Type: The type of the port as labelled on the RTU module. Option boards installed on CP-xx modules are
displayed from the Hardware Overview as None (no option board installed), UART Detected (SER-S, SER-I,
V34-D, Line-2, Fibre or HART option board), PSTN Modem (V22-d option board) Ethernet (E'NET-E or
E'NET option board), Line Modem / Radio (LINE-L option board) or Image (IMAGE-J option board). The
Type setting should match the option board type as detailed below:
 RS232: RS232 serial communications with RTS-CTS control. This setting is also used for fibre optic
ports and for spread spectrum radio ports if the radio does not need to be configured with an initialisation
string. A fibre optic port is configured the same way as an RTU serial port.
 RS485: RS485 serial communications (used for multiple RTUs connected to a two-wire highway up to
600 metres long). Please see the topic Example - RS485.
 RS422: RS422 serial communications (used for multiple RTUs connected to a four-wire highway).
Please ensure Pre TX and Post TX are configured as detailed below.
 RADIO: Original radio connection for a PC-1/MC-1 Radio option boards or for CP-xx/MC-xx LINE-L
option boards. Note: CP-xx and MC-xx ports operate at 1200 baud while PC-1 and MC-1 ports operate
at 300 or 1200 baud. LINE-2 option boards are configured as Line-2 (please see below) instead of
RADIO. The output power of a radio port can be configured by selecting the Configure button as shown
in Configuration - RADIO/PLINE. Please see the topic Example - Radios.
 PLINE: Private line connection for PC-1/MC-1 Private Line option boards or for CP-xx/MC-xx LINE-L
option boards or LM-2 ports. Note: CP-xx/MC-xx and LM-2 ports operate at 1200 baud while PC-1/MC-1
ports operate at 300 or 1200 baud. LINE-2 option boards are configured as Line-2 (please see below).
The output power of a private line port can be configured by selecting the Configure button as shown in
Configuration - RADIO/PLINE. Please see the topic Example - Private Line.
 PSTN: For external dial-up modems, Dial option boards, GSM modems and GPRS modems. PSTN can
be configured on any RS232 port and has a number of configurable parameters that are configured by
selecting the Configure button as shown in Configuration - PSTN. Please see the topic Example Modems.
 TMR: Trunk Mobile Radio communications. Uses RS232 serial communications and a special form of
message encoding. To be able to use the TMR protocol a special version of RTU firmware is required.
TMR has a couple of configurable parameters that can be configured by selecting the Configure button
as shown in Configuration - TMR.
 RADIO HOT: (For PC-1/MC-1 only) For use with FSK radios that constantly transmit or receive a carrier
signal. When this option is selected, the receiving RTU does not wait for the carrier to drop before
replying. The receiving RTU ignores the Quiet Time Before TX System Parameter and replies
immediately. Please see Line-2 HOT for Line-2 option boards.
 Mobitex: For Mobitex radio communications on one of the RTU's serial ports. A firmware driver is
required in order to use the Mobitex protocol.
 Ethernet: The Ethernet port settings can be configured by selecting the Configure button as shown in
Configuration - Ethernet. Ethernet can be used on CP-10/11/12 ports 2 and 3, MC-10/11/12 ports 2 and
3 or CP-21 port 2. CP-21 Ethernet supports the Kingfisher protocol all the time AND one of the following
protocols: Modbus or DNP3. CP-10/11/12 Ethernet supports the Kingfisher protocol all the time AND one
of the following protocols: Modbus, DNP3 or Allen Bradley. MC-10/11/12 Ethernet only supports the
Kingfisher protocol.
 Image Capture: Image capture option board. When this option is selected, settings for Baudrate, Pre
TX, Post TX and Protocol are ignored. Please see the topic Example - Kingfisher Images.
 RS232 RADIO: For radios with an RS232 interface and a radio frequency (RF) Carrier Detect signal.
Carrier detect is used to prevent messages being sent when the radio network is busy. RS232 Radio
also uses the Pre TX and Post TX port settings and allows a carrier test to be performed on the port.
Please see the topic Example - Radios.
 LP-1 FFSK P3: [Superseded!] For LP-1 port 3 integrated radio. The integrated radio has a number of
configurable parameters that can be configured by selecting the Configure button as shown in
Configuration - LP-1 Integrated Radio.
 LP-1 FSK P3: For LP-1 FSK port 3 Trio radio (TC-MR450). Please ensure Pre TX and Post TX are
configured as detailed below.
 GPS Internal: GPS option board for CP-21. Please see the topic Driver - GPS.
 GPS External: External GPS device.
 Line-2: Private Line or radio connection for Line-2 option boards. Please see the topic Example - Private
Line or Example - Radios.
 Line-2 HOT: Same as RADIO HOT except applies to Line-2 option boards.
