1.0 GENERAL 1.1 Introduction This guide presents installation and operating instructions for the 1710A/2710A/4710A/9710A and 1710C/2710C/4710C/9710C Series (150/230/350/400/900 MHz) digital radio transceivers. These transceivers (Figure 1) are data telemetry radios designed to operate in a point-to-multipoint environment, such as electric utility Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) and distribution automation, gas field automation, water and wastewater SCADA, and online transaction processing applications. -
Page 10: Applications
NOTE: Some features are not available on all radios, based on the options purchased and the applicable regulatory constraints for the region in which the radio operates. 1.2 Applications Point-to-Multipoint, Multiple Address Systems (MAS) This is the most common application of the transceiver. It consists of a central master station and several associated remote units as shown in Figure 2. -
Page 11: Point-To-Point System
Point-to-Point System Where permitted, the transceiver can also be used in a point-to-point system. A point-to-point system consists of two radios, one serving as a master and the other as a remote (Figure 3). This system provides a sim- plex or half-duplex communication link for the transfer of data between two locations. -
Page 12: Single-Frequency (Simplex) Operation
Single-Frequency (Simplex) Operation Single-frequency operation (also known as simplex) is a special case of switched-carrier operation. Single frequency operation is automatically selected whenever the transmit and receive frequencies are set to the same value. Simplex mode results in slower polling because the TX syn- thesizer must move off the RX channel to receive, and back to transmit. -
