INTRODUCTION
This guide presents basic installation and operating instructions for the
MDS SD4 Series wireless transceiver. It is a companion guide to the
MDS SD4 Series Reference Manual
(Part No. 05-4670A01). Refer to
the
Reference Manual
for detailed instructions, system design, and
other technical information.
The transceiver (
Figure 1
) is designed to operate in point-to-multi-
point environments, including utility automation/distribution systems,
and other telemetry functions.
These radios are software-configurable to provide flexible operation
in a variety of applications using one hardware platform. They employ
microprocessor control and Digital Signal Processing (DSP) tech-
nology to provide robust communications even under adverse condi-
tions.

The transceiver is designed for trouble-free operation with data equip-
ment provided by other manufacturers, including remote terminal
units (RTUs), programmable logic controllers (PLCs), flow com-
puters, transaction terminals, and similar devices.
NOTE:
Some features may not be available on all units, based on the
options purchased and the applicable regulatory constraints
for the region in which the radio will operate.
