One of these is reserved for the “Door Open” alarm (Not yet implemented) and the rest are currently not pre-defined for a specific function. All alarm inputs are provided with a 1Kohm resistor to +5V. To activate an alarm the input shall be grounded. The BS is also provided with 3 alarm outputs currently not allocated any specific function. The outputs are open collector outputs capable of sinking 0.25A. The outputs are protected for inductive transients with 36V zener diodes. The alarm connections are provided with LSA-type connections, accepting solid wires with the dimension 0.4mm2 to 0.6 mm2. 1.3.8 Back-up battery for BS41x 1.3.8.1 Introduction This application note describes how to attach a backup battery to the BS41x Tetra Base Stations. All the BS41x versions are powered with one or several PS411 Power Supplies. The PS411 can be powered directly from an external DC source of –48V. The PS411 can also be powered directly from AC mains of 100 to 240V, 47-63Hz without any battery backup. This mode is convenient at test of the Base Station. The standard installations, however, is the combination of AC mains power feed with a –48V lead-acid backup battery connected. The PS411 has all the build-in features to have the battery connected and charge it. This allows uninterrupted service for a period depending on the size of the battery. For very service-critical systems this can be extended with a Diesel generator starting automatically after a certain period of battery operation. All BS versions can be connected to an external –48V lead-acid battery. The external battery kit includes a circuit breaker to protect the battery and the TS411 temperature sensor to allow the PS411 to provide a temperature compensated charging voltage. 1.3.8.2 Selecting external batteries Several issues should be taken into account, when selecting batteries. In general, only battery types intended for use as back-up battery in telecom systems should be used.
Doc. No. Rev. Date DRAFT 1.01 2012-01-27 Damm Cellular Systems A/S, Denmark TetraFlex® 7.5 Manual - BS41x TetraFlex® 7.5 Manual 1-31 The battery lifetime is a critical parameter. High quality back-up batteries normally have a specified lifetime of 10-15 years at normal room temperature. The batteries should also be of the gas-tight type when co-located with the BS to avoid corrosive gases, which may damage the electronics. A battery capacity of 48V 50Ah would be a typical choice for a 4-carrier BS. The picture below shows an example of such a battery. The following estimated back-up times is being achieved with a 50Ah battery (weight about 130kg): Note that for higher load current the efficiency of the battery drops considerably below the 100%. For the 8-carrier Base Station a 100Ah battery could be considered (weight about 250kg). 1.3.8.3 External battery installation The connections needed for the battery attachment is shown on the schematics below Base Station size Current Backup time 2-carrier 6A 8 hours 4-carrier 11A 4 hours 6-carrier 16A 2.5 hours 8-carrier 21A 1.8 hours

The nominal current shall be higher than the peak charging/discharging current to avoid unintended disconnects. The Base Station should be connected to the battery with 10 mm2 blue and black wires. In addition, a 15mm2 yellow/green wire shall connect protective ground on the rack to ground on the battery, which should be connected to the plus-pole of the battery. The Base Station itself (and optionally the battery) shall be provided with an effective grounding. The TS411 temperature sensor shall be located at the battery and connected to the BS in the connection box with the delivered 10m of cable. The cable is a standard 4-wire telephone cable provided with two 4-pole RJ11 plugs (narrow types). The cable can be extended if needed. 1.3.8.4 Battery charging The PS411 contains configuration settings to control the charging of a –48V battery. If charging is not selected the PS411 gives a fixed output voltage of –48V DC. If charging is selected and the TS411 is properly attached, the PS411 changes to charging mode. The output voltage is then increased to the correct charging voltage selected with the configuration settings normally controlled from the BSC. The output voltage is calculated from the nominal charging voltage at 25 Celsius, e.g. 2.25V DC per cell and the required temperature compensation, e.g. –72mV per Celsius. With these values the voltages would be: Temperature V-charge -20 Celsius 57.2V +25 Celsius 54.0V +55 Celsius 51.8V

