GTECH Aircon Radio (Model GWT154)
PAGE 5OF 72
2.0 KEY FEATURES
802.15.4-2006 compliant transceiver operating in the unlicensed Industrial, Scientific, and
Medical (ISM) frequency band of 2.400 – 2.4835 GHz.
Lost Link Prevention – The GWT154 provides a failsafe timeout in the event the GTECH
Terminal doesn’t receive a response from the peripheral.
The GTW 15.4 provides security:
oUses AES 128 bit authentication and packet encryption
oUses EUI-64 (MAC address) filtering to keep rogue devices off the network
oUses the GTECH Terminal for initialization and authorization of End Device
peripherals. This allows GTECH the ability to integrate the local security measures with
field service installations.
oUses a peripheral addressable firewall to exclude single or multiple peripherals from
accessing the GTECH 485 Bus
The GWT154 supports the GTECH 485 Packet Protocol over the following data interfaces:
oGTECH RS-485 (Half duplex 4-wire, DB-9)
Two pairs of uni-directional lines.
The terminal always transmits on Tx± and receives on Rx±.
Female 9-pin DSUB receptacle.
Reset-on-Break support in accordance with [3].
oUSB 2.0 Type B Mini
oInternal 3.3V UART
The following form factors are supported.
oPinned module – For new embedded designs or as an OEM module replacement
1.0” (W) x 1.33” (L) (UART two 1x10 headers)
oDongle – For existing or legacy GTECH online terminals or RS-485 peripherals
2.1” (W) x 2.6” (L) (RS-485 DB9F or USB 2.0 Type mini B interface)
The transceiver will be used only indoors.
RF power will be software selectable at 10mW (10dBm) or 63mW (18dBm) during operation
with a 1dB resolution.
An internal chip antenna is on the circuit board along with a software switchable RF connector
for an optional external antenna connection.
The transceiver derives its power from the following options.
oSpecific interface ports in the dongle configuration.
RS-485: +12V and/or +5V, 300 mA available.
USB: +5V BUS supply
oPCB pins in the OEM replacement module configuration.
oDC power connector – A wall mount power transformer with integral 6 foot cord.
Storage Environment
oTemperature: -40 to +80°C.
oRate of change: 20°C per minute
oHumidity: 10 to 90%, noncondensing.
Operating Environment
