3 NETWORK APPLICATIONS
Integra-TR is suited to a variety of network applications. Its primary design goal was to satisfy the needs of SCADA systems
using RTUs or PLCs in either point-to-point or point-to-multipoint service. Below is an overview of common configurations.
3.1 RF PATH AND COMMUNICATIONS RANGE
Integra-TR is designed for use over distances up to 30 miles + (50 km) depending on terrain and antenna system. To assure
reliable communications, the RF (radio frequency) path between stations should be studied by a competent professional
who can determine what antennas are required and whether or not a repeater is needed.
3.2 COMMON ARCHITECURAL CHARACTERISTICS
The networks described in this section share common characteristics:
1. The DTE (data terminal equipment) network speed (1200, 2400, 4800, 9600 and 19,200 b/s) must be the same for all
stations in a network.
2. Transmission of online diagnostics may be enabled or disabled at any station or stations without affecting their ability
to communicate with other stations.
3.2.1 POINT-TO-POINT SYSTEM
A simple point-to-point connection is shown in Figure 7. In this system, the user's equipment (DTE) may be set up in either a
peer-to-peer or a Master-Remote configuration.