That means, that BSC’s, TR’s etc. without a WAN connection cannot access the outside world and cannot be accessed from the outside world. Only system components with a WAN connection have a risk to get infected, including Gateways, Log Servers, Terminal Servers etc., all entities, which if present need external access. Any virus problem on systems have been closely watched for a period of time, but so far no infections have been observed. Regarding system components WITHOUT a WAN connection, it is most safe to proceed without any virus protection as we do today. This is of cause under the presumptions that the operator has control with external media as USB sticks, CD etc. These media must be virus free before inserted or connected to the system. Installing a virus protection would create the need of opening up access to an update server, which would increase the risk that viruses could penetrate into the internal LAN area. 2.2.2 Virus Threat The major threat for a system is that viruses will infect the system components with WAN access. These components will either be a Damm BSC running Windows or a PC with a full Windows installation. The major source of infection is normally via E-mails and via Home pages. It is therefore strongly recommended never to use any computer in a system for these tasks. 2.2.2.1 Standard PC For standard PC’s running Windows and used for tetra applications or running a BSC the firewall can be kept activated. It is just needed to include the programs in the exception list. Window XP SP3 and Windows 7 ask automatically, whether you want to do that. In addition, it is recommended to have an anti-virus program running on these computers. Internally at DAMM, AVG antivirus is used and can be recommended. This gives a reasonable protection, and no issues have been seen regarding conflicts between AVG and Tetra applications. The Log Server (TetraFlex® only) could have some performance degradation during scanning, whereas the BSC is running with higher priority and is not expected to be degraded. Scanning should be setup to run in the night when system activity is low. No experience has been gained with other anti-virus programs.

Attempts have earlier been made to get AVG installed, but AVG does not accept the product code of Windows Embedded, and DAMM has not succeeded to get AVG to implement the needed changes. 2.2.3 MS Security Essentials Microsoft has recently released their new Microsoft Security Essentials. At present this is not compatible with the BSC. In case installation has been attempted, an error message DATA ENCRYPTION detected an error in the protocol stream and has disconnected the client may appear when attempt is made to connect via the remote desktop To correct this, refer to the following Microsoft KB article http://support.microsoft.com/kb/323497

There was coherency between number of “Sites” and number of “Radio sites”. The DAMM TetraFlex® concept opens for “Sites” that is not a “Radio site” but a “Gateway site”, a “NM site” or a “Log Server site”, and that one physical “Site” can be both a “Radio site” but also a “Gateway site”. Therefore “Node” is introduced. A node is consequently: Any PC running BSC.exe software, except for a redundant BSC A site is consequently: The geographical position of nodes or equipment 2.3.1.2 Dongle types NOTE: TetraFlex® V7.20 and forward require a new type of dongle. If no encryption key is required in the dongle, it is possible to order a number of empty spare dongles and remotely upgrade these as needed. If encryption key is required and dongle is to be used at the node containing the master subscriber register, the dongle must be ordered from DAMM sales. Currently there are 5 types of dongles: o Node license dongle  Including possible settings for Node, API, Packet Data, Voice GW and Log Server o API client dongle o Dispatcher dongle o Log Server/ log client dongle o Spare dongle All dongles are programmed with: o Dongle hardware serial number. o DAMM dongle serial number.

The actual TetraFlex configuration should be copied from the old to the new CF card (the configuration is stored in C:\Tetra\Active\data\. The Service box with the Log Server needs also to have 1GB RAM to function properly. 2.4.3.3 Installing a new image on SB421 and BSC412 If this procedure is not followed, and the upgrade is done remotely, the remote connection to the system might be lost and it is necessary to go on site for configuration. NOTE: Always use CF-card delivered from DAMM that are prepared to be bootable from either BSC 412 or SB421. Having any configuration files on the cf-card they should be backed up, otherwise they are lost. If you want to be able to use the old sw version again Copy drive C: (CF-P1) to drive D: (CF-P2). The new image can be downloaded from DAMM’s web site (see chapter “Partners access to Software Releases”. Before using the image – please unzip. Use a PC and place the unzipped files in a directory e.g. \Image. Always check the Application Date Limit on the Dongle before installing new software. If the the Application Date Limit is older than the date of the software version you are installing, it will not work. o Move the flash disk to an external card reader and check if it is formatted (C: NTFS format, label CF-P1) and copy the new image to the partition CF-P1) o Place the CF Card in the BSC412 or SB421 and reboot. After a while the“FBReseale” dialog appears, please be patient it takes a while.

Date DRAFT 1.01 2012-01-27 Damm Cellular Systems A/S, Denmark TetraFlex® 7.5 Manual - Software installation TetraFlex® 7.5 Manual 2-52 If you are allowed to restart the BSC you may place the Dispatcher files in c:\tetra\update\pgm\dispatcher\ They will then be copied to the right directory when activating “BSC BackupUpdateRestart” Having any unwanted files in any of the above mentioned folders (e.g. from older installations) please delete them before copying the new Dispatcher installation files. 2.4.4.6 Log Server The Log Server is available either as an external Log Server or installed on the 8GByte Compact Flash card. The Log Server requires at least 1GB RAM to operate properly. The log server is as default stopped and need to be restarted when needed. To upgrade an existing Log Server to release 7.5 the Log Server must be stopped, all files and folders from C: \Tetra\Active\Pgm\LogServer\ and C: \Tetra\Active\Pgm\LogClient\ must be copied to the unit where the Log Server is installed. The Log Server can then be restarted using the start menu TetraFlex → LogServer Restart. The Log Server is now running and the Log Client installation files are ready for distribution via the "TetraFlex" share C:\Tetra\Share\LogClient\ Note: The database for ver. 7.5 is not compatible with earlier versions. When restarting - the new log server is making a copy of the old database - and it is starting with a new empty database. The old database is stored in a folder with ver. no and date like: \TetraFlexLogDB_4_0_20110912_103145 If you want to use the subscriber information in the Logserver from you ver. 7.4 database it can be copied from the ver. 7.4 to ver 7.5 database following this procedure: a. Stop the Log Server and MySql server service b. Copy the following files from the old database to the new: i. MsLogConfig.myd ii. MsLogConfig.myi iii. MsLogConfig.frm c. Start the MySql server service and the Log Server again. If using a database older than ver. 7.4 you have to contact DAMM for converting the subscriber data. 2.4.4.7 Log Client The Log Client applications may be installed on an external PC work station with the appropriate dongle. Install the Log Client by connecting to the Log Server (on SB421, BSC412 or external logserver) with the file explorer. Find the folder Log Client using the TetraFlex share (C:\Tetra\share\LogClient) and execute the LogClientInstall.vbs. When the Log Client shortcut is executed, the new and the old LogClient.exe are compared. If they differ a backup of the old Log Client files will be made and all the Log Client files are copied from the Log Server to the local machine, except for the LogClient.ini file. If they are equal the local Log Client files will be executed without copying.

The IP address may be assigned by means of DHCP. This means that the SB421 must first be started. When the SB421 is started her after the BS421/1 must be started and then in a dual carrier system the BS421/2. The BS421 gets an IP address from the PC’s DHCP server. This IP address is tied to the BS421 MAC address. If the MAC address is unknown to the PC, the BS421 will be assigned an IP in the range 172.16.1.200 - 249. In this case the BS421 IP address must be changed. 2.6.1.1.3 Changing the BS421 IP o Open C:\Program Files\DHCPServer\dhcpsrv.ini with notepad or another text editor. o (Hint: save a backup of the original file before editing) NOTE: All entries above the dotted line are factory presets and must only be changed for redundant SB421 (change IP Bind to 172.16.1.19) or when IP address segments must be changed.
