Definitions The following terms are used throughout this document. Bit dribble Extraneous bits delivered at the end of a data transmission. Equivalent to a “squelch tail” in voice systems. Integra-T does not have bit dribble. COM Port The Communications Port of Integra-T. This port is configured as DCE and is designed to connect directly to DTE.

Physical Description For equipment purchased from JDT: Integra-TR consists of a logic PCB (which in- cludes the modem circuitry) and a separate radio module. The two boards plug directly together and slide into the rails of an extruded aluminum Johnson Data Telemetry Corp.
RTU or PLC Setup PC opened. 1.10 Network Application Integra-TR is suited to a variety of network ap- plications. Its primary design goal was to satisfy the needs of SCADA systems using RTUs or Figure 1 - Basic connections required PLCs in either point to point or point–multipoint...
