E-Series Emulation Mode
The Q data radios can be configured to operate in E-Series emulation mode. This can allow the replacement of existing
E-Series radio networks to be upgraded to Q data radio systems at a pace the user defines.
E-Series Emulation Mode can provide:
• A cost effective upgrade to a Q data radio network
• Minimise SCADA connectivity downtime during an upgrade
• A greater subset of features once the radio network is fully upgraded, as E-Series emulation mode is a user
configurable feature.
The diagram below shows how an existing E-Series radio system can be progressively upgraded to a Q data radio system by
replacing E-Series radios ‘One by One’ with Q data radios operating in E-Series emulation mode.
Once all E-Series have been replaced, the Q data radios may be re-configured to operate in Q mode, to provide advanced
features and functionallities of the Q data radios.
