Cyphernet Radio Transceiver with RS232 Interface and Controller
Standard Firmware Description
The Cypernet comes complete with an EEPROM held firmware package giving the following operating perfor-
mance.
In standby mode the unit continuously searches the ether for transmissions. On detection of preamble or data
the interface signals the host that the channel is busy using the CD line and opens the RX(data) output to the
PC. The host can then look at the incoming data and respond as and if required.
Data transmission is initiated simply by sending a data packet in the above format from the DTE to the inter-
face. Upon detection of the start of a data packet (normally the start of the preamble 101010 pattern) the in-
terface automatically switches from receive to transmit mode and thereafter data is modulated onto the RF
carrier.
5ms Preamble UART Sync Character Data with or without CRC
User Programming Option
The user may purchase or construct their own in-circuit programming adaptor for the Cyphernet. This will per-
mit the user to replace the firmware supplied with their own firmware package giving them a totally cus-
tomised solution for their specific needs.
Files destined for the programmer need to be converted into binary format. This is simply ac-complished by
using one of the many standard off the shelf PIC compilers. The programming adaptor is controlled via the
parallel port of the PC. It comes complete with a DOS based package permitting both reading and writing to
the EEPROM data and program memory via the Cyphernet 9-pin D-Type connector.
