1. Overview

The AC4490 is a member of AeroComm’s ConnexRF OEM transceiver family. The AC4490 is

designed for integration into OEM systems operating under FCC part 15.247 regulations for the 900

MHz ISM band.

The AC4490 is a cost-effective, high performance, frequency hopping spread spectrum transceiver. It

provides an asynchronous TTL/RS-485 level serial interface for OEM Host communications.

Communications include both system and configuration data. The Host supplies system data for

transmission to other Host(s). Configuration data is stored in an on-board EEPROM. All frequency

hopping, synchronization, and RF system data transmission/reception is performed by the transceiver.

These transceivers can be used as a direct serial cable replacement – requiring no special Host

software for operation. They also feature a number of On-the-Fly Control Commands providing the

OEM with a very versatile interface for any network.

AC4490 transceivers operate in a Point-to-Point or Point-to-Multipoint, Client-Server or Peer-to-Peer

architecture. One transceiver is configured as a Server and there can be one or many Clients. To

establish synchronization between transceivers, the Server emits a beacon. Upon detecting a beacon,

a Client transceiver informs its Host and a RF link is established.

This document contains information about the hardware and software interface between an AeroComm

AC4490 transceiver and an OEM Host. Information includes the theory of operation, specifications,

interface definition, configuration information and mechanical drawings.

The OEM is responsible for ensuring the final product meets all appropriate regulatory agency

requirements listed herein before selling any product.

3.1 INTERFACE SIGNAL DEFINITIONS

The table below shows the connector pin numbers and associated functions. The I/O direction is with

respect to the transceiver. All outputs are 3.3VDC levels and inputs are 5VDC TTL (with the exception

of AC4490-1x1 and AC4490-1000 transceivers which have 3.3V inputs). All inputs are weakly pulled

High and may be left floating during normal operation (with the exceptions listed for the AC4490-1x1).
