The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) and Industry Canada (IC) require equipment that contains a Tropos 1410-B to have a label on the outside of the product that shows the FCC and IC ID numbers. The label should say the following:...
The 1410-B is optimized for embedded applications. While other Tropos routers are stand-alone devices, the Tropos 1410-B is designed to be integrated into other devices. For example, a Tropos 1410-B can be integrated into a pole-mounted transformer, enabling the transformer to communicate health and power quality data as well as function as a node in the mesh network.
Integration of the 1410-B requires physically mounting the unit in a safe and reliable manner, powering the unit, connecting the data interfaces and connecting the antennas. The following sections describe these steps. Figure 1 is an outline drawing of the 1410-B showing the location of components referred to in the following sections.
1” high. There are six mounting holes on the 1410-B main board designed for 4-40 screws (see Figure 1). The 1410-B should be mounted on stand-offs or bosses so that there is a minimum of 0.5” of clearance on all sides of the unit.
Power - Table 1: Ethernet Port Pin Assignments Serial The 1410-B provides a dual serial interface on RJ-45 port 2. The integrator needs to configure the 1410-B for either RS-232 or RS-485 operation as follows: (Configuration instructions to be added) The serial interface can support multiple serial connections.
1410-B’s connectors. 14-Pin Interface There is a 14-pin ribbon cable interface on the daughter board that can be used to power the 1410-B with a regulated 5 VDC supply (see “Power” above) and for direct TTL-level serial communications. The connector is a Digi-Key A33161-ND.
7.4 dBi monopole antennas. Note: The 1410-B is FCC and Industry Canada approved for use with monopole antennas with a gain of 7.4 dBi or less. Please consult Tropos for any applications requiring other antennas.
Configuration Configuration of the 1410-B is covered in the current version of the Tropos User Guide for Release 7.9 or higher. Recommended Testing Tropos recommends that the OEM integrator perform the following tests to validate the integration of the 1410-B into their product. These are provided as guidelines to the OEM. Actual testing is the responsibility of the OEM.
7320 router that will function as the gateway. Using the configuration shown in Figure 3, perform the following tests: Conduct a ping flood test from the computer to the 1410-B. Verify operation up to 25% duty cycle. Conduct tests from a communications controller (for example, a DNP3 master station) to the OEM equipment to for all supported commands.
The use of wireless devices in hospitals is restricted to the limits set forth by each hospital. Servicing the 1410-B The 1410-B has no user serviceable parts. For any service-related issues, contact Tropos Customer Support (support@tropos.com). Page 14 of 15...
