C-5000 Operator’s Manual150-041102 REV. A Page 4 of 61IntroductionThe Wulfsberg C-5000 Communication Management Controller (CMC) is a microprocessor-based control headdevice that controls one or two Wulfsberg transceivers. The C-5000 supports the full line of WulfsbergFLITECOMM, FLEXCOMM I, and FLEXCOMM II transceivers. This manual is intended to quickly instruct theuser on the basic operations of the C-5000 and also outline the advanced operations that set the C-5000 apart fromany other communication device.FeaturesThe C-5000 provides a host of powerful features, including• Controls Wulfsberg RT-5000, RT-406F, RT-450, RT-138(F), RT-30, RT-9600(F) and RT-7200 transceivers.• 350 preset channels, programmable from the front panel or using Wulfsberg’s Remote Programmer software.• Users can dial in frequencies, PL tones, and transmit power on two “manual” channels.• Advanced multi-radio modes, such as Simulcast, Relay, Repeater, and Relay-Simulcast.• Control encryption functions embedded in the RT-5000 transceiver such as P25 Digital Modulation andencryption with Over the Air Rekey (OTAR) capability.Transceiver OverviewThe C-5000 provides support for the Wulfsberg FLITECOMM, FLEXCOMM I, and FLEXCOMM II transceivers.It is very important that users know how many radios and what type are connected to the C-5000 since transceivershave very different capabilities and features. Here is a summary of the supported transceivers and their capabilities.FLEXCOMM IIThis product line consists of the RT-5000 AM/FM transceivers covering the 29.7 to 960 MHz frequency range. Theoptional Guard Receiver can be specified as a single channel crystal guard (available in three frequency ranges), a29.7 – 960 MHz receiver capable of being programmed with two Guard channels, or a receiver with one or twomodules capable of RT-5000’s are equipped with CTCSS and DCS tones on both the Main and Guard Receivers.The MTM Guard variant of the RT-5000 adds support for P25 and Trunking channels, with encryption and over-the-air-rekey (OTAR) capability.FLEXCOM IThis product line currently consists of the RT-30, RT-138F, and RT-406F transceivers. The C-5000 also supportsthe RT-118, RT-138, and RT-450 transceivers, which are no longer manufactured but remain in wide use. The RT-30, RT-138F, and RT-406F FM transceivers cover the 29.7 to 49.99 MHz, 138.0 to 173.9975 MHz, and 406.0 to511.9975 MHz frequency ranges, respectively. These transceivers can be specified with a single-channel, crystal-controlled, Guard Receiver that operates on a customer-specified frequency. An optional Guard Receiver CTCSSdecoder with programmable Guard Receiver tone can also be specified.FLITECOMMThis product line is no longer manufactured, but remains in wide use. It consisted of the RT-7200, RT-9600, andRT-9600F transceivers. They were available with a two-channel, crystal-controlled, Guard Receiver that could beuser-specified for any Guard frequency between 138.000 and 173.9950 MHz (RT-7200) or between 150.000 and173.9975 MHz (RT-9600/9600F). They were equipped with CTCSS tones on both the Main and Guard Receivers.

