Farell Ethernet Serial Modem: IP-MOD

Farell’s IP-MOD Ethernet and serial radio modem incorporates an Ethernet interface to communicate with SCADA host systems i.e. UDP, TCP, TELNET, HTTP, and SNMP. It also offers RS-232 serial support working in serial mode or Serial-Ethernet / Ethernet-Serial mode (as an option).

 

Each modem is configurable as a master or remote in Point to Point, or Point to Multipoint networks.  The IP-MOD has full SCADA style features through SNMP.  The modem allows users to do non-intrusive diagnosis in real time through SNMP, and allowing users to do remote configurations of units including firmware upgrades. 

 

The Main Features of Farell IP-MOD Ethernet Serial Modem 

 

The IP-MOD features 128-bit AES encryption for secure operations, password protected remote configurations including, and is resistant to radio Ethernet surfers.

 

The modem can communicate with up to 62 remote stations using only two frequencies, only separated by a minimum of 12.5 kHz.  The modem uses VHF and UHF frequency bands to provide a good wide spread communication on the ground.  Along with the high out power and high receive sensitivity of the equipment allows coverage in larger areas, without direct vision equipment.
