2.2.1 AC ON/OFF

Located on the AC Distribution panel, are two circuit breakers. They are used to turn the AC

power to the unit off or on. The left one is the MAIN AC breaker, and switches both sides of the

240VAC power. The right breaker is the 125VAC circuit breaker, and switches the 125VAC

outlets on the front and rear of the AC Distribution Panel.

CAUTION!

Sonik G2BT Base Transmitter User Manual

March 14, 2002 10 7M487C4

If there is an internal AC Uninterruptable Power Supply in the station, there still may be AC

power applied to some sub-systems when both of the circuit-breakers on the front of the unit are

turned off!

The control-equipment chassis has its own battery back-up and will continue to run, even after the

AC power is switched off with the front-panel circuit breakers. You must switch it off with the

On/OFF switch on the front of the CE Power Supply.

2.2.2 AMPLIFIER POWER-SUPPLY SWITCHES

Located on the front of each amplifier’s power supply, is a small AC power switch. There are 4

switches, one for each power supply. These switches turn the AC to each individual amplifier on

or off. In general, they should always be left in the ON position. All 4 amplifier power supplies

must be turned on before the station can transmit. Transmitting with less than 4 power supplies

turned on will cause an alarm, and the station may-not work properly.

4 ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS

All electrical wiring for the site must meet the requirements of the National Electrical Code

(NEC) and all applicable local codes. All conductors must be made of copper.

The G2BT paging Transmitter is supplied with a NEMA L14-30P plug. 240V/12-V is supplied

from a center-tapped transformer. The two 120V circuits are 180 degrees out of phase, therefore

240VAC is available betweent he phases. All equipment in the G2BT operates off 120VAC

other than the 4 high-current power supplies that provide power to the RF power amplifiers. The

high-current power supplies operate off the 240 VAC.

AC start-up in-rush current may be as much as 100amps, lasting less than 5mS. Typical AC

current draw of the station is 15 amps during transmission, and 3.5 amps during standby.

Sonik G2BT Base Transmitter User Manual

March 14, 2002 15 7M487C4

5 SITE PLANNING

Vytek recommends the following considerations when selecting a site to locate the transmitter at:

1. A minimum floor-space of 20 square feet to allow acess to the front and rear of the

cabinet.

2. Floor loading capable of supporting the weight of the cabinet and personel operating the

cabinet.

3. A minimum ceiling height of 7 feet.

4. A ceiling structure designed to support the cabls entering and exiting the G2BT, so that

the cable connections are not stressed.

5. The ambient temperature must be maintained between –30 and +60C.

6. The cabinet should be tied to earth-ground at the lug-provided internal to the cabinet.

7. The site must not have hazardous or combustable materials in it, either stored or spilled.

8. An HVAC system is highly recommended. Maitaining the ambient temperature in the

range of 0C to +40C, will increase the life of the product.

9. The G2BT emits approximately 10,000 BTUs of heat when it transmits, and this should

be taken into account when considering the amount of cooling necessary to maintain a

reasonable ambient temperature.

10. The ambient humidity must be less than 95%, non-condensing.

11. The site must be properly grounded. It is beyond the scope of this manual to explain the

proper techniques, but every site should have Ground-Rings installed around it, the tower

properly grounded, the cabinet grounded, and the cable-tray grounded.

Installation of this Equipment is to be performed only by qualified service personnel.

Sonik G2BT Base Transmitter User Manual

March 14, 2002 16 7M487C4

6 INSTALLATION

Safety and operation depends on proper grounding of the equipment. The main cabinet ground is

on the top of the cabinet, as shown in the following diagram. The main cabinet ground connects

to the cabinet rail, and each chassis installed in the cabinet has an independent ground.

Locate the site ground wire and connect it to the cabinet as follows:

Note: The site ground wire must be AWG #2 or larger, green-insulated solid copper wire.

1. Strip 3/8 of an inch of wire from the end of the ground wire.

2. Loosen the set-screw on the ground connetion to the transmitter and insert the stripped end of

the wire under it.

3. Leave approximately 1/16 of an inch of bare-wire exposed outside the grounding connection.

4. Tighten the set-screw to secure the ground wire to the ground of the transmitter.

5. Ensure that the other end of the ground wire is properly connected to the site ground system.

6.2.1 GPS

The GPS antenna connection is a type N connection on the top of the unit. Locate and connect

the GPS antenna cable to the GPS N connector, and tighten it securely.

CAUTION!

The transmitter supplies +5Vdc power to the antenna using the coax center pin. If you use a GPS

antenna with a DC short to ground, you must install a DC block in-line with the antenna coax

cable.

