Features

The Sure Cross R70ER Ethernet Data Radio is a compact, industrial, communication device used to create point-to-

multipoint configurations of wireless Ethernet networks. The R70ER is available in two frequencies, 900 MHz and 2.4

GHz, and is fitted with D-Code M12 quick disconnect connectors for fast deployment.

Star or tree network topology configuration

DIP switches select operational modes

No IP address configuration is required

Frequency Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) technology ensures reliable data delivery

Self-healing, auto-routing radio frequency network with multiple hops to extend the network's range

Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) using a 256-bit cryptographic key

Quick Start Guide

Set Up Your R70ER Radio Network

Each radio network should include one controller/primary radio and several repeater or peripheral radios. To set up and install your wireless

data radio network, follow these steps:

Before installing your Ethernet data radios, first verify that your Ethernet devices work.

This verifies the devices are configured correctly before replacing the cabled connection with a wireless connection.

1.

Connect your devices using an Ethernet cable.

a.

Configure the IP addresses of your devices and use a ping test with Ethernet cables to verify the connectivity before

installing the radios.

b.

Configure the DIP switches of the R70ER.

2.

Apply power to all devices.

3.

Form the wireless network by binding the repeater and peripheral radios to the controller/primary radio.

4.

Observe the LED behavior to verify the devices are communicating with each other.

5.

Verify the Ethernet devices work wirelessly.

6.

Remove power to the R70 devices.

a.

Connect your Ethernet devices to the R70 Ethernet Radios and apply power.

b.

Run a ping test to confirm data is moving correctly through the wireless network.
