Page 10: Part C - Network Types
E Series Ethernet Radio – User Manual Part C – Applications Part C – Network Types Introduction Fundamental to understanding the use of E Series Ethernet Radios in your system is the need for a basic understanding of the different types of radio network topologies (known as NETWORK TYPES) and the function of each radio within them (known as RADIO TYPES). -
Page 11: Point-To-Multipoint Networks (Ptmp)
E Series Ethernet Radio – User Manual Part C – Applications Point-to-Multipoint Networks (PTMP) A Point to Multipoint (PTMP) network is normally chosen when one site (i.e.: The HOST) needs to broadcast messages to multiple REMOTE sites. Point to Multipoint (PTMP) operation requires the Access Point site to have adequate RF coverage of all Remote sites. A PTMP offers the best available bandwidth and data latency when multiple remote sites are required. - Page 12 E Series Ethernet Radio – User Manual Part C – Applications Digipeater Systems A Point to Multipoint via repeater network is a variation of the Point To Multipoint network. It is normally chosen when the site where the SCADA (i.e.: Data) entry point does not have adequate RF coverage of other Remote sites in the network. The network diagram is shown below. In this network topology, the Access Point radio is configured as a Repeater.
- Page 13 E Series Ethernet Radio – User Manual Store and Forward Systems Store and forward is used as a way of extending RF coverage by repeating data messages from one site to another. This can be done globally using the inbuilt data repeating functions, or selectively using intelligent address based routing features available in some PLC/RTU protocols.

E Series Ethernet Radio – User Manual Part D – Features Part D – Features Interfaces Ethernet Interface - RJ45 The LAN port (RJ-45) is a 10/100 Base-T compliant port. This port supports both TIA/EIA-568-A & B wiring as it has Auto MDI/MDIX Auto Sensing. This means you can use both straight-through and cross-over type CAT-5 or better patch cables. -
Page 15: Power Supply
Reverse Polarity Protection The internal power supply circuitry of the ER45e has an in series diode. The fuse will not blow if reverse voltage is applied that is <= 30V DC. The EB/EH45e models DO NOT have reverse polarity protection, if reverse polarity is applied the units fuse will blow. -
Page 16: Collision Avoidance (Digital And Carrier Detect Based)
E Series Ethernet Radio – User Manual Part D – Features Collision Avoidance (Digital and Carrier Detect based) Where multiple “unsynchronised” protocols coexist on a common “multiple access” radio channel, there is always a possibility that both “hosts” may poll different “remote” devices at the same time. If both devices attempt to answer back to the single master radio at the same time, it follows that a collision could occur on the radio channel. -

Page 18: Understanding Rf Path Requirements
E Series Ethernet Radio – User Manual Part D – System Planning and Design Understanding RF Path Requirements A radio modem needs a minimum amount of received RF signal to operate reliably and provide adequate data throughput. In most cases, spectrum regulatory authorities will also define or limit the amount of signal that can be transmitted, and the transmitted power will decay with distance and other factors, as it moves away from the transmitting antenna. - Page 19 E Series Ethernet Radio – User Manual Part D – System Planning and Design obstpath.pl3 Major Repeater Site Field Site Elevation (m) 703.83 309.67 Latitude 030 43 55.92 S 030 56 24.00 S Longitude 150 38 49.51 E 150 38 48.00 E Azimuth 180.10 0.10...

E Series Ethernet Radio – User Manual Part D – System Planning and Design Tuning the Antenna There are basically two types of antennas – omni-directional and directional. Many antennas are manufactured for use over a wide frequency Omnidirectional antennas are designed to radiate signal in a 360 range. - Page 21 E Series Ethernet Radio – User Manual Part D – System Planning and Design RF Feeders and Protection The antenna is connected to the radio modem by way of an RF feeder. In choosing the feeder type, one must compromise between the loss caused by the feeder, and the cost, flexibility, and bulk of lower loss feeders.