C-5000 Operator’s Manual150-041102 REV. A Page 5 of 61Steps to Successful Setup and OperationWhile we would like to pull products out of the box and immediately start to use them, this system is one that takesa little work to get to that point. The following checklist will help installers and initial users setup the C-5000 andRT-5000.1. Connect C-5000 to the transceivers. Note part numbers of the Control head and all transceivers.C-5000 Part Number = 31300-1X02- ____________Radio #1 Model # = ___________________ Part Number = ______________________Radio #2 Model # = ___________________ Part Number = ______________________2. Configure the C-5000 using the steps outlined in the manual. You must know the last four digits of the C-5000part number and the last four digits of any RT-5000’s or the model type of any Flexcomm/FlitecommTransceiver.3. If Radio #1 is an RT-5000 that has a MTM Guard Receiver (-06XX or greater) connect a PC to the 9-pinprogramming port of the RT-5000 and run the Motorola RSS software.4. Put the C-5000 in RSS mode for radio #1 and select the first ITM to appear.5. Using the RSS software, read the codeplug out of the ITM.6. Modify system settings for your application. Program personalities. Assign zone/Channels. These stepsrequire significant knowledge of the Motorola software. We encourage enlisting the help of someone familiarwith Motorola RSS software to successfully program the ITM.NOTE: ZONE 1 CHANNEL 1 MUST BE ASSIGNED TO A PERSONALITY THAT HAS DIFFERENTRECEIVE AND TRANSMIT FREQUENCIES!!!!!7. Save the modified codeplug to disk and load it into the ITM.8. Make a listing of all ZONE/CHANNELS Information needed by the C-5000 preset channel programming.Zone ______ Channel ______RX Frequency = ______________________ RX Tone = __________TX Frequency = ______________________ TX Tone = __________Modulation = ______________(FM,P25,TRK)9. Do the above for the second ITM if there is one in Radio #110. Do the above for Radio #2 only if its an RT-5000 with an MTM Guard (-06XX or greater)11. Using the front panel or better yet the Wulfsberg RP software, program all preset channels including the onesprogrammed into each ITM module in the steps above.12. Using a communication analyzer or over the air test, verify that each radio and channel operates properly.

The Remote Programmer software offers several advantages over using the C-5000’s front panel.• Allows you to specify a C-5000’s configuration in less time.• Enhanced error checking reduces the likelihood of specifying an incorrect configuration.• A configuration can be specified once and loaded to multiple C-5000’s, saving huge amounts of data entry time.• Configurations can be saved, archived, and backed-up, reducing the likelihood of lost data.• Configurations can be sucked out of C-5000’s as well, saving data entry time on existing configurations.Refer to the Remote Programmer software’s user manual for details on how to specify C-5000 configurations in RP.Downloading a Configuration from RP into the C-5000The C-5000 continuously polls the data port on the front panel for incoming data, so all the user has to do is initiatethe download from RP. Refer to RP’s user manual for details on how to initiate a download. Once thecommunication channel is open, the C-5000’s display will change to the following.MEMORY TRANSFERRECEIVING BLOCK=000The 3-digit hexadecimal number to the right of the display on the lower line will increment from 000 to 1FFF whilethe download is in progress. When the download is complete, the C-5000 will automatically restart so it can pick upthe new configuration.

C-5000 Operator’s Manual150-041102 REV. A Page 42 of 61RSS SOFTWARE DESCRIPTION AND PROGRAMMINGBefore You BeginTo program the ITM inside the RT-5000 the user must use a DOS based PC (the slower the better!) and Motorola’sRSS software. Users must obtain their own copies of the Software as Wulfsberg cannot supply it. Theprogramming of the ITM requires three basic steps. First, enter the information that has to do with the setup of theway the RT-5000 communicates with the ITM. Second enter channel information, or what Motorola call“Personalities”, and finally assign the personalities to Zone and Channels. Doing all of this in NOT for the faint ofheart. In fact, it is best to enlist the help of an experienced RSS programmer.There are almost uncountable numbers of “system” options in Motorola products that make programming thissystem very tedious at best. If your agency uses Motorola XTS-3000 model handhelds, the simplest way to getstarted is to use an archive from a known properly programmed XTS-3000. Then make the necessary changes andthen program ITM.Alternatively, the ITM comes from the factory with all the necessary information loaded in it for basic operation.The user only needs to load system information such as USER ID’s etc., personalities, and zone/channel allocation.Once an archive for an ITM is established, it can be cloned to other ITM’s in other RT-5000’sThe RSS software only allows the programmer to see and change functions that are available with the hardware it istrying to program. As such, not all of the screens listed will be seen for every model of ITM.The following are descriptions of what may be found on each page of the software. At any time, you may press F1to access the online help screen for the page that you are currently viewing. Notice that all screens follow the sameformat – the upper left box describes where you are in the software, the upper right box gives brief help and errormessages, while the lower box describes what each “F” key does on that page:KEYBOARD INFO – This is accessed by pressing F1 then F2 from any page. Notice that the UP/DOWN arrowsare used to change a value or selection while the TAB and SHIFT-TAB keys are used to navigate around a menu.Main Menu OperationsMAIN MENU – This is the first screen that is shown when the software is started. Make sure that you execute theASTROP version and NOT the ASTROM (which is for Mobile-Vehicle Radios). From this page, all other sectionsof the software may be accessed.F3 GET/SAVE/PROGRAM/CLONE – Gateway to the submenu for Archive loading from Disk or from radio,Archive Saving to disk or to a radio, and cloning from one radio into another.F4 CHANGE/VIEW – Gateway to the submenus for viewing or changing the makeup of the Archive that iscurrently loaded into active memory.F5 PRINT – Gateway to the submenu that controls the Print function for the Archive that is currently loaded intoactive memory. Since this is a DOS based program, printing is best accomplished using an older Dot Matrix printer.F6 FILE MAINTENANCE – Gateway to the submenu that allows BASIC Archive file maintenance on disk.(Remember, this is a DOS based program!)F9 SETUP – Gateway to submenu for setting up the program. Includes such items as file locations and colors of thescreen.

