Telex Model XO-AP Access Point
General Description:
The Telex model XO-AP transceiver is
intended for use as an access point between
multiple XO-1 beltpacks clients. This
enables the beltpacks to communicate with
each other over-the-air.
The XO-AP uses 802.11 technology to
receive / transmit within one channel of the
1 – 11 (2.412 to 2.462 GHz) channels of the
2.4 GHz ISM band. Its operation is license
free.
The transmit and receive antennas are
connected via reverse TNC connectors on
the top of the unit.
The XO-AP is powered via an internal Li-
Ion battery that will provide up to 14 hours
of run time at room temperature. It may also
be run off the AC charger unit supplied with
the system.
The front panel provides an on/off switch, a
power light, an AP active light, an RF
channel display and a pushbutton for
changing RF channels.
