Important Information
1.1 Antenna Installation Warnings
1. All antenna installation and servicing is to be performed by qualified technical
personnel only. When servicing the antenna, or working at distances closer than those
listed below, ensure the transmitter has been disabled.
2. Depending upon the application and the gain of the antenna, the total composite
power could exceed 90 watts EIRP. For fixed/mobile configuration, the distances in the
table below must be followed.
Antenna Gain vs. Minimum Safety Distance
(Based upon a 50% Duty Cycle, 0 dB Feedline Loss) Uncontrolled Exposure limits

1.2 ESD Notice
To prevent malfunction or damage to this product, which may be caused by Electrostatic
Discharge (ESD), the radio should be properly grounded at the time of installation. In addition,
the installer or maintainer should follow proper ESD precautions, such as touching a bare metal
object to dissipate body charge, prior to touching components or connecting/disconnecting
cables.
1.3 FCC Approval Notice
This device is offered as a licensed transmitter in per FCC Part 90. It is approved for use under
the following conditions: Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance will void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.
1.4 FCC Part 15 Notice

device, pursuant to Part 15 of the FCC Rules.
Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) this device may not cause interference,
and (2) this device must accept any interference, including interference that may cause undesired
operation of the device. Changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party
responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment.
1.5 Industry Canada ICES-003 and RSS-119 (Pending)
This Class A digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003 and with RSS-119. Cet appareil
numérique de la classe A est conforme à la norme NMB-003 du Canada.
2 Introduction
The GE MDS TD 220 is a 25-Watt 220 MHz GMSK data radio intended for bridging ITCS messages
over the air between locomotives and wayside devices. The data interface is Ethernet, with
UDP-encapsulated ITCS message payload.
Each second is divided into 8 133-byte time slots. The first of the 8 timeslots each second is
always reserved for bases to transmit beacon information to the mobiles in the area. Following
the beacon are 4 (or 5) time slots that are always reserved for mobiles to transmit. At the end
of each second, are 3 (or 2) time slots that can be used by bases or mobiles. These slots are
used with the following priority: the previous base, the current base, and then mobiles. In
other words, during second 1 in the table below, base A actually has priority over the last three
slots. If A does not use them, B can use them. If B does not use them, mobiles can. Bases
reserve these time slots with flags in the beacon. This scheme maximizes the potential for
utilizing all slots.

4 Common Setup Tasks
4.1 Key the Transmitter for Test Purposes
1.
2.
3.
4.
Log in to the radio on its COM1 console using a serial terminal emulator program.
Go to the Radio Configuration menu.
Select the frequency for the test transmission.
Select the RF Output Power to use. Note that power levels greater than 2 Watts will
timeout after a 5-second period by default. Ensure ventilation with supplemental
forced airflow if longer durations are desired.
5. Select the Force TX Key menu option.
6. When finished, deselect the Force TX Key menu option.
4.2 Prepare the Network Interface for a Radio
Each radio is assigned an IP Address, a Netmask, and a Gateway IP Address. The IP Address and
Netmask should be chosen carefully. The radio will network directly with other equipment
with IP Addresses that are on a common Subnet. IP Addresses that begin with the same
numerical IP address bits where the Netmask is one will be on the same Subnet. For example,
if the IP Address is 10.4.100.1 and the Netmask is 255.255.0.0, the radio will attempt direct
Ethernet communication with any node whose IP Address begins with 10.4. If a message is
bound for a node outside of the 10.4 network, it will be sent to the Gateway IP address instead
so that it can be placed from the radio’s subnet onto another subnet.
1.
2.
3.
4.
5.
6.
Log in to the radio on its COM1 console using a serial terminal emulator program.
Go to the IP Configuration menu.
Set the IP address of the radio, plus the Netmask and Gateway.
Go to the Maintenance/Tools Menu and select the Ping Utility.
Enter the IP address of a known node on the network.
Execute the Ping and observe the results. If the network interface is working properly,
Ping responses should be received.

If not already done, complete steps from 4.2 above.
Log in to the radio.
Go to the System Configuration menu.
Set the unit to Base mode and reboot if necessary.
Set the base type (A, B, or C).
Set the window size. Mobiles will transmit in a randomly selected available slot among
2^(Window Size) slots. For small networks, this can be 1. For larger networks, use a
Window Size that provides double or quadruple the number of mobiles expected under
one base at a time.
Set the IP Port on which the base will receive UDP messages from wayside devices.
Set up an ITCS Translation Table. For test purposes, this may be as simple as setting
up one known address with a mask of all “F’s”.
Verify Ethernet Link using the Ping utility in the Maintenance/Tools Menu.
Begin sending UDP data.
Verify the TX LED illuminates and the radio begins transmitting over the air.
4.4 Set Up a Mobile Unit
1. If not already done, complete steps from 4.2 above.
2. Log in to the radio.

Go to the System Configuration menu.
Set the unit to Mobile mode and reboot if necessary.
Set the IP Port to which the mobile will send messages received over the air.
Set the IP Port on which the mobile will accept incoming messages for transmission
over the air.
Verify Ethernet Link using the Ping utility in the Maintenance/Tools Menu.
Ensure at least one base is present in the neighborhood of this radio so that it can
detect beacons and synchronize timing.
Begin sending UDP data from a polling program.
Verify the TX LED illuminates and the radio begins transmitting over the air.
4.5 Perform Test Polling
1. Set up the Base and Mobile as above.
2. Connect as shown in the following diagram. Note: this is for bench testing only, i.e.
not for sensitivity testing. Sensitivity testing requires complete RF isolation or mixed
operation to prevent the leakage path from being the dominant RF path between units.
For bench testing, use attenuation so that the signal level at every unit that is
participating is around –70 to –50 dBm.

13. If additional visibility is desired, obtain itcslog.exe from GE MDS. This utility captures
messages from the logging output of the TD220 radios and displays statistics about
them. The IP Port Number is the port number configured on the radio for ITCS logging.

When a mobile is ready to transmit, it chooses at random from
2^(Window Size) slots to minimize collisions with other units.
Wayside devices send UDP messages to this IP port on the
radio’s network interface for transmission over the air.

Description
Each entry in this table contains a 32-bit Destination ITCS
