Part C – Applications
Generic Connectivity
Application Detail
The M Series has been designed for SCADA and telemetry
applications, and any other applications that use an ASCII
communications protocol, and which connect physically using the
RS232 interface standard (although converters can be used to adapt
other interfaces such as RS422/485, RS530/V35, G703 etc).
SCADA Systems
Any protocol that can be displayed using a PC based terminal
program operating via a serial communications port is suitable for
transmission by the M Series radio modems.
An ASCII protocol is any that consists of message strings formed
from ASCII characters, that being defined as a 10 or 11 bit block
including start and stop bits, 7 or 8 data bits and optional parity bit(s).
Port set-up dialog that includes the expressions “N,8,1”, or E,7,2” or
similar indicate an ASCII protocol.
Most of the dominant telemetry industry suppliers utilise proprietary
ASCII protocols, and also common 'open standard” industry protocols
such as DNP3, MODBUS, TCP/IP, and PPP. These are all ASCII
based protocols.
Industries and Applications
The M Series products are widely used in point-to-point and point-tomultipoint (multiple access) applications for remote interconnection of
PLCs, RTUs, dataloggers, and other data monitoring and control
devices - including specialist utility devices (such as powerline
ACRs). In addition, other applications such as area wide security and
alarm systems, public information systems (traffic flow and public
signage systems) and environmental monitoring systems.
© Copyright 2004 Trio DataCom Pty. Ltd.
This is where one or more centralised control sites are used to monitor
and control remote field devices over wide areas. Examples include
regional utilities monitoring and controlling networks over entire shires
or a greater city metropolis. Industry sectors include energy utilities
(gas and electricity distribution), water and sewerage utilities,
catchment and environment groups (rivers, dams and catchment
management authorities).
Telemetry Systems
Dedicated telemetry control systems interconnecting sequential
devices either where cabling is not practical or distances are
considerable.
Examples include:
•
ore conveyor or slurry pipeline systems
•
simple water systems (pump and reservoir interlinking)
•
broadcast industry (linking studio to transmitter) etc.
Information Systems
Public Information systems such as freeway vehicle flow, travel time
monitoring, feedback signage, parking signage systems and
meteorological stations etc.

Part C – Applications
Systems Architecture
Point-to-Point
This simple system architecture provides a virtual connection between
the two points, similar to a cable. Operation is half-duplex.
Point-to-Multipoint Systems
In a multiple access radio system, messages can be broadcast from
one (master) site to all others, either using a half duplex radio system
or from any site to all others, using a simplex radio channel.
Half duplex systems often utilise a full duplex master (EB or EH), to
make the system simpler and for faster operation.
In either case, it will be necessary for
the application to support an
addressing system, since the master
needs to be able to select which
remote device it wishes to
communicate with. The radio system
operates “transparently”, allowing the
application’s protocol to provide the
addressing, and thus control the traffic.
Page 10

M Series Data Radio – User Manual
Part C – Applications
Digipeater Systems
This configuration is used where all sites are required to communicate
via a repeater site. A repeater site is used because it has a position
and/or height advantage and thus provides superior or extended RF
coverage. The radio modem at the repeater does not have to be
physically connected to the application’s master site. Information from
the application’s master is transmitted to the repeater via radio, and the
repeater then relays this information to the other field sites. In this
scenario, the repeater is the master from an RF point of view, and the
application master is effectively a “remote” from an RF point of view,
even though it is controlling the data transfer on the system.
E Series Backbone Store and Forward
Systems (Using M Series Remotes)
Store and forward is used as a way of extending RF coverage by
repeating data messages from one site to another.
Example shows E Series Backbone with E or M Series remotes.

Part D – System Planning and Design
Understanding RF Path
Requirements
A radio modem needs a minimum amount of received RF signal to
operate reliably and provide adequate data throughput.
In most cases, spectrum regulatory authorities will also define or limit
the amount of signal that can be transmitted, and the transmitted power
will decay with distance and other factors, as it moves away from the
transmitting antenna.
It follows, therefore, that for a given transmission level, there will be a
finite distance at which a receiver can operate reliably with respect to
the transmitter.
Apart from signal loss due to distance, other factors that will decay a
signal include obstructions (hills, buildings, foliage), horizon (effectively
the bulge between two points on the earth), and (to a minimal extent at
UHF frequencies) factors such as fog, heavy rain-bursts, dust storms,
etc.
In order to ascertain the available RF coverage from a transmitting
station, it will be necessary to consider these factors. This can be
done in a number of ways, including
(a)
using basic formulas to calculate the theoretically available
signal - allowing only for free space loss due to distance,
(b)
using sophisticated software to build earth terrain models and
apply other correction factors such as earth curvature and the
effects of obstructions, and
(c)
by actual field strength testing.
It is good design practice to consider the results of at least two of these
models to design a radio path.

