E Series Data Radio – User Manual
Part J – TVIEW+ Management Suite - Remote Diagnostics & Network Controller
Poll Group Select
Under the Polling menu, select “Poll Group Select...”
This dialog box enables Adding/Removing of radios to/from the
automatic poll group. Units in the Selection list box are available for
adding to the poll group. These units will not be polled during a group
poll cycle.
The line above Status Polls is a “Processing Status Bar”. It will
display messages about errors, warnings and poll processing.
Polling Button
The selected unit will be removed from the poll group, then polled at
the selectable rate (Poll Repetition time) by clicking the Polling button.
Poll Repetition Time (2 to 3600 Sec)
Is the rate at which individual status polling will occur. Click on the
“Apply” button to apply any change made to the poll repetition time.
Switch Exciter (HSC Only)
Only visible if the selected unit is a “Hot Standby Base station” then a
switch base facility is provided for remote switching of the exciter
units. With polling on, click on the “Switch Exciter” button. The
changeover may take a number of seconds. The active unit will be
displayed in the “Active unit” field.
Units in the Poll Group list box will be polled during a group poll
cycle.
Clicking the Save button will save any changes in the poll group to
the database.
Group Polling
This is the standard mode of operation. The diagnostic controller will
continuously cycle through the poll group, unit by unit at the poll
repetition time (2 to 3600 secs).
Bar Graph
Display Bar Graph can be selected and will display all polls on the
“Bar Graph”. If a unit alarms, the measurement in question will have
a red background in the Text box.
Note: The hot standby base station has a minimum “toggle” time of 1
minute. This is to avoid rapid switching between exciter units, should
a fault be detected in both modems.
Data Logging
Status poll and Alarm data can be logged to a database file for viewing
at a later date. A relational database is created and managed using
Microsoft Jet database engine Ver3.5. The database file, which is an
“.mdb” file, can be accessed with external programs such as
Microsoft Access. You have the option of enabling logging of Status
polls only, Alarms only or both.
Log Status Polls
To log Status polls either select “Log Status polls” under the Data
Logging menu item or click the corresponding toolbar button.
Log Alarms
To log Alarms either select “Log Alarms” under the Data Logging menu
item or click the corresponding toolbar button.
Note: If “Auto Logging ON” is enabled in the settings dialog box, then
Status Poll logging and Alarm logging will automatically be turned on
when Group or Individual polling is turned on.
Individual Poll
Allows intensive polling of a single unit, independently of any group
polling that may be active. The individual poll window provides a bar
graph display for rapid visual recognition of the radio modems
parameter levels.

View History
Status poll history may be viewed using the Status Poll & Alarm
History window. This window has three tables: Status Poll History,
Alarm History and Base Station Activity. Each table has a “Number
of Records” box to indicate how big the selection is.
You may select “ALL” to see every units poll results, or view an
individual units poll results.

E Series Data Radio – User Manual
Part J – TVIEW+ Management Suite - Remote Diagnostics & Network Controller
The line above Status Polls is a “Processing Status Bar”. It will
display messages about errors, warnings and poll processing.
From To or ALL Fields
These fields determine the time span you wish to view. For example,
if you have collected several months of data, and only wish to view a
24 hour period, then adjust the From: and To: fields accordingly and
select the unit.
When the History window first appears, the From: and To: fields will
contain the last 24 hours of data.
If “ALL” is selected it will display the start and end dates of the
database. The Date/Time format will be as per the regional settings
short date format.
Features available include:
•
Scaling of graph(s).
•
View individual poll results using the cursor.
•
Automatically scroll through the group poll database, unit by
unit at a selectable time interval.
•
No Acknowledge messages are displayed by a gap in the
graphed data and a “NoAck” in other on the Time Line.
The line above Status Polls is a “Processing Status Bar”. It will
display messages about errors, warnings and poll processing.
Vertical Scale Setting
•
Manually set the vertical scales by simple typing in the new
level(s), then either press “Enter” or click on the “Re Draw”
button, or select a new unit.
•
Click the “Default Ranges” button to set all the vertical scales
back to the default levels.
Each of these tables can be sorted in ascending order by: unit, date or
poll parameter. To sort, just click on the required column header.
•
Click the “Set Ranges to Alarm Limits” button to set the vertical
scale limits to the selected unit alarm limits.
To show the full status of a single report in the “Alarm History” click on
the box at the left by the unit name. Note this only works on valid poll
results not “NoAck”.
From: & To: Fields
Note: The smaller the time span you select, the faster the database
search will be. This will also depend on the poll rate that was used
during that time span.
Sorting
Printing
A printout of each table is possible by clicking on the associated Print
button. The table data will be sent to the default printer and formatted
as per your default printer configuration set up.
View Trend
The logged status poll data can be viewed in graph format, which
allows viewing of status trends over selectable time spans. This
provides a very effective and fast method of analysing a units’
operating parameters over time.
Select “View Trend” under the Data Logging menu item or click the
associated toolbar button.

