PRODUCT DESCRIPTION
The entraNET system is an easy-to-install wireless solution sup-
porting long-range serial and Ethernet data transmission at a speed of
106 kbps. The typical system set-up includes an Access Point (AP)
transceiver and one or multiple Remote transceivers.
Feature Summary
The MDS entraNET design makes installation and configuration an
easy task, while allowing for configuration changes in the future.
• Long-range transmission over favorable, unobstructed terrain,
with sufficient antenna heights
• Fast, 106 kbps data speed—Ten times faster than 9.6 kbps
radios
• Low power consumption—Sleep and Shutdown modes to
enable solar-powered operation
• Repeater configurations—A repeater scheme can be established
to extend the transmission range or to work around obstructions
in a network. This is accomplished by connecting two radios
back to back at a single site.
• Industrial-grade product—Extended temperature range for
trouble-free operation in extreme environments
• Robust radio communications—Designed to perform in
high-interference environments
• MDS Security Suite—Blocks common attack schemes and pre-
vents "rogue" hardware from gaining access to or control of a
network. Common attack events are logged and reported via
alarms.
• Simple setup—Ethernet bridge configuration option requires
minimal setup
• Serial ports—Embedded terminal server for serial interface
equipment