Part D – System Planning and Design
Selecting Antennas
Tuning the Antenna
There are basically two types of antennas – omni-directional and
directional.
Many antennas are manufactured for use over a wide frequency
range. Typical fixed use antennas such as folded dipoles and yagis
are generally supplied with the quoted gain available over the entire
specified band range, and do not require tuning. Co-linear antennas are
normally built to a specific frequency specified when ordering.
Omnidirectional antennas are designed to radiate signal in a 360
degrees segment around the antenna. Basic short range antennas
such as folded dipoles and ground independent whips are used to
radiate the signal in a “ball” shaped pattern. High gain omni antennas
such as the “co-linear” compress the sphere of energy into the
horizontal plane, providing a relatively flat “disc” shaped pattern which
goes further because all of the energy is radiated in the horizontal
plane.
Directional antennas are designed to concentrate the signal into a
“beam” of energy for transmission in a single direction (i.e. for point-topoint or remote to base applications).
Beamwidths vary according to the antenna type, and so can be
selected to suit design requirements. The most common UHF
directional antenna is the yagi, which offers useable beam widths of
30-50 degrees. Even higher “gain” is available using parabolic “dish”
type antennas such as gridpacks.
With mobile “whip” type antennas, it is sometimes necessary to
“tune” the antenna for the best performance on the required frequency.
This is usually done by trimming an antenna element whilst measuring
VSWR, or simply trimming to a manufacturer supplied chart showing
length vs frequency. These antennas would normally be supplied with
the tuning information provided.
Antenna Placement
When mounting the antenna, it is necessary to consider the following
criteria:
The mounting structure will need to be solid enough to withstand
additional loading on the antenna mount due to extreme wind, ice or
snow (and in some cases, large birds).
For omni directional antennas, it is necessary to consider the effect of
the mounting structure (tower mast or building) on the radiation pattern.
Close in structures, particularly steel structures, can alter the radiation
pattern of the antenna. Where possible, omni antennas should always
be mounted on the top of the mast or pole to minimise this effect. If this
is not possible, mount the antenna on a horizontal outrigger to get it at
least 1-2m away from the structure. When mounting on buildings, a
small mast or pole (2-4m) can significantly improve the radiation
pattern by providing clearance from the building structure.
Antenna Gain
By compressing the transmission energy into a disc or beam, the
antenna provides more energy (a stronger signal) in that direction, and
thus is said to have a performance “gain” over a basic omni antenna.
Gain is usually expressed in dBd, which is referenced to a standard
folded dipole. Gain can also be expressed in dBi, which is referenced
to a theoretical “isotropic” radiator. Either way, if you intend to send
and receive signals from a single direction, there is advantage in using
a directional antenna - both due to the increased signal in the wanted
direction, and the relatively decreased signal in the unwanted direction
(i.e. “interference rejection” properties).
For directional antennas, it is generally only necessary to consider the
structure in relation to the forward radiation pattern of the antenna,
unless the structure is metallic, and of a solid nature. In this case it is
also prudent to position the antenna as far away from the structure as
is practical. With directional antennas, it is also necessary to ensure
that the antenna cannot move in such a way that the directional
beamwidth will be affected. For long yagi antennas, it is often
necessary to install a fibreglass strut to stablilise the antenna under
windy conditions.
Alignment of Directional Antennas
This is generally performed by altering the alignment of the antenna
whilst measuring the received signal strength. If the signal is weak, it
may be necessary to pre-align the antenna using a compass, GPS,
visual or map guidance in order to “find” the wanted signal. Yagi
antennas have a number of lower gain “lobes” centred around the
primary lobe. When aligning for best signal strength, it is important to
scan the antenna through at least 90 degrees, to ensure that the centre
(strongest) lobe is identified.
When aligning a directional antenna, avoid placing your hands or body
in the vicinity of the radiating element or the forward beam pattern, as
this will affect the performance of the antenna.

Part D – System Planning and Design
RF Feeders and Protection
Data Connectivity
The antenna is connected to the radio modem by way of an RF feeder.
In choosing the feeder type, one must compromise between the loss
caused by the feeder, and the cost, flexibility, and bulk of lower loss
feeders. To do this, it is often prudent to perform path analysis first, in
order to determine how much “spare” signal can be allowed to be lost
in the feeder. The feeder is also a critical part of the lightning protection
system.
The V24 Standard
All elevated antennas may be exposed to induced or direct lightning
strikes, and correct grounding of the feeder and mast are an essential
part of this process. Gas discharge lightning arresters should also be
fitted to all sites.
Note: All ETSI installations require the use of a lightning surge
arrestor in order to meet EN6095. See Part A - Preface for lightning
arrestor specifications.

