Compatibility Info for RTR500B and RTR-500 Series

Smartphone Compatibility

Settings for the RTR500B series can be made via Bluetooth and our smartphone app.
Monitoring and settings change can be made remotely via internet connection to T&D WebStorage Service.
*iOS compatible only. Android version to be released at a future date.

Additional WLAN Compatibility

IEEE 802.11a (5GHz) has been added.

HTTPS Compatibility

Security has been improved with the addition of encrypted communication capability.
Communication via proxy is not supported.

Power Supply via LAN Cable

By using a PoE (IEEE802.3af) compatible hub, both communication and power supply can be done with one LAN cable.

Repeater Communication Time Shortened

When RTR500BC is being used as a Repeater, compression technology has allowed us to shorten communication time by about 40% compared to previous models.

Auto Wireless Route Settings

For RTR-500NW/AW it was necessary to make wireless route settings for communication between Base Units, Repeaters and Remote Units before deploying them. The RTR500B Series makes it possible to deploy the devices and automatically set the most suitable route for wireless communication.

Number of Possible Remote Unit Registrations and Repeater Groups

With RTR-500NW/AW, in each Base Unit it was possible to register up to 100 Remote Units and have a max of 10 Repeaters in up to 10 Groups. With RTR500BW it is possible to register up to 50 Remote Units and have a max of 10 Repeaters in up to 4 Groups.

SMTP Client Function

Warning report mail can now only be sent via T&D’s cloud server. Up to four recipient addresses can be registered to each T&D WebStrorage Service account.
