Short ID: This value is the low order 10 bits
of the ID Number. It is used to identify
online diagnostics only. It may not be
modified directly using the T96HRSS; it
is always derived from the ID Number.
All units within a network should have
unique Short ID numbers to avoid ambiguity in Online Diagnostics reports.
1.10 Diagnostics and
Remote Commands
Diagnostics and remote commands are
processed using the T96H Offline Diagnostics software (OFLNDIAG). Diagnostics
can be monitored using the T96H Online
Diagnostics Monitor program (ONDMON).
Either the T96HRSS or OFLNDIAG may be
used to check the value of the Short ID.
When setting up a network, we recommend
checking each unit to make sure that there is
no duplication of Short ID numbers. Duplications may be resolved by changing the ID
Number.
The T-96H has the following diagnostic and
command features:
Online diagnostics. Information is automatically sent by each unit at the beginning of every transmission. May be disabled for back compatibility with
DATARADIO T-Modem 96 or Motorola
RNET 9600.
Offline diagnostics. Information is sent by a
specific unit in response to an inquiry
by the master or monitoring station.
Remote commands. Commands may be sent
by the master or monitoring station to
any specific remote unit.
If ID Numbers are set so that their value is
within the range of 1 to 1023, the ID Number and the Short ID will always have the
same value. Customers may find this to be a
convenience.
1.10.2 Online Diagnostics
Online diagnostics (statistics) require the
use of a network configuration such as that
specified in section 1.11.2. or 1.11.4 Online
diagnostics do not interfere with normal
network operation. The following information is gathered:
1.10.1 Addressing
Each T-96H has addressing capability which
is used for diagnostics and remote commands only. Two addresses are used:
ID Number: This value (maximum 1023) is
assigned at the factory but may be modified using the T96RSS. The ID Number
is used to uniquely identify the T-96H
for remote commands and offline diagnostics. The ID Number may have values within the range of 1 to 99,999,999
but multiples of 1024 should not be
used.

network operation temporarily be suspended.
The following commands may be sent remotely (using the OFLNDIAG).
•
Begin test transmission (several types
available).
• Get statistics (diagnostics).
• Sample network statistics (monitoring
online diagnostics).
• Get parameters (configuration) from

Operation
See Table 3 - RTS / CTS Delays for
actual value.
2. Data are transmitted as long as RTS is
asserted and the PTT timer, if enabled,
has not expired. RTS can be dropped
after the last stop bit of the last character has been given to the T-96H. CTS
will be dropped when the last character
has been transmitted on the network.
The T-96H operates transparently at the
speed set using the Radio Service Software
(T96HRSS) and is designed to operate unattended. Basic operation is as follows.
1. The DTE starts a data transfer by asserting RTS. CTS is returned after the
transmitter has been keyed and a modem
synchronization preamble sent.
120 10503-201 PRELIMINARY
T-96S Technical Manual
3. In the idle mode, i.e. no transmission or
reception, RX Data will be held in the
idle (i.e. “marking”) condition.
4. When a valid radio data signal is received, DCD will be asserted and data
will be delivered.
5. When the radio carrier is dropped, the
T-96H will clamp RX Data idle (marking) again and drop DCD. At 19200 b/s
a few extraneous bits may be delivered
after the carrier is dropped (sometimes
called “bit dribble”). User software
should take this possibility into account.
2.5.1 RTS/CTS Timing
The T-96H asserts CTS after RTS has been
asserted and a sufficient time has elapsed to
allow modem synchronization. The times
are fixed at the factory and are not user–
adjustable.
Repeater mode (Extended time) must be set
(via the T96HRSS) if the unit is to communicate through a repeater.
Times are increased if online diagnostics
are enabled, as shown in the columns diag.
on.

by the extraneous bits. This quiet period is
selected via the T96RSS.
This mode extends all RTS/CTS delays by 5

2.5.3 Extended Turnoff
An end–of–transmission quiet period approximately 8 characters long can be invoked on the T-96H by holding its tranmitter on briefly after RTS is dropped. This
quiet period, which occurs between the last
valid data character and any possible extraneous “noise” bits, may be of benefit to
some DTE

3. Adjustments and
Maintenance
1.1
3.4.1 Preliminary Verification
Before performing any adjustments, verify the
performance of the unit as shown in the Table 5
for full channel units in the Table 6 for half
channel units.
Overview
This chapter outlines the basic adjustment procedures required upon initial installation and
thereafter at prescribed maintenance intervals.
Units are delivered from the factory properly
aligned and tested on the frequencies specified
at time of order. Adjustment beyond that described in this chapter is not required unless radio modules have been tampered with or repaired. In such cases we recommend complete
factory re-alignment as special test jigs are required.
3.1
Important Note: Before proceeding make
sure that the service monitor has been calibrated recently and has warmed up for at
least the time specified by its manufacturer.
Some reported frequency and deviation problems have actually been erroneous indications
from service monitors that have not adequately
warmed up. This is particularly likely when
field service is done during winter months.

Three channel select inputs, ESD protected by D1,2,3, in parallel with the onboard DIP switches, are read by the CPU
to select the active channel. The fourth
DIP switch puts the unit in TEST mode,
which sends a test, tone (data rate/4).
RECEIVE DATA
Received signals are applied to the RXA
pin on P1-13 and amplified by U7A,
whose gain is set by the electronic potentiometer U9A, then filtered by U12.
The same filter circuit is used for transmission and reception: two analog multiplexer/demultiplexer gates (U11 A and
B) controlled by TX_EN line are used
for sharing. The filter U12 cut-off frequency is programmable by the CPU,
based on the data rate. The analog signal
is then fed to Peak Detectors U7C and
U7D, to the slicer circuit U8C via U7B
and U8B. The resulting synchronous bit
stream is converted to asynchronous at
U2 and shifted to RS-232 levels by U1.
The main DC power (13.3V nom.)
coming from J1.5,10 is filtered out for
tranzient and then sent directly to powerup the radio module at P1.2. Voltage
Regulator U14 (AVCC) provides 5 V
for the receiver RX_5V and analog modem circuitry, while U13 (DVCC) provides 5V for the CPU and other digital
logic.
4.6 MISCELLANEOUS
FUNCTIONS
U4 generates a power-on reset for the
CPU and U3 is a temperature sensor
used by the firmware to compensate for
variations in RSSI.
4.4 SYNTHESIZER
PROGRAMMING
The RF module’s RSSI output, P1-12, is
read by an analog input on the CPU,
which implements a squelch threshold in
software. Other analog inputs are used
to read ambient temperature (used to
correct RSSI variations) and various internal voltages (B+_LVL, AVCC, etc.).
The CPU programs the RF module synthesizer serially on each Tx/Rx transition. Logic of U1 and U11A/B switch
the receive and transmit data path from
the modem to the radio and/or the external serial port, under CPU control. The
CPU also controls the sync/async con1
The DTR_PGM input, J2-10, puts the
CPU in programming mode in which the
CPU accepts commands and setup data
from the Radio Service Software.
