98 | Managing the Radio
Packet Size (Bytes)
This parameter sets the maximum over-the-air packet size in bytes. A smaller maximum Packet Size is
beneficial when many remote stations or repeater stations are trying to access the channel. The default
setting is 1550 bytes.
As radios dispatched from the factory have a Packet Size set to the maximum value of 1550 bytes, if a new
radio is installed in an existing Field Access Network (network), the Packet Size must be changed to ensure
it is the same value for all radios in the network. The new radio will not register an existing network if the
Packet Size is not the same as the other radios in the network.
This packet size includes the wireless protocol header and security payload (0 to 16 bytes). The length of
the security header depends on the level of security selected.
When the security setting is 0, the maximum user data transfer over-the-air is 1516 bytes.
When encryption is enabled, the entire packet of user data (payload) is encrypted. If authentication is
being used, the security frame will be added (up to 16 bytes). The wireless protocol header is then added
which is proprietary to the Aprisa SR. This is not encrypted.
Packet Time to Live (ms)
This Time To Live (TTL) parameter sets the time a packet is allowed to live in the system before being
dropped if it cannot be transmitted over the air. It is used to prevent old, redundant packets being
transmitted through the Aprisa SR network. The default setting is 1500 ms.
In the case of serial poll SCADA networks such as MODBUS and IEC 60870.50.101, it is important to ensure
the replies from the RTU are in the correct sequence and are not timed out replies from Master requests.
If the TTL value is too long, the SCADA master will detect sequence errors.
It is recommended to use a TTL which is half the serial SCADA timeout. This is commonly called the ‘scan
timeout’ or ‘link layer time out’ or ‘retry timeout’.
When using TCP protocols, a TTL of 1500 ms is recommended because a TCP re-transmission usually occurs
after approximately 3 second.
In SCADA networks which use both serial and Ethernet, it is recommended that the TTL is set to half the
serial SCADA timeout for serial remotes, and 1500 ms for Ethernet (TCP) remotes. For example, if the
serial SCADA timeout is 1000 ms, a remote radio which is connected to the serial RTU should be set to
500 ms, a remote radio which is connected to a Ethernet (TCP) RTU should have a 1500 ms timeout.
In this case, the base station TTL should be set to 1500 ms as well; or which ever is the longer TTL of
serial or Ethernet.

Packet Filtering
Each Aprisa SR radio can filter packets not destined for itself. The Packet Filtering parameter controls this
functionality.
In an Aprisa SR network, all communication from remote stations is destined for the base station in the
Aprisa SR network communication protocol. In a repeater network, a remote station will send a message
to the base station. The repeater station will receive this and then repeat the message. The repeated
message will then be received by the base station. Other remote stations connected to the repeater
station will receive this message and depending on the Packet Filtering parameter, either forward this
packet or discard it.
This filtering capability can provide the ability for remote stations to communicate with each other when
connected to a repeater, particularly useful in the event of losing communication with a SCADA Master,
assuming the Aprisa SR network is still operational.
Note: IP Header Compression must be disabled for this feature to operate correctly (see ‘IP Header
Compression Ratio’ on page 101).
Option
Function
Disabled
Every packet received by the radio will be forwarded to the
relevant interface.
Automatic
The radio will filter (discard) packets not destined for itself
according to the Aprisa SR traffic protocols
The default setting is Automatic.
Note: The Aprisa SR network is transparent to the protocol being transmitted; therefore the Packet
Filtering parameter is based on the Aprisa SR addressing and network protocols, not the user (SCADA, etc.)
traffic protocols.
Serial Data Stream Mode
This parameter controls the traffic flow in the radio serial ports.
Option
Function
Broadcast
Serial port traffic from the network is broadcast on all serial ports
on this radio. This will include the RS-232 port derived from the
USB port.
Segregate
Serial port traffic from the network from a specific port number is
directed to the respective serial port only.
The default setting is Broadcast.