6.2.2 TRANSMITTER RF OUTPUT

This Transmitter is designed to operate with a fixed mounted outdoor antenna only. The

placement should be such that personnel are prevented from inadvertently being within six meters

of the antenna.

7.1.1 SATELLITE RECEIVER

If the frame-relay interface is installed on the unit, there is a line filer-box attached to the

top of the cabinet. The connection to the network is via screw-down terminals on this

filter box. You can determine the proper connections to the network by following the

wire colors on the transmitter side of the filter-box. The connections are as follows:

8 OPERATION

Upon applying power to the G2BT, the software will bootstrap itself before transmission or

calibration is possible.

To monitor the boot-up process, connect a computer running HyperTerminal (or any similar

terminal emulation program) to the front Console port of the G2BT. The serial port is

configured as a data communication equipment (DCE) interface, and thus can be directly

connected to most PC computer serial ports. A null-modem is not required.

The HyperTerminal settings are shown below. Note that you must select the type of

connection you want. HyperTerminal typically defaults to some brand of modem, so when

you set-up a new connection, be sure to select “direct connect” and choose the correct COM

port. You must also set the serial COM port parameters as listed in the following table:

8.2.1 BOOTLOADER

The bootloader code is the first software executed in the bootstrap process. Its function is to

initialize and verify basic hardware functionality, then load and pass execution on the application

software.

Loading the final application software can be circumvented for diagnostic purposes, however

under normal circumstances the bootloader should be allowed to run without any user

intervention.

The bootloader will write to the front panel serial console a message that approximates the

following:

K-

-S

All user configuration settings will have factory defaults set prior to shipment. However there

are several settings that are unique to each unit and must be configured in order for the

transmitter to function correctly in the field.

In order to change configuration settings, a “user session” must be created by logging into

the command line interface. To do this, connect a 9-pin DIN to the front panel RS232 port.

Using terminal emulation software (set at 9600 baud, 8 data bits, 1 stop bit, no parity), press

ENTER. At the login: prompt, type ADMIN, then press ENTER twice. An OK> prompt

should be seen.

9 SUBSYSTEMS

The G2BT Control Equipment Chassis houses the “brains” of the G2BT. All functionality is

supported by the modules in this Chassis, with the exception of high-power RF generation. Its

modular construction allows for easy field service. Most of the individual modules have

backward compatibility with existing SkyTel BTs. The Chassis itself is self-contained, making it

a superior low-power exciter for single carrier FLEX /Oasis systems. It may be used with the

G2BT amplifiers for multi-carrier, applications, or used with low-cost external class C amplifiers

for single-carrier sites.

There is a single Ethernet Network interface on the transmitter. The Ethernet is for connection to

other units on site, local computers, routers, RFA-II receivers or direct network communications

to the NOC.

Sonik G2BT Base Transmitter User Manual

March 14, 2002 34 7M487C4

The control chassis power supply has been designed by Mesa Power Systems. It has its own AC

power supply with provision battery-back-up for up to 15 minutes of operation. Internally, it uses

an off-the-shelf AC-DC switching power converter. A simple micro-controller monitors the AC

supply, battery voltage and current, and battery charging. It communicates this status information

to the CPU via the SPI bus.

The back-up battery powers the control chassis, and does not power the RF power amplifiers, so

no RF output will be produced when operating off of the internal back-up supply. The internal

network interface will continue to operate off of the back-up supply.

Sonik G2BT Base Transmitter User Manual

March 14, 2002 35 7M487C4

10 USER INTERFACES

The command line editor accumulates keystrokes from user input into a command line to be

passed to a command line interpreter (CLI) then displays the results of the command. The

editor interacts with the operator allowing characters in the command to be inserted and

deleted before it is submitted to the CLI. A history buffer is maintained for each operator

session containing the previous 20 commands that can be recalled, edited, and resubmitted to

the CLI using the arrow keys.

If current session is logged on as the system administrator or the administrator is not logged

on and the current session is with the front panel console port, the command line editor will

also output the system console messages in-between operator input.

The front panel serial port, or Console, is managed by a Telnet “translator” task. In its idle

state, the console manager outputs the console messages out the serial port. When an

operator strikes a key the console manager initiates an internal Telnet session and simply

passes characters between the serial port and the TCP/IP socket. This relieves the rest of the

operator interface code from having to support user I/O coming from multiple places and

requiring separate decisions and API calls for all input and output.

Once a user session is initiated on the console port the console messages are no longer

displayed by this task because the command line editor then assumes this responsibility until

the session is exited. Console message output will also be yielded while the system

administrator is currently logged on through Telnet.