Radio modems with Firmware Revisions 2.4.x and above have the
advanced statistical counters as noted above. Firmware revisions
below this (i.e. 2.3.x) only have Good Frame count, Bad Frame
count, Lost RSSI count and Lost Synch Count available. The
diagnostic controller will detect which firmware the radio has, and only
report the available counters.
Statistical Performance Counters Window
Selected Unit
When a unit is selected, the controller will confirm that the firmware
revision has been received. If not, it will attempt to poll the radio
automatically to retrieve the revision number.
RF Data Rate
Select from the pull down menu 4800, 9600 or 19200 bps, depending
on your system settings
Click the Log Counters OFF/ON button to log the counters every
time they are updated. These can be viewed on the “Counter Poll
History” Tab.
Notes:
•
The controller will attempt a series of polls when either resetting
or retrieving the counters. You should monitor the status
window to ensure that the poll process completes. If errors
occur, they may be due to conditions like packet collisions on a
busy network, diagnostic controller trying to perform too many
poll functions (i.e. group polling, individual polling), etc.
•
E Series data radios have 32 bit counters and will count for 1
year, 4 months & 10 days if not reset occurs.
•
If an HSC Base is selected, data will only be collected from
that base, whether offline or online. With D Series pairs, data
can only be collected from the online unit.
Indicative Packet Error Test Tab with Commissioning Record
This Tab provides a simple link test facility. When this is running,
continuous Poll/Response diagnostic messages will be transmitted to
and from the unit and Packet Error Rate results recorded. If a
response is not received within the Poll Response Timeout period,
then an error (last Packet) is recorded. If the system is live, collisions
are likely and may effect Error results.
Print Commissioning Record
From the “Indicative Packet Error test” a commissioning sheet can be
printed to file (e.g. using Adobe PDF Writer or similar), or printed
directly.
After running the test for the desired time (best results with no user
data), the test can be stopped with the “Finish” button.

Change Over Events
This is a counter which indicates the number of automatic change over
events initiated by the HSC due to alarm conditions.
Alarm Status
The current alarm status (since the last alarm status poll) for the
attached Base units is displayed below.
On entering the screen shown in above, an attempt will be made to
communicate with both bases, in order to determine the status of the
HSC. If the attempt is successful with either of the bases (only one
base needs to respond), then the diagnostic controller determines
which base is connected to the HSC “Base 1” port and which to the
“Base 2” port. When entered in the database, Base 1 and Base 2 will
initially appear on this screen in alphanumeric order.

Networking
Networking - Setting
Monitoring the radio network from other workstations on a LAN
network is made easy with the networking facilities provided by the
Diagnostics Controller. The radio network controller can be configured
as either a Server or Client. The Server will send poll information to
each attached client, depending on their access rights.
The Server should be configured properly first before any connection
attempts are made by clients. It will always be safer to stop any
polling that may be in progress when making changes to the Server
client set up.
Local Host Settings Tab
It is assumed that the workstation is running Windows, and has been
configured with the TCP/IP network protocol.
Client groups can be set up. Each Client can be assigned to one
client group. Each radio modem can be assigned to one or more
Client groups.
A default Client group called “ALL” is automatically set up containing
all radio units in the database.
Client Groups Example:
All
Pumps
Test
Test Unit 1
Pump 1
Test Unit 1
Test Unit 2
Pump 2

•
Open or create a radio database.
•
Under the Networking menu bar select “Settings” from the
menu bar.
•
In the Networking window click the “Local Host Settings”
button.
•
The Local Host settings will appear, which contains the Server
Host Name, IP address, Local Port and Password.
•
The Local Port is the socket number. Select an unused socket
number. Usually a number between 1000 and 2000 would be
safe.
•
Enter a password. This is required when in client mode, to
access incoming data from the server.
•
Apply Change.
Creating Client Database- File/Paths Tab
When in Server mode the Diagnostic controller uses an additional
database file (.mdb) to store Client information. This file is linked to the
main radio Database file. The link is managed by the Microsoft Jet
database engine. This separate linked file configuration permits
archiving of the main radio database (.mdb) without losing client
configuration data.
Pump 2
Pump 3
In the above example, there are three client groups, ALL (the default),
Pumps, and Test. A Radio modem can be a member of more than
one group.
Client Examples:
Central
This is the Diagnostic Server which is attached
to the radio network.
Test Client
This is a Diags controller in client mode.
Pump Monitor
This is a Diags controller in client mode.
In this example, the Central workstation, running Diagnostics in
Server mode, is polling all the radios in the network and distributing the
received messages to the attached clients.
The Test Client and Pump Monitor are receiving Status poll and alarm
information from the Central server. The Test Client will only receive
poll information for radios found in the “Test Client Group” i.e. Test
Units 1, 2 and 3. The Pump Monitor will only receive poll information
for radios found in the “Pumps Client Group” i.e. Pumps 1, 2 and 3.

Interpreting Poll Results
Temperature
General
The results returned by the poll requests give an indication of system
performance. When a new modem is added to the database, default
values are assigned for the limits of the returned results. The user can
assign different values to these limits as required, which is determined
by the fault tolerance level of their systems.
RSSI
The default RSSI limits are set at -30 to -105 dBm (-110 dBm for
Base/Repeater Station). Above -30 dBm the front end of the receiver
will saturate and it is unlikely that signal levels much higher than this
will ever be reported. Below -105/-110 dBm the error rate may
become too high for some applications. In the modem the RSSI
measurement is made periodically each 100mS, while R F carrier is
being detected.
Transmitter power
The 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 a
factor of 2 for power measurements).
The 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. At
65°C the modem goes into a high temperature foldback mode, when
the power is reduced to the low power mode. This is to reduce the
risk of damage to the final stage of the transmitter at excessive
temperatures.
The modem will operate outside this temperature range but it is not
recommended.
Supply Voltage
The modem is specified to operate over a DC supply range of 11V to
16V. The default levels are set to 11.5V to 15.5V. The modem will not
operate correctly outside these bounds and damage may occur with
high voltage levels being applied.
Frequency
The frequency limits are set to ±3000Hz. This is basically the
difference between the different ends of a data link. If the difference
gets much greater than this, data errors may occur (the modem will
have a degree of long term frequency drift of 1ppm / annum due to the
physical properties of internal components).
The effect of a change in transmittal power can be transposed to the
receiver BER curves (3dB down at the transmitter is 3dB down at the
receiver). The amount of variation tolerated will be determined by the
RF path loss of the data link being used.
If the modem is set to low power, then the transmittal power will be
nominally 200mW. Suggested limits for this would be 100mW and
400mW (±3dB).
For base station units or remote units set to high power, the nominal
transmitter power is 5 watts. Suggested limits on these would be 2.5
watts to 10 watts (±3dB).
In the modem the reported transmit power measurement is given from
a measurement made of the last transmission made by the modems.
When the PTT is ON a periodic measurement is made of the transmit
power. The modem stores this away and reports it when requested.

Open Database Connectivity
(ODBC)
Open Database Connectivity is a programming interface that enables
programs to access data in database management systems that use
Structured Query Language (SQL) as a data access standard. The
Tview+ database system adheres to this standard.
Add Data Source Name (DSN)
Click on the ‘Add...’ button, to Add a Data Source Name (DSN) and
the associated Microsoft Access Driver.
The ‘Create New Data Source’ driver selection box appears.
Tview+ uses the Microsoft Jet Database Engine, which is a Database

and system databases. The Microsoft Jet database engine can be
thought of as a data manager component with which other data access
systems, such as Microsoft Access, Visual Basic and Tview+, are
built.
The .mdb file created by Tview+ for logging data is a Microsoft

Using Data Sources (ODBC)
Select the Microsoft Access Driver (*.mdb) then click Finish.
The ODBC Microsoft Access Setup window appears:
You can use Data Sources ODBC to access data from Tview+’s
database management system. To do this you must add software
components called drivers to your system. Data Sources ODBC
helps you add and configure these drivers. Tview+ requires the
Microsoft Access Driver (.mdb).
In the Windows 98 and NT operating systems, Data Sources can be
accessed via the Control Panel. Choose the ODBC Data Source
(32bit) icon.
In the Win2000 and XP operating systems Data Sources is accessed
via Administrative Tools. Choose the Data Sources (ODBC) icon.
The ODBC Data Source Administrator window will appear:
Enter a Data Source Name (DSN):
For example, enter Trio DataCom.

