Equipment List
The following equipment is required to perform the tests and demonstrations as described in this
document.
Hardware
1.
Aprisa SR+ Demo Kit
2.
Laptop or PC
3.
IP Camera (optional extra
to purchase please contact your 4RF representative)
Software
The software required for the demonstration has been provided on the included USB Flash Drive.
1.
Web Browser (Internet Explorer)
2.
Advanced HMI 4RF SR+ SCADA Demo
3.
Terminal Emulator (HyperTerminal or Putty)
Warning:
On low capacity radio based IP networks used for SCADA, general network broadcast traffic can overload
the radio communication channel. This broadcast traffic may come from servers, laptops, and other
network devices e.g. DHCP requests, DNS traffic, NetBIOS traffic, and ARP requests.
Low capacity radio networks must be isolated from other LANs such as main SCADA and corporate LANs
using routers to block traffic not intended for the SCADA radio network.
This needs to be considered when demonstrating and testing the Aprisa SR+ radios.
6 | Demonstration Setup
Aprisa SR+ Demo Kit Guide 1.3.0
2.
Demonstration Setup
The following is a typical demonstration setup:
When setting up the equipment for testing, note the following:
Attenuators
In a bench setup, there should be 60 - 80 dB at up to 1 GHz of 50 ohm coaxial attenuation, capable of
handling the transmit power of +37 dBm (5 W) between the radios
’
antenna connectors.
Splitter
The splitter should be 50 ohm coaxial up to 1 GHz and capable of handling the transmit power of +37 dBm
(5 W).
Cables
Use double-screened coaxial cable that is suitable for use up to 1 GHz at
≈
1 metre.
CAUTION:
Do not apply signals greater than +10 dBm to the antenna connection as they can damage the
receiver.