The M Series radio modems provide an asynchronous V24 compliant
RS232 port for connection to a serial data device.
There are two types of RS232 interfaces – DTE and DCE.
DTE stands for data terminal equipment and is generally applied to
any intelligent device that has a need to communicate to another
device via RS232. For example: P.C. Comm ports are always DTE,
as are most PLC and RTU serial ports.
DCE stands for data communication equipment and is generally
applied to a device used for sending data over some medium (wires,
radio, fibre etc), i.e. any MODEM.
The standard interface between a DTE and DCE device (using the
same connector type) is a straight through cable (i.e. each pin
connects to the same numbered corresponding pin at the other end of
the cable).
The “V24” definition originally specified the DB25 connector standard,
but this has been complicated by the emergence of the DB9 (pseudo)
standard for asynch devices, and this connector standard has different
pin assignments.
The wiring standard is “unbalanced”, and provides for three basic data
transfer wires (TXD, RXD, and SG – signal ground).

Power Supply and Environmental
Considerations
General
When mounting the equipment, consideration should be given to the
environmental aspects of the site. The cabinet should be positioned so
that it is shaded from hot afternoon sun, or icy cold wind. Whilst the
radios are designed for harsh temperature extremes, they will give a
longer service life if operated in a more stable temperature
environment. In an industrial environment, the radio modems should
be isolated from excessive vibration, which can cause data errors and
destroy electronic components, solder joints, and crystals.
The cabinet should provide full protection from moisture, dust,
corrosive atmospheres, and residues from ants and small vermin
(which can be corrosive or conductive). The radio modem will radiate
heat from the in-built heatsink, and the higher the transmitter duty
cycle, the more heat will be radiated from the heatsink. Ensure there is
sufficient ventilation in the form of passive or forced air circulation to
ensure that the radio is able to maintain quoted temperature limits.
In solar or battery-backed installations, a battery management unit
should be fitted to cut off power to the radio when battery levels fall
below the minimum voltage specification of the radio. In solar
applications, a solar regulation unit MUST ALSO be fitted to ensure
that the radio (and battery) is protected from excessive voltage under
full sun conditions.
When calculating solar and battery capacity requirements, the constant
current consumption will be approximately equal to the transmit current
multiplied by the duty cycle of the transmitter, plus the receive current
multiplied by the (remaining) duty cycle of the receiver.
The Tx/Rx duty cycle will be entirely dependent on the amount of data
being transmitted by the radio modem, unless the device has been
configured for continuous transmit, in which case the constant current
consumption will be equal to the transmit current only (at 100% duty
cycle).
Note: Operation below the minimum specified supply voltages could
result in poor radio performance. If the supply voltage falls below
7.2Vdc the radio will shut down. Normal radio startup will not occur
until 10Vdc is supplied.
Power Supply
Site Earthing
The power supply should provide a clean, filtered DC source. The
radio modem is designed and calibrated to operate from a 13.8VDC
regulated supply, but will operate from 10-16 volts (filtered) DC.
The radio must not be allowed to provide a ground path from chassis
to (DB9) signal ground or (-) battery ground. Ensure that the chassis
mounting plate, power supply (-) earth, RTU terminal device, and
lightning arrester, are all securely earthed to a common ground point to
which an earth stake is attached. Please pay particular attention to
24Vdc PLC systems using DC-DC converters to supply 13.8Vdc.
The power supply must be able to supply sufficient current to provide
clean filtered DC under the full current conditions of the radio modem
(i.e. when transmitting full RF power). See Part I - Specifications for
more details of the power supply requirements.
Solar Applications
Caution: There is NO internal replaceable fuse, and therefore
the radio modem power supply MUST be externally fused.

Activating the Transmitter
In most systems, the transmitter by default is controlled automatically
by the radio when it has data to transmit.
To manually activate the radio transmitter, connect (ie: link) the RTS
signal (Pin 7) to Aux (Pin 8).
To operate in this mode, the radio must be configured via the
programming software for PTT from RTS.
Caution: Ensure a RF load is present BEFORE
transmitting.

The radio is designed to self protect, and will blow the external fuse if
the voltage exceeds 16Vdc, or if reverse polarity is applied.
The radio modem can also be damaged if there is any potential
difference between the chassis-ground, RS232 signal ground, power () input, or antenna coaxial shield. Before connecting any wiring,
ensure all components are earthed to a common ground point (please
pay particular attention to 24V PLC power systems where converters
are used).

Optimising the Antenna for best RX
signal
LED Indicators & Test Outputs
LED Legend
Once the unit is operational, it is important to optimise the antenna
tuning.
In the case of a directional antenna, it will be necessary to align the
antenna for the best received signal.
Radio is Powered
This can be done by using the (0-5Vdc) output on Pin 9 of the Port to
indicate signal strength (RSSI). This voltage can be converted to dBm
using the chart below.
If all the LEDs are off, check if power is reaching the radio modem.
Successful power-up is indicated by the “PWR” LED indicating a
continuous (healthy) GREEN state.
Note that this LED turns RED when the transmitter is active.
Radio Errors
Internal radio management software monitors many aspects of the
radio hardware. Under certain circumstances radio faults may prevent
normal operation. In the event that these fault conditions occur, the
radio will enter an ERROR state and this will be indicated by flashing
ALL LEDs RED, then flashing a pattern of GREEN LEDs. The pattern
of all GREEN LEDs represents the specific type of error that has
occurred. See Table below.

