This device must be operated as supplied by Xetawave LLC. Any changes or modifications made to the device without the express written approval of Xetwave LLC may void the user’s authority to operate the device. Caution: The model number XETA1 has a maximum transmitted output power of 1500mW in the 150 to 174 MHz bands. It is recommended that the transmit antenna be kept at least 42.2 cm away from nearby persons to satisfy FCC RF requirements. This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful energy and interference. If not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, the Xeta1 may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures: 1) Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna. 2) Increase the separation between the equipment and the receiver. 3) Connect the equipment to an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected. 4) Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help. Note: Whenever any Xetawave LLC module is placed inside an enclosure, a label must be placed on the outside of that enclosure which includes the module’s FCC ID. PRELIMINARY SUBJECT TO CHANGE WARNING These radio systems shall be installed by a RF/radio professional familiar with the applicable rules. Installation of all antennas shall be performed in a manner that will provide at least the MPE Distance from the direction of maximum radiation, to any physical space where humans may exist, and consistent with the settings in the applicable antenna installation compliance section. Introduction The Xeta Radio family is a small form-factor data radio designed for transmitting low to moderate speed data across distances of up to 100 miles. Thus, this radio family has a much longer range than Wi-Fi or other short distance radios, but at a lower data rate capacity. The radio also has several unique features including the ability to operate from 150 to 174 MHz. The radio has a guaranteed delivery licensed mode. In fact, since the radio is software defined, as changing environmental conditions can cause variations in performance, the radio will automatically adjust its operating parameters to maximize performance. Thus, if the signal quality degrades, instead of stopping all transmissions, the radio will PRELIMINARY SUBJECT TO CHANGE reduce data rates, change modulation methods, increase power levels, change frequencies, or enact other modifications to maintain the best data link possible given the conditions iaw the licensee’s allowed conditions. The design of the radio also includes a physically small size, low weight and very low power consumption while maintaining a robust design over extremes in environmental conditions. XETA1 The XETA1 is the 100MHz version of the Xeta family. The XETA1 includes standard modulation methods such as GMSK, 2-level FSK, 4-level FSK, 8-level FSK as well as 2-level, 4-level and 8-level PSK and 16-QAM. Because the Xeta series radios have a software defined modulation and detection system, additional modulation methods may be added in the field allowing the radio to benefit from future advances in the industry. The OEM board has two connectors: one MMCX for the RF signal and one 24-pin header for the user data interface and power. The user data interface connector includes the 7.5V power for the radio, one standard speed diagnostics/control serial interface of up to 921kbps, one high-speed data serial interface with hardware flow control and several user-definable digital signals. Note Master terminology indicates the control station or control point for a network. XETA1 Installation The XETA1 is a board level radio that is intended to be integrated into a customer package. As such the antenna placement must be done in a manner that is in compliance with all local regulations. All transceivers sold under the FCC ID PEJ-### must be installed professionally. This transceiver is only approved for use when installed in devices produced by Xetawave LLC or third party OEMs approved by Xetawave LLC. This transceiver must be installed in a NEMA enclosure. Antenna Installation Any antenna from a reputable manufacturer with desired bandwidth, gain/pattern coverage, and have an input surge impedance of approximately 50 ohms can be used with the Xeta1. Since professional installation is required, standard RF connectors are used. Adapters or custom coaxial cables may be required to connect the radio output connector to the desired antenna, provided the appropriate requirements are met.

The 500W ERP is the maximum allowed by the FCC. Other installations may require different settings depending upon licensing and terrain. The user and/or professional installer is responsible for making the correct calculation for ERP in other environments. Mechanical Interface: The XETA1 has four mounting holes located 0.100 inches from the outside edge of the board as seen below: 11 PRELIMINARY SUBJECT TO CHANGE The four mounting holes have a 0.093” diameter finished opening 0.100” from the edges designed for a #2-56 screw. The clearance height of the radio is 0.210” shield height, .103” PCB height, 0.070” back side height. (The connectors are on the side with the shield.) Heat Sink contact is on the opposite side of the connectors/shield at the lower left corner (back side as shown above). 12 PRELIMINARY SUBJECT TO CHANGE Electrical power/signal interface: Header assignment: 24-pin 2-row Samtec part MTMM-112-05-L-D-159 GPIO GPIO Sig GND Diag RX Data RTS Data RX Data TX Data DTR Power IN DNC DNC DNC :23 :21 :19 :17 :15 :13 :11 :9 :7 :5 :3 :1 24: 22: 20: 18: 16: 14: 12: 10: 8: 6: 4: 2: GPIO GPIO Baud Clk Diag TX Data CTS Data DCD RSSI (option) Power GND DNC GPIO_HS DNC DNC 23 21 … 24 22 RF Shield Header Pin Assignments Note: rows are reversed compared to standard nomenclature.