C-5000 Operator’s Manual150-041102 REV.

The following actions areperformed here:F2 READ DATA – This is how you will draw the Archive information out of an existing ITM’s codeplug inside anRT-5000. There is NO need for the RIB (Radio Interface Box). The RIB technology has been designed into theRT-5000. All that is required is a DB9 female to DB9 Female Cable connected to the serial port of the PC and tothe Transceiver programming connector in the aircraft. To start the download, attach the cable, setup the C-5000for RSS programming (Described elsewhere), and press F2 on this menu. You will see a status bar as the softwarereads the data from the ITM Codeplug. REMEMBER, there is a separate codeplug inside each ITM inside each RT-5000! Once read, the data will reside in active memory and, if changed, must either be reloaded into the ITMcodeplug OR saved to an archive file on disk.F3 GET CODEPLUG DATA – This menu selection leads to the list of available Archive files on disk. It tries tolocate these files in the Directory (Old DOS term for FOLDER) where the RSS program was setup to locate theArchive files.F5 CLONE RADIO – This is the Gateway to the CLONE Radio feature that allows copying an Archive load that isresident in active memory into another ITM radio Codeplug.F7 SAVE CODEPLUG DATA – This leads to submenu that allows saving an Archive file to disk.F8 PROGRAM DATA – Like the F2 function, this is used to program an Archive from active memory into an ITMCodeplug. As with F2, the RIB is not required since the technology is built into the RT-5000 hardware. Simplyattach the DB-9 cable between the PC and the Aircraft Transceiver programming connector, setup the C-5000 forRSS programming (Described Elsewhere), and press the F8 button. A progress bar will appear indicating theprogress of the load.F9 RADIO PROGRAM HISTORY – Shows a submenu of the history of the current Archive that is resident inactive memory.ARCHIVE FILES – Displayed by pressing F3 !