Received Signal Indicator
LED Legend
The “Rx/Synch” LED is used to indicate the state of the receiver. If
the LED is off, no signal is being received. A RED indication shows
that an RF carrier is being received, but no data stream can be
decoded. This may indicate the presence of interference or another
user on the channel.
Verifying Operational Health
It is possible to verify the operation of the radio modem using the
indicators provided by the unit. The state of the transmitter and
receiver, and data flow can be interpreted by the indicator LEDs (see
below).

EB450 Quick Start Guide
Introduction
Welcome to the Quick Start Guide for the EB450 Base / Repeater
Data Radio. This guide provides step-by-step instructions, with simple
explanations to get you up-and-running.
Mounting and Environmental
Considerations
The EB450 Base Station is housed in a 2RU 19” rack enclosure. The
4 mounting holes on the front panel should be used to secure the unit to
the rack.
The radio should be mounted in a clean and dry location, protected
from water, excessive dust, corrosive fumes, extremes of temperature
and direct sunlight. Please allow sufficient passive or active ventilation
to allow the radio modem’s heatsink to operate efficiently.
All permanent connections are made at the rear of the unit. This
includes: Power, Antenna, Communications Ports, Digital I/O and
System Port. The front panel has an additional System Port
connection point for easy access.
External Duplexer Considerations
The EB450 is normally supplied with separate Tx and Rx ports for
connection to an external duplexing system.
Depending on the frequency band of operation and the Tx/Rx
frequency split, internal band reject duplexers are available.

Typical Radio Setup
Digital Inputs and Outputs
The EB450 provides a facility for two channels of digital user inputs
and outputs (Digital User I/O). Information on how to control and
monitor this I/O using TVIEW+ Diagnostics can be found in the E
Series User Manual - Part J - TVIEW+ Management Suite - Remote
Diagnostics & Network Controller.
All user I/O is optocoupled for isolation between the EB450 and uses
equipment. When using the I/O facility the I/O electrical characteristics
and ratings must be observed. Failure to observe these ratings may
result in equipment damage.
Inputs
Two User Inputs are available. They have identical interface
characteristics. Each input has an internal resistance of 470 Ohms.
Some form of switching contact (ie: switch, relay) is normally used to
change the state of the input. Both an isolated and non-isolated input
configuration is possible.
TVIEW+ Diagnostics will recognise an input as being ON when the
switch is closed. If the switch is open (or not connected) TVIEW+
diagnostics will recognise the inputs as being OFF.
Outputs
Two User Outputs (Open Collector) are available. They have identical
interface characteristics. The maximum current allowed through each
output is 20ma. External resistors must be used keep the current
below this value.
Each output has an internal resistance of 100 Ohms.Ohms law can be
used to calculate the resistance required for a specific voltage (keeping
the current below 20mA). Nominally 1k Ohm is used for a +13v8
supply and 330 Ohms for a +5v supply.
When the OUTPUT is OFF, V = Vs. No current will flow when output
is off.
When the OUTPUT is ON, V = nominally 2.3 volts . Current is set
by resistor.

interference, or another user on the channel.
Indication: <-120dBm no LED’s on, -120 to -110.1dBm LED’s RED,
>=-110dBm LED’s GREEN.
A continuous GREEN indication shows that the modem is locked and
synchronised to the incoming signal, and has excellent Bit Error Rate
(BER). Any losses of synchronisation (BER errors) are shown as a
visible RED flicker of the LED.
Note: This might only be apparent on a PTMP slave when only
receiving.
RxFreq. Offset:
Indicates offset of receiver AFC - useful in determining frequency drift.
Typically 0kHz.
Indication: Single GREEN LED to indicate current value, <-3.6kHz or
>+3.6kHz LED is RED. No signal, all LED’s OFF.
Note: 5 second peak hold circuitry.
Data Flow “breakout” LEDs
Test Mode
There are also two LEDs to indicate data flow into and out of the two
user ports.
The Bar Graph indicators have a Test Mode, which cycles all LED’s
for correct operation (before returning to their normal operation). To
activate this mode, simply depress the ON / OFF button while
applying power to the unit.
Input data to be transmitted is shown as a RED flash, and received
data to be output to the port is shown as a GREEN flash.
If data is alternately flowing in and out quickly, then the indicator
appears Orange.