The radio is either manufactured for a high speed 3.3V interface or for a conventional speed RS-232 interface. In order to power the radio, 7.5V DC must be applied across pins 7 and 10. The lower voltage range is acceptable for lower output power operation. 14 PRELIMINARY SUBJECT TO CHANGE Communicating with the XETA1 using a serial terminal emulator Bits per Second (Baud): Data Bits: Parity: Stop Bits: Flow Control: 115200 None None The computer’s serial port must be configured by the user to match this configuration to communicate.

The radio is shipped from the factory configured at 115200 Baud. This value can be configured differently by the factory upon customer request. Thus, if the radio is new, the computer settings should be verified with a different serial port device. If the radio has had settings changed from the factory settings, then you may need to try different computer baud rates to find the match with the radio. This screen displays the current configuration of the radio and of importance is the third line with the Mode (Master/Repeater/Slave) of the radio and the mating radio on the other side of the link and the device addresses (numbered 8 and 1 in the example) of the two radios making the link. In this example, the radio is a Slave unit numbered 8 and will link with a master unit numbered 1. The “0” option will pause the radio RF operation and display the configuration settings menu as below. The “1” option will cause the values such as temperature and link state to refresh on screen. The “2” option will reset the Byte, Error and Packet counters to zero. The “3” option will turn on or off the automatic refreshing of variables currently displayed. Upon entering the “0” option the following screen is displayed. 18 PRELIMINARY SUBJECT TO CHANGE Main Configuration Menu Xetawave XETA1 rev 5, firmware 1.03.1039 Device address: 1 Mode: Slave 0 : 1 : 2 : 3 : 4 : Esc: Serial Port Configuration Menu RF and Hopping Menu Bit Rate and Modulation Type Menu Network Menu Utilities Menu Resume Radio Operation Enter selection: Serial Port Configuration If the data serial port needs to be modified, that may be done by option “0”. Serial Port Configuration Menu Data serial bit rate Data serial framing Data serial protocol Baud clock multiplier Diagnostic serial bit rate Esc: Return to previous menu 115200 bps 8N1 Raw 115200 bps Enter selection: Each radio has two serial ports for communication; one is a lower speed diagnostics port and the second is a high speed data port. The ports are configured at the time of order for either 3.5V or 5V operation at Xetawave and are not modifiable in the field. The ports are typically configured as 8 bits of data with no parity and 1 stop bit by default. The diagnostics port does not have hardware flow control while the data port does have hardware flow control. The diagnostics port should always be configured to the parameters as listed under the HyperTerminal subsection, but the configuration for the data serial port is editable through this menu. In order to communicate, the computer’s serial port needs to have the same configuration as listed by this menu where, in this example: Baud rate would be set to 115200. Data bits, parity, and stop bits are given by the three characters in the Data serial framing field. So in this case there are 8 data bits, no parity, and 1 stop bit. The flow control should always be set to hardware. Option “0” is selected to modify the baud rate. Option “1” is selected to modify the serial framing on the data port. 19 PRELIMINARY SUBJECT TO CHANGE Option “2” is used only with the Ethernet option and should be left as “Raw” for normal radio operation. The diagnostic serial Baud rate is shown for reference but is not adjustable. Option “3” is selected to modify the output clock that is synchronous to the data serial port. The output clock may be used to synchronize the user hardware to the radio clock for ease of serial port interface but is not required. The baud rate for the data port can be changed by selecting “0” and the various speeds will be displayed: Data Serial Bit Rate This parameter specifies the serial bit rate in bits/second for the data port. Current selection: 115200 bps 0 : 1 : 2 : 3 : 4 : 5 : 6 : 7 : 8 : 9 : a : Esc: 1200 2400 4800 9600 19200 38400 57600 115200 230400 460800 921600 Return bps bps bps bps bps bps bps bps bps bps bps to previous menu 1049479 1259375 1574219 2098958 3148438 Enter a bps bps bps bps bps bit rate Enter selection: Care must be taken when changing the baud rates since the computer must match the expected rate of the radio. When configuring the data serial framing, the following are examples of valid inputs: 7E1 8O2 5N1.5 8N1 The first character, representing data bits can be set from 5 – 8. The second character represents parity and can be set to N, O, or E for none, odd, or even. The last character represents stop bits and can be set to 1, 1.5, or 2. 