2.0 PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The transceiver is a software-configurable, industrial radio for use in licensed data acquisition
networks. It may be interfaced with a variety of data control equipment including remote termi-
nal units (RTUs), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), flow computers, and similar devices.
Data interface connections may be made for both serial (RS-232/RS-485) and Ethernet protocols.
It is designed for use in both polled networks and report-by-exception (push) systems.
The radio employs digital signal processing (DSP) technology and a fully digital transmit and
receive IF chain to provide robust communications even under adverse conditions. DSP technol-
ogy also helps eliminate the effects of component variations or temperature changes, resulting in
optimized performance.
2.1 Front Panel Connectors and Indicators
Figure 2 shows the transceiver's front panel connectors and indicators. These items are refer-
enced in the installation steps and in various other locations in the manual. The transceiver's
LED functions are described in Table 10 on Page 29.
2.2 Key Product Features
The transceiver is designed to meet the demanding needs of today's wireless networks in a com-
pact and rugged package. It offers an array of features in a single hardware platform:
• Software-configurable via a built-in Device Manager — no manual controls or adjustments.
• Media Access Control (MAC) to prevent data collisions when two or more radios try to use
the radio channel at the same time.
• Available encryption of payload data (AES 128-bit)
• Supports Virtual LAN (VLAN) operation