TRAFFIC SETTINGS
Serial Data Priority
The Serial Data Priority controls the priority of the serial customer traffic relative to the Ethernet
customer traffic. If equal priority is required to Ethernet traffic, this setting must be the same as the
Ethernet Data Priority setting (see ‘Ethernet Data Priority’ on page 100).
The serial data priority can be set to Very High, High, Medium and Low. The default setting is Very High.
A queuing system is used to prioritize traffic from the serial and Ethernet interfaces for over the air
transmission. A weighting may be given to each data type and this is used to schedule the next
transmission over the air e.g. if there are pending data packets in multiple buffers but serial data has a
higher weighting it will be transmitted first. The serial buffer is 20 serial packets (1 packet can be up to
512 bytes).
There are four priority queues in the Aprisa SR: Very High, High, Medium and Low. Data is added to one of
these queues depending on the priority setting. Data leaves the queues from highest priority to lowest:
the Very High queue is emptied first, followed by High then Medium and finally Low.
Ethernet Data Priority
The Ethernet Data Priority controls the priority of the Ethernet customer traffic relative to the serial
customer traffic. If equal priority is required to serial traffic, this setting must be the same as the Serial
Data Priority setting (see ‘Serial Data Priority’ on page 100)
The Ethernet Data Priority can be set to Very High, High, Medium and Low. The default setting is Very
High.
A queuing system is used to prioritize customer traffic from the serial and Ethernet interfaces for over the
air transmission. A weighting may be given to each data type and this is used to schedule the next
transmission over the air e.g. if there are pending data packets in multiple buffers but serial data has a
higher weighting it will be transmitted first. The Ethernet buffer is 10 Ethernet packets (1 packet can be
up to Ethernet MTU, 1500 bytes).
There are four priority queues in the Aprisa SR: Very High, High, Medium and Low. Data is added to one of
these queues depending on the priority setting. Data leaves the queues from highest priority to lowest:
the Very High queue is emptied first, followed by High then Medium and finally Low.
Ethernet Management Priority
The Ethernet Management Priority controls the priority of the Ethernet management traffic relative to
Ethernet customer traffic.
The Ethernet Management Priority can be set to Very High, High, Medium and Low. The default setting is
Medium.

Background Bulk Data Transfer Rate
This parameter sets the data transfer rate for large amounts of management data.
Option
Function
High
Utilizes more of the available capacity for large amounts of
management data. Highest impact on user traffic.
Medium
Utilizes a moderate of the available capacity for large amounts of
management data. Medium impact on user traffic.
Low
Utilizes a minimal of the available capacity for large amounts of
management data. Lowest impact on user traffic.
The default setting is high.
DATA COMPRESSION
IP Header Compression Ratio
The IP Header Compression implements TCP/IP ROHC v2 (Robust Header Compression v2. RFC4995,
RFC5225, RFC4996) to compress the IP header. IP Header Compression allows for faster point to point
transactions, but only in a star network.
IP Header Compression module comprises of two main components, Compressor and Decompressor. Both
these components maintain some state information for an IP flow to achieve header compression.
However, for reasons like packet drops or station reboots this state information can go out of sync
between compressor and decompressor resulting in compression and/or decompression failure resulting in
loss of packets.
The Compression Ratio controls the rate at which compressor and decompressor synchronize state
information with each other. Frequent synchronization results in reduced ratio.
Option
Function
Compression
Disabled
Disables IP Header Compression.
High
State information is synchronized less frequently thus achieving
the best compression ratio.
Medium
State information is synchronization less frequently than ‘High’
setting but more frequently than ‘Low’ setting.
Low
State information is synchronized frequently thus reducing the
compression ratio.
The default setting is High.
When IP Header Compression is enabled, it is important that the Network Radius is set correctly. If it was
incorrectly set to 1, header compression could not be interpreted by radius 2 radios.

If the Aprisa SR buffer is full, the CTS goes OFF.
In the case of radio link failure the signal goes to OFF (-ve) state.
In terminal server mode, the serial packet is no different from an Ethernet packet and travels through
various packet queues before being transmitted over the air. Thus, the serial flow control has no affect in
terminal server mode.
Inter-Frame Gap (chars)
This parameter defines the gap between successive serial data frames. It is used to delimit the serial data
to define the end of a packet. The Inter-Frame Gap limits are 0.5 to 16 chars. The default setting is 3.5
chars.

