Control Interfaces\Control interfaces "Radio".doc

Operation Operation can be performed locally on the built-in front panel control unit or
remotely via the Ethernet LAN or RS-485 interfaces. Operational
parameters such as setting the frequency, changing the channel spacing or
activating presets can be controlled. In addition the current status
information and indications such as GO, ACTIVE, SQ can be received from
the receiver and displayed.
Maintenance Maintenance status parameters can be read out over USB, Ethernet LAN
or RS-485 interfaces, and the built-in front panel control unit. The receiver
delivers the result of the continuous built-in test (CBIT) and the event list,
which saves all events with the time information of occurrence.
Maintenance activities can be performed and controlled via the built-in front
panel control unit and remotely via Ethernet LAN or RS-485 interfaces.
The receiver provides commands for switching over from main to standby
(and vice versa). In addition the device can be reset or the real time clock
(RTC) can be initialized locally or remotely.
Performance values Performance values can be read out over the built-in front panel control unit
or over the Ethernet LAN or RS-485 interfaces. Parameters such as
temperatures, voltages, received signal strength (RSSI) and audio level can
be measured.
Configuration Configuration of the receiver can be performed with the Service and
Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200, which runs on a standard PC or laptop.
Connected via service PC, the radio provides easy and fast configuration of
the radio basic parameters such as IP address, power audio levels and
preset pages.
The configuration files can be saved and loaded to the receiver. The
configuration process is very convenient and allows you to quickly configure
an entire rack. In case of service, the defective radio can be cloned and
the parameters loaded to a replacement radio.
Preset loading Up to 200 preset pages can be loaded via USB, Ethernet LAN or RS-485
interfaces.

3.3.2 Meaning of Parameters


Default setting description\Default setting description "Radio".doc

RX Audio Level This parameter refers to the audio output of the AM receiver
(connector X10.2/3). With the default setting of 0 dBm, an effective level of
775 mV is applied at 60 % AM modulation of the current receive signal.
The output can be configured from 30 dBm to + 10 dBm in accordance
with the line infrastructure.

S/N Squelch The threshold value for the signal to noise (S/N) ratio can be set for the
Threshold squelch. If the squelch is activated, the RX audio output is muted until an
RF receive signal is applied. Receive signals with sufficient audio S/N ratio
are output at the receiver output.
The S/N threshold can be set in a range between 6 dB and 20 dB.

RSSI Squelch The RSSI threshold is based on the received signal level at the receivers
Threshold input. The RSSI threshold can be set in a range between 1 V and 50 V.

S/N RSSI Logical It is possible to combine the S/N-squelch and RSSI-squelch. By default
Operation both mechanism are OR conjunct. The squelch opens the audio path if
only one condition is fulfilled. In case of the AND conjunction both
thresholds must be exceeded in order to open the audio path.
Note: For offset reception it is recommended to configure the conjunction
type to OR.

RX Audio AGC The automatic gain control in the AM demodulator can be switched on and
off. It ensures that the already demodulated signal is compensated for. In
the range from 30 % to 90 % of the modulation depth, the signal
(RX Audio) remains constant.

ACARS Data Mode With this parameter the radio can be configured for voice (disabled) or
ACARS data operation (enabled) (2400 Bps).
The Voice setting is optimized for voice processing and squelch muting.
The ACARS is setting available for receiving ACARS data. In this case a
faster RF front-end control is in action. The attack and decay time is in
accordance with the ETSI EN 300676 standard.
If the radio is operating in ACARS data mode, only the 25 kHz spacing can
be used and the parameter RX Audio AGC must be deactivated.

Select Audio Interface This parameter is used to select the audio interface of the radio. It the
Analog Audio (0) is selected, the RX Audio Basic interface X10 is used. If
the E1 (1) is selected, the E1 Communication Data interface X13 (RX) is
used. For more information on E1 interface please refer to chapter 3.12
Audio Data via E1 Interface.

RX Input Sensitivity There are two settings for the sensitivity of the receiver:
The Low Distortion (LD) setting is recommended for strong noise signals at
the antenna input. It reduces sensitivity, and thus improves immunity.
The Low Noise (LN) setting increases the sensitivity, and thus improves
the reception of weak signals.