The user interface is presented at the control module’s front panel serial port or when the

system is accessed remotely using the Telnet protocol.

The uses interface allows for reading and modifying configuration parameters as well as

launching calibration, test and reset processes.

There are four levels of access in the user interface:

11 SW DOWNLOAD PROCESS

There are three phases in the software download process:

1. Receive the software download file.

2. Write the software download file into Flash memory.

3. Cutover to the new version of downloaded software.

The software download file is transferred to the G2BT Station remotely through the LAN

using TFTP, or locally through the front panel serial port using Xmodem or Ymodem

protocols. When one of the methods has been activated but not yet completed, the other

method handling is disabled (any data received using that protocol is ignored).

• TFTP (Trivial File Transfer Protocol)

The transmitter functions as a TFTP client; in this mode, the software download file will

be “pulled” or downloaded by the station from a predefined server. The server IP address,

download date, time and file name is specified through the user interface or through SNMP

MIB sets.

During download, the system keeps information on the number of packets that have been

transferred with or without success and the number of packets that have been transferred with

success. There are also user specified values to control the timeout value from packet ack/err

sent and the next packet received, number of retries that the station will send packet err to the

server before aborting the session and interval from when the station receives a data packet to

when it sends a packet ack/err.

• Front Panel Serial Port

The software download file can be transferred locally using the serial port and specifying the

Xmodem or Ymodem protocols through the serial program (typically Hyperterminal or

ProComm).

The software download file always contains all binary images for the SCM software, the DSP

software and the FPGA configuration code.

Sonik G2BT Base Transmitter User Manual

March 14, 2002 38 7M487C4

The G2BT contains Flash memory to store two complete images of the software download

file (i.e. two complete images of each of the binary images for the SCM software, the DSP

software and the FPGA configuration code). One virtual Flash memory bank contains a copy

of the currently active software images, the other virtual Flash memory bank contains a copy

of a dormant set of binary images. The SCM controls this information by storing several

small arrays of software download status in the EEPROM.

The arrays in EEPROM contain the following information:

• FlashBank[active, dormant] = virtual bank 1 | virtual bank 2

The software download file is decoded, verified for platform and data integrity and then

written to the dormant virtual Flash memory bank. The Version[dormant][] array is updated

with the version values of the SCM, DSP and FPGA binary images as written in the software

download file.

The software binaries remain in the Flash memory as dormant until actively specified to be

cutover.

First the user specifies which version to cutover to through the user interface or through

SNMP MIB sets. The system verifies that these are valid versions. If valid, the SCM updates

the arrays in EEPROM to reflect the user specified versions. The actual cutover does not yet

occur.

Then the user activates the cutover process through the user interface or through SNMP MIB

sets. The activation can be NOW or TIMED (scheduled) depending on command parameters.

The system verifies that the specified cutover version(s) is different from the current active

version. This prevents unnecessary cutovers. If the cutover version(s) is different from the

active current version, the system disables paging, turns off all interrupts thereby halting all

network and front panel activity, and performs a warm CPU reset.

At reset, the boot loader loads the active SCM software into RAM and begins execution. The

SCM software sends the active FPGA configuration code to the FPGA and the active DSP

code to the DSP.

12 POWER CONTROL

The power control function is designed to control keying and dekeying of the RF transmitter,

monitor the functionality and integrity of the exciter, power amplifiers, and the PA power

supplies, and operate the control loop that maintains the RF power output at the desired level.

The station power control and power output equipment is periodically monitored to ensure a safe

shutdown or cutback to a lower output power. The monitoring rate is every 100 mS. The RF

amplifiers themselves will not output power into an open load for more than about 100mS.

The user interface variable pa installed should be set to the number of power amplifiers present.

If 4 are present, the desired output power may be set to 400W, if 1 is present, the output power

may not exceed 100W. If 4 are present, but 1 or more cannot be operated, the output power will

be automatically reduced as detailed in the power cutback and transmitter de-key section below.

The number of available PAs can be determined from the internal monitoring functions of the

PAs, which allow supply voltage, supply current, temperature, fan status, and power output be

measured. In the event of a problem, the gain of the PA can be reduced, or it can be shut down

entirely.

The exciter card is monitored to determine that the IF and RF synthesizer LOs are operating and

locked.

The integrity of the system output devices and cabling is determined by measuring forward and

reflected power at the 4 PA internal wattmeters and the system wattmeter.