SNMPv3 Authentication Passphrase
The Authentication Passphrases can be changed via SNMP (not SuperVisor).
When viewing / managing the details of the users via SNMP, the standard SNMP-USER-BASED-SM-MIB
interface is used. This interface can be used to change the Authentication Passphrase of the users.
The Authentication Passphrase of the user required to be changed cannot be changed by the same user i.e
a different user must be used for the transactions.
To change a user authentication passphrase:
1. SET the usmUserStatus object for that user to ‘Not In Service’
2. GET the usmUserSpinLockobject
3. SET the usmUserSpinLockobject with the value that was just GOT in the previous step
4. SET the usmUserAuthKeyChange to the new Authentication key string
5. SET the usmUserPrivKeyChangeto the new Privacy key string
6. SET the usmUserStatus object for that user to ‘Active’
Note that the key string for steps 4 and 5 are 32 octet hexadecimal values. This string is generated based
on the ‘old passphrase’ and ‘new passphrase’ as specified in RFC2274.
The utility ‘encode_keychange.exe’, available from NET-SNMP open source applications, can be used to
generate this string.
An example command to generate a new Authentication key string for the default desUserMD5 is:
encode_keychange –t md5 –O “desUserMD5” –N “desUserMD5Auth” –E 0x0100DC
An example command to generate a new Privacy key string for the default desUserMD5 is:
encode_keychange –t md5 –O “desUserMD5” –N “desUserMD5Priv” –E 0x0100DC
These command executions will return a 32 Octet Hexadecimal string that can be used in steps 4 and 5
above.

Security > SNMP
In addition to web-based management (SuperVisor), the network can also be managed using the Simple
Network Management Protocol (SNMP). MIB files are supplied, and these can be used by a dedicated SNMP
Manager, such as Castle Rock’s SNMPc, to access most of the radio’s configurable parameters.
For communication between the SNMP manager and the radio, Access Controls and Community strings
must be set up as described in the following sections.
A SNMP Community String is used to protect against unauthorized access (similar to a password). The
SNMP agent (radio or SNMP manager) will check the community string before performing the task
requested in the SNMP message.
ACCESS CONTROL SETUP
A SNMP Access Control is the IP address of the radio used by an SNMP manager or any other SNMP device
to access the radio. The Aprisa SR allows access to the radio from any IP address.
Read Only
The default Read Only community string is public.
Read Write
The default ReadWrite community string is private.
Aprisa SR User Manual
Managing the Radio | 125
SNMP Manager Setup
The SNMP manager community strings must be setup to access the base station and remote / repeater
stations.
To access the base station, a community string must be setup on the SNMP manager the same as the
community string setup on the radio (see ‘Security > SNMP’ on page 124).
SNMP access to remote / repeater stations can be achieved by using the radio’s IP address and the normal
community string or by proxy in the base station.
SNMP Access via Base Station Proxy
To access the remote / repeater stations via the base station proxy, the community strings must be setup
on the SNMP manager in the format:
ccccccccc:bbbbbb
Where:
ccccccccc is the community string of the base station
and
bbbbbb is the last 3 bytes of the remote station MAC address (see ‘Network Status > Network Table’
on page 167) for the remote station MAC address.
The SNMP Proxy Support must be enabled for this method of SNMP access to operate (see ‘SNMP Proxy
Support’ on page 120).

