FunctionIntroduction
TheDIYwalkie-talkiebasedontheEWM201-470A30Smodulesupportsthree transmissionmodes:unicast,multicast,andbroadcast:
1.Physicalisolation:Setthesamefrequencypointfordevicesthatneedtocommunicate witheachother.
2.Grouping:ConfigurethesamePANID(PersonalAreaNetworkID)toforma communicationgroup.
3.Unicast:SettheDESTID(DestinationID)toanon-zerovaluetoenablepoint-to-point communicationwithaspecificdevice.
Fordetailedconfigurationsteps,refertotheEWM201-470A30Smoduleuser manual.
Inadditiontothethreetransmissionmodes,thewalkie-talkiesupportsboth half-duplexandfull-duplexcommunication:
