Installation
Before
Starting
Choose a location where the SpeedNet ME radio can be securely mounted.
NOTICE
For remote antenna installations, where the antenna is not mounted directly on the control
enclosure, S&C recommends installing lightning protection to avoid damaging the SpeedNet
ME radio.
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 addressing 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 configured
appropriately.
