NOTE:

IP Forwarding mode must be the same on all units in a given network. Figure 6 illustrates an ex-

ample of a network where a master is a full-featured version of the HiPR-900 unit and remotes

are HiPR-900S units. Such network is functional in bridge mode only.

5.3 Connections

The connections required are shown in Figure 7 and Figure 8 below and on the next page. While serial

and/or Ethernet RTU or PLC are shown in the diagrams, master stations often use a PC running an appli-

cation designed to communicate with remote RTUs or PLCs, or intelligent controllers.

Figure 7 shows a common connection scenario. The TX/RX antenna is required for basic operation. The

power connection allows for a wide range of input DC power, whether the user system is a nominal 12 or

24 VDC supply system. A setup PC can be connected via the serial port, allowing for setup and configu-

ration of the HiPR-900 as well as local and remote diagnostics. It may be left connected at all times but is

not required for normal operation once the unit has been configured. The Ethernet port allows end users

Ethernet-capable RTU or PLC to be connected.

Note: PD (RX) Antenna connector is exclusive to the full-featured HiPR-900 version.
