Discription
It creates an RDS sub-carrier and permits the insertion of static RDS parameters (as FMB10) + EON, CT, PTYN, SLC, PIN, LINK, Paging, IH, TDC, TMC, ODA, EWS. It can be easily connected to your automation software for automatic display of titles, singers...on the car receiver (if allowed by your regulation authority). The FMB80 may be controlled through its 10BaseT Ethernet port and has an embedded web server. All the following network protocols are supported: Telnet, TCP/IP, FTP, HTTP, SNMP, SMTP, MIB integration.