Any entry showing on this screen is the factory default and may remain.CONVENTIONAL STATUS ALIAS LIST - Displayed by pressing F4 ! F6 ! F9 from the Main Menu. This isused to configure various short status messages to send via the radio. It is not supported in the Flexcommintegration. Any entry showing on this screen is the factory default and may remain.ZONE / TALKGROUP (CHANNEL) ASSIGNMENT – Displayed by pressing F4 ! F8 from the main menu.This menu is used to assign any of the possible 255 Personalities to a specific zone and channel. The radio modulehas the capability of 16 zones each containing 16 channels. While each personality MUST be assigned to at leastone zone/channel location, there is no requirement that all zone/channel locations be filled.NOTE: One VERY CRITICAL requirement for the proper integration of the ITM with the Wulfsbergsystem is that the personality assigned to Zone 1 Channel 1 MUST BE A REPEATER. Any repeaterpersonality will fulfill this requirement.“F” Keys are used to add additional zones (up to 16) and additional channels (up to 16) within each existing zone.Zones may be given an alpha-numeric name, though this is not required in the C-5000 integration. Additionally,each channel location within a zone may be given an alpha-numeric name. Although it has no functionality in theC-5000 integration, the channel locations within a zone should be labeled with the proper name of the frequenciesthat are loaded into the respective personality. This will aid greatly in viewing printouts of the codeplug data. If agiven zone has more than 8 channels assigned to it, use the page up or page down buttons to slew the display screento the opposing set of 8 channels within the zone. “F” Keys are also used to move between zones, although you mayalso place the cursor under the ZONE NUMBER entry and either use the up/down arrow keys or enter a specificzone number to view. All zone/channel entries will be CONV which stands for Conventional (as opposed toTrunking). The Personality Number is derived in the Conventional Personalities section of the RSS software (MainMenu – F4 ! F6 ! F3) A record must be kept during programming as to what frequency set (channel) is assignedto what zone/channel location.To add an additional zone, press F2 and then F3. This adds a new zone to the end of the existing zones. If it isdesired to insert a new zone between two existing zones, press F2 followed by F2. New zones may also be copiedfrom existing zones by entering the source zone number in the field that states DEFAULT DATA after pressing F2to add the zone. Zones may be deleted using the F5 key. As with zones, channels may be added to the end ofexisting channels, inserted between existing channels, and copied from existing channels.When adding new channels, first generate a new channel location using the F6 key. Then TAB to the CHANNELNAME and enter the proper name of the channel. Next, TAB twice to the PERSONALITY NUMBER field andenter the specific number of the personality where the channel frequency and related information have beenpreviously entered. Continue to enter new channels until all 16 channel locations in the current zone are full. As theactual display of the ITM is not used, personalities may be assigned to zones and channels sequentially beginningwith zone 1 - channel 1 on through zone 16 - channel 16.PRINT MENU – Displayed by pressing F5 from the Main Menu. This menu lists the various printouts that theRSS software can generate. The most simplistic printer available will be the best to use. If an old Dot Matrix isavailable, use that. Simply hook up a printer, and with an Archive resident in memory, press the applicable “F” keyshown below. The following printouts are possible:F3 – Lists the Radio wide buttons, switches, Display Options, Scan and Phone OptionsF4 – Related to Trunking – Not applicable to USCS Aviation.F6 – All Conventional type parameters, all personalities, MDC settings, and ASTRO settingsF8 – List of all Zones and ChannelsF9 – Data Summary – Probably the most useful printout, as it gives basic frequency settings of each personality.

F3 from the Main Menu. This screen allowsconfiguration of the RSS Software, and testing of the communications between the PC and the ITM. These settingsneed only be made one time after the software is initially installed and should not require further adjustment. LeaveMEMORY OPTIMIZATION = DISABLED. This is used on VERY old PCs. Adjust the COMM PORT setting forthe one you will use.where the interface cable will be attached to the PC leading to the RT-5000. This is typicallyCOM 1 on a laptop, but may be COM 2. When finished, press F8 to save the configuration to the PC Hard Disk.SCREEN COLORS – Displayed by pressing F9 ! F7 from the Main Menu. This screen allows the various menuentries and highlights on other screens to assume different colors. Simply move the highlight to the area that is to bechanged and use the up and down arrows to see what colors are available. As the different color combinations areselected, the screen immediately shows the results. When all the colors have been setup as desired, press the F8 keyto save the selections to the PC Hard Disk. The program will then use the selected color patterns until changed.

