This document contains information about the hardware and software interface between an
AeroComm AC5124 transceiver and an OEM Host. Information includes the theory of operation,
system issues, and a basic command set for operational control of the system and transceiver.
AeroComm AC5124 transceiver and an OEM Host. Information includes the theory of operation,
system issues, and a basic command set for operational control of the system and transceiver.
The transceiver is designed to allow flexibility at the hardware interface level with a minimum number of
actual hardware pins connecting the transceiver and the OEM Host. The transceiver is controlled by a
Temic TS87C51U2 microcontroller providing program storage. A separate EEPROM provides user
configurable parameter storage.

AC5124 transceivers operate in a Point-to-Point or Point-to-Multipoint, Client/Server architecture. One
transceiver is configured as a Server and the others are configured as Clients. Data can be transmitted
from Client to Server or Server to Client, but not from Client to Client, or Server to Server.

The AC5124 runs a proprietary Carrier Sense Multiple Access (CSMA) protocol. Years of
development, testing and field operation have proven this protocol to be a stable, reliable and efficient
method for wireless network communications. Furthermore, the AeroComm protocol is configurable,
allowing the OEM to optimize system performance. There are four different Serial Interface Modes
provided by the protocol firmware. These Modes offer significant flexibility to the OEM, allowing them
to provide data in many forms including API, End Character and Fixed Packet Length with and without
Timeouts.
