Definitions
The following terms are used throughout this document.
Bit dribble
Extraneous bits delivered at the end of a data transmission. Equivalent to a
“squelch tail” in voice systems. Integra-T does not have bit dribble.
COM Port
The Communications Port of Integra-T. This port is configured as DCE and is
designed to connect directly to DTE.
CTS
Clear to Send. An RS-232 output signal from Integra-T indicating that it is ready
to accept data.
DCE
Data Communications Equipment. This designation is applied to equipment such
as modems. DCE is designed to connect to DTE.
DOX
Data Operated Transmit. A mode of operation in which Integra-T begins a
transmission as soon as data is presented to the RS-232 port.
DTE
Data Terminal Equipment. This designation is applied to equipment such as ter-
minals, PCs, RTUs, PLCs, etc. DTE is designed to connect to DCE.
Network speed
This is the bit rate on the RF link between units. Could be different from COM
port baud rate.
PLC
Programmable Logic Controller. An intelligent device that can make decisions,
gather and report information, and control other devices.
RDS
Radio Diagnostic Software. This software allows local and remote diagnostics of
Integra-T.
RRSS
Remote Radio Setup Software. (Future expansion software package)
RSS
Radio Service Software. This software allows configuration and testing of Inte-
gra-T.
RTS
Request to Send. RS-232 input signal to Integra-T indicating that the DTE has
data to send. RTS may optionally be used as a transmit switch for Integra-T.
RTS mode
A mode of operation in which Integra-T begins a transmission when RTS is
raised, and continues transmitting until RTS is dropped.
RTU
Remote Terminal Unit. A SCADA device used to gather information or control
other devices.
SCADA
Supervisory Control And Data Acquisition. A general term referring to systems
that gather data and/or perform control operations.
SETUP Port
The configuration / diagnostic port of Integra-T. This port is designed to be con-
nected to a PC running the Integra RSS program.
Transparent
A transparent unit transmits all data without regard to special characters, etc.