The G2BT can be configured as either a high power station, transmitting a maximum of 400 watts

when fitted with 4 PAs, or as a low-power station transmitting a maximum of 100 watts when

configured with 1 PA. The desired power level may be selected by the user in the range 100W to

400W for the high power station, and 25W to 100W for the low power station. The station may

also cut back the output power as a response to fault conditions such as overheating.

Sonik G2BT Base Transmitter User Manual

March 14, 2002 40 7M487C4

The power reporting and control system take into account the number of carriers being

transmitted at any one time. The power setting and reporting value is the total station RF output

power, in watts. For example, if there are 4 carriers enabled, and the user sets the station power

to 400 watts, each carrier will be controlled to 100 watts. When the station is transmitting, it will

report 400 watts as being full power.

If the station is configured for 4 carriers, and the transmit data feed only tells the station to use

one of the carriers, the power output will be reported as 100 watts. If some or all of the

subcarriers dekey before the end of the frame, the power will be reported as if the carriers had

been transmitting for the entire frame. The power control algorithm takes into account the number

of carriers on the air at any instant, and normalizes that to the power output relative to the

maximum number of carriers that the station is configured to use. For example, if the station is

set up for 400W with 3 carriers enabled, each carrier will radiate 133W. The reported output

power when only 2 subchannels are active will be 267W.

Power cutback is carried out when an operational failure is detected by the configuration monitor

task. The system may cut back by 1dB or 3dB, or may de-key the transmitter. An alarm and error

log entry is generated for all cutback and de-key events.

The following events trigger cutbacks and de-keying of the transmitter:

Table 1, Power Cutback Conditions

If a cutback occurs due to a fault, the G2BT may revert to full power if the fault goes away for 60

seconds.

If a de-key occurs, the station will set the transmission paging mode user interface variable (tran

pa) to OFF, and the calibration test mode variable (cal t) to STOP, and will not allow

transmission even after cycling power until the paging mode variable is locally or remotely set to

ON, or the calibration test mode variable is locally or remotely set to START.

March 14, 2002 42 7M487C4

13 COMMAND LINE USER INTERFACE

The command line interface is a password-protected English language command interpreter. The

command structure is based on a hierarchy of parameter mnemonics that can be displayed or

modified and additional commands that can activate subprograms, which may display reports,

such as the “ping” command, or run interactively, such as the “menu” command. Subsets of

parameters can be displayed by entering partial commands and the output of such long reports is

then processed by a filter similar to the “more” utility on Unix system or the “/p” option on many

MS-DOS commands.

Wherever logical, the hierarchy and mnemonics of parameters mirror the SNMP MIB structure.

A command line editor maintains a history of the previous 20 commands entered which can be

recalled using the up and down arrow keys. Any single command line can be edited using the

right, left, backspace and delete keys or canceled using the escape key.

13.2.1 ALARM...

There are a number of alarm events which operate and can be configured independently. Each

alarm event alarmName is managed by the following sub-commands. See Section “Alarms and

Management” for alarm management and conditions.

Oper1 Alarm [alarmName] Enable [ YES | NO ]

Set or display whether this alarm is operational. This command can either enable or

disable individual alarms or, when combined with the ALL command mnemonic, can be

used to turn all alarms on or off with the single command ALARM ALL ENABLE NO

or ALARM ALL ENABLE YES.

Oper1 Alarm [alarmName] SEverity [ OFF | INFO | MINOR | MAJOR | CRITICAL ]

Set or display the alarm’s severity. When the alarm severity is set to OFF the alarm event

is disabled, regardless of the ALARM alarmName ENABLE setting. Generation of

SNMP trap messages is also controlled by the THRESHOLD TRAPLEVEL setting. Trap

messages will only be sent if the configured severity is greater than or equal to the

threshold level.

Oper1 Oper2 Alarm [alarmName] STATUs [ SET | CLEAR ]

Set or display the current status of the alarm. Using this command an alarm can be

cleared, or set, by the operator by setting this value but the normal functioning of an

alarm event will not occur. If an alarm is manually set or cleared by the operator the

system may, depending on the alarm, change its status. That is to say manually changing

the alarm’s status is not “permanent” and does not override the system’s manipulation of

the alarm.

Oper1 Alarm [alarmName] Manual [ SET | CLEAR ]

Manually set or clear an alarm. Setting or clearing and alarm using this command will

also trigger normal alarm functioning. That is to say, trap messages, console message, or

log entries will be generated, depending on the alarm’s configuration, when this

command is used.

Alarm [alarmName] STATS Set Timestamp

Display the timestamp of the last time this alarm event occurred as YYYY/MM/DD

HH:MM:SS.

