• GPRS: General Packet Radio Services. Allows connection to an original GPRS modem when using the
GPRS firmware driver. Please see the topic Example - GPRS Modems.
• SS Radio: Spread spectrum radio option board or external radio. Allows an initialisation string to be set
to the radio by selecting the Configure button as shown in the topic Configuration - Spread Spectrum
Radio. To obtain radio data or for other port settings please see the topic Driver - Spread Spectrum
Radio. Note: RS232 can be used for the port type if the radio does not need to be configured.
• GPRS2: General Packet Radio Services. Allows connection to an updated GPRS modem when using
the GPRS2 firmware driver. Please see the topic Example - GPRS Modems.
Baud rate: (300 to 115200) The speed at which the RTU will send or receive messages. Note: Radio and
Private Line ports have a maximum baud rate of 1200. When using a PSTN modem to dial a paging service,
set the Baud rate to 9600 (or 2400 if experiencing problems connecting reliably). An LP-1/2/3 has a
maximum baudrate of 38400 on ports 1 and 2.
Pre TX: For radio, private line, PSTN and Ethernet ports.
• Radio and private line ports: Pre Tx defines how long the carrier and RTS are transmitted for before data
is sent. Radios commonly require a Pre TX of 300ms while private lines use 50 to 100ms. 10ms is used
for RS485 and RS422.
• PSTN ports: the RTU will wait a minimum of 3 seconds after a carrier is detected before setting the
online bit. Pre TX can be used to set the amount of extra time the RTU will wait after a carrier is detected
before setting the online bit and allowing messages to be initiated. A setting of 0 is used for most PSTN
modems or set to 20,000 ms for a Motorola 9522 satellite phone.
Post TX: For radio, private line, PSTN and Ethernet ports.
• Radio and private line ports: Post TX defines how long the carrier and RTS are transmitted for after the
data has been sent. Radios commonly require a Post TX of 100ms while 10 to 50ms is used for private
lines. CP-xx line option boards require 50ms Post TX when used with private lines. RS485 and RS422
sometimes require very short Post TX delays. The following values can be used for CP-10/11 RTUs:
0 = 0-5 ms (5 ms resolution)
1 = 0-1 ms (1 ms resolution. This is the shortest Post TX setting)
2 = 1-2 ms (1 ms resolution)
3 = 2-3 ms (1 ms resolution)
4 = 3-4 ms (1 ms resolution)
5 = 4-5 ms (1 ms resolution)
All other settings (6-65535) have a 5 ms resolution
• PSTN ports: Post TX is the maximum delay before the RTU decides the message being received has
finished. Set to 0 for most PSTN modems or set to 400 ms for 3G modems. Post TX is used to allow for
breaks in the message received (as occurs with the 3G network). If Post TX is set below 350 ms, the
RTU will use a minimum value of 350ms.
• Ethernet ports: The inactivity timeout for each Ethernet socket. Once the socket has been inactive for
this time setting, the socket will be closed. Implemented in CP-10/11 firmware 1.43d, CP-21 firmware
1.45e and MC-11 firmware C153 or newer.