20 PRELIMINARY SUBJECT TO CHANGE RF Configuration This menu allows for the selection of the frequency characteristics of the radio and can be accessed from the main configuration menu by selecting menu option “1”. Menu for 100 MHz band operation: RF Configuration Menu Bandwidth: 12500 Freq Range: 150000000 - 174000000 Exclude: 1 - 1 0 : 1 : 2 : 3 : 5 : 6 : 7 : Esc: RF band Hop pattern Hop frequency offset Exclude frequencies RF transmit power Maximum separation Print Hop Frequencies Return to previous menu Licensed band N/A N/A N/A 1500 mW 0 km N/A Enter selection: Option “5” is the desired RF power output. The power is dynamically adjusted to maintain this value as conditions change. If the load does not permit this power setting, then the power is automatically adjusted to its maximum value. Additionally, thermal monitors continuously measure the output amplifier of the radio and can reduce the power level if the temperature rises above a predefined set limit. Option “6” is the distance between the master unit and the farthest slave (or repeater) unit that is connected to the master. This sets the delays for receiving an ACK from a slave and generally slows the network down as the distance increases. The RF transmit power sets the power as measured at the connector. This value must be set by the user to be the within the allowed level based on regulatory limits with the appropriate antenna attached. Transmit Power This parameter specifies the desired transmit power in milliwatts. Current value = 500 mW Enter new value (0 - 1500) or Esc to exit: 21 PRELIMINARY SUBJECT TO CHANGE The final RF input is the maximum distance between master/slave radios. This distance determines the propagation delay so that a short distance will have less delay and a higher throughput. The higher that this parameter is, the lower the data speed but setting this parameter to a smaller value than the actual separation can result in higher error rates. Important: this parameter must be the same for all radios in a given network. Maximum Separation This parameter specifies the maximum distance in km between radios. Larger values result in lower throughput due to time allocated for propagation delay. Current value = 2 km Enter new value (0 - 200) or Esc to exit: 22 PRELIMINARY SUBJECT TO CHANGE Bit Rate and Modulation Configuration The various data rates may be chosen from the main menu by selecting option “2” from the main menu. Multiple rates may be selected so that the radio will attempt to operate at the highest data rate possible, but if the signal begins to drop too low, then the data rate will drop so that performance is improved. Alternatively, if only one rate is selected, then only that rate will be used and if the signal quality drops, the link between the radios may drop. Operating modes: Bit Rate and Modulation Type This selection determines the bit rate(s) and modulation type(s) to use. Enabling more than one option allows the radio to switch among the enabled modes depending on operating conditions. 16 12 18 27 36 45 kbps, kbps, kbps, kbps, kbps, kbps, kbps, 2GFSK 4GFSK QPSK1 QPSK2 8 PSK 16 QAM 32 QAM Esc: Return to previous menu Enter selection to enable or disable: 23 PRELIMINARY SUBJECT TO CHANGE The selection of data rate and modulation should be made with knowledge of the expected signal level. Below are typical sensitivity values for different operating modes. Sensitivity (10-4BER) Uncorrected (No ECC) -111dB @ 8.0 kbps (12.5kHz BW) 2-level GFSK -104dB @ 16.0 kbps (12.5kHz BW) 4-level GFSK -112dB @ 12.0 kbps (12.5kHz BW) QPSK 1 -118dB @ 18.0 kbps QPSK2 -102dB @ 27 kbps 8 PSK -98dB @ 36 kbps 16 QAM -92dB @ 45 kbps 32 QAM 24 PRELIMINARY SUBJECT TO CHANGE Network Configuration The Network Configuration defines the radio personality as Master, Slave, or Repeater. There must be one Master on a network. For a point-to-point network, there must be one slave with optional repeaters. On a point-to-multipoint network, there must be at least one slave. Network Configuration Menu 0 : 1 : 2 : 3 : 4 : 5 : 6 : 7 : Esc: Operating mode Network type Network address Upstream device address Downstream device address Maximum payload size, master Maximum payload size, slave Our device address Return to previous menu Master Point-to-point 012345678 256 1024 bytes 1024 bytes Enter selection: Option “0” sets the radio as either Master or Slave or Repeater. Option “1” sets the radio network as either a point-to-point, or point-to-multipoint. Option “2” is a unique identifier that all radios must share on this network. This unique number allows multiple radio