C-5000 Operator’s Manual150-041102 REV. A Page 56 of 61GlossaryAM – Acronym for “Amplitude Modulation”. In this type of modulation, the amplitude of the signal is varied inproportion to the voice or data input signal. The signal quality can be severely degraded because of lightningor man made electrical noise. AM is only used in the frequency ranges 108 to 152 MHz and 225 to 400MHz. All air traffic control functions use AM modulation.Audio Phase – The RT-5000 can invert the phase of the audio signal during transmit or receive. This is sometimesnecessary for DPL systems to work.Bandwidth – A term used to describe the amount of frequency a channel has to transmit a signal. Two of the mostcommon FM channel bandwidths are 12.5 kHz (Narrow) and 25 kHz (Standard). Some special signals, suchas military encryption, work best when using 35 kHz (Wide) or 70 kHz (Extra-wide) channels. All of thesebandwidths are available in the RT-5000.Channel – A group of radio characteristics, such as receive & transmit frequencies, modulation, power levels, etc.CMC – An acronym for Communication Management Controller. The C-5000 is a CMC.CTCSS – Acronym for “Continuous Coded Squelch System”.DCS – Acronym for “Digital Coded Squelch”DES – Acronym for “Digital Encryption Standard”. This is an algorithm by which signals are encrypted.Deviation – The amount of peak change the RF signal varies from the carrier in proportion to the amplitude of thevoice signal.DPL – Acronym for “Digital Private Line”. Also known as DCS.DTMF – Dual Tone Multiple Frequency. On a telephone keypad, each row and column have unique audio tonesthat are sent when a button is pushed. At the receiver, a decoder listens for a row tone and a column tone andcan determine from that, which button has been pushed.Direct – Also known as simplex, car-to-car, and talk-around. This mode of operation allows you to bypass therepeater and talk directly to another radio. Transmit and receive frequencies are the same.Encryption – Method by which a signal is “scrambled” so that other listeners cannot understand what is beingtransmitted.Encryption Key – When encrypting a transmission, the algorithm used to scramble the information requires boththe transmitting and receiving devices to have a number. This number is called an Encryption Key. Somesystems are limited to one key and others are capable of having multiple keys.Flexcomm I – First generation of Flexcomm control heads and transceivers. This includes the C-1000 control headand RT-30, RT-138(F), RT-450, RT-406F transceivers.Flexcomm II – Second generation of Flexcomm control heads and transceivers. This includes the C-5000 controlhead and RT-5000 multi-band transceiver.FM – Acronym for “Frequency Modulation”. In this type of modulation, the frequency of the signal is varied fromits center point in proportion to the amplitude of the voice or data signal. Most importantly, this type ofmodulation is not affected by lightning or other atmospheric noise.

C-5000 Operator’s Manual150-041102 REV. A Page 57 of 61Guard Receiver – Second receiver added to the transceiver to monitor a specific frequency. Some common“guard” frequencies are 121.5, 243, Marine channel 16, and Marine channel 70. However, this optionalfunction can also be used to monitor a dispatch channel, or an important tactical frequency. Some Guardreceivers have a single frequency that is set in hardware. Other options, available only in the RT-5000, are aprogrammable dual channel receiver and a multi-band P25/Trunking compatible unit.IF Injection – In a superhetrodyne receiver, high frequency signals are progressively lowered in frequency untilonly the audio is left. This is done by multiplying the RF Signal by a sinewave either above or below the RFcarrier. Mathematically this results in an “Intermediate Frequency” (IF) frequency that is the sum anddifference of the two signals. The RT-5000 has the capability of having either High (Above) or Low (Below)the signal frequency. What this means is if you have a signal interfering with the desired signal, sometimesthe interference can be eliminated by switching either the 2nd or 3rd injection setting.Interoperability – The ability for different radio systems to communicate with each other directly. For example,when one manufacturer’s radio products will communicate with another’s, they are said to be “Interoperable”.ITM – “Internal Transceiver Module”. This is the module that is physically placed in the Guard Receiver slot in theRT-5000. This is the part of the radio that can perform P25, encryption, and Motorola Trunking. Each ITM coversa specific frequency band – 138-174, 403-470, 450-520, and 800 MHz. Up to two ITM’s can be put into one RT-5000 however one must be below 400 MHz and one above 400 MHz.KEYMAT – Another name for encryption key.KVL – Acronym for Key Variable Loader. It is a Motorola product for loading encryption keys into an encryptioncapable radio.Main Receiver – Full function receiver located in every transceiver.Manual Channel – A special preset channel that allows the operator to manipulate channel information “on the fly”without going into programming mode. On the C-5000 this special channel is labeled “..M” and is located atchannel 0.MODE 1 – Operational mode of the C-5000/RT-5000 system where the operator does not know there is a main andguard located in the transceiver. This simplifies the user interface dramatically. However, only one receiver,the main or the ITM module in the Guard is in operation at one time so only one channel is monitored.MODE 2 – Operational mode of the C-5000/RT-5000 system where the main and guard receiver are bothmonitoring frequencies at the same time. The user interface is more complex in that the user must selectusing the silver “soft” buttons on the C-5000 which channel to display and transmit on.OTAR – Acronym for “Over The Air Re-key”. Method by which the Encryption Key is transmitted over the radiochannel, hence “over the air”.P25 – Digital Modulation Standard.Page – The contents of the display. Sometimes called a screen or view.PL – Acronym for “Private Line”. Also known as CTCSS or sub-audible tone.Preset Channel – A channel that has been programmed into the memory of a control head or transceiver.Private – Another name for encryption.Repeat – This mode of operation uses a ground or air based repeater to retransmit your signal to another radio.Transmit and receive frequencies are different.