Operational Description
The Hot Standby Controller (HSC) unit is a 1RU rack mounted
module that interfaces to two physically separate base stations (each
2RU rack mounted modules) via a number of RF and data cables.
Both base stations are operating simultaneously and both units are
constantly receiving signals, however only data from one base
station, the “online” base station is directed to the user equipment. The
online base station is the only base station transmitting at any time.
The Hot Standby Controller has the following functions:
•
Diplex the transmit and receive paths (Assuming internal
duplexer fitted), TX Only.
•
Amplify and split the incoming signal two ways so both base
stations receive at once.
•
Monitor status reports from both base stations to identify faults
and swap over the online base station if required.
•
Switch the antenna via internal coaxial relay duplexer to the
online base station transmitter and inhibit the offline base station
from transmitting.
•
Switch the User A and B data ports through to the online base
station.
Mounting and Environmental
Considerations
The EH450 Hot Standby Base Station is housed as a 5RU 19” rack
mounted set, encompassing 2 x 2RU Base Station units and 1 x 1RU
Hot Standby Controller unit. The mounting holes on the front panels
should be used to secure the units to the rack.
The unit should be mounted in a clean and dry location, protected from
water, excessive dust, corrosive fumes, extremes of temperature and
direct sunlight. Please allow sufficient passive or active ventilation to
allow the radio modem’s heatsink to operate efficiently.
All permanent connections are made at the rear of the unit. This
includes: Power, Antenna, Communications Ports, Digital I/O and
System Port. The front panel has an additional System Port
connection point for easy access.
The Base Station front panel system ports must not be used while in
this configuration.
An optocoupler based switch in the base station controller directs data
to and from ports A and B on the rear panel directly to ports A and B
on the on-line base station without any involvement from the Hot
Standby controller microcontrollers (apart from selecting the on-line
base). This provides protection of the system from failure of the
microcontroller.
As well as ports A and B, each base has a system port. The system
port of each base station is interfaced to the microcontroller on the Hot
Standby controller. This allows the microcontroller in charge of
selecting the base station to receive diagnostic messages from each
base station to decide their health.
The base station has it’s own system port on the rear panel and this is
interfaced to the Hot Standby Controller Module. The HSC will route
diagnostics at the rear panel system port to and from the system ports
of the base stations.
Warning
The base station front panel system port has priority over the rear
panel port, which is used for communication between the base station
and the Hot Standby Controller. This is to permit service personnel to
reconfigure the base station module without disconnection from the Hot
Standby Controller. It should be noted however, that when the front
panel port is accessed, a changeover event will occur due to lost
communications with the Hot Standby Controller.

Power Supply and Protection
The EH450 has facilities for dual power supplies to provide for a
redundant system. A separate power supply should be used for each
of the Base Station units. The Hot Standby Controller unit has
connections for dual power supplies and it is recommended that the
power supplies from each of the Base Stations also be used to power
the Hot Standby Controller unit. See Figure below for further details.

incoming data from the serial line which will be transmitted to air, and a
green flash indicates a byte of data received “off air” being released
onto the serial line.
Once communications has been established, it is possible to confirm
the performance of the radio path using TVIEW+ Diagnostics and an
E-Series Radio.
If data is being sent to the radio modem and the Data LED does not
flash RED, this may indicate a wiring or configuration problem. Check
that the TX and RX data lines are correctly wired (see Part E – Getting
Started: LED Indicators and Test Outputs).
Also check that character set and parity settings (i.e. N,8,1 etc) are set
identically at the terminal and the radio modem. Note that some
incorrect settings of the character set parameter can still produce
transmittable data, even though the data will not be understood by the
application.

Part G – Maintenance
Part G – Maintenance
Routine Maintenance
Considerations
The M Series hardware itself does not require routine maintenance.
However all radio products contain crystal frequency references, and
the stability of these crystals change with time. The effect of this is that
the product will slowly drift off frequency, and eventually it will require
re-calibration. M Series radios are designed with high quality, low drift
specification references, to ensure a long maintenance free lifespan.
The length of this lifespan will depend on the severity of temperature
extremes in the operating environment, but is normally 3–5 years.
Extended frequency drift can be detected using TVIEW+ Diagnostics
“Freq error” parameter.
Re-calibration is achieved by replacing the radio in the field with a
spare, and returning the radio to a service centre for re-calibration and
specification testing at moderate cost.
Routine maintenance should be performed on external equipment
subject to greater environmental stresses including antennas, RF
feeder cables, backup batteries and cooling fans (if required). This
maintenance should include testing of site commissioning figures such
as received signal strength, VSWR, P/S voltage etc.

Introduction
Installation
This manual covers the installation and operation of the M Series
TVIEW+ Management Suite which incorporates 3 utilities:
Unit Connection
•
Programmer for configuration of the radio RF parameters,
system parameters and data ports
Programmer
•
Diagnostics* for real-time monitoring and logging of radio
performance parameters
All utilities can be run on any IBM compatible computer running
Windows 95® and above. This section describes use of the
programmer in detail. Users should refer to the E-Series User Manual
for information on the diagnostics utility.
The programmer is used to set configuration parameters within the
MR450 data radio modem and EB450 base station. The utility permits
configuration of modems connected directly to the PC as well as over
the air to a remote unit (EB and EH Only). Configuration parameters
can be saved to a disk file for later retrieval, or used for clone
programming of other modems.
All configuration parameters are held in non-volatile memory
(NVRAM) on the Data Radio Modem. Configuration is fully
programmable via the Systems Port using the programming adaptor
and cable supplied. Disassembly of the unit is not required for any
reason other than for servicing.
The diagnostics utility permits monitoring and logging of radio
performance parameters for both E Series* and M Series* data radio
modems and E Series* base stations. It supports homogeneous
systems of radios as well as mixed systems of both E and M series
radios.
* Requires the optional DIAGS Network Management and Remote
Diagnostic Facility to be installed - per radio. Local (unit) diagnostics
only when connected to M Series radio.

