1Overview
1.1 Features of the Trusted Wireless Ethernet Radio
The Phoenix Contact Trusted Wireless Ethernet series of radio transceivers are capable of
transmitting Ethernet data using wireless transmission methods. This manual describes the
RAD-ISM-900-EN-BD… radios.
Some of the features of this series include:
– MOTR-9™ 900 MHz, 1 W radio board
– Functions as a master, repeater or slave
– Selectable 125, 250, or 500 kbps transfer speeds with 128/192/256-bit AES encryption
– RS-232 and RS-422/485 ports allow integration of serial devices onto Ethernet
networks (built-in device server)
– Programming and network diagnostics are accessed through an integrated, IT-friendly
web server without additional software
– Modbus RTU/TCP compatible for process and industrial applications
– Maximum network size of 4096 radios
1.2 Radio Description
1.2.1 RAD-ISM-900-EN-BD
The RAD-ISM-900-EN-BD is a rail-mounted radio with a protection rating of IP20. The radio
features an RJ45 connector for connection of Ethernet devices as well as RS-232 and
RS-485/422 ports, which gives it the capability of sending serial data to another transceiver

over the radio link. The RAD-ISM-900-EN-BD features an RF link dry contact for indicating
a radio link and an RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indicator) voltage test point to aid
installation and troubleshooting.

1.2.2 RAD-ISM-900-EN-BD-BUS
The RAD-ISM-900-EN-BD-BUS includes all the functions of the RAD-ISM-900-EN-BD but
includes a bus connector. The RAD-ISM-900-EN-BD-BUS radio differs physically from the
RAD-ISM-900-EN-BD in that it has a 5-pin BUS connector on the side of the unit (see
Figure 1-2). This BUS connector allows analog, digital, or frequency input/output modules
to be connected (see Section 5). It also has a Modbus/TCP Gateway and an Ethernet

1.2.3 RAD-ISM-900-EN-BD/B
The RAD-ISM-900-EN-BD/B is a dedicated slave radio. It has no serial ports but is
interoperable with the RAD-ISM-900-EN-BD… radios.
Figure 1-3 RAD-ISM-900-EN-BD/B
1.3 Network Topology
The RAD-ISM-900-EN-BD… radio can be configured to operate as either a master, slave or
repeater. Depending on the configuration, radios provide different functions within the
wireless network. These different functions result in a variety of network topologies.
When determining a network topology, the following guidelines apply:
– All wireless devices connected to the master are configured on the same subnetwork
as the wired network interface, and can be accessed by devices on the wired network.
– A transceiver configured as a master can only communicate with devices configured as
slaves or repeaters. Conversely, devices configured as slaves can only communicate
with masters and repeaters.

In a master/slave arrangement, the master radio typically acts as the connection to a wired
network.

1.3.2 Repeater Topology
The repeater functionality of the RAD-ISM-900-EN-BD… supports several topologies.
1.3.2.1 Repeater Mode
Figure 1-5 shows three radios configured to extend the range of the data transmission by
“repeating” the transmission.
Figure 1-5 Repeater topology
1.4 Data Encryption
The RAD-ISM-900-EN-BD… radio features optional static 128/192/256-bit AES encryption.
The Advanced Encryption Standard (AES) was selected by the National Institute of
Standards and Technology (NIST) in October 2000 as an upgrade from the previous DES
standard.
AES is currently approved for military use, and utilizes a 128/192/256-bit block cipher
algorithm and encryption technique for protecting computerized information.

Overview

1.5 DHCP Server
The RAD-ISM-900-EN-BD… radio is compatible with networks that use a Dynamic Host
Control Protocol (DHCP) server for allocating IP addresses. In addition, a master can be
configured to function as the DHCP Server for a network.
1.6 Operator Authentication and Management
Authentication mechanisms are used to authenticate an operator accessing the device and
to verify that the operator is authorized to assume the requested role and perform services
within that role.
Access to the management screens for the RAD-ISM-900-EN-BD… family of radios
requires entering an ID and password.
The factory defaults are:
1.7 Ethernet Terminal Server
The Ethernet Terminal Server mode allows serial data to be encapsulated and transmitted
over Ethernet. In master/slave topology, the master must have the Ethernet Terminal
enabled.
Serial data packaged within TCP or UDP protocol is sent from some device and received by
the radio acting as the Ethernet terminal. The Ethernet terminal strips off the TCP/UDP
protocol headers and sends the serial data out on one of the serial streams. The wireless
link then distributes this data to all other radios’ serial ports connected to that serial stream.
If the serial protocol is addressable, e.g., Modbus, DF1, etc., the end device will ignore any
data that is not addressed to it.
The user name and password are case sensitive.