C-5000 Operator’s Manual150-041102 REV. A Page 58 of 61RP - Acronym for “Remote Programmer”. Wulfsberg’s software to program the C-5000 with channel informationvia a connector of the front of the C-5000 is called the RP Software. It is recommended that this method isused whenever possible to program the C-5000 memory. While front panel programming is available foremergencies, using the RP software is less prone to operator errors and automatically provides for memorybackup in case on control head failure.RSS – Acronym for “Radio Service Software”. A PC application used for configuring, uploading, and downloadinginformation into the RT-5000’s Internal Transceiver Modules.RT System – Another way of saying Receiver/Transmitter System. Most often, the term refers to a singletransceiver. However, because the Flexcomm I transceivers can be ganged together and controlled as oneradio, it can refer to more than one transceiver. The C-5000 can control up to two RT systems.RX – Abbreviation for “Receive”Shadow Key – Special encryption key used to encrypt the keys received during the OTAR process.Squelch level – Signal level at which the radio will detect a strong enough signal has been detected by the radio andaudio is allowed to go to the user.Transceiver – A radio containing both a transmitter and a receiver, co-located in one box.Trunking – A term used to describe a communication system that automatically assigns an available channel to theoperator. This type of system can improve channel use to the point that more conversations are going on thanchannels available. There are many different Trunking systems available. Most are proprietary to eachmanufacturer. In other words, system built by different radio manufacturers will NOT communicate witheach other. Only the P25 Trunking standard guarantees interoperability.TX – Abbreviation for “Transmit”.Volume – Loudness of a voice signal.

C-5000 Operator’s Manual150-041102 REV. A Page 60 of 61Appendix B – Mode 2 OperationOverviewThe C-5000 has the capability to control the RT-5000 in such a way that the user can monitor both the main and theGuard (ITM) channel at the same time. This mode of operation is more difficult to use than MODE 1.The Home PageThe only visible difference in the HOME PAGE from Mode 1 operation is in the Main/Guard status fields. Theillustration below depicts the HOME PAGE for a system comprised of two digital RT-5000 radios. Both radios areconfigured to operate in Mode 2. The Main transceiver is the active transceiver on radio 1. The digital transceiver(Guard) is the active transceiver on radio 2. The active transceiver is the one that will transmit when the push-to-talk switch is depressed.11 123→→→→LUKEAFB TWR122 φφφφ..1 TACTICAL-001Main/Guard Status Fields – These fields display symbols indicating the current status of all the availabletransceivers in the system.

C-5000 Operator’s Manual150-041102 REV. A Page 61 of 61Setting the Active TransceiverYou can toggle the active transceiver for a radio between Main and Guard by pressing the soft keys. The UPPERSOFT key toggles the active transceiver for radio 1. The LOWER SOFT key toggles the active transceiver for radio2. The following sequence of illustrations demonstrates this process for radio 1.The Main transceiver is currently active.11 123→→→→LUKEAFB TWR122 φφφφ..1 TACTICAL-001Pressing the UPPER SOFT key makes the digital transceiver (Guard) active.11 .15 TACTICAL-01522 φφφφ..1 TACTICAL-001Pressing the UPPER SOFT key again makes the Main transceiver active.11 123→→→→LUKEAFB TWR122 φφφφ..1 TACTICAL-001Selecting Preset ChannelsSelecting preset channels in Mode 2 is conceptually the same as in Mode 1. If an MTM Guard receiver is active, theuser can only select preset channels programmed for an ITM, and the main transceiver will only allow you to selectchannels programmed for a main transceiver. A ramification of this is that you cannot select the manual channelwhile the Guard receiver is active.
