These can be viewed on the Counter PollHistory Tab.Notes: The controller will attempt a series of polls when either resettingor retrieving the counters. You should monitor the statuswindow to ensure that the poll process completes. If errorsoccur, they may be due to conditions like packet collisions on abusy network, diagnostic controller trying to perform too manypoll functions (i.e. group polling, individual polling), etc. E Series data radios have 32 bit counters and will count for 1year, 4 months & 10 days if not reset occurs. If an HSC Base is selected, data will only be collected fromthat base, whether offline or online. With D Series pairs, datacan only be collected from the online unit.Indicative Packet Error Test Tab with Commissioning RecordThis Tab provides a simple link test facility. When this is running,continuous Poll/Response diagnostic messages will be transmitted toand from the unit and Packet Error Rate results recorded. If aresponse is not received within the Poll Response Timeout period,then an error (last Packet) is recorded. If the system is live, collisionsare likely and may effect Error results.Channel Occ Sliding: = RSSIgoodTicker / RTT * 100(Average from last update)Channel Utilisation (%): = (GoodByteCnt * 8) / (RTT *RFChannelBitRate)Miscellaneous:Lost Synch: = Increments on lost synch, must bevalidated with RxSig.

Page 69E Series Data Radio  User Manual © Copyright 2004 Trio DataCom Pty. Ltd.Interpreting Poll ResultsGeneralThe results returned by the poll requests give an indication of systemperformance. When a new modem is added to the database, defaultvalues are assigned for the limits of the returned results. The user canassign different values to these limits as required, which is determinedby the fault tolerance level of their systems.RSSIThe default RSSI limits are set at -30 to -105 dBm (-110 dBm forBase/Repeater Station). Above -30 dBm the front end of the receiverwill saturate and it is unlikely that signal levels much higher than thiswill ever be reported. Below -105/-110 dBm the error rate maybecome too high for some applications. In the modem the RSSImeasurement is made periodically each 100mS, while R F carrier isbeing detected.Transmitter powerThe transmitter power limits are set at between 0mW and 20,000mW.The modems will normally be operating at a power level of 1 watt.The above limits are set to ±3dB of the nominal (3dB represents afactor of 2 for power measurements).The effect of a change in transmittal power can be transposed to thereceiver BER curves (3dB down at the transmitter is 3dB down at thereceiver). The amount of variation tolerated will be determined by theRF path loss of the data link being used.If the modem is set to low power, then the transmittal power will benominally 200mW. Suggested limits for this would be 100mW and400mW (±3dB).For base station units or remote units set to high power, the nominaltransmitter power is 5 watts. Suggested limits on these would be 2.5watts to 10 watts (±3dB).In the modem the reported transmit power measurement is given froma measurement made of the last transmission made by the modems.When the PTT is ON a periodic measurement is made of the transmitpower. The modem stores this away and reports it when requested.Parameter Resolution Absolute accuracy @ RTDrift over Temp. range NotesTemperature 0.1 degC +/- 4 degC +/- 1 degCSupply Voltage 0.1 volts +/- 0.5V +/- 0.08V +/- 0.45%Rx Signal Strength 0.1 dBm +/- 3 dB +/- 2 dBFrequency Error 1Hz +/- 200Hz +/- 2500HzTx Power (Remote) 0.1 dBm +/- 1.5 dB +/- 0.3 dB Note 1Tx Reverse Power(Remote) 0.1 dBm +/- 3 dB +/- 1 dBTx Power (Base) 0.1 dBm +/- 0.8 dB +/- 1 dB Note 2Tx Reverse Power (Base) 0.1 dBmNotes:1. Remote Tx power measurements will vary due to power setting variation which can have an initial error of +/- 0.5 dB and final error of +/- 0.2 dB2. Base Tx power measurements will vary due to power setting variation by the exciter which can have an initial/final error of +/- 0.2 dB and overshoot by the PA <1 dB.TemperatureThe modem is specified to operate within the temperature range of -30°C to 65°C. The defaults limits are set to -30°C and 60°C. At65°C the modem goes into a high temperature foldback mode, whenthe power is reduced to the low power mode. This is to reduce therisk of damage to the final stage of the transmitter at excessivetemperatures.The modem will operate outside this temperature range but it is notrecommended.Supply VoltageThe modem is specified to operate over a DC supply range of 11V to16V. The default levels are set to 11.5V to 15.5V. The modem will notoperate correctly outside these bounds and damage may occur withhigh voltage levels being applied.FrequencyThe frequency limits are set to ±3000Hz. This is basically thedifference between the different ends of a data link. If the differencegets much greater than this, data errors may occur (the modem willhave a degree of long term frequency drift of 1ppm / annum due to thephysical properties of internal components).Part J  TVIEW+ Management Suite - Remote Diagnostics & Network Controller

Although not truly astandard it is so widely used that it has become the defacto standardfor serial interface in UNIX and many other networked systems.SLIP is a method of framing messages containing binary data, onasynchronous channels. The asynchronous serial channel isconfigured for eight bit character size, no parity, and one stop.A specific binary code called FEND (Frame End, hexadecimalvalue=C0) is reserved to define a frame boundary. Should this samecode occur in the data message to be transferred across the channelcontrolled under SLIP, then an escape sequence is used so that themessage byte will not be confused for a FEND. This escapesequence, involves replacing the message hexadecimal C0 codewith a two byte sequence FESC, TFEND. FESC (Frame Escape)is the binary code hexadecimal DB, and TFEND (Transposed FEND)is binary code hexadecimal DC. Likewise, if the FESC characterever appears in the user data, it is replaced with the two charactersequence FESC, TFESC (Transposed FESC). The TFESC is thebinary code hexadecimal DD. The following table clarifies this.Abbreviation Description Hex.ValueFEND Frame end C0FESC Frame escape DBTFEND Transposed frame end DCTFESC Transposed frame escape DDAs characters arrive at the SLIP receiver, they are appended to abuffer containing the current frame. Receiving a FEND marks the endof the frame, and consequently, succeeding bytes are considered partof the next frame.Receipt of a FESC code puts the SLIP receiver into escaped mode,causing it to translate a following TFESC or TFEND back to a FESCor FEND code, appending it to the buffer, and resuming its normalstate. Receipt of any byte other than TFESC or TFEND while inescaped mode, is an error. No translation occurs, and the SLIPreceiver leaves escaped mode. A TFESC or TFEND received whilenot in escaped mode is treated as an ordinary character and storedaccordingly. Reception of consecutive FEND characters, causes noaction to be taken (i.e. is not interpreted as zero length frames).An example of a typical SLIP frame is shown below. The messageconsists of the string DA,C4,C0,C5,DB,20,BD,DC,DD. The SLIPframe will be:-DA,C4,<FESC>,<TFEND>,C5,<FESC>,<TFESC>,20,BD,DC,DD,<FEND> ==> DA,C4,DB,DC,C5,DB,DD,20,BD,DC,DD,C0