Alarm [alarmName] STATS Set Count

14 ALARMS AND MANAGEMENT

The G2BT includes an SNMP agent allowing remote management and providing the primary

alarm notification mechanism to the NOC. Station configuration, status, and statistics can be

inspected using the SNMP protocol. Configuration parameters can also be set using SNMP.

Current alarm status and station statistics are presented through the SNMP MIB in table form.

Unsolicited alarm messages are delivered to the NOC through SNMP trap messages. Standard

MIB branches for system information, network interfaces, etc. and an ASN.1 MIB file will be

provided defining product specific configuration, statistics, and trap messages.

SNMP trap messages can be delivered to multiple management terminals. An overall SNMP trap

message severity threshold also allows the operator to configure the minimum severity level for

which trap messages will be delivered. This allows system operators to squelch the less

important messages during busy times without having to configure each alarm individually.

A Non-Volatile memory in the BT control module provides storage for XX hours of station

statistics and numerous log file entries.

14.1.1 ALARM PROCESSING

The G2BT processes alarms based on the parameters set for each given alarm. When an alarm

transition occurs, the status for the given alarm is updated to either a “set” (ACTIVE condition)

or a “clear” (non-ACTIVE condition). A “set” or “clear” counter for the given alarm is

incremented and an associated date/time stamp is saved for this instance.

These parameters can be found as shown below for each alarm under the status and stats

parameter:

Alarm [alarm_name] STATUs = CLEARED

Alarm [alarm_name] STATS Set Timestamp = 1999/07/02 12:29:12

Alarm [alarm_name] STATS Set Count = 20197

Alarm [alarm_name] STATS Clear Timestamp = 1999/07/02 13:10:16

Alarm [alarm_name] STATS Clear Count = 278163

These alarm parameters are updated at every alarm transition instance.

Sonik G2BT Base Transmitter User Manual

March 14, 2002 61 7M487C4

Several parameters for the given alarm will provide control information as to how the alarm

instance will be handled subsequence to the status and stats update. These parameters control the

overall alarm handling, display to the console session, the sending of alarm event trap messages

to a network manager and the logging of the given alarm instance.

An alarm must be “enabled” and have a severity level of Critical, Major, Minor or Informational

associated with the given alarm before any subsequent processing takes place. Therefore if the

given alarm is not “enabled” or has a severity level of “off” no further alarm processing will take

place. These parameters can be found in the following two examples:

Alarm [alarm_name] Enable = NO

Alarm [alarm_name] SEverity = MAJOR

NOTE: If the given alarm is not “ENABLED”, then no further processing of the alarm takes

place. The RFA II receiver will NOT log or give any indication of a problem. The only

indication will be through the alarm status of any problems.

If the alarm “enable” is yes and the associated severity is other than “off”, then the given alarm is

handled according to the alarm control parameters as shown in the example below:

Alarm [alarm_name] COnsole Enable = YES

Alarm [alarm_name] TrapMsg Enable = YES

Alarm [alarm_name] Log Set = YES

Alarm [alarm_name] Log Clear = YES

The given alarm is displayed on the console session if enable is “yes”. The date/time is recorded

for the instance and then may be displayed again on the console session depending on the console

interval parameter as shown in the example:

Alarm [alarm_name] COnsole Interval = 0

NOTE: An interval of zero means that the alarm instance will be displayed one time. If other

than zero, the alarm instance will be displayed after the number of seconds given in the interval

parameter,

Sonik G2BT Base Transmitter User Manual

March 14, 2002 62 7M487C4

The given alarm is sent to a network manager via a SNMP trap message if TrapMsg enable is

“yes” AND the given alarm severity level is greater than or equal to the “Thresholds trapLevel”

parameter. Provided the given alarm instance meets the above criteria, the date/time is recorded

for the instance and then may be sent again to the network manager depending on the TrapMsg

interval parameter as shown in the example:

Alarm [alarm_name] TrapMsg Interval = 60

The given alarm is logged for historical purposes if enable is “yes” for the “set” transition or the

“clear” transition instance. If logging is not enabled for a given transition, then the given alarm

transition instance will not be found in the log.

The overall station health depends on only the alarms that are enabled and have a severity level

that is other than “off”. The system health displays the highest severity of all ACTIVE alarms.

The alarm LED on the front panel will be controlled based on the the overall system health status.

By definition, CRITICAL alarms indicate that the transmitter is shutdown (all subchannels are

dekeyed). Therefore CRITICAL alarms cannot be disabled, nor can non-critical alarms be

configured as CRITICAL.
