PRODUCT OVERVIEW
2.1 SCOPE OF MANUAL
This document provides the information required for the operation and preventive maintenance of the Integra-TR
integrated wireless modem. This manual is intended for system designers, installers and maintenance technicians.
2.2 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
Integra-TR is a high-speed transparent integrated wireless modem. It is FCC refarming compliant and designed specifically
to fit the needs of SCADA, telemetry and control applications. Integra-TR provides the communication links to data
equipment for installations where wired communication is impractical.
Integra-TR works with most makes and models of remote terminal units (RTU) and programmable logic controllers (PLC)
and their protocols. Configuration settings allow tailoring for a variety of applications. Integra-TR supports:
1. Point to point Master-Remote or Peer-to-Peer configurations in simplex or half-duplex modes.
2. Point to multipoint Master-Remote configuration in simplex or half-duplex modes and offers full-duplex in dual-
unit configuration. These configurations are available as I-Base products. Contact your CalAmp Representative for
details.
2.2.1 CHARACTERISTICS
Integra-TR has the following characteristics:
Selectable network speeds of 2400 and 4800 b/s for quarter channel units, 4800 and 9600 b/s for half
channel
units as well as 4800, 9600 and 19200 b/s for full channel units
Backward compatible with the Integra-T for bit rate of 4800 and 9600 b/s (full channel units only)
One COM port for connection to DTE. Speed of 1200 - 19200 baud
One Setup port for configuration and diagnostics (speed fixed to 9600 baud, 8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit)
Built-in 5-watt transceiver (adjustable 1-5 watts), operating in the VHF, UHF or 900 MHz communications
bands.
Half-duplex or simplex operation
Fully transparent operation with error-free data delivery
Allows transmission of “break” characters
DOX (Data Operated Transmit) or RTS mode
Stations may be set as “master” or “remote” to prevent remote stations from hearing each other in a simplex RF
configuration
Full local and remote diagnostics
Two configurable I/O lines programmable as either 8-bit analog inputs or digital outputs
“12 VDC, negative ground” device
CWID provides the ability to program the unit to periodically identify itself on the air by sending the FCC Station ID
in Morse code
Disable Tx w/Carrier Present configures the unit to prevent transmission when the radio channel is busy
Low power consumption modes: “sleep” and “suspend” modes (< 20 mA)
Multi-channel capability under system PLC control provides advanced network monitoring