Programmer
Main Window
When first started the programmer is in file mode as indicated by the
mode field at the bottom right of the panel shown below. In this mode it
is possible to open a previously saved configuration file, or configure
various programming options and save the configuration to a file.
Note: Modulation type is not available in this mode.
To commence programming a unit (radio remote or base station) a
session must first be established by using the “READ” function. This
function reads the current configuration from the unit and displays it in
the main window. Several options in the main window may be
blanked out until a session has been established with a unit.
Note: Changing any item on the menu will in general not take effect
until data is written back to the unit using the “WRITE” function.
The procedure to follow for normal programming of unit is:
•
Read unit
•
Configure parameters (or Open a previously saved
configuration file)
•
Write unit
Several modems of the same radio type can be programmed with the
same configuration using the clone facility described in Clone Mode. It
is important to note that when using this facility the cloned radio should
be of the same type to ensure it does not operate outside its capability.

Pull Down Menus and Toolbar Buttons
Exit (also available on the toolbar)
The items on the pull-down menus can be selected either directly with
a mouse or using the ALT key in combination with a HOT KEY (e.g.
ALT-F to select the file menu). Several of the functions within each
menu are also available on the toolbar (click once to select).
This function terminates the program. The user is requested to confirm
this selection before exiting the application.
File Menu
The file menu allows the user to load (open) or save configuration data
as well as to quit the program. The files are saved with an “.cfg” file
extension
Open (also available on the toolbar)
This function is used to load an existing configuration file that can be
used to directly program the radio or to use as a starting point to edit
configuration parameters. Note that a session must be established
with the unit by initially reading the configuration parameters from the
unit prior to being written to a unit.
If in file mode the modulation type will not be displayed. If in local/
remote mode and a file that was saved from local/remote mode is
opened, then modulation type will be imported and used, but only if it
is valid for the connected hardware. If not, then the unit’s read
modulation type will be used.
Save (also available on the toolbar)
This function is used to save the current configuration parameters to a
file for future recall.
If in “file mode” only basic RF, Port and System parameters are
saved and re called. If in local/remote mode then modulation type is
saved and re called.
Print (also available on the toolbar)
This function prints out the configuration data to the default printer in a
standard format. There are no options for this item.
This should be used if a complete record is required for site/unit
configuration. Firmware/Modulation/Diags/Hardware type are all
printed.
Modem Menu
This radio menu allows configuration data to be read from and
written to the unit (remote radio or base station) using the
selected PC serial port connection (see Settings menu). The
action of reading the configuration establishes a session with the
unit. Communications is maintained with the unit to ensure that
the session remains open. If the session has been lost due to
data transmission errors or disconnection of the programming cable it
will need to be re-established to ensure any updated configuration is
written successfully to the unit.
Read (also available on the toolbar)
This function establishes a programming session with the unit, reads
configuration data from the unit and displays it in the programmer main
window. After configuration data is read from the unit it is available for
editing and writing back to the unit or saving to a file. You can monitor
the status of your programming connection using the “Connection
Plug” icon in the top right hand corner of the programmer.
If the icon is RED and NOT CONNECTED, then a programming
session has NOT been started.
If the icon is RED and CONNECTED, then a programming session
has been started but the radio has not completed the programming
session initialisation.
If the icon is GREEN and CONNECTED, then a programming
session has been successfully started.
Write (also available on the toolbar)
This function writes configuration data displayed in the main window to
the unit and reboots the unit. When selected a dialogue window
appears prompting the user to confirm whether to proceed. A progress
indicator in the bottom right hand corner of the main window is
displayed while data is being read. This selection is only available if a
session has been previously established and maintained with the unit.
Note: In general, any change made on the programmer screen must
be written to the unit (using the write function) to become
permanently stored. However, changes to Power adjust and Mute
adjust take immediate effect to allow test and adjustment prior to
permanent storage via the write function.
Cancel Session (also available on the toolbar)
This function closes the session with unit and puts the programmer
back into file mode. All configuration changes are discarded including
changes to Power Adjust and Mute Adjust.

units. This feature is normally used for configuring data radio modems
connected locally.
Character Layer
The procedure is:
There are two standard formats and a custom format that can be
selected by checking the appropriate control button to the left of the
description. The standard formats are:
•
Read the configuration from the first unit.
•

•
Write the configuration to the first unit.
•
The changes will take effect when unit is re-powered.
•
Connect the next unit.
•
Write the next unit which establishes a session and recognises
the unit serial number and type, which then configures the unit
•
Re-power the unit for changes to take effect
•
Repeat the last 3 steps for the remaining units.
Settings
This menu permits selection of the PC serial port (COM1 to COM4)
to be used for communications with the unit. COM1 is the default
selection and if a different port is to be used it must be set before
establishing a session by reading the configuration from a unit. Whilst
a session is established with a unit this menu can not be accessed.

