  • Page 8: Installation

    SpeedNet Radios serve as a communication end point for SCADA devices. They can connect to a SpeedNet Radio mesh network, and they can be installed in a variety of network configurations. Plan your network in advance, and develop a logical IP addressing scheme for your particular application.

    +38 dBm. In this situation, the antenna cable must provide at least 2 dB loss in order to bring the EIRP into compliance. SpeedNet Radios have configurable transmit power that can be selected using the SpeedNet Radio client tool or by using the IntelliTeam CNMS Communication Network Management System. Settings of +30 dBm (default), +25 dBm, and +10 dBm are available.

  • Page 11: Operation

    Operation IP Basics SpeedNet Radios use Internet Protocol (IP) version 4, and all references to IP addresses in these installation instructions refer to IPv4 addresses. An 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 12: Subnet Masking

    Operation Subnet Masking Applying a subnet mask to an IP address allows you to identify the network and node parts of the address. The network bits are represented by the “1”s in the mask, and the node bits are represented by the “0”s. Performing a bitwise logical AND operation between the IP address and the subnet mask results in the network address or number.

  • Page 13: Mac Address

    Radios have unique MAC addresses. Some devices have user-configurable MAC addresses, but the SpeedNet 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 14: Network Example

    Once the individual data networks are established, plan the IP addressing scheme. In Figure 1, each SpeedNet 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 16: Routing Options

    Using Static Routes Figure 3 is an example of a point-to-point SpeedNet Radio network. In this example, Subnet 1 has been assigned the 192.168.1.0 Class C subnet, while Subnet 2 has been assigned the 192.168.2.0 Class C subnet. For the wireless network common between the two radios, the 192.168.3.0 Class C subnet has been assigned.

  • Page 18: Interface Pinouts

    The SpeedNet Radio Ethernet interface uses an RJ-45 connector with the pinout shown in Figure 5. The Ethernet port is on the rear panel of the SpeedNet 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.
