to
transmit
without losing access to the transmission media.
NOTE
This
extended time-out feature is an important consideration when se
-
lecting a TIWAY I-compatible RF Modem. Transmitter/Receiver turn-
around
time must be less than the one second network time-out.
An
additional half-second delay from Clear to Send (CTS) to start of transmission can be
added
by setting the Keydelay Switch to the open position. (Chapter 3 provides addition
-
al
information concerning dipswitch settings.) This may be required to allow the trans
-
mitter
to reach full power before start of transmission. There is also a one-second wait
period for DCD to turn off in a half duplex modem.