Part H – TVIEW+ Management Suite - Programmer
Packet Layer
Modbus
There are two standard configurations and a custom configuration
which can be selected by checking the appropriate control button to the
left of the description. There are essentially two basic modes of
operation for the packet assembler and disassembler (PAD).
This selection configures the PAD driver with options automatically set
to implement the MODBUS protocol, e.g. 5 mSec timer.
The first is where the PAD operates in a standard mode with data
received at the port being immediately sent over the radio channel.
The second is a store and forward or delayed mode where whole data
packets are received from the port before being sent over the radio
channel.
Custom
Other configurations of the PAD driver can be selected via the Custom
button which displays a dialogue box to permit selection of several
configuration options as follows:
SLIP / DIAGNOSTICS
In both cases data is sent over the radio channel in variable length
frames and delineation of these frames is dependent on the
configuration selected as well as the characteristics of the data stream
received at the data port.
The packet layer configuration options which can be selected are:
Standard (live framing)
With standard live framing data received from the host by the modem
is immediately placed into a frame and transferred onto the radio
channel.
This avoids placing “store and forward” delays in the data
transmission.
If a stream of characters is received by the modem, then several
characters at a time may be placed into the same frame. The number
of characters in the frame depends mainly on the respective baud
rates of the user port and the primary channel baud rate of the modem,
as well as the level of overheads experienced on the radio channel
and the user data stream.
For example a constant stream of 300 baud user data placed onto a
9600 baud channel will result in 1 character per frame being
transmitted. If the user baud rate was lifted to 9600,N,8,1 with a
continuous data stream, then the frame size would settle to about 16
characters plus 32 overhead bits. If collision avoidance is enabled as
master the average frame size will increase to 32 characters plus
overhead bits.
The number of data bits associated with the user data stream will also
have an effect on the average size of a frame. For instance the
number of stop bits, and number of data bits per character.
The system designer must choose the best compromise of all the
above items to ensure the most efficient method of data transmission.
Note: The first character is always packetised and sent by itself
regardless of all the above variables.
SLIP is a well known protocol for transferring binary data
packets over a data link. Each data packet is delineated by
 characters, and a substitution mechanism exists that
allows these characters to be included in the data packet.
Appendix B describes the SLIP protocol which is used
extensively in UNIX™ based systems, and is closely
associated with TCP/IP networks.
The diagnostics controller package uses the SLIP protocol to
communicate between base station and remote modems.
DNP-3 / IEC870
This selection configures the PAD driver to implement the DNP-3
Protocol and IEC870 Protocol.
Pull Down Menu Selection
The PAD driver can be configured for a number of vendor
specific protocols by selecting the desired option.
Custom Format
This selection permits PAD driver to be configured in a variety of
ways and requires a greater understanding of the system design.
For the modem to successfully transmit its packets (or frames) of
data over the radio channel, it must be told on what basis to
delineate data packets received at the data port. Once the end of
a data packet has been received at the port the data frame is
closed and transmission over the radio channel commences.
Delineation of data packets can be configured to occur via any
combination of:
Page 44

M Series Data Radio – User Manual
Part H – TVIEW+ Management Suite - Programmer
• A pre-defined minimum time delay between packets received
at the port. Typically the time delay would reflect the absence
of a couple of characters in the data stream at the specified
user port baud rate.
• Limiting the maximum number of characters which can be put
in the data frame sent over the radio channel.
RF Parameters
This section of the main window permits adjustment of transmitter and
receiver, radio channel modulation scheme, frequency trim and
advanced features.
• Receipt of a selected end of message (EOM) character at the
port. An ASCII carriage return (character 13) is often used for
this purpose.
As each data frame to be transmitted over the radio channel has
overhead data consisting of checksums and SID codes. The
system designer must determine the best compromise between
the ratio of overhead versus user data which depends on packet
size and user data packet transmission latency.
The fields which can be configured are:
• Character Input timer: Set the input timer value in ms or enter
zero to disable. Range 0 - 255.
• Maximum Frame Size: Set the maximum number of
characters or enter zero to disable. Range 0 - 4095.
• EOM Character: Select the check box to the left of the
description to enable and enter the EOM character as a
decimal value. Range 0 - 255.
Port Hardware
The modem acts as Data Communications Equipment (DCE) and has
the following interface signals:

Transmitter
The transmitter can be configured for transmit frequency and power
level.
Frequency
The required transmit frequency in MHz can be entered in the display
field. The programmer checks that the selected frequency is in the
range for the unit and provides warnings if outside an acceptable
range.
Power Adjust
The currently selected transmit power is displayed below the button in
dBm. The power level can be adjusted by selecting this button which
displays a dialogue box. The up/down keys, or a typed in value, can
be used to select the required power level in dBm steps. There are