Node Registration Retry (sec)
This parameter sets the base station poll time at startup or the remote / repeater station time between
retries until registered. The default setting is 10 seconds.
Base Station Announcement Period (min)
This parameter sets the period between base station polls post startup. The default setting is 1440
minutes (24 hours).
When a new base station powers on, it announces its presence and each remote that receives the
announcement message will be advised that a new base station is present and that they should re-register.
This allows the new base station to populate its Network Table, with knowledge of the nodes in the
network.
If, during this initial period, there is some temporary path disturbance to one or more remotes, they may
miss the initial announcement messages and be left unaware of the base station change. For this reason,
the base station must periodically send out announcement messages to pick up any stray nodes and the
period of these messages is the base station Announcement Period.
Setting this parameter to 0 will stop periodic announcement messages being transmitted.
If a critical parameter is changed in the base station, such as IP address, then the change is distributed to
the network using base station announcement message. Note that in this case, an announcement is sent
immediately independent of the Announcement Period setting.

Note: Take care using this option.
Broadcast Time
This parameter when activated sends the base station Date / Time setting to all the remote and repeater
stations in the network and sets their Date / Time. This option applies to the base station only.
Automatic Route Rediscovery
This parameter enables the radio to transmit route discovery messages when packets are unacknowledged.
When enabled, unacknowledged unicast packets are converted into uni-broadcast messages and sent
through the network. All nodes see the message and populate their routing tables accordingly.
When the destination node is reached, it sends a route response message via the shortest path. The
intermediate nodes see this message and populate their routing tables in the reverse direction, thus reestablishing the route.
The default setting is disabled.

This parameter is only applicable when the radio is part of a Protected Station.
This RF Interface MAC address is used to define the MAC address of the Protection Switch. This address is

The Major severity level indicates that a service affecting condition has developed and
an urgent corrective action is required. Such a severity can be reported, for example,
when there is a severe degradation in the capability of the managed object and its full
capability must be restored.
Minor
The Minor severity level indicates the existence of a non-service affecting fault
condition and that corrective action should be taken in order to prevent a more serious
(for example, service affecting) fault.
Such a severity can be reported, for example, when the detected alarm condition is not
currently degrading the capacity of the managed object.
Warning
The Warning severity level indicates the detection of a potential or impending service
affecting fault, before any significant effects have been felt. Action should be taken to
further diagnose (if necessary) and correct the problem in order to prevent it from
becoming a more serious service affecting fault.

Start Transfer
This parameter when activated distributes (broadcasts) the new Software Pack to all remote stations in
the network.
Note: The distribution of software to remote stations does not stop customer traffic from being
transferred. However, due to the volume of traffic, the software distribution process may affect customer
traffic.
Software distribution traffic is classified as ‘management traffic’ but does not use the Ethernet
management priority setting. Software distribution traffic priority has a fixed priority setting of ‘very
low’.
To distribute software to remote stations:
This process assumes that a Software Pack has been loaded into the base station with the file transfer
process (see ‘Software > File Transfer’ on page 156).
1. To ensure that the Network Table is up to date, it is recommended running the node discover function
(see ‘Discover Nodes’ on page 142).
2. Click on ‘Start Transfer’.

