The equipment is designed and manufactured in such a way to not be sensible to electrostatic discharges. 2.2.1 ESD precautions The equipment includes many electrostatic-sensitive parts that must be handled at a staticsafeguarded working area. Furthermore, they must be arranged in static-safeguarded packages, either in the case of storing, or in the case of shipment. These recommendations should be followed with the maximum care, especially in the case of modules or board extraction and handling. A static safeguard area may be intended as: • Grounded static dissipating wrist-strap that drains static charge from the operator wearing it. • A work surface covered with or composed of a grounded, static-dissipating material that drains electrical charges from devices placed on the surface. Work surface should provide a standard-size ESD-safeguard snap suitable for snap-stacking wrist-strap connection. It should be used as a convenient ESD caution, whenever handling modules and boards. These recommendations are to be extended also to activity not strictly performed in close equipment surrounding. If removed, replaced, or located inside workshop, any board should be handled by means of convenient ESD cautions. WARNING 4bs-tz000009-e Issue 01 – May 2003 Please note that OTE disclaims any responsibility for problems due to poor ESD protection during activity. 15 4bs-tz000009-e Issue 01 - May 2003 THIS PAGE HAS BEEN INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK 16 4bs-tz000009-e Issue 01 - May 2003 4bs-tz000009-e Issue 01 - May 2003 3 - OPERATION 4bs-tz000009-e Issue 01 – May 2003 17 4bs-tz000009-e Issue 01 - May 2003 THIS PAGE HAS BEEN INTENTIONALLY LEFT BLANK 18 4bs-tz000009-e Issue 01 - May 2003 4bs-tz000009-e Issue 01 - May 2003 3. OPERATION The purpose of this section is to describe the operational management of the DTR100, specifically control and indicator devices and operating through the control panel facilities 3.1 OPERATING STATES AND EQUIPMENT ACCESS POINTS The equipment can be set in two different operating states: • ON Line state if the AF line port, located onto the ALB-M rear panel, is used to manage the AF+signaling connection, e.g. carrying PTT input and the TX and RX balanced audio lines. • OFF Line state if the Headset/Microphone connector, located onto the Control Panel front side, is used to manage the AF+signaling connection, e.g. carrying PTT input and the TX and RX audio. In this operating state, the AF line port located onto the ALB-M rear panel is not enabled, this meaning that the equipment can not provide service to an operator located at a remote position. Although full management of equipment audio facility is possible in OFF Line state (e.g. by Headset), this is the typical operating state to be used for activities performed locally. Concerning O&M functions, the equipment can be managed from the Control Panel (CP) by using the keyboard. It is intended as an easy and immediate access point. When performing O&M tasks, it is important to note that all equipment functional parameters can be accessed only in OFF Line state. See next chapters for further details about editable parameters. 4bs-tz000009-e Issue 01 – May 2003 19 4bs-tz000009-e Issue 01 - May 2003 3.2 DTR100 CONTROL, INDICATORS AND CONNECTORS Control and indicator devices are located on the front panel of the equipment.

