1.1 SCOPE OF MANUAL
This document provides the information required for the operation and preventive maintenance of the
D
ATARADIO
Integra-TR wireless modem. This manual is intended for system designers, installers and
maintenance technicians
1.2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Integra-TR is a high-speed transparent wireless modem. It is FCC refarming compliant and designed
specifically to fit the needs of SCADA, telemetry and control applications. Integra-TR provides the
communication links to data equipment for installations where wired communication is impractical.
Integra-TR works with most makes and models of remote terminal units (RTU) and programmable logic
controllers (PLC) and their protocols. Configuration settings allow tailoring for a variety of applications.
Integra-TR supports:
1. Point to point Master-Remote or Peer-to-Peer configurations in simplex or half-duplex modes.
2. Point to multipoint Master-Remote configuration in simplex or half-duplex modes and offers full-duplex in
dual-unit configuration.
Settings and connections for these configurations are given later in this manual
