Bit dribble Extraneous bits delivered at the end of a data transmission. Equivalent to a “squelch
tail” in voice systems. Integra-TR does not have bit dribble.
COM Port The Communications Port of Integra-TR. This port is configured as DCE and is
designed to connect directly to DTE.
CTS Clear to Send. An RS-232 output signal from Integra-TR indicating that it is ready
to accept data (used in RTS mode).
DCE Data Communications Equipment. This designation is applied to equipment such as
modems. DCE is designed to connect to DTE.
DOX Data Operated Transmit. A mode of operation in which Integra-TR begins a
transmission as soon as data is presented to the RS-232 port.
DTE Data Terminal Equipment. This designation is applied to equipment such as
terminals, PCs, RTUs, PLCs, etc. DTE is designed to connect to DCE.
Field Programming
Software This software allows configuration and testing of Integra-TR
Full Channel Radio channel bandwidth equal to 25kHz.
Half Channel Radio channel bandwidth equal to 12.5kHz.
Quarter Channel Radio channel bandwidth equal to 6.25 kHz.
Network speed This is the bit rate on the RF link between units. Could be different from COM port
baud rate.
PLC Programmable Logic Controller. An intelligent device that can make decisions,
gather and report information, and control other devices.
Refarming Strategy for using the radio spectrum more efficiently to meet future
communications requirements and the FCC's minimum bit rate requirements with
speeds up to 19200 in Full Channel and 9600 in Half Channel.
RTS Request to Send. RS-232 input signal to Integra-TR indicating that the DTE has
data to send. RTS may optionally be used as a transmit switch for Integra-TR.
RTS mode A mode of operation in which Integra-TR begins a transmission when RTS is raised
and continues transmitting until RTS is dropped.
RTU Remote Terminal Unit. A SCADA device used to gather information or control
other devices.
SCADA Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition. A general term referring to systems that
gather data and/or perform control operations.
SETUP Port The configuration / diagnostic port of Integra-TR. This port is designed to be
connected to a PC running the Integra Field Programming Software.
Transparent A transparent unit transmits all data without regard to special characters, etc.
