Chapter 19www.javad.com INTRODUCTIONExternal extra rugged digital high power UHF radio transceiver programmable in frequency ranges from406 to 470 MHz. It has GMSK, DBPSK, DQPSK, 4FSK, D8PSK, and D16QAM modulations withadvanced forward error correction and data scrambling. The output power is programmable up to 4 W. Figure 1-1. HPT404BT1The HPT404BT radio transceiver provides a high-speed Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint wirelessdata transfer at up to 38.4 kbps. HPT404BT supports user selectable modulation techniques (GMSK,4FSK, DBPSK, DQPSK, D8PSK, or D16QAM), which allows the user to achieve the highest data speedfor a given range (up to 16 miles / 26 km). It also includes a selectable error correction, which improvesthe functioning of the radio modem under interference.The sophisticated features of HPT404BT include data scrambling, frequency hopping, user selectabletransmit output power level, low power consumption sleep modes, autoscanning and plug-and-playinstallation for remote terminals. The built-in software tools provide the wireless link testing, unit’s status and error statistics monitoring aswell as unit’s settings change over the air. The firmware of the HPT404BT radio transceiver resides in aflash memory. The updating of the radio modem programs is entirely software-based. The flash memoryis re-programmable through an RS232 interface, USB, Bluetooth, or over the air. The unit’s user settingscan be changed through the built-in Command Line interface (CLI), Tracy Software or throughModemVU.1. Other names for marketing purposes are HPT404, AW400BT, AW400 and AW400AF

Chapter 213www.javad.com CONFIGURATION2.1. Powering HPT404BTTo power HPT404BT use the Battery kit 1 (p/n 99-587300-10).Figure 2-1. Battery Kit 12.1.1. Power supply requirementsA single external power supply is necessary to operate HPT404BT. The external power supply needs tobe Listed for US and Certified for EU countries, it needs also to be a Limited Power Source and rated forOutdoor Use and have an output rated for +9 ... +36V, 4A. This may not be the same range as otherJAVAD GNSS products with which you are familiar.CAUTION:To avoid the introduction of hazards when operating and installing, before connecting of the equip-ment to the supply, make sure that the supply meets local and national safety ordinances andmatches the equipment’s voltage and current requirements.Never attempt any maintenance or cleaning of the supply while plugged in. Always remove supplyfrom AC power before attempting service or cleaning.Warning:If the voltage supplied is below the minimum specification, the modem will suspend operation. If the voltagesupplied is above the maximum specification, the modem may be permanently damaged, voiding yourwarranty.Make sure cords are located so that will not be stepped on, tripped over, or otherwise subjected todamage or stress. Do not operate equipment with a damaged cord or plug – replace immediately.To reduce the risk of damage to the equipment, pull by the plug body rather than the output cordwhen disconnecting the equipment.Do not operate the supply if it has received a sharp blow, been dropped, or otherwise damaged. Donot disassemble the supply.
ConfigurationAntenna InstallationPower supply requirements14 www.javad.comWarning:Before connecting the external power source and the modem, make sure that the power source matches themodem’s voltage and current requirements.2.2. Antenna InstallationWarning:To avoid the equipment serious damage, do not switch the modem to transmit mode if RF antenna is notconnected!Select the type of antenna that best fits your application and the one that offers the highest dB gain. Inaddition, setup your system in the highest possible location to minimize obstacles between thetransmitting and receiving systems. Always place the antenna on the highest point available. At aminimum, set the antenna to at least ten feet above the terrain using an antenna mast.

Chapter 325www.javad.com COMMAND LINE INTERFACEThe built-in user-friendly Command Line Interface (CLI) allows user to perform a full configuration ofthe unit and read the statistics and alarm status. It is the most powerful tool to configure the unit. It makeschanges to all possible settings that system will not be able to determine automatically.The CLI commands allow user to configure and reconfigure the unit’s settings. The user configurationparameters that could be changed through the CLI are:• Data Port Settings- Baud Rate- Data Bits (8, 7)- Parity (Odd, Even, None)- Flow control (None or RTS/CTS)• Alarm Settings• Radio Operation Modes• Sleep modes- On/Off- Activate by internal real-time clock- Activate through RTS/CTS lines- Activate by external sense lines- Activate by any combination of the parameters mentioned beforeNote: The unit’s configuration that is set or modified through the CLI will be lost after unit’s reboot, unless thesaving operation is used to store a new setting in the unit’s configuration file.The CLI commands also provide filing operations, which include:• Downloading- Unit’s Configuration files- Software Images• Uploading Unit’s Configuration files• Saving into the configuration files the configuration parameters modified through the CLI.

Command Line InterfaceCommand Line Interface ConventionSoftware Switching to Command Mode27www.javad.com 3.1.1. Software Switching to Command ModeOn power-up the radio modem is in data-mode. To switch to command mode the special byte-sequenceswith special meanings are used:• Escape-Sequence: “+++” with 20 ms guard time before and after the command characters• Escape-Acknowledge: “@00<CR><LF>”20 ms toggling on CTS control line needed to acknowledge switching from Data to Command mode andvice versa.Happy Flow1. In data-mode the unit starts looking for the Escape-sequence if there is no data from DTE (DataTerminal Equipment) for more than 20 ms (Start Guard Time).2. If the unit detects the Escape-Sequence:• The transmitter continues sending over the air the data received from DTE before Escape-Sequence and buffers the data from DTE;• The Receiver immediately stops forwarding to DTE the data received over the air and buffers itinstead.3. The radio unit waits for 20 ms and then sends Escape-Acknowledge to DTE if there is no datafrom DTE during 20 ms of Stop Guard Time.4. The unit goes to command mode and discards Escape-Sequence from input buffer. The modem isimmediately ready to receive commands. At the same time it continues buffering the data receivedover the air since step 2.Escape-Sequence in DataDuring its waiting in step 3, the unit receives data from DTE:• The unit sends buffered Escape-Sequence from DTE to the air;• The unit sends all buffered data received from the air since step 2 to DTE and stays in data-mode(i.e. transmits data received from DTE over the air – including the just received, unexpected, dataand forwards data received over the air to DTE.)
Command Line InterfaceNetworking CommandsHardware Switching to Command Mode28 www.javad.com3.1.2. Hardware Switching to Command ModeAs alternative to Software Switching, the switching through the MP/DP (Data Terminal Ready, DTR)control line can be used. To set Command Mode, the DTE must assert DTR signal active and thenpassive. By falling edge of DTR signal the unit goes to command mode and then sends Escape-Acknowledge to DTE (“@00<CR><LF>”).20 ms toggling on CTS control line needed to acknowledge switching from Data to Command mode andvice versa.Note: The powered up radio modem by default goes to Data Mode regardless of DTR control line polarity.3.1.3. Switching to Data Mode• DTE sends the CLI command “DATAMODE<CR><LF>” to the unit.• Unit answers with Escape-Acknowledge („@00<CR><LF>“) and immediately goes to datamode,so that the DTE can start sending data as soon as the Escape-Acknowledge has been received.• If no valid CLI commands received from DTE within 1 minute, the unit will automatically switchback to data-mode.3.2. Networking Commands3.2.1. LINKThe LINK command is responsible for configuring radio’s operation mode.
