Introduction
10
bit processor running the Linux operating system. It has 16-MB
Flash EPROM acting as a hard disk and 16 MB RAM. The software
can be upgraded in the field.
Several interfaces are available: Ethernet, V34 modem, RS-232
serial, and RS-485 multidrop serial. A built-in rechargeable battery
provides the telemetry gateway with approximately 24 hours of
operation without mains power (the number of hours depends on
the number of RTUs the gateway has to poll).
The A440 Wireless Modem is a low-power, narrow-band data
transceiver operating in the 70-cm band. It implements Adcon’s
low-speed radio protocol and is therefore compatible with all
Adcon RTUs. In addition the A440 modem supports a high-speed
wireless protocol that will be used by future Adcon devices.
The A440 has an 8-bit Flash-based microcontroller that can also be
upgraded in the field.
WARNING This manual is valid only for release 3.8.4 of the
gateway’s firmware. You can verify that you have the appropriate
firmware by logging onto a serial terminal. The following should be
displayed on your terminal:
