SATELLINE-M3-TR1 User Guide, Version 1.4 12 2 Operating Voltage 2.1 Operating Voltage (PWR-module) The SATELLINE-3AS-TR1 radio modem can have two (2) operating voltage ranges. The range is set at the factory. The voltage level must be mentioned in the order. The operating voltage range is changed by replacing the PWR-module. The operating voltages are: 3.2-8.5 VDC or 6.5V - 28 VDC +/-10%. The nominal voltages are 3-9V and 6-30V. The radio modem must only be connected to a power supply with an adequate current output. The Input Voltage range is marked in the label. The lower voltage PWR- module PCB is marked as SPL0006x and the higher voltage module is SPL0010x. Note 2 Do not exceed the operating voltages range. Exceeding of the operating voltage may damage the module. Note1 The modem withstands a live insertion or removal from the DTE-unit without switching OFF the power. 2.2 Instructions how to change the PWR module The radio module includes a removable PWR module, which can be changed if needed. Picture1 Use a small screw driver and move the sheet metal nails up one-by-one until it removes. Picture2 Open the PWR module by setting a pen into the whole of the corner and bend as long as the module turns out. Picture 2PWR-module Picture 1
SATELLINE-M3-TR1 User Guide, Version 1.4 13 Picture3 Press the new PWR module back in reverse order. 2.2.1 Fuse A proper fuse must be connected in between the radio modem and the power supply. The correct value depends on the model (see list below). Recommended value is 2A slow. 2.2.2 Power supply The radio modem must only be connected to a power supply with an adequate current output. The pins 15 and 14 of the D-connector are connected to the positive power supply line. The pins 8 and 7 of the D-connector are connected to negative power supply line (ground). The DTR-line of the radio modem, which is connected to pin 1, can be used as an ON/STANDBY –switch, and in this way the radio modem can be switched either ON (operational state) or OFF (STANDBY). The logical state "1" (Open or more than +3.0 V, max Vdc) of the DTR-line corresponds to ON-state and a logical state "0" (.. <=0 V) corresponds to a STANDBY state. In applications, where the radio modem is used as a portable device (meaning battery operation), the DTR-line (pin 1) should be connected to a logical state "0" always when it is possible to conserve battery power and prolong operational time between battery charging. NOTE! There is a galvanic connection between signal ground (SGND, pin 7), ground (GND, pin 8), outer conductor of antenna connector and modem casing. Picture 3
SATELLINE-M3-TR1 User Guide, Version 1.4 14 3 SERIAL INTERFACE The radio modem is referred to as DCE (Data Communication Equipment) whereas the PC or equivalent device is referred to as DTE (Data Terminal Equipment). The SATELLINE-M3-TR1 radio modem include a 15-pin ‘D’-type female connector, which contains all the connections required to establish communication between the radio modem, acting as the DCE, and the PC, acting as the DTE. The radio modem contains two (2) serial ports, which are designated as Port 1 or Port 2 for communication. Only one port at a time can be used for communication. The Interface must be specified in the order. The Port 1 is always RS-232, but the Port 2 can be set to LVTTL, TTL, RS-232 or RS422. 3.1 D-15 connector D-15 female connector adapter of the radio modem Pinout of the D-15 PORT PIN DIR SIGNAL PORT 1 RS-232 6 OUT CTS 9 OUT RD1 11 IN TD1 13 IN RTS PORT 2 TTL/LVTTL 2 OUT CTS 3 OUT RD 4 IN TD 5 IN RTS PORT 2 RS-232 2 OUT CD 3 OUT RD2 4 IN TD2 5 - NC PORT 2 RS-422 2 OUT A' 3 OUT B' 4 IN A' 5 IN B' COMMON 1 IN DTR 10 OUT DSR 12 IN MODE 7,8 - GND 14,15 - VB
SATELLINE-M3-TR1 User Guide, Version 1.4 15 o DTE is an abbreviation for Data Terminal Equipment o DIR column below denotes the direction of the signal: "IN" is from DTE to the radio modem, "OUT" is from the radio modem to the DTE. Port 1 complies always with the RS-232 standard. Port 2 can comply either with the RS-232, LVTTL, TTL or RS-422 standards. The interface type is set at the factory according to the customer order. The user can set the Ports ON/FF afterwards in the programming mode. NOTE! Unused pins can be left unconnected. *) RTS and CTS handshaking connections remain the same irrespective of the port used (Port 1 or Port 2). **) A and B designators are opposite in Profibus standard. 3.2 Description of the D-15 connector: • DTR. Data Terminal Ready. When open or connected to + Voltage the unit is ready for normal transfer mode. When connected to Ground the unit goes to low current consumption mode. OFF = <=0V, ON = >= 3V-30V. • CTS. Clear To Send. • RD. Receive data. Asynchronous serial data. • TD. Transmit data. Asynchronous serial data. • RTS. Request to Send. • CTS. Clear To Send. • GND. Ground Both the negative pole of the operating voltage and the signal ground. • MODE. Programming pin. When floating or connected to +VDC the unit is in normal mode. When connected to Ground the unit is in programming mode. NOTE! When the MODE-Pin (Pin 12 of the D-Connector) is connected to Ground, the modem is in the Programming Mode and Port 1 (PINS 6, 9, 11,13) will be in use! If you normally use Port 2 for data transmission, the serial cable must be changed to a suitable type when switching over to the configuration mode.
SATELLINE-M3-TR1 User Guide, Version 1.4 16 MODE = operational mode. When the MODE-line is connected to ground (GND), the radio modem enters the Programming Mode which is used to change the settings of the radio modem (i.e. configuration, set-up). If the MODE-line is not connected, the radio modem will enter the Data Transfer Mode, in which data can be transmitted and received. The Programming Mode is used only when installing a radio modem and changing the operational parameters of a network. Normally the radio modem is always in the Data Transfer Mode. • RTS, Request To Send • PWR +VDC. Vb Positive pole of the operating voltage. NOTE! • Port 1 or 2 can be defined using the Configuration Manager. When the Program switch of the adapter is switched ON (Programming-mode) the default Port is always Port 1, 9600, N8, 1. When the Port has been defined, it’ll be activated by switching the Power OFF-ON, or switching the Program Switch switched to OFF. 3.3 26-pin PCB connector Vertical strip, male.

SATELLINE-M3-TR1 User Guide, Version 1.4 17 3.4 RS-485/RS-422 interface 3.4.1 RS-485 interface RS-485 is an extension of the RS-422 standard and enables the connection of more than two devices on to the same bus. Communication is half-duplex, so there is only one cable pair, compared to two when using the RS-422. The RS-485 standard defines the electrical characteristics of the connections in such a way as to prevent possible data contention states as well as cable shorts etc. from harming the devices themselves. To enable RS_485 function set the modem must be ordered with RS-422 Interface. When RS-485 is used the RS-422 on Port 1 must be ON.

SATELLINE-M3-TR1 User Guide, Version 1.4 18 3.4.2 RS-422 interface RS-422 standard defines a serial data transfer method, which is very similar to the RS-232 standard. In RS-422 however, the signal lines are balanced (or differential) transmission lines. A balanced (or differential) transmission line is formed by using two signal wires together to convey each single signal. Because the state of the signal is defined by the mutual voltage difference (hence the name differential), any common mode disturbances induced into the lines will cancel out. The effect of different signals moving in the same cable will also be smaller than in the case of the RS-232. Transmission distance can be considerably longer than when using RS-232 type of connection, and distances of 1 km are possible. As an example, let’s examine the TX-signal: TX-signal will be transmitted using two lines (A and B). A logical ”1” corresponds to a situation, where the voltage on line A is greater than the voltage on line B. Correspondingly a logical ”0” corresponds to a situation, where the voltage on line A is smaller than the voltage on line B. 3.5 Termination of RS-422/485 lines Each differential pair of wires is a transmission line. A transmission line must be terminated properly to prevent, or at least minimise, harmful reflections formed between the transmitting and receiving end of the transmission line. A common method of terminating a RS-485 type of transmission line is to connect a so-called termination resistor, between the wires and at both ends of the transmission line. Even when there are more than two devices on the same transmission line, the termination resistors are needed only at the ends of the transmission line. The termination resistor must be selected so that its resistance matches the characteristic impedance of the transmission line as close as possible (typical values range from 100 to 120 Ω). When using a RS-422 type of connection the termination resistor is connected only at each of the receiving ends. Termination resistors are particularly important when using long transmission lines and/or high data transfer speeds. RT 120 ΩRTRT 120 ΩRTBB'AA'B' BA' ARadio modem Cable TerminalCable

ON=Green. • DATA on line (RX/TX)= Red Flashing
SATELLINE-M3-TR1 User Guide, Version 1.4 20 4.2 Programming Mode The settings of SATELLINE-3AS-TR1 are fully configurable in Programming Mode by using a suitable terminal program. The most recommendable set-up (optional): NARS-1F interface adapter, CRS-9 cable, a power supply and the SaTerm terminal program. NARS-1F contains a switch to enable easy shifting into the Programming Mode. Other suitable terminal programs like SATEL Configuration Manager may also be used. The radio modem will shift into the Programming Mode by connecting the D-connector pin 12 to ground (GND). When using the NARS-1F this can be accomplished by moving the slide switch downwards. In the Programming Mode, the radio modem will use serial port PORT1, with settings 9600 bps, N, 8,1 (data transfer speed 9600 bps, no parity, 8 data bits and 1 stop bit). For more detailed instructions for changing each setting. 4.2.1 Changing the settings o Connect cables (RS-232 cable to PC COM-port, power supply cable to power supply). o Switch on the PC and start SaTerm program (or other terminal program). o Open a terminal window and then choose ”Pr” (in case you are using some other terminal program, set the serial port parameters of the program as follows: 9600 bits/s, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, which is always the default in Programming Mode). o Connect PROG-pin to ground (if using the NARS-1F adapter, slide the switch downwards), the radio modem shifts now into the Programming Mode. The screen should look similar to the one shown in the picture below. o Make desired changes to the settings. o Save changes by pressing ”E” in the main menu. If you don’t want to save changes, press ”Q”. o Disconnect PROG-pin from ground (if using the NARS-1F adapter, slide the switch upwards), the radio modem should now return to the Data Transfer Mode. ***** SATELLINE-3AS M3-TR1 ***** SW:06.16.3.34 / HW: SPL0005B / PV: 00.00 / IM: 02 / -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current settings ---------------- 1) Radio frequency 436.5000 MHz ( CF 436.5000 MHz, spacing 25 kHz ) 2) Radio settings Tx power level 1000 mW / Signal threshold -112 dBm / FCS OFF / TX start delay 0 ms / Diversity RX OFF / EPIC PWRSave OFF / Compatibility Satel 3AS 3) Addressing RX address OFF / TX address OFF / RX address to RS port OFF / TX address autoswitch OFF

SATELLINE-M3-TR1 User Guide, Version 1.4 22 5 RF INTERFACE The SATELLINE-M3-TR1 module has a single antenna connector with an impedance of 50 ohm. The user can change the frequency of the radio modem afterwards within the frequency range. The data speed of the radio interface depends on the chosen radio channel spacing. A channel spacing of 25 kHz enables a data speed of 19200 bps and a channel spacing of 12.5 kHz and 20 kHz enables, correspondingly, a data speed of 9600 bps. The data speed of the radio interface is always fixed (19200 bps or 9600 bps), irrespective of the data speed of the serial interface. If the data speeds of the radio interface and the serial interface differ from each other, the radio modem will temporarily buffer the data in transfer, so no data loss will occur. 5.1 Transmitter The output power of the transmitter is adjustable between 100, 200, 500 or 1000 mW. The greatest allowable power depends on limits set by local authorities, which should not be exceeded under any circumstances. The output power of the transmitter should be set to the smallest possible level which still ensures error free connections under variable conditions. Large output power levels using short connection distances can, in the worst case, cause disturbances to the overall operation of the system. OUTPUT POWER dBm 100 mW +20 200 mW +23 500 mW +27 1 W +30 Possible output power settings NOTE! Setting the radio data modem output power level to that which exceeds the regulations set forth by local authorities is strictly forbidden. The setting and/or using of non-approved power levels may lead to prosecution. SATEL and its distributors are not responsible for any illegal use of its radio equipment, and are not responsible in any way of any claims or penalties arising from the operation of its radio equipment in ways contradictory to local regulations and/or requirements and/or laws.
SATELLINE-M3-TR1 User Guide, Version 1.4 23 5.2 Receiver The sensitivity of the receiver depends on the channel spacing of the radio modem (=data speed of the radio interface) and on the mode of the FEC (error correction) according to the table below: FEC OFF FEC ON 25 kHz -110 dBm -113 dBm 20 kHz -112 dBm -115 dBm 12.5 kHz -112 dBm -115 dBm The Signal Threshold Level setting of the receiver determines a level above which the search for the actual data transfer signal is active. If the Signal Threshold Level setting is set too low, it is possible that the receiver is trying to synchronise itself with noise, in which case, the actual data transmission might remain unnoticed. Alternatively, weak data transmissions will be rejected, even though they would be otherwise acceptable. 5.3 Priority RX/TX SATELLINE-3AS-TR1_xx offers a Priority setting, which selects the priority between reception and transmission. The setting can be changed in Programming Mode. By default, transmission has higher priority than reception i.e. the default value is Priority TX. Priority TX means that a terminal device attached to a radio modem decides the timing of the transmission. The transmitter is immediately switched on when the terminal device starts to output data. Should reception be in progress, the radio modem will stop it and change to a transmit state. There is no need to use any handshaking for the control of timing. Priority RX means, that a radio modem tries to receive all data currently in the air. If a terminal outputs data to be transmitted (or an SL command) it will buffered. The radio modem will wait until the reception has stopped before transmitting the buffered data. This will result in timing slacks to the system, but decreases the number of collisions on the air; this is particularly useful in systems based on multiple random accesses. If the Repeater Function has been set on, priority setting is automatically switched to RX mode. 5.4 Error correction FEC, Forward Error Correction. FEC-function is switched ON (or OFF) by using the Programming Mode. When activated, the FEC-function will automatically add additional error correction information, which increases the amount of transmitted data by 30 %. It is used by the receiving radio modem to correct erroneous bits - as long as the ratio of correct and erroneous bits is reasonable. Error correction improves the reliability of data transfer via the radio interface especially in unfavourable conditions. FEC-function should be used when link distances are long and/or if
SATELLINE-M3-TR1 User Guide, Version 1.4 24 there are many disturbances in the radio channels used. The use of the FEC-function will, however decrease the data transfer throughput of data by about 30 %. For a listing of exact delays introduced by using FEC-function. To switch the FEC-function ON in the Programming Mode, select: 1) Error correction ON 5.5 Error checking When the error checking is switched on, the radio modem will add a checksum to the transmitted data. When the data is received, the checksums are verified before data is forwarded to the serial port. There are two different options for error checking that can be accessed in the Additional setup menu in the Programming Mode: 2) Error check 6) Full CRC16 check Error check checks data partially while data is received. Full CRC16 check function adds two checksum characters at the end of the user data message. At the reception end the receiver receives first the whole package and if the checksum matches the data message is forwarded to the serial port. If Full CRC16 check is selected it must be set ON for all radio modems in the same network. Otherwise the checksum characters appear at the end of user message on the serial port. NOTE! All radio modems, which are to communicate with each other, must have the same setting for FEC (ON or OFF). If the transmitting radio modem and the receiving radio modem has different settings, data will not be received correctly.
SATELLINE-M3-TR1 User Guide, Version 1.4 25 6 TRANSPARENT DATA TRANSMISSION 6.1 Serial interface, data format The SATELLINE-3AS-TR1 radio modem serial interface uses an asynchronous data format. No external synchronising signal is needed, since necessary timing information is acquired from the start and stop bits transmitted before and after each data field bits (byte). The data transfer speed of the serial interfaces can be set to 300, 600, 1200, 2400, 4800, 9600, 19200 or 38400 bps (bits per second). The length of the data field must be 7, 8 or 9 bits. When using a data field length of 7 or 8 bits, a parity bit may also be used. One character to be transmitted will thus contain a start bit; the data bits (which define the specific character in question); an optional parity bit and one or two stop bits. The overall length of one character is therefore 10, 11 or 12 bits. This should be taken into account when calculating the data throughput capability of a system. In other words, the number of start, stop and parity bits must be considered. A useful rule of thumb is that at a data transfer speed of 9600 bps, the transmission of one character will require roughly one millisecond (1 ms). Start Data Parity End Asynchronous character data format Example: With an 8-bit data character length and taking, for example, a decimal value of ”204”, (which corresponds to a binary value of ”11001100”) and with a start bit value of ”0”, parity bit set to either “NO” (NONE), ”0” or ”1” and with a stop bit value of ”1”, the possible combinations are listed in the table below: DATA FORMAT CHARACTER CHARACTER LENGTH 8 bit, no parity, 1 stop bit 0110011001 10 bit 8 bit, even parity, 1 stop bit 01100110001 11 bit 8 bit, odd parity, 1 stop bit 01100110011 11 bit 8 bit, no parity, 2 stop bits 01100110011 11 bit 8 bit, even parity, 2 stop bits 011001100011 12 bit 8 bit, odd parity, 2 stop bits 011001100111 12 bit If the settings of data speed, character length, parity or the number of stop bits differ between the radio modem and the terminal, errors will be introduced into the transferred data. The serial port settings of each individual radio modem in a system can all be different apart from the data length setting (7, 8 or 9 bits), which must always be the same in each individual radio modem. In other words, the serial port used, the data transfer speed, parity and number of stop bits; can be different in different parts of a same system. This is especially useful where one part of the system uses an RS-485 serial port and another part uses the RS-232 serial port. In other words, radio modems may also be utilised as serial port adapters in addition to the more common role of wireless data transfer. The serial port settings can be changed in the Programming Mode.
SATELLINE-M3-TR1 User Guide, Version 1.4 26 6.2 Handshake lines When using the RS-232 serial interface, handshake signals can be used to control data transfer. Handshake signals are used, for example, by the radio modem to inform the terminal that the radio channel is busy, and that it cannot initiate transmission. The terminal can also control the radio modem via RTS-line. Line Direction CTS To terminal RTS To modem CD To terminal A common way of using handshaking signals is to monitor the CTS-line and ignore the others. Usually the terminal is fast enough to handle the data received by the radio modem, so the use of RTS-line is not necessary. Handshaking is not needed if the system protocol is designed to prevent collisions (data contention) by the use of polling, or if there is little traffic and also if there is no harm from occasional data contention situations (several radio modems try to transmit at the same time). 6.2.1 CTS-line The options for CTS-line are: 1) Clear To Send CTS is active when the radio modem is ready to accept data for new transmission. CTS will shift into inactive state during data reception and transmission. 2) TX buffer state CTS will shift into inactive state only if the radio modem’s TX buffer is in danger of overflowing. This typically happens when the serial interface data transfer speed is greater than the radio interface transfer speed and the size of transmitted messages is large. 6.2.2 CD-line The options for CD-line are: 1) RSSI-threshold CD is active whenever a signal with a level exceeding the level required for reception exists on the radio channel. It doesn’t make any difference if the signal is an actual data transmission, a signal of a radio transmitter not belonging to the system, or even an interference signal caused for example, by a computer or a peripheral device. CD is also active when the radio modem in question is transmitting.
SATELLINE-M3-TR1 User Guide, Version 1.4 27 2) Data on channel CD will switch to active state only after recognition of a valid data transmission. CD will not react to interference signals. 3) Always ON CD is always in the active state. This option can be used with terminal equipment, which use the CD-line as an indicator of an active connection (the radio modem can transmit and receive at any time). 6.2.3 RTS-line The options for RTS-line are: 1) Ignored RTS-line status is ignored. 2) Flow control The radio modem transmits data to the terminal device only when the RTS-line is active. Non-active state of the RTS-line will force the radio modem to buffer the received data. This option is used if the terminal device is too slow to handle data received from the radio modem. 3) Reception control RTS-line controls the reception process of the radio modem. An active RTS-line enables reception (as normal). Non-active RTS-line will interrupt reception process immediately, even if the radio modem is receiving a data packet. This option is used to force the radio modem into WAIT State for an immediate channel change. 6.3 Timing and delays during data transmission When using a radio modem for data transmission, certain delays will be formed through the use of a radio interface and from the radio modem circuitry itself. These delays exist when the radio modem switches from Standby Mode to Data Transfer Mode and during reception and transmission of data. For detailed delay values in each case see Appendix B. 6.3.1 Data buffering in the radio modem Whenever the radio modem is in Data Transfer Mode it monitors both the radio channel and the serial interface. When the terminal device starts data transmission the radio modem switches to transmission mode. At the beginning of each transmission a synchronisation signal is transmitted and this signal is detected by another radio modem, which then switches into receive mode. During the transmission of the synchronisation signal the radio modem buffers data into its memory. Transmission ends when a pause is detected in the data sent by the terminal device, and after all buffered data has been transmitted. When the serial interface speed is the same or slower than the speed of the radio interface, the internal transmit buffer memory cannot overflow. However, when the serial interface speed exceeds the speed of the radio interface, data will eventually fill transmit buffer memory. In this instance, it will take a moment after the
SATELLINE-M3-TR1 User Guide, Version 1.4 28 terminal device has stopped transmission of data for the radio modem to empty the buffer and before the transmitter switches off. The maximum size of transmit buffer memory is one kilobyte (1 kB). If the terminal device does not follow the status of the CTS-line and transmits too much data to the radio modem, the buffer will be emptied and the transmission is restarted. In the receive mode, the buffer works principally in the above described way thus evening out differences in data transfer speeds. If the terminal device transmits data to a radio modem in receive mode, the data will go into transmit buffer memory. Transmission will start immediately when the radio channel is available. 6.3.2 Pause length The modem recognises a pause on the serial line (a pause is defined as a time with no status changes on the RS-232 interface TD-line). The pause detection is used as criteria for: o End of radio transmission - When the transmit buffer is empty and a pause is detected, the modem stops the transmission and will then change the radio to the receive mode. o SL-command recognition - For a SL-command to be valid, a pause must be detected before the actual “SL…” character string. o User address recognition - In order for the start character to be detected, a pause must precede it in transmission. Traditionally, in asynchronous data communication, pauses have been used to separate serial messages from each other. However, the use of non-real-time operating systems (frequently used on PC-type hardware) often adds random pauses, which may result in the user data splitting into two or more separate RF transmissions. This may cause problems especially in the systems including repeater stations. In order to match the operation of the radio modem to the user data, the Pause length parameter can be adjusted on the programming menu. It may have any value between 3 and 255 characters. The default value is 3 characters. Notes: o The absolute time of Pause length is depending on the serial port settings. For example, 1 character is ~1.04 ms at 9600 bps / 8N1 (10 bits). o The maximum absolute time is always 170 ms independent from the value of the Pause length given in the set-up. o An increase in the Pause length increases the round trip delay of the radio link correspondingly; this is due to the fact that the radio channel is occupied for the time of the Pause length after each transmission (the time it takes to detect a pause). If this is not acceptable, the TX delay setting may also be useful in special cases.
SATELLINE-M3-TR1 User Guide, Version 1.4 29 6.3.3 TX delay The radio modem can be configured to delay the beginning of a radio transmission by 1...65000 ms. This function can be used to prevent packet contention in a system, where all substations would otherwise answer a poll of a base-station simultaneously. During this delay data sent to the radio modem is buffered. Although the priority setting is "RX" , radio modem is prevented to change over to receiving mode during the period of the TX delay.If this function is not needed, the delay time should be set to 0 ms. 6.4 Tests The radio modem can be switched to the Test Mode, where it will send a test packet on the radio channel. The test packet is a normal data transmission, which can be used, for example, when directing antennas during system installation. When the test packet transmission has been switched on and saved by using the Programming Mode, the transmitting radio modem needs only a power supply and an antenna. If the channel spacing of the radio modems is 25 kHz, it is recommended to use 38400 bps as a serial data speed of the receiving radio modem. In the case of 12.5 / 20 kHz channel spacing the data speed of 19200 bps is recommended. There are two Test Modes: Short data block test In this test mode the radio modem sends a short test string, which is preceded by a consecutive number, and it ends to the line feed character. The short data block is repeated continuously after 1 s break. Short data block test is suitable for running data communication tests. Error-free reception of data can be monitored using a suitable terminal program. Example of a short data blocks: 00 This is a testline of SATELLINE -3AS-TR1 radio modem 01 This is a testline of SATELLINE -3AS-TR1 radio modem 02 This is a testline of SATELLINE -3AS-TR1 radio modem Long data block test Long data block consists of character strings, which are repeated without breaks 50 s time period. After 10 s break the test transmission is started again. Long block data test can be used for measuring Tx output power, standing wave ratio (SWR) of the antenna system or received signal strength at Rx stations. Please note that SATELLINE -3AS-TR1 Epic has to be the version equipped with a cooling element if Long block data test is set on at higher than 1 W Tx output power.

SATELLINE-M3-TR1 User Guide, Version 1.4 31 7 SETTINGS The configuration of SATELLINE -3AS-TR1 radio modems can be easily changed. Simply by connecting the Mode pin to ground (GND) the radio modem will switch into Programming Mode. Serial port PORT 1 is used whenever the radio modem is in the Programming Mode. The serial port settings are 9600 bps, N, 8,1 (data transfer speed 9600 bps, no parity, character length 8 bits and one (1) stop bit). If the SL-command function has been activated active radio channel and addresses can be changed without switching the radio modem into Programming Mode. Serial port settings will remain as those defined previously when the radio modem was in Programming Mode. 7.1 Changing parameters using a terminal device PORT 1 of the radio modem is connected to a terminal device or a PC, which is in terminal emulation state. (This can be accomplished by using a suitable program such as the SaTerm program or the Windows™ Hyper Terminal program). Check the wiring of the serial port connection cable. Terminal device serial port settings must be set to 9600 bps, N, 8, 1 (data transfer speed 9600 bps, no parity, data length 8 bits and one (1) stop bit). MODE-pin is then connected to ground (GND). Following this the radio modem will transmit the following message to the terminal (certain configuration settings might differ from the ones shown): ***** SATELLINE-3AS M3-TR1 ***** SW:06.16.3.34 / HW: SPL0005B / PV: 00.00 / IM: 02 / -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Current settings ---------------- 1) Radio frequency 438.0000 MHz ( CF 438.0000 MHz, spacing 25 kHz ) 2) Radio settings Tx power level 1000 mW / Signal threshold -112 dBm / FCS OFF / TX start delay 0 ms / Diversity RX OFF / EPIC PWRSave OFF / Compatibility Satel 3AS 3) Addressing RX address OFF / TX address OFF / RX address to RS port OFF / TX address autoswitch OFF 4) Serial port 1 ON / 19200 bit/s / 8 bit data / None parity / 1 stop bit 5) Serial port 2 OFF / 19200 bit/s / 8 bit data / None parity / 1 stop bit (RS-232)6) Handshaking CTS Clear to send / CD RSSI-threshold / RTS Ignored / Pause length 3 bytes 7) Additional setup Error correction OFF / Error check OFF / Repeater OFF / SL-commands ON / Priority TX / Full CRC16 check OFF 8) Routing OFF 9) Tests OFF A) Restore factory settings E) EXIT and save settings Q) QUIT without saving Enter selection > More information at Satel.com
SATELLINE-M3-TR1 User Guide, Version 1.4 32 7.2 Updating Firmware The Firmware can be updated in two ways: • By using terminal program. Instructions to use this method are given by request. • By using Configuration Manager (CM), which requires The SATEL Configuration Manager, a cable adapter between the module and a PC with serial port. The firmware of SATELLINE-3AS-TR1 is stored in a flash memory. If needed the software is easily updated by SaTerm terminal program. Please see the user guide of SaTerm for more details. The SATEL Configuration Manager is configuration and setup software that has been explained in a separate User Manual. 7.3 Basic configuration and installation The radio modem is shipped with the following default settings (unless otherwise specifically ordered): DEFAULT VALUES OF THE ADJUSTABLE SETTINGS ( the user can change these settings later on ) Setting Default value Notes Operating frequency 438.000 MHz Range: 403-473 MHz Channel Spacing 25 kHz Range:12.5kHz, 20kHz, or 25 kHz Tx Power 1000 mW Range: 100, 200, 500 or 1000 mW Protocol SATEL 3AS SATEL 3AS, Option1=PCC 4-FSK, Option 2=PCC GMSK, 3=TrimTalk Addressing RX Address OFF / TX Address OFF Tx-Delay 0 ms Signal threshold -115 dBm SyncInterval default (=21845 bytes) Rx-Delay 0 ms Pause length 3 characters FEC OFF Error check OFF Error correction OFF Serial port 1 settings Port function=DATA Data speed=9600 bps Data bits=8 Parity=None Stop bits=1 Pause length=3 bytes NOTE!

SL-commands ON When creating a test connection, you can also use the Windows-based SATEL Configuration Manager, (available for free from authorised SATEL dealers or directly from SATEL Customer Support). Basic settings for the serial port of the host computer, when using a terminal program to communicate with SATEL radio modems, are as follows: “COM1, 9600 bps, 8-bit data, none parity, 1 stop bit”. The power cable (+Vb and GND) must be connected to a power supply with a proper output voltage and with a minimum output current of 2 A (for 6-9V PWR-module) and 1 A (for 6-30V PWR-module).
SATELLINE-M3-TR1 User Guide, Version 1.4 34 8 SW-RELATED COMMANDS AND OPTIONS 8.1 Repeater mode and addressing Repeaters and addressing may be used to extend the coverage area of a radio modem network, and to direct messages to selected radio modems in the network. In large systems, with several repeaters and formed repeater chains, it is often practical to use routing instead of plain addresses. More information at Satel.com 8.2 Message routing This feature allows messages from terminal devices to be automatically routed over the radio modem network to a specified recipient terminal. More information at Satel.com 8.3 Virtual Mode Routing More information at Satel.com 8.4 SL-Commands An SL-command is a one continuous string of characters, which is separated from other data by pauses that are equal or greater than time defined by Pause length parameter (default=3 characters) in the set-up. No extra characters are allowed at the end of an SL-command. Serial interface settings are the same as in data transfer and MODE pin MUST NOT be connected to ground (GND). SL-command is properly recognised also in the case when the command string is terminated in <CR> (=ASCII character no. 13, Carriage Return, 0x0d) or <CR><LF> (<LF> = ASCII char. no. 10, Line Feed, 0x0a). If multiple SL commands are sent to the radio modem the next command can be given after receiving the response ("Ok" or "Error") of the proceeding command. In addition, it is recommended to implement a timeout to the terminal software for recovering the case when no response is received from the radio modem. When the power of a radio modem is switched off the configuration settings of a radio modem always return to values defined initially using the Programming Mode, thus resetting any settings changed using SL-commands during power on. It is however possible to save settings changed by using SL-commands and to make them the new configuration settings.
SATELLINE-M3-TR1 User Guide, Version 1.4 35 The radio modem will acknowledge all commands by returning an "OK" (command carried out or accepted) or the requested value, or an "ERROR" (command not carried out or interpreted as erroneous) message. 8.4.1 Changing parameters using the SL-COMMANDS The controlling terminal device can change the configuration settings of a radio modem. This is accomplished with the help of SL-commands, which can be used during data transfer. SL-commands can be used to change e.g. the frequency or addresses. It is also possible to interrogate a radio modem in order to gain information concerning current settings that are in use. The terminal device is either a PC or a programmable logic (PLC) together with suitable (terminal) program. SL-commands must be enabled (in the set-up) before they can be used.
