Enhanced Benefits
Built-in Web Configuration Page• Uses web based SD Device Manager for easy configuration of all SD
Series parameters including transmit and receive frequencies, channel size and modem speed
• SD Device Manager is also used to access important performance and maintenance information
• SD Series configuration and maintenance can also be performed using Telnet and HyperTerminal sessions
Spectrum Saving Store & Forward• Saves radio spectrum by re-using frequencies to repeat signals
• Extend Communication paths using single radio Store and Forward
• Used in Packet with MAC mode for radio network management and collision avoidance
SD4 Store&Forward
•Single Freq. Repeater
Host ComputerRemote Device
Comprehensive Network Management• Manage your SD network using PulseNET NMS
• PulseNET is purpose-built for industrial communications and includes sophisticated and meaningful pre-built workflows along with intuitive graphical representations of the network
• Access historical network and equipment performance trending to optimize availability through predictive maintenance
• A comprehensive NMS system with drill-down capabilities from the network layer to the device level.

SD4 and IP/Ethernet Data
• All IP connections terminate locally at the SD radio• The transmitting SD extracts RTU data packet content and
broadcasts it over-the-air• The receiving SD regenerates the TCP/UDP data packet• Makes efficient use of the channel, but has limitations• SD radios don’t route or bridge Ethernet data, it encapsulates
industrial protocols in IP payloads
Latest FirmwareFeatures
SD4 New Features
• New in the latest firmware revision for the SD series radios (release 4.1.5)
– Extended Ethernet capability; supporting up to 3 simultaneous TCP/IP Client/Server connections to hosts and devices and “ping” over the air to remote devices.
– Extended Over The Air data speeds; now up to 19200bps19200bps on a simplex 12,5Khz channel. Double the previous rates.
– Added maintenance functions e.g. reprogram remotes over the air, modem type, frequencies etc.
– Simultaneous use of COM1, COM2 and ETH ports for data, acting like a full gateway for device connectivity.
– WEB interface for easy programming with setup wizards– MAC network management with reduced overhead and guaranteed
zero collisions over the air.– Store & Forward functionality for spectrum saving repeaters.– Terminal Server feature for Eth to Serial Conversion.– Full support for exception based protocols e.g. DNP3 & IEC 60870-5-
101/104.
