User Manual MRC 3040 1. General Description MRC 3040 is a wireless gateway that receives and transmits events. It operates within ISM band . It is intended for use as high-performance for robust frequency agile, half-duplex bi-directional RF links, and where stable and constant RF performance is required over the full operating range of the device. The Gateway has three main modes of operation. It can function as:
Terminal unit: the unit will receive the events and is normally connected to the computer/server that is used for processing the events. Receive/Transmit unit : the unit will receive the events from end user devices such as bracelet or pendant. It will communicate this event wirelessly to the the terminal unit or to an intermediate repeater unit. Repeater unit: It functions as the unit above but it will receive its event from another MRC 3040 gateway instead of end user devices. 2. Package Contents:
