TECHNICAL NOTES MT-4 Radio Systems TN670 Stratus™ Controller The Stratus™ Controller is a general-purpose controller for routing digital P25 communications over a Wide Area Network (WAN) or Local Area Network (LAN). The Stratus™ Controller will work in digital clear or digital secure mode; it is fully capable of all operation with encrypted calls. The Stratus™ Controller will also route analog communications, but only in a full broadcast mode (ie. Analog signal received at one site will automatically be transmitted at all sites). FSI (version 2) will support more analog routing (CTCSS and DCS) and will be incorporated into the Stratus™ Controller in the future. The Stratus™ Controller uses the TIA-102 (P25) standard Digital Fixed Station Interface (DFSI) to link to FSI capable devices such as the Codan Universal Interface Card (UIC). The Stratus™ Controller can support both Fixed Station radios using the UIC, or emulate Fixed Station Radios allowing DFSI capable consoles to connect to the Stratus™ Controller. The Stratus™ Controller supports multivendor solutions for both radios and consoles through the FSI standard. The Stratus™ Controller is comprised of a server (located anywhere on the WAN / LAN) with embedded firmware.

Internet Email: LMRsales@codanradio.com Web: www.codanradio.com Page 1 of 4 TECHNICAL NOTES MT-4 Radio Systems TN670 Stratus™ Controller The Stratus™ Controller listens to all incoming data from every connected radio site and every console. Each connection (from site to site or console to site) uses routing rules configured in the software to decide on the routing path. These routing paths are determined by NAC or Talk Group ID. Each connection can use different mapping. The Stratus™ Controller has the capability to convert from any NAC to any Talk Group ID and vice versa. This allows for any combination of mapping (affiliating) between all sites using any type of P25 code. Local repeating (at the repeater site) will repeat ALL NACs since the receiver is programmed for $F7F at all sites. Local Repeating can be done through the Stratus™ Controller however, latency (200 – 700 ms depending on complexity) can occur. Each site can allow ALL Unit IDs, or can be programmed to allow specific Unit IDs per site. The Stratus™ Controller is not capable of routing based on Unit ID, but will block Units from sites. The Stratus™ Controller has the following capabilities / features: • Create an FSI Fixed Station connection • Create an FSI Gateway connection • Register P25 Talkgroups • Register P25 Subscriber units • Configure audio to be routed between specific FSI connections • Using NAC based routing • OR Talkgroup based routing • Translate NAC codes for re-broadcast • Log call activity and errors (playback not yet available) • Forced remote reset • Backup / Restore configuration files • Update Firmware • Buffer and correct network voice issues (with limitations) • When used with a Codan UIC card • Control channel selection • Local repeat / No repeat / Stratus Controller repeat selection • Read 9.5 VDC and 13.8 VDC voltage inputs • Read 4 Analog and 4 Digital General Purpose I/O (GPIO) status • Report Rx / Tx Status (Active / Inactive) 43 Erie Street Victoria, B.C.

This means that no software package is required for the Stratus™ Controller GUI. The Stratus™ Controller GUI has a secure login screen as shown in Figure 2. Figure 2: Stratus™ Controller GUI Secure Login The Stratus™ Controller GUI allows the user to configure both DFSI parameters for each radio site as well as multiple console DFSI connections through Fixed Site emulation, as shown in Figure 3.

Real-Time Site Monitoring is available through the GUI that can display frequently updated (< 5 seconds) system status as shown in Figure 4. The Stratus™ Controller GUI also has General purpose I/O (4 digital, 4 analog) and voltage monitoring capability for each radio site. Figure 4: Stratus™ Controller GUI Status The Stratus™ Controller GUI allows for NAC (Normal Squelch) OR Talk Group ID (Selective Squelch) routing, configurable at each site as shown in Figure 5. Priorities can also be set per site, for each NAC or TGID, to allow different users or groups higher or lower routing priority if a signaling conflict occurs. See Figure 6.