WARNING 4bs-tz000009-e Issue 01 – May 2003 The use of a CE-approved power cord is mandatory. 41 4bs-tz000009-e Issue 01 - May 2003 4.1.3 Radio frequency Radio frequency connections are located on the middle rear side of the equipment as shown in the following figure. Figure 4.3 - DTR100 radio frequency connections RX Low sensitivity input (SMA-female). By this port, the receiver is fed by the normal input, having equipment rated sensitivity features. RX High sensitivity input (SMA-female). By this port, the receiver is fed by the high-sensitivity input, but it is important to note that this connection bypasses the first RX front-end cell, thus having less protection wrt interfering signals, e.g. radiated carrier from co-located transmitters. This input must be used only when the receiver is connected to an external band-pass filter (e.g. cavity filter). TX/PA output (N-female). This port is the TX/PA direct radio frequency output. RF switch connectors. The internal RF switch has a normally-closed SMA port (to be used for the receiver section, by fitting the external coaxial SMA-SMA jumper), and a normally-open SMA port (to be used for the transmitter section, by fitting the external coaxial SMA-N jumper). The switch common port is then available on an N-female port, to be connected to the radiating system (or the filtering device, etc). By using this layout the equipment fully operates as "transceiver", device, in which the transmitter and receive sections share the same radiating system. As factory-default (see the above figure), the equipment is provided with common TX/RX coaxial port (jumpers present), the normally-closed port is routed to the receiver low-sensitivity input. 42 4bs-tz000009-e Issue 01 - May 2003 4bs-tz000009-e Issue 01 - May 2003 4.2 SETTINGS AND ADJUSTMENTS Following chapters detail necessary information for proper setting-up of the equipment, by defining a step-by-step procedure. Setting-up is intended as the sequence of alignment and configuration actions that must be performed by operator in order to put the equipment in service. 4.2.1 E&M line interface settings ALB-M card feature dip-switch banks to match AF line interfacing requirements. Line interfacing adjustments concern E line and M line settings. To perform the setting, the card must be previously removed from the equipment rear side. Following figure shoes dip-switch bank position onto the card (screening cover removed). Figure 4.4 - ALB-M dip-switch bank position WARNING 4bs-tz000009-e Issue 01 – May 2003 Please follow given indications about ESD prevention cares when handling the card. 43 4bs-tz000009-e Issue 01 - May 2003 E line is used to acquire PTT signaling from TELCO line. The circuit design is based on a current detector; the line polarization can be either due to external or internal voltage, as shown in the figure. Figure 4.5 - E line circuit layout In the first case, the presence of an external voltage makes the current flow in the loop; in the second configuration ALB-M powers the line and external equipment closes the loop. The proper configuration can be selected setting contacts 1 to 3 of SW01 according to the table. Table 4.9 - E line settings #1 Dip-Switch Line feed Internal voltage ON ON OFF External voltage OFF OFF ON When external voltage configuration is used, a voltage from 12 to 48 VDC can be applied to E leads. The applied polarity can be positive or negative. Contacts 5 to 8 of SW01 must be set according to external applied voltage value as from configuration given in table below. Table 4.10 - E line settings #2 Dip-Switch 44 Line feed 12V (9V to 18V) ON OFF OFF 12V (220 Ohm) ON ON OFF 12V (0 Ohm) ON ON 24V (18V to 36V) OFF ON OFF OFF 48V (36V to 60V) OFF OFF OFF OFF ON 4bs-tz000009-e Issue 01 - May 2003 4bs-tz000009-e Issue 01 - May 2003 When internal voltage configuration is used, the voltage applied is +12V. Dip-switches 5 and 6 of SW01 are not relevant; only 7 and 8 can be set. Setting on contact 7 reduces the series resistance of about 70% (from 800 Ohm to 220 Ohm). Setting on contact 8 reduces to zero the series resistance. This setting can be useful when using long cables that have a series 18 resistance not negligible . M line is used to send squelch signaling towards remote device through the TELCO line. The circuit design is based on an electronic switch. The line can be interfaced in either "floating" or "common ground" layout Figure 4.6 - M line circuit layout In the first case both leads of M line are related to voltage potentials of the external equipment, and are not referred to ALB-M potentials. In the second case, a dedicated wire for return path is not present, but the current loop is anyway closed through isolated ALB-M ground. In this configuration, isolated ALB-M ground and external equipment ground reference must be at the same potential. 19 When activated, M line interface makes a short circuit on the loop, making current flow . 18 This setting can be useful when using long cabling having a series resistance not negligible (e.g. a connection of 5 Km with AWG24 wire, 0.205 mm2 section, has (84Ohm/Km x 5Km) x 2 = 840 Ohm series resistance). 19 The current flow takes place independently from the line polarity. The residual voltage is 2.5 V @ 20 mA. 4bs-tz000009-e Issue 01 – May 2003 45 4bs-tz000009-e Issue 01 - May 2003 4.2.2 Equipment adjustments The following procedure lists the operating parameters (e.g. frequency, modulation depth, etc) that must be adjusted according to system layout requirements. In any case, further nonmandatory adjustments (e.g. loudspeaker volume, earphone volume, etc) may be done according to user criteria, referring to section § 3 - Operation. Any setting-up activity must be done only after than installation has been completed, thus also including the connection to any external device and the alignment of ancillary devices (filters, radiating system, etc). Setting-up is listed in following procedure. Table 4.11 - Setting-up procedure for DTR100 Step Action Expected result Switch ON and wait for the end of boot. Login . After correct booting, control panel displays shows the default windows. Setting environment menu is active. Set the equipment OFF Line . Set the operating frequency .

Once setting is done, control panel display shows new operating mode. Set the equipment RS485 address . Set the equipment DIAG485 address . Once setting is done, control panel display shows new DIAG485 address. Set the RF power output. Once setting is done, control panel display new RF power level. Set the transmission timeout . 10 Set the maximum modulation depth . 11 Set the TX audio input level . 20 21 Once setting is done, control panel display shows OFF Line indication. 22 23 Once setting is done, control panel display shows new RS485 address. 24 25 Once setting is done, control panel display new transmission timeout figure. 26 27 Once setting is done, control panel display new modulation depth figure. Once setting is done, control panel display new TX audio input level. 20 The control panel display browsing is detailed into § 3 - Operation. Please refer to the relevant chapter about how getting the desired editable parameters. 21 OFF Line condition is necessary, since many parameters can not be edited when in ON Line. 22 The adjustment of the operating frequency and operating mode must be done in conjunction, refer also to § 3 Operation for details. 23 This parameter is used to assign a specific physical ID address on the DIAG port, within the RS485 multi-drop connection to an external controller. If no controller for remote O&M activity is present, this setting is not necessary. 24 This parameter is used to assign a specific logical ID address on the DIAG port, within the RS485 multi-drop connection to an external controller. If no controller for remote O&M activity is present, this setting is not necessary. 25 Transmission timeout sets the maximum elapse of time allowed for transmission. At timeout counter expiring, transmission is shut-down. Short timeout values can affect the equipment service by truncate radiated speech. It is also possible to set the PTT Timeout OFF by setting the relevant parameter to 0, thus allowing for continuous transmission operating. Although this setting is not recommended, it can be required for special application (e.g. VOLMET, etc). 26 Setting of maximum modulation depth is anyway referred to a nominal AF input of -10 dBm. Baseband module internal process operates as compressor/limiter device, avoiding modulation rate to override 95% and causing overmodulation phenomena. 27 It operates a gain or attenuation on the TX AF line coming from the VCSS. It must be set according to the expected nominal AF level of the line. 46 4bs-tz000009-e Issue 01 - May 2003 4bs-tz000009-e Issue 01 - May 2003 Step Action Expected result 28 12 Set the RX audio output level . 13 Set the squelch threshold . 14 Set the equipment ON Line . 15 Logout . 29 30 31 Once setting is done, control panel display new RX audio output level. Once setting is done, control panel display shows new squelch threshold. Once setting is done, control panel display shows ON Line indication. Quit the setting environment menu. It is important to note that many of the above parameters do not need to be changed from the default settings for a correct operating, and therefore some of the above steps may be ignored. In example, default value of squelch threshold is -107 dBm. This value allows for correct operating in standard operating condition, and it is not necessary to change it. 4.2.2.1 Reference oscillator monitoring This adjustment must be done with the equipment ON. The front side test port has a monitoring facility for the internal 10 MHz reference oscillator that has a rated 1 ppm accuracy. When operating in in 25 kHz channel spacing mode 5 ppm accuracy is required; when operating in 8.33 kHz channel spacing mode 1 ppm accuracy is required. On the TEST port, a TTL-level 500 KHz square-wave signal is available, obtained by dividing 32 the internal reference . As specified, the counter used for the test must have an internal time -7 base stability better than 0.1 ppm (1 x 10 ); it is recommended to use a counter provided with internal high-stability oven, or slaved to external reference (e.g GPS). It is necessary to wire a cabling having on the equipment side a Mini-DIN 8-pin male, and having on the frequency counter side the relevant termination (e.g. BNC coaxial). Cabling should be realized preferably with RF-coaxial cable. The pin 3 of the TEST port must be connected to the central conductor of coaxial, while pins 1, 4 or 6 (corresponding to GND) must be connected to the shield. Once realized the cable, the procedure for monitoring and adjustment is given in the following table. Table 4.12 - Reference oscillator monitoring procedure Step Action Expected result Connect the cabling to the TEST port and to the counter input port. Set the equipment OFF Line. Enter in the display menu the setting environment, and scroll the menu until the windowis shown. Frequency counter displays the 500 KHz signal current frequency. The equipment is OFF Line. Current setting figure is displayed. 28 It operates a gain or attenuation on the RX AF line routed to the VCSS.
