General Description Dataradio’s HiPR-900 with Parallel Decode™ is a Frequency-Hopping Spread-Spectrum wireless radio- modem that operates in the license free 902-928 MHz band using IP/Ethernet connectivity. HiPR-900 is designed for SCADA, telemetry, control, and industrial applications in Point-to-Point and Point-to- Multipoint configurations.
The HiPR-900 wireless modem consists of a logic PCB (which includes modem circuitry) and a radio module. Each logic PCB and radio module is constructed in the factory to optimize performance as a wireless modem. The two boards are installed in a cast aluminum case.
Dataradio concerning the equipment. Units sent in for repair will be returned to the customer re-tuned to the current Dataradio Test and Tune Procedure and will conform to all specifications noted in this section.
Dataradio covers return shipping costs for equipment repaired while under warranty. Units out of warranty are subject to repair service charges. Customers are responsible for shipping charges (to and from Dataradio) on units out of warranty. Return shipping instructions are the responsibil- ity of the customer.
2.2.1 Professional Installation & RF Exposure Compliance Requirements The HiPR-900 radiomodem is intended for use in the SCADA market. The HiPR-900 must be profession- ally installed and must ensure a minimum separation distance of more than 9.06 in. (23 cm) between the radiating structure and any person.
Constraints are the receiver spacing of at least 5/8 λ (wavelength) from transceiver antenna and omni- directional requirements (8in. / 21cm) For the optimum antenna spacing at the frequency you are using, consult Dataradio System Engineering. 120 40515-100a HiPR900 User Manual...
MEXR-902-BN Network application HiPR-900 is suited to a variety of network applications. Its primary design goal was to satisfy the needs of SCADA systems using RTUs or PLCs in either point-to-point or point-to-multipoint service. This sec- tion gives an overview of some common configurations.
Selection of “master” or “remote” as well as data delivery conditions is done using the web browser. 2.3.2 RF Path and communications range The reliable communication range of the HiPR-900 is dependent on terrain, RF (radio frequency) path obstacles, and antenna system. To assure reliable communications, a competent professional who can de- termine what antennae are required and whether or not a repeater is needed should study the RF path be- tween stations.
Figure 5 - Point-to-Point IP Network System HiPR-900 HiPR-900 Bridge Mode (Ethernet) connections possible Network Network A simple point-to-point connection is shown above. In this system, the user's equipment (DTE) is set up in a master-remote configuration. Ethernet network connection is also possible using bridge mode.
Online & Offline Diagnostics HiPR-900 units continually monitor and report on their environmental and operating conditions. Each transmission carries online diagnostic information that can be monitored remotely or even sent to a desig- nated host for logging and later analysis.
(default) for 19200 b/s, 8 bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. • The antenna connector for the transceiver is a female 50-ohm TNC type. The HiPR-900 is de- signed to operate with an antenna having a maximum gain of 10 dBi. Antennae with higher gain are strictly prohibited (FCC and Industry Canada).
7. Reboot to complete the connection process 4.3.2 Login Screen On the Address line of the Internet browser of your choice, type the factory-default IP address given to all HiPR-900 radiomodem units: 192.168.204.1. Press Enter. The Enter Network Pass- word screen opens. 120 40515-100a...
Dataradio recommends immediately changing the HiPR-900 unit’s IP address as well as set your own login password as part of the initial configuration (See 4.3.3.4 and 4.3.3.13). For subsequent access to the HiPR-900 unit, use the User Name and Password you configured. Note: The User Name entry is currently not an access-limiting factor.
4.3.3 Interface The HiPR-900 user interface (Figure 9) provides easy access to the various menus used to con- figure and view your network settings. The Navigation Area lists seven top-level menus, four of which expand to offer submenu. The tables starting at section 4.3.3.2 below list action of each function.
Station name identifier – Enter string up to forty characters in length Factory default ID is zero. Dataradio recommends changing it to some System ID other value unique to each HiPR-900 network to prevent collision and security reason. Remote/Master Within a HiPR network, one unit has to be configured as a master that Connection mode the remotes synchronize to.
Enter a string of any letters or numbers of at least 8 and not exceeding New Password 15 characters New Password Re-enter the new password string Encryption Disabled, Enabled All units in a network must have the same key. Enter a string of 32 (16bytes = 128 bits) hexadecimal characters (0 to F).
• Radio service monitor (IFR or equivalent). • Cable with TNC male connector to connect HiPR-900 to the service monitor. Software Requirements 5.2.1 Ping The PING command determines whether a specific IP address is accessible. It works by sending a packet to the specified address and waiting for a reply.
NSLOOKUP - Program to query Internet domain name servers. • WHOIS - Utility that returns information about a domain name or IP address. For example, if you enter a domain name such as www.dataradio.com, whois will return the name and address of the domain's owner. •...