Microsoft Excel Database Query
Example
This query will list status data (i.e. Temperature, Volts, Rx Signal
Strength, Rx Frequency Error, Tx Forward Power, and Tx Reverse
Power) for a specified serial number occurring between specified date
ranges.
Two database queries will be required. The first; to retrieve one record
from the RadioTable containing the radio name and location for the
specified serial number. The second; to retrieve a range of records
from the StatusPoll table for the specified serial number, between and
including the specified dates.
Click OK to accept the settings.
The ODBC Data Source Administrator window will re-appear as
follows:
1.
Open a new workbook in Excel.
2.
In cell A1 enter the following text: “Serial Number”
3.
In cell A2 enter a serial number that exists in the database:
e.g. 20061
4.
In cell A4 enter the text: “Start Date:”
5.
In cell A5 enter the text: “End Date:”
6.
Highlight cell B4 and B5 and set the number format to: “ddmm-yy hh:mm:ss”
7.
In cell B4 enter a suitable start date, e.g. 23-04-03 14:57:00
8.
In cell B5 enter a suitable end date, e.g. 23-04-03 15:00:00
The date range fields are intended to limit the query result to a
manageable number of rows. In this case the query result
will contain records between and including the dates 23-04-03
14:57:00 to 23-04-03 15:00:00.
9.
From the Data Menu, select ‘Import External Data —> New
Database Query..’

The ODBC driver setup for Tview+ is now complete.
The next step is then to configure you application to connect to the
Tview+ database via this DSN. As this process may vary from
application to application you should follow the instructions provided for
your application.
To construct SQL statements to access Tview+ data, you need the
Tview+ database structure.
The database structure is provided in Appendix D.
Note: If you are using Microsoft applications such as Access and
Excel you can access the data directly without the need to use
ODBC.

Appendix B - Slip Protocol
The SLIP protocol, is a data transport protocol, originated and used
extensively in UNIX™ based systems, and thus also closely
associated with TCP/IP networked systems. Although not truly a
“standard” it is so widely used that it has become the defacto standard
for serial interface in UNIX™ and many other networked systems.
SLIP is a method of framing messages containing binary data, on
asynchronous channels. The asynchronous serial channel is
configured for eight bit character size, no parity, and one stop.
A specific binary code called FEND (Frame End, hexadecimal
value=C0) is reserved to define a frame boundary. Should this same
code occur in the data message to be transferred across the channel
controlled under SLIP, then an escape sequence is used so that the
message byte will not be confused for a FEND. This escape
sequence, involves replacing the message hexadecimal C0 code
with 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 character
ever appears in the user data, it is replaced with the two character
sequence FESC, TFESC (Transposed FESC). The TFESC is the
binary code hexadecimal DD. The following table clarifies this.
Abbreviation
Description
Hex.Value
FEND
Frame end
C0
FESC
Frame escape
DB
TFEND
Transposed frame end
DC
TFESC
Transposed frame escape
DD
As characters arrive at the SLIP receiver, they are appended to a
buffer containing the current frame. Receiving a FEND marks the end
of the frame, and consequently, succeeding bytes are considered part
of 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 FESC
or FEND code, appending it to the buffer, and resuming it’s normal
state. Receipt of any byte other than TFESC or TFEND while in
escaped mode, is an error. No translation occurs, and the SLIP
receiver leaves escaped mode. A TFESC or TFEND received while
not in escaped mode is treated as an ordinary character and stored
accordingly. Reception of consecutive FEND characters, causes no
action to be taken (i.e. is not interpreted as zero length frames).
An example of a typical SLIP frame is shown below. The message
consists of the string DA,C4,C0,C5,DB,20,BD,DC,DD. The SLIP
frame will be:DA,C4,,,C5,,,20,BD,DC,DD,
