Interfaces
Ethernet Interface - RJ45
The LAN port (RJ-45) is a 10/100 Base-T compliant port. This port supports both TIA/EIA-568-A & B wiring as it has Auto MDI/MDIX Auto Sensing.
This means you can use both straight-through and cross-over type CAT-5 or better patch cables.
In transparent bridge mode, the Ethernet Interface supports all common Ethernet/IP Protocols (Including UDP, TCP, DHCP, ARP, ICMP, STP, IGMP,
SNTP & TFTP) including transport of VLAN and QoS frames (802.1Q).
Serial Port - DB9
The E Series Ethernet Radio serial port features:
•
a 9 pin miniature D-Shell (DB-9) Female connector that supports one individual serial port connection.
•
Wired as an RS232 DCE
•
300 bps to 38K4bps
•
RSSI DC output operation as per normal E series type data port.
Note: In most systems flow control is not required, in which case only 3 wires need to be connected between the radio and the application device.
Typical Pins used:
•
Pin 2 (RxD) - Data Output from the Radio Modem.
•
Pin 3 (TxD) - Data input to the Radio Modem.
•
Pin 5 (SG) - Signal Ground.
System Port – RJ45
The System Port (available front and rear on EB/EH45e) is a multi-function interface used for:
•
Programming / Configuration of the radio
•
Remote Diagnostics connections
To access these functions use the TVIEW+ Cable assembly (RJ45 Cable and RJ45 to DB9 Adaptor).
The TVIEW+ Cable is a standard CAT 5 RJ-45 (Male) to RJ-45 (Male) patch cable. It is intended for RS232 serial communications only and should
not be connected directly into an ethernet port of a PC. The Cable must be used in conjunction with the RJ-45 to DB9 Adaptor.
Modem
Modulation Types
The radio modem utilises a DSP to control the modulation of transmit signals and demodulation of received signals. This provides greater flexibility
in the ability of the radio modem to support new modulation schemes whilst maintaining compatibility with existing modulation schemes.
The type of modulation available for selection is dependent on the model of radio. Modulation types are sorted using the following criteria:
Country of Approval (FCC, ETSI, ACA), Radio Channel Bandwidth (12.5kHz or 25kHz), Radio Mode (E Series, M Series or D Series) and over the
air speed (2400bps, 4800bps, 9600bps, 19k2bps).
Only modulation schemes suitable for the radio model in use are available for selection. Please consider the following notes when choosing a
modulation:
Country of Approval :
FCC : for use in North America and other countries who use FCC approved radios.
ACA : for use in Australia and New Zealand.
ETSI : for use in Europe and other countries who use ETSI approved radios.
