S&C Instruction Sheet 1074-510

Description

Installation

Choose a location, where the SpeedNet ME Radio can be securely mounted.

 

CAUTION

For remote antenna installations, where the antenna is not mounted directly on the 
control enclosure, S&C recommends installing lightning protection .

Network Design

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. Depending on your network type, several 
factors may influence your design:
•  Point-to-point vs. end-point within a mesh
•  Stand-alone Network Connection.
When network topology has been determined, the SpeedNet ME Radios can be config-
ured appropriately.
