TReX User Manual v15.30 Firmware

Introduction

Thank you for choosing the TReX.

The TReX is a high power transceiver, suitable for commercial, industrial, remotely managed 
control/monitoring and autonomous control applications. 

The TReX can be used to:

•

Automate processes using the integrated ladder logic PLC, with remotely located IO 
expansion.

•

Transmit and receive POCSAG paging messages.

•

Send DMR text messages.

•

Operate as a secure IoT gateway allowing control and monitoring from devices 
supporting the MQTT protocol.

•

Connect to third party SCADA control and monitoring systems using Modbus 
protocols.

•

Log messages to internal memory to meet auditing requirements.

•

Mirror analog and digital inputs to a remote unit.

•

Inspect potential site interference using the integrated spectrum analyser.

•

Report system and installation errors, such as loss of communications, and battery 
states.

•

Detect antenna faults during normal operation.

•

Transmit and receive secure serial and telemetry data at high data rates and over a very 
long range.

•

Act as a repeater for forwarding telemetry and paging messages in poor coverage areas.

TReX Features

•

Up to 4W power output, operating from 421MHz to 480MHz.

•

DIN rail mountable aluminium enclosure that also allows simple mounting from top, 
bottom or sides.

•

Data transmit rates from 512 baud to 32K baud.  Supported channel spacing of 25kHz, 
12.5kHz and 6.25kHz. 

•

Secure AES encryption options for both TCP connections and messages sent across RF 
links.

•

Ability to receive AES encrypted secure paging messages and securely control outputs 
across existing national and local area paging networks.

•

Optional Ladder Logic programmable PLC with radio extensions, allowing user 
programmable automation.

•

Support for an unlimited number of IoT devices to publish to a MQTT broker service.

•

Support for 

two-way

 paging. Provides receipt of delivery and optionally receipt for 

accepted jobs.