In-Service Commissioning
Before You Start
When you have finished installing the hardware, RF and the traffic interface cabling, the system is ready
to be commissioned. Commissioning the radio is a simple process and consists of:
1. Powering up the radios.
2. Configuring all radios in the network using SuperVisor.
3. Aligning the antennas.
4. Testing that the links are operating correctly.
5. Connecting up the client or user interfaces.
What You Will Need
Appropriately qualified commissioning staff at both ends of each link.
Safety equipment appropriate for the antenna location at both ends of each link.
Communication equipment, that is, mobile phones or two-way radios.
SuperVisor software running on an appropriate laptop, computer, or workstation at the base
station radio.
Tools to facilitate loosening and re-tightening the antenna pan and tilt adjusters.
Predicted receiver input levels and fade margin figures from the radio link budget.
Aprisa SR User Manual
Managing the Radio | 219
Antenna Alignment
A base station omni directional collinear antenna has a vertical polarization. The remote station yagi
antennas must also have vertical polarization.
Aligning the Antennas
Align the remote station yagi antennas by making small adjustments while monitoring the RSSI. The Aprisa
SR has a Test Mode which presents a real time visual display of the RSSI on the front panel LEDs. This can
be used to adjust the antenna for optimum signal strength (see ‘Test Mode’ on page 28).
Note: Low gain antennas need less adjustment in elevation as they are simply aimed at the horizon. They
should always be panned horizontally to find the peak signal.
1. Press and hold the ENTER button on the radio LED panel until all the LEDs flash green (about 3 - 5
seconds).
Note: The time for the LEDs to display the RSSI result is variable, depending on the network traffic,
and can be up to 5 seconds. Small antenna adjustments should be made and then wait for the display
to refresh.
The RSSI poll refresh rate can be set with the SuperVisor command ‘Transmit Period’ (see
‘Maintenance > Test Mode’ on page 137).
2. Move the antenna through a complete sweep horizontally (pan). Note down the RSSI reading for all the
peaks in RSSI that you discover in the pan.
3. Move the antenna to the position corresponding to the maximum RSSI value obtained during the pan.
Move the antenna horizontally slightly to each side of this maximum to find the two points where the
RSSI drops slightly.
4. Move the antenna halfway between these two points and tighten the clamp.
5. If the antenna has an elevation adjustment, move the antenna through a complete sweep (tilt)
vertically. Note down the RSSI reading for all the peaks in RSSI that you discover in the tilt.
6. Move the antenna to the position corresponding to the maximum RSSI value obtained during the tilt.
Move the antenna slightly up and then down from the maximum to find the two points where the RSSI
drops slightly.
7. Move the antenna halfway between these two points and tighten the clamp.
8. Recheck the pan (steps 2-4) and tighten all the clamps firmly.
9. To exit Test Mode, press and hold the ENTER button until all the LEDs flash red (about 3 – 5 seconds).

