Page 2: Introduction
Read this Thoroughly and carefully read this instruction sheet before programming, operating, or maintaining your S&C SpeedNet ME Radios. Familiarize yourself with the “Safety Instruction Sheet Information” on page 3. The latest instruction sheet is available online in PDF format at sandc.com/en/support/product-Literature/ . -
Page 3: Warranty
Warranty of the SpeedNet ME Radio is contingent upon the installation, configuration, and use of the SpeedNet ME Radio and software in accordance with S&C’s applicable instruction sheets. This warranty does not apply to major components not of S&C manu- facture, such as batteries, and other communication devices, not of S&C manufacture. -
Page 4: Safety Information
Understanding There are several types of safety-alert messages which may appear throughout this instruction sheet as well as on labels attached to the SpeedNet ME Radio. Familiarize Safety-Alert Messages yourself with these types of messages and the importance of the various signal words, as explained below. -
Page 5: Description
SpeedNet ME Radios serve as a communication end point for SCADA devices. They can connect to a SpeedNet ME Radio mesh network. They can be installed in a variety of network configurations. Plan your network in advance, and develop a logical IP address- ing scheme for your particular application. -
Page 6: Ip Basics
Description IP Basics SpeedNet ME Radios use Internet Protocol version 4, and all references to IP addresses in these installation instructions refer to IPv4 addresses. An Internet Protocol (IP) address is the unique identifier for a node (host connection) on an IP network. The IP address is a 32-bit binary number, usually shown as four decimal values separated by decimal points. -
Page 7: Subnet Masking
This number acts like a name for the device, and all SpeedNet ME Radios have unique MAC addresses. Some devices have user-configurable MAC addresses, but the SpeedNet ME Radio MAC address is configured at the factory and cannot be changed. Most protocols use MAC addresses that are globally unique, but not all protocols use MAC addresses, or require that they be unique. -
Page 8: Network Example
Media, wireless, fiber optics, and wire Network Example Use of private IP addresses is strongly recommended when configuring a SpeedNet ME Radio network. The following example of a SpeedNet ME Radio network uses several private IP subnets from the 192.168.0.0 block of private addresses. - Page 9 IP Address: 192.168.2.2 Default Gateway: 192.168.2.1 SpeedNet ME 3 Wireless Interface: 192.168.4.3 Ethernet Interface: 192.168.3.1 Ethernet IP Address: 192.168.3.2 IP Address: 192.168.3.3 Default Gateway: 192.168.3.1 Default Gateway: 192.168.3.1 Figure 2.

Page 10: Routing Options
Once the individual data networks are established, you should plan the IP addressing scheme. In Figure 1 on page 8, each SpeedNet ME Radio host ID is 1 and each automatic switch control host ID is 2. Following a numbering scheme such as this will make it easier to keep track of which IP addresses are used for each device. -

Page 12: Antenna Requirements
(EIRP) is not more than permitted for successful communication. Antenna/Cable Antennas for SpeedNet ME Radios must be installed by a qualified radio technician, in order to comply with FCC Part 15 radiated power limits. Only antennas supplied by S&C Requirements Electric Company may be used with the SpeedNet ME Radio. - Page 13 170 feet/4 .3 dB loss +36 .0 dBm +12 .1 dBi 245 feet/6 .1 dB loss +36 .0 dBm Assuming 1-watt output power from the SpeedNet ME Radio . ① Table 5.

Page 14: Interface Pinouts
The SpeedNet ME Radio Ethernet interface uses an RJ-45 connector with the pinout shown in Figure 5 below. The Ethernet port is on the rear panel of the SpeedNet ME Radio. It is auto-sensing for assignment of transmit and receive lines (no crossover cables required) and auto-negotiates for 10-Mbps or 100-Mbps data rate as required by the connected device.