Part H – TVIEW+ Management Suite - Programmer
two methods for setting the power.
•
Using Factory Calibration
To use the factory calibration of the radio the desired power is set
immediately using the OK button in the dialogue box. This
method permits the transmit power to be set without energising
the transmitter. Note that although the transmit power has been
adjusted it must be written to the unit using the “Write” function to
ensure it is retained after a power on reset.
•
Using a Power Meter
To overcome manufacturing variations in the power setting a
more accurate setting of power can be achieved by the selecting
the “Test With Meter” button in the dialogue box. This displays
another dialogue box warning the user that the transmitter is about
to be energised and that the power meter used should be able to
handle at least 10 Watts from the modem.
Selecting OK in this warning dialogue box will energise the
transmitter which will also be indicated by the red transmit LED
on the unit. The power is adjusted using the up/down keys until
the required power level is obtained. Selecting OK will retain the
power setting and turn the transmitter off.
The mute level should be set to assist the unit in filtering out unwanted
signals. Unwanted signals can be the result of background noise or
interference. The mute level should be set at a level above these
unwanted signals and at a level low enough to detect the wanted
signal. Detection of a received signal above the mute level is indicated
by the “RxSig” LED on the unit.
Due to normal manufacturing variations the actual mute level may
vary by several dBm to that selected. If a more accurate adjustment
is required an unmodulated signal of the correct frequency and desired
threshold level can be applied to the radio modem’s antenna connector.
Modulation
The currently selected modulation scheme is displayed in the main
window below the select button. The modulation scheme can be
adjusted by selecting this button which displays a dialogue box. The
desired modulation scheme can then be selected from the pull-down
menu in the dialogue box and retained using the OK button. Please
select the modulation scheme as directed by your license conditions
or suggested by your local regulatory authority.
Note: Although the transmit power has been adjusted it must be
written to the unit using the modem “Write” function to ensure it
is retained after the unit is rebooted.
Selecting “stop test” will stop and leave you in power adjust
box. “Cancel” will stop test and take you back to the main
window.
Receiver
The receiver can be configured for receive frequency and mute level.
Frequency
The required receive frequency in MHz can be entered in the display
field. The programmer checks that the selected frequency is in the
range for the particular model of radio and provides warnings if not.
Mute Adjust
The currently selected mute level is displayed in the main window
below the button in dBm. The mute level can be adjusted by selecting
this button which displays a dialogue box. The up/down keys, or a
typed in value, can be used to select the required mute level in dBm
steps. Whilst a session is in progress with a unit the mute level
adjustment is live. Selecting OK will retain the mute level setting. Note
that although the mute level has been adjusted it must be written to the
unit using the “Write” function to ensure it is retained after the unit is
rebooted.

System Parameters
Unit Information
This section of the main window configures the PTT control, collision
avoidance, stream setup for routing of data, advanced features and
provides unit information.
PTT (Press To Talk) Control
RF transmission can be configured to occur permanently,
automatically on data received at Port A or Port B (E Series only), or
RTS being asserted on Port A or Port B (E Series only). A PTT
timeout facility can be configured to limit the period for which the
transmitter is enabled. Each option is selected by setting the control to
the left of the description on the main window. When PTT is active the
“Tx” LED on the unit is illuminated and RF power is being fed to the
antenna.
Auto On Data
This will cause the transmitter to be enabled (keyed) automatically on
data received at Port A or Port B (E Series only) and included in a
complete frame for transmission over the radio channel. The maximum
period for which the transmitter will be enabled is limited by the PTT
timeout setting.
From Port A RTS
This will cause the transmitter to be enabled (keyed) on Port A RTS
being asserted. The maximum period for which the transmitter will be
enabled is limited by the PTT timeout setting. Applications which rely
on establishing a link ahead of data being transferred require this
method of activation.
The information displayed is intended to assist the user to identify the
radio modem as well as support should their services be needed.
Radio Model refers to the type of unit. The MR450 is a remote
unit and the EE450 is a exciter inside a base station unit.
Radio Type refers to the frequency band supported by the radio
as well as the channel bandwidth. For example 51A02 is a type
51 band with a 25kHz channel.
PTT Timeout
Diags Installed is set to yes or no depending on whether the
diagnostics key has been set in the unit.
The PTT timeout facility is used to disable the transmitter if it exceeds
the designated time. The timeout value can range from 1 to 255
seconds and the facility is disabled by setting a zero value.
Serial Number is unique to each unit and is set within the unit at
time of production as well as included on the label fixed to the
unit.
The timeout value chosen for this should be set according to system
requirements which may include:
Firmware Pack refers to the firmware package version installed
in the radio. There are several components associated with
microcontroller and DSP firmware installed and a single version
number is used to identify them.
•
Prevention of a remote unit remaining keyed up and locking out
all other remote units in a point to multipoint system.
•
Limiting the period a remote unit remains keyed up to prevent
battery drain in a low power application.
Note: If a PTT timeout occurs before completion of a data
transmission data will be lost.