Radio Software Upgrade
A software upgrade can be performed on a single radio or an entire Aprisa SR network (network).
Network Software Upgrade
This process allows customers to upgrade their Aprisa SR network from the central base station location
without need for visiting remote sites.
The Software Pack is loaded into the base station with the file transfer process (see ‘Software > File
Transfer’ on page 156) and distributed via the radio link to all remote stations.
When all remote stations receive the Software Pack version, the software can be remotely activated on all
remote stations.
Upgrade Process
The Aprisa SR network upgrade operation is indicated in base station and remote stations by a flashing
orange AUX LED.
To upgrade the entire Aprisa SR network software:
1. Using File Transfer, load the software pack into the base station (see ‘Software > File Transfer’ on
page 156).
2. Distribute the software to the entire network of remote radios (see ‘Software > Remote Distribution’
on page 162).
Note: The distribution of software to remote stations does not stop customer traffic from being
transferred. However, due to the volume of traffic, the software distribution process may affect customer
traffic.
Software distribution traffic is classified as ‘management traffic’ but does not use the Ethernet
management priority setting. Software distribution traffic priority has a fixed priority setting of ‘very
low’.
3. Activate the software on the entire network of remote radios (see ‘Software > Remote Activation’ on
page 164).
Where the new software has been activated, remote stations will re-register with the base station.
The remote stations software version can verified with ‘Network Status > Network Table’ on page 167.
4. Activate the software on the base station radio (see ‘Software > Manager’ on page 159).
Aprisa SR User Manual
Maintenance | 223
Single Radio Software Upgrade
The software upgrade procedure is different for an Aprisa SR Protected Station (see ‘Protected Station
Software Upgrade’ on page 35).
Note: If a radio has been configured for a Protection Type of ‘Redundant’ (see ‘Protected Station:
Terminal > Operating Mode’ on page 178), and that radio is no longer part of a Protected Station, the
Protection Type must be changed to ‘None’ before the radio software upgrade can be achieved.
File Transfer Method
This process allows customers to upgrade a single Aprisa SR radio.
The Software Pack is loaded into the radio with the file transfer process (see ‘Software > File Transfer’ on
page 156) and activated (see ‘Software > Manager’ on page 159).
Upgrade Process
The Aprisa SR upgrade operation is indicated by a flashing orange AUX LED.
To upgrade the Aprisa SR radio software:
1. Unzip the software release files in to the root directory of a USB flash drive.
2. Check that the SuperVisor USB Boot Upgrade setting is set to ‘Disabled’ (see ‘Software > Setup’ on
page 155).
3. Insert the USB flash drive into the Host Port
4. Using File Transfer, load the software pack into the radio (see ‘Software > File Transfer’ on page 156).
5. Activate the software on the radio (see ‘Software > Manager’ on page 159).
Aprisa SR User Manual
224 | Maintenance
USB Boot Upgrade Method
A single Aprisa SR radio can also be upgraded simply by plugging a USB flash drive containing the new
software into the USB A host port
on the Aprisa SR front panel and power cycling the radio.
Upgrade Process
To upgrade the Aprisa SR radio software:
1. Unzip the software release files in to the root directory of a USB flash drive.
2. Check that the SuperVisor USB Boot Upgrade setting is set to ‘Load and Activate’ (see ‘Software >
Setup’ on page 155).
3. Power off the Aprisa SR and insert the USB flash drive into the Host Port
4. Power on the Aprisa SR.
5. The software upgrade process is complete when the OK LED lights solid orange. This can take about 2
minutes.
The software will have loaded in to the radio Software Pack location.
6. Remove the USB flash drive from the Host Port
7. Power cycle the Aprisa SR.
Login to the radio being upgraded and go to SuperVisor ‘Software > Manager’ on page 159.
The version of the uploaded software will be displayed in the Software Pack ‘Version’ field.
If the upgrade process did not start, the Aprisa SR could already be operating on the version of software
on the USB flash drive. This will be indicated by flashing OK LED and then the OK, DATA and CPU will light
steady green.
Aprisa SR User Manual
Maintenance | 225
If the radio is not operating on the new software (after the power cycle), it could be caused by the
SuperVisor ‘USB Boot Upgrade’ setting set to ‘Load Only’ (see ‘Software > Setup’ on page 155).
In this case, go to SuperVisor see ‘Software > Manager’ on page 159 and tick the Software Pack ‘Activate’
checkbox and click ‘Appy’.
If any Display Panel LED flashes red or is steady red during the upgrade process, it indicates that the
upgrade has failed. This could be caused by incorrect files on the USB flash drive or a radio hardware
failure.
Software Downgrade
Radio software can also be downgraded if required. This may be required if a new radio is purchased for
an existing network which is operating on an earlier software release.
The downgrade process is the same as the upgrade process.

13. Product End Of Life
End-of-Life Recycling Programme (WEEE)
The WEEE Directive concerns the recovery, reuse, and recycling of electronic and electrical equipment.
Under the Directive, used equipment must be marked, collected separately, and disposed of properly.
4RF has implemented an end-of-life recycling programme to manage the reuse, recycling, and recovery of
waste in an environmentally safe manner using processes that comply with the WEEE Directive (EU Waste
Electrical and Electronic Equipment 2002/96/EC).
The WEEE Symbol Explained
This symbol appears on Electrical and Electronic Equipment (EEE) as part of the WEEE (Waste EEE)
directive. It means that the EEE may contain hazardous substances and must not be thrown away with
municipal or other waste.
WEEE Must Be Collected Separately
You must not dispose of electrical and electronic waste with municipal and other waste. You must
separate it from other waste and recycling so that it can be easily collected by the proper regional WEEE
collection system in your area.
YOUR ROLE in the Recovery of WEEE
By separately collecting and properly disposing of WEEE, you are helping to reduce the amount of WEEE
that enters the waste stream.
One of the aims of the WEEE directive is to divert EEE away from landfill and encourage recycling.
Recycling EEE means that valuable resources such as metals and other materials (which require energy to
source and manufacture) are not wasted. Also, the pollution associated with accessing new materials and
manufacturing new products is reduced.
EEE Waste Impacts the Environment and Health
Electrical and electronic equipment (EEE) contains hazardous substances which have potential effects on
the environment and human health. If you want environmental information on the Aprisa SR radio, contact
us (on page 15).