networks to be in the same geographic area but not in communication with each other. Option “3” is the device address of the upstream radio – either the master if this device is a slave in a point-to-point network, or the unit closer to the master if in a pipeline or repeater configuration. If the unit is the master, then this value is not used. Option “4” is the device of the downstream radio. Thus, for a point-to-point configuration, the master/repeater will contain the address of the repeater/slave. If the unit is a slave or the network is configured as point to multipoint, then this value is not used. Options “5” and “6” set the payload size from the master and from the slave. The payload size may be balanced (the same for Master to Slave traffic as for Slave to Master traffic) or unbalanced. If there is more traffic from Master to Slave than from Slave to Master, then to improve throughput performance the Master payload should be set larger than the Slave payload. This value may need to be adjusted in the field based on performance criteria. 25 PRELIMINARY SUBJECT TO CHANGE Maximum Payload Size for Master The Maximum Payload Size for Master/Slave parameters specify the maximum number of payload bytes per transmitted packet, separately for the Master and Slave radios. For example, in an application requiring greater throughput from the master to the slave, set the master parameter to the maximum value (1024) and the slave parameter to a lower value (minimum 16). The time saved transmitting smaller packets in one direction will increase throughput in the other direction. For symmetric throughput, set both parameters to the maximum value. These parameters must be set the same for all radios in the network. Current value = 255 Enter new value (16 - 1024) or Esc to exit: Utilities The Firmware Update tool allows the end user to update the firmware in the radio using the Xmodem file transfer program. Please contact Xetawave for details. The Scan Network will attempt to contact any other radios on the same network ID and display their information. The master radio will identify all of the slave radios attached. Point-to-Point Network The point-to-point network consists of a minimum of two radios; a master and a slave, or multiple radios with repeaters inserted between the master and slave. Each radio must be configured for its role in the network. Each radio in the network must have the same network identifier but unique radio identifiers. The master radio has the radio identifier of “1” while the repeaters and slaves have other unique radio identifiers. Each radio has its upstream and/or down-stream radio identifier programmed during configuration. Typically, the radio is physically installed with an antenna and communications connector before software configuration. The communications connector interfaces with a PC running a terminal emulation services program such as HyperTerminal or TeraTerm. It is critical that the first time the radio and host computer communicate, the serial port connection is configured at 115,200 Baud. If this is not set correctly, then the radio will not communicate with the host. If the menu is displayed on the terminal window, then communication was successful and configuration may proceed. The minimal steps to configure a radio are: 1) Verify and/or configure the serial port speeds (both diagnostics and data ports) 2) Configure the radio for network operation: 26 PRELIMINARY SUBJECT TO CHANGE a. Master, Repeater, or Slave (one master per network) b. Network operation of “point-to-point” or “point-to-multipoint” c. Network address that is shared by all radios on the network d. Radio address of this radio (“1” if master) e. Address of radio upstream (closer to the Master) f. Address of radio downstream (farther from the Master) g. Set the data block size sent downstream and upstream 3) Set the RF data rate speed and modulation method 4) Set the transmit power 5) Set the distance between the radios for worst case propagation delay. LED Display The radio board has 4 LEDs mounted near the edge that indicate: power applied, transmit in progress, receive in progress, and a spare for special use. If the radio is mounted inside the Ethernet enclosure, then the radio LEDs are routed to the enclosure with the following details. On the right side of the radio enclosure are six LED’s. The three on the left display the status of the first radio and the three on the right display the status of the second. From top to bottom, each LED indicates the following: The first LED (top) turns red when the radio is powered on and will subsequently turn green once the radio has established a link. The second LED flashes red when the radio is transmitting data. 27 PRELIMINARY SUBJECT TO CHANGE
