1.0 DN-24 Series 2.4 GHz Serial Modems

The DN-24 series 2.4 GHz serial modems provide a low cost, ready-to-use solution for robust wireless

data communications in the 2.4 GHz ISM band. There are currently two products in the DN-24 series, the

DN-24G and the DN-24GI. The DN-24G provides an RS-232C serial interface with optional hardware flow

control. The DN-24GI offers a selectable 3-wire RS-232C interface or a two-wire, multi-drop RS-485

interface. All DN-24 series modems are based on Murata’s DNT24 frequency hopping spread spectrum

(FHSS) transceiver, and can communicate with other DNT24-based modems and sensor nodes, as well

as customer developed products. DN-24 series modems are supplied with a dipole antenna and a wall-

plug power supply. A DN-24 transmits data at 250 kbps. The RF output power can be set up to 100 mW

EIRP using the supplied 2 dBi dipole antenna. Optional high-gain directional and omni-directional

antennas are available to extend operating range where local regulations allow it. DN-24 series modems

are well suited for sensor and data networks carrying moderate traffic that need robust communications in

locations with non-ideal RF propagation and/or where RF interference or noise are present.

Key Features of the DN-24 Series 2.4 GHz Serial Modems include:

-2.4 GHz wireless connectivity for RS-232C or RS-485 serial interfaces

-Optional 128-Bit AES Encryption

-Point-to-point, Point-to-multipoint, Peer-to-peer and

Store & Forward Capabilities

-Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum Transceiver

-250 kbps RF Data Rate

-Transmitter Power up to 100 mW EIRP with 2 dBi Antenna

-FCC, Canadian IC Certified and CE Marked for Unlicensed Operation

2.0 DN-24 Systems

DN-24 wireless serial modems can be configured to operate in one of three modes - base, remote or

router. A base controls a DN-24 system, and interfaces to an application host such as a PC. A remote

simply functions to transmit or receive data. A router alternates between functioning as a remote on one

hop and a network base on the next hop. When acting as a remote, the router stores messages it

receives from its parent, and then repeats the messages to its child radios when acting as a network

base. Likewise, a router will store messages received from its child radios when acting as a base, and

repeat them to its parent when acting as a remote. Any message addressed directly to a router is

processed by the router rather than being repeated.

2.1 Point-to-Point Systems

A DN-24 system contains at least one network. The simplest DN-24 topology is a point-to-point system,

as shown in Figure 2.1.1. This system consists of a base and one remote forming a single network. Point-

to-point systems are often used to replace wired serial connections.

DN24G/GI Series User Guide Rev. 2.0 01-09-15 Page 5 of 44 www.murata.com

Figure 2.1.1

2.2 Point-to-Multipoint Systems

Figure 2.2.1 shows the topology of a point-to-multipoint (star) system, which consists of a base and more

than one remote in a single network. Point-to-multipoint systems are typically used for data, sensor and

alarm systems. While most traffic in a point-to-multipoint system is between the base and the remotes,

DN-24 technology also allows for peer-to-peer communication from one remote to another.

Figure 2.2.1

DN24G/GI Series User Guide Rev. 2.0 01-09-15 Page 6 of 44 www.murata.com

2.3 Store-and-Forward Systems

Figure 2.3.1 shows the topology of a store-and-forward system, which consists of a base, one or more

routers, one or more remotes, and two or more networks. Networks in a store-and-forward system form

around the base and each router. The base and the routers are referred to as the parents of the networks

they form. The rest of the radios in each network are referred to as child radios. Note that a router is a

child of the base or another router while being the parent of its own network. Each network parent

transmits beacons to allow child radios to synchronize with its hopping pattern and join its network.

Different frequency hopping patterns are used by the parent radios in a system, minimizing interference

between networks.

Store-and-forward systems are used to cover larger areas than is possible with point-to-point or point-to-

multipoint systems. The trade-off in store-and-forward systems is longer delivery times due to receiving

and retransmitting a message several times. Store-and-forward systems are especially useful in

applications such as agriculture where data is only collected periodically.

2.4 DN-24 Product Descriptions

There are currently two products in the DN-24 series, the DN-24G and the DN-24GI. The DN-24G

provides an RS-232C serial interface. The DN-24GI offers a selectable RS-232C interface or a two-wire,

multi-drop RS-485 interface. DN-24 series modems are based on Murata’s DNT24 frequency hopping

spread spectrum (FHSS) transceiver, and can communicate with other DNT24-based modems and

sensor nodes, as well as customer developed products.

DN-24 series modems are supplied with a reverse SMA dipole antenna and a universal wall-plug power

supply. DN-24 modems transmit data at 250 kbps. The transmitter output power can be set up to 100 mW

EIRP using the supplied 2 dBi dipole antenna. Optional high-gain directional and omni-directional

antennas are available from Murata to extend operating range where allowed by local regulations.

DN-24 series modems are well-suited for sensor and data networks carrying moderate traffic that need

robust communications in locations with non-ideal RF propagation and/or where RF interference or noise

are present.

As shown in Figures 2.4.1 and 2.4.2, serial data to/from a DN-24G is routed through an RS232C signal

converter. In the case of a DN-24GI, serial data is routed through an RS-232C/RS-485 signal converter.

When terminal 3 is left unconnected on the DN-24GI, serial communication is 3-wire RS-232C. When

terminal 3 is connected to terminal 2 or 4, serial communication is 2-wire, multi-drop capable RS-485.

Terminal 3 has no function in a DN-24G. The switching regulator used in all DN-24 modems supports a

wide voltage range on the DC power input, from 9 to 24 Vdc.

4.0 Installation

4.1 Mounting and Location

The DN-24G and DN-24GI case outline drawings are shown in Figures 4.1.1 and 4.1.2. The supplied

antenna is hinged, allowing it to be set vertically with the case mounted either horizontally or vertically.

The DN-24 case is designed for indoor use. It must be installed in a weather proof enclosure when used

outdoors, such as a NEMA 4X enclosure. The enclosure must be made of plastic or other materials with

low RF attenuation to avoid compromising antenna performance. Metal enclosures are not suitable for

use with internal antennas as they will block antenna radiation and reception.

DN-24 modems should be mounted at least six feet above the floor (ground) to achieve good

communication reliability in a typical office or retail location. To achieve maximum range and reliability,

especially in industrial locations, the DN-24 should be mounted as high as practical. Murata offers a

number of high gain antennas that can be used to further extend the DN-24’s range. The use of these

antennas is not allowed in all geographical regions; contact RFM’s technical service department for

additional details.