3.21 6145.5223.12.01
R&S EU 4200C Configuring with the R&S ZS 4200

Set/Get Values for 200 preset pages can be stored in the radio and called up. Each contains
Preset Page the frequency, offset (insignificant for RX module) and spacing parameters.
These parameters can be set for each preset page.

Installation Info Information (up to 20 characters) can be entered to describe the radio
more precisely.

Location Info Only the first 20 characters entered by using the R&S ZS 4200 appear on
the radio display.

IP Address An IP address must be assigned for each radio module, which allows each
module to be uniquely identified and operated in remote operating mode.
Additionally, specifying the netmask and the gateway makes it possible to
work within different subnets via a router.

ACL Here you can enter the IP addresses of the remote control systems or
(Access Control List) clients that are allowed to access the radio. This protects the radio against
unwanted/unknown accesses. If the list is blank (default), then any client
with any IP address can access to the radio.
Note: If the SNMP protocol is used, it is necessary to add the internal IP
address 127.0.0.1 or to leave the ACL empty.

RX RS-485 Logic An address between 1 and 9999 must be assigned to each radio module.
Address The module is addressed on the RS-485 bus under this logical address.

RS-485 Baud Rate The baud rate of the radio can be set. The baud rate set for the radio
(RS-485 interface) must match the baud rate of the remote control
computer.

BSS Enable The parameter is used to enable or disable the Best Signal Selection
functionality. For more information please refer to chapter 3.11 Best Signal
Selection.

Main/Standby Type The main/standby type declares if a radio should start up as an active main
radio or as an inactive standby radio. If the common AC- or
DC-supply of a main/standby installation is powered up, then the radio will
boot accordingly.
Note: The parameter Main/Standby Type is also used for the Best Signal
Selection if this functionality is enabled.

Line Interface in In local mode, the rear and front panel audio inputs operate in parallel
Local Mode (default). The rear panel audio line interface (including SQ contact and
audio output) can be disabled for the local mode. This allows independent
use of the radio for a service technician where unwanted SQ indication or
line output must be prevented.

Local Mode You can disable the LOC button on the radio to prevent the radio from
being switched from remote mode to local mode.

Local Mode Timeout Local mode will be quit automatically if there is no further
activity on the front-panel radio keys. Timeout can be set between 60 s and
900 s, or disabled.

Single Channel Fixed frequency cannot be changed. Frequency must be configured before
activating this function.

6145.5223.12.01 3.22
Configuring with the R&S ZS 4200 R&S EU 4200C

Motor Tuned Telsa It is possible to connect an external motor tuned Telsa filter to the radio. In
Filter order to activate RS-422 interface flow control, the configuration must be
enabled. The filter has to be connected to X11.
Note: The RS-485 interface will be deactivated when the external motor
tuned Telsa filter is used.
Note: Enabling the external motor tuned Telsa filter will limit the frequency
range of the radio to the frequency range of the filter.

Frequency Blocking Up to eight frequency blocking ranges can be defined. The device will
Ranges refuse any set frequency command done by the MMI local operation or via
remote control which is within these frequency blocking ranges.
The configured frequency blocking ranges have to fit the radio's frequency
range from 112 MHz to 155.991666 MHz.

SQ/RSSI Signaling SQ can be indicated by a tone with a specified frequency that is present
within AF signal. If the parameter is on, the tone is generated when SQ is
open. A part of AF signal near the SQ tone frequency is suppressed by a
notch filter. The frequency of the SQ tone is 2440 Hz.
An alternative setting is RSSI signaling. One of four tones within AF range
3 kHz to 3.4 kHz is generated depending on received signal strength. An
appropriate notch filter is used in order to suppress received AF signal in
the affected AF range.

SQ Signaling The frequency of the SQ tone is variable within a specified range.


Frequency

SQ/RSSI Signaling The level of the SQ tone generator is variable within specified range and is
Level related to nominal audio signal level set by RX Audio Level.

RSSI Output RSSI analog output can provide various linear curves depending on
received signal strength. Curve RS Standard is predefined, curve User
defined has variable parameters.

Enable SNMP The parameter is used to enable and disable the SNMP functionality of the
radio on the LAN interface.
If the parameter is set to "Disable", the SNMP functionality is disabled and
only GB2PP protocol is supported via LAN. If the parameter is set to
"Enable", only the SNMP protocol is supported.
Note: Parallel usage of the SNMP and GB2PP is not supported.
Note: For a proper use of the SNMP protocol, it is necessary to update the
access control list (ACL).

DC-Battery The voltage during battery operation can be monitored. If the voltage is too
Supervision low, two responses in the radio can be triggered.
The Warning setting generates the CBIT warning 401, which is output via
the connected remote system.
The NOGO setting sets the TEST_OC signal at the output
(connector X10.4) and initiates a switchover to the standby radio. This
setting is recommended if, for example, two separate DC networks are
used for the main and standby radios.

AC-Main The voltage during network operation can be monitored. If the voltage is
Supervision too low, two responses in the radio can be triggered:
The warning setting generates the CBIT warning 402, which is output via
the connected remote system.
The NOGO setting sets the TEST_OC signal at the output
(connector X10.4) and initiates a switchover to the standby radio. This
setting is recommended if, for example, two separate AC networks are
used for the main and standby radios.
Note: If the AC-Main fails, operation automatically switches to the standby
radio. Otherwise the DC battery of the main radio would be
unnecessarily discharged.

Local Mode Warning The radio can be configured in such a way that pressing the LOC button on
the radio generates the CBIT warning 415, which is output via the
connected remote system.

USB Connect Warning The radio can be configured in such a way that a USB access via a service
PC generates the CBIT warning 414, which is output via the connected
remote system.

PSU Fan Warning The rotation of the power supply fan is internally monitored and will cause
a warning if the fun is not running as expected.
The NOGO warning PSU fan 201 will be sent to the connected remote
control system if the power supply fan is not working well.
The warning can be configured as NOGO warning in order to request a
main/standby over switch via TEST_OC X10.4.

Main Fan Warning The rotation of the main fan is internally monitored and will cause a NOGO
warning if the fun is not running as expected.
The NOGO warning main fan 103 will be sent to the connected remote
control system if the main fan of the radio is not working well.
The warning can be configured as NOGO warning in order to request a
main/standby over switch via TEST_OC X10.4.

generates the CBIT Warning 101 which is output via the remote system
connected.

User Contact Warning The radio can be configured in such a way that a warning will be generated
if the user contact X11.15 is high. The USER CONTACT WARNING 430
will be sent to the remote control system.

E1 RAI Warning The transmission on the E1 interface is monitored. If errors are occurring
on the transmission system, they are indicated with an alarm indication
(RAI).
The NOGO warning E1 RAI (CBIT 0437) will be sent to the connected
remote control system if the remote alarm (RAI) is indicated.
The warning can be configured as NOGO warning in order to request a
main/standby switchover via the TEST_OC X10.4.

by pressing this key. If you press the key a second time, local mode will be
terminated, at which point a remote client must re-initiate the session to the
device (or to the modules).
Deactivation You can deactivate the LOC key from the service PC (USB configuration),
thus blocking local mode altogether (protection from improper use).
Key operation By using the service PC (USB), you can configure whether a local access
messages leads to a warning message or not. The local mode state would then be
reflected in the CBIT status. In addition, the start and end of the local mode
will be stored in the event log together with time information. If applicable,
this information will also be sent to the fault management system.

0. radio pair for the main/standby operation.
Main-Standby Operation\Main-standby operation "Radio".doc

1. Cross-connect the sum test outputs (TEST-OC) and *OFF (X10) inputs
of the two devices by using the cabling described in Fig. 3.56.
2. Use the R&S ZS 4200 to configure one of the two devices as Main
(A=0) and the other one as Standby (B=1) unit.
The R&S ZS 4200 has to be used also for the NOGO configuration.
3. The following settings have to be done in the local mode or via the
remote control system.
Both radios have to be set to "AUTO" via the remote control command
"MS_AC" or they could be configured to activation state "ON" in the
local mode (see Fig. 3.59).
After leaving the local mode, the device will automatically switch to the
"AUTO" mode and will be ready for the main/standby switchover (see
Fig. 3.60). In this case, input *OFF will be activated (X10.7).
Note: The parameter Main/Standby Type is also used for the Best Signal
Selection if this functionality is enabled.

Note: If one radio is in local mode while the other one is in remote mode,
then the local operated radio is active and the second one is inactive.
Constellation remains even when the local mode is left. The main/standby
switchover capability of the radio pair is now available in remote mode or
non-controlled mode.

3.6.3 Behavior at Remote Control

This chapter When the command "MS_GO" was sent via remote control, the radio
switches to ACTIVE state irrespective of the previous state. Refering to the
settings mentioned above, the radio which got this command becomes
active and the partner device (cross-connected via X10) becomes inactive.
The "MS_GO" command is ignored by the radio if at least one of its
modules is set to OFF state. A radio can be set to OFF or to AUTO state
using the "MS_AC" command. When the command "MS_AC" with the
parameter OFF was sent via remote control, the radio switches to
INACTIVE state irrespective of the previous state. The partner device
(cross-connected via X10) gets ACTIVE if it is in AUTO state.
There are different ways to switch between the radio states. Using the
remote control mode, it is possible to send the "MS_GO" or "MS_AC"
command to toggle the radio state. In the manual mode, it is possible to
press the "LOC" button to get the radio into the inactive state. After leaving
the local mode, the radio will keep this state.

Note: More details about the Main/Standby and remote control are
provided in the LAN or RS-485-GB2PP Interface Control Document
available on demand from Rohde & Schwarz (Order No. 6144.7497.01).

3.6.4 Behavior in Case of Device Errors

This chapter If an error or NOGO warning occurs on the "Main" radio, the "Standby" radio
will be activated via the TEST_OC line. The "Standby" device will
become active and switches the "Main" radio to inactive by serving the
cross-connected *OFF line. The device pair is now settled in a stable state.
Even if an error or NOGO warning disappears on the inactive "Main" radio,
the "Standby" radio will stay active. In the case that there will be an error on
the active "Standby" device, a switchover to the "Main" radio could be done.

3.8 In-Band Signaling


In-band Signaling\In-band Signaling "Radio".doc

3.8.1 Introduction/Overview

Introduction/ To reduce the number of lines, in particular for transmitting signals over
Overview long distances, the use of the bidirectional in-band technique via a 2-pair
AF/telephone line per radio unit (receiver, transmitter, or transceiver) is
recommended. AF carriers are modulated with control and signaling
information and inserted in-band without affecting the speech quality.
The R&S Series 4200 radios support a special audio in-band technique.
This in-band technique is used to enable radio functions via signalization on
the audio channel.
The radios of the R&S Series 4200 support the following in-band functions:
Signaling of SQ on receiver side
Audio in-band tones for RSSI signaling on receiver side

3.8.2 Support and Configuration of In-Band Signaling

Description To setup the in-band signaling functionality, it is necessary to configure


various parameters with the Service and Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200
via the USB (see also chapter 3.3 Configuring with the R&S ZS 4200).

Note: The operation of the Service and Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200 is
described in detail in the corresponding operating manual.

3.8.2.1 In-Band Signaling of SQ with Different Audio Tones

Description The radios support two different types of in-band signaling on the receiving
side. These are SQ and RSSI. If SQ is selected within the parameter
SQ/RSSI Signaling, the squelch can be signalled via the RX audio channel
with the tones of 1225 Hz, 2040 Hz, 2440 Hz, 2970 Hz or 3300 Hz. The
audio frequency has to be selected with the parameter SQ Signaling
Frequency.
In addition to the in-band signaling selection there has to be done a
configuration of the squelch tone level relating to the RX audio level. This is
done via the parameter SQ/RSSI Signaling Level.

6145.5223.12.01 3.70
In-Band Signaling R&S EU 4200C

3.8.2.2 Support of Audio In-Band Tones for RSSI Signaling

