MHX2421 Operating Manual: Chapter2 General

2. General 
 
2.0 Product Overview 
The MHX2421 is a high-performance embedded wireless data transceiver.  
Operating in the 2400 - 2483.5 MHz ISM band, this a spread-spectrum 
module is capable of providing reliable wireless data transfer between 
almost any type of equipment.  The small-size and superior RF performance 
of this module make it ideal for many applications.  
 
While a pair of MHX2421 modules can link two terminal devices (“point-
to-point” operation); multiple modules can be used together to create a 
network of various topologies, including “point-to-multipoint” and 
“repeater” operation. Multiple independent networks can operate 
concurrently, so it is possible for unrelated communications to take place in 
the same or a nearby area without sacrificing privacy or reliability. 
 
1.1  Features
 
Key features of the MHX2421 include: 
  transmission within a public, license-exempt band of the radio 
spectrum

 – this means that it can be used without access fees 
(such as those incurred by cellular airtime). 
 a serial I/O data port  with handshaking and hardware flow 
control, allowing the MHX2421 to interface directly to any 
equipment with an asynchronous serial interface. 
 ease of installation and use – the MHX2421 module uses a 
subset of standard AT style commands, very similar to those 
used by traditional telephone line modems. 
  all units in a system are physically identical, and can be 
configured as a master, repeater or slave using the AT 
command set. No hardware modifications are required 
  128 sets of user-selectable pseudo-random hopping patterns, 
intelligently designed to offer the possibility of separately 
operating multiple networks while providing security, 
reliability and high tolerance to interference. 
  encryption key with 65536 user-selectable values to maximize 
security and privacy of communications. 
 32-bit of CRC error detection and auto re-transmit to provide 
accuracy and reliability of data.

 902-928 MHz, which is license-free within North America; may need to be factory-
configured differently for some countries.
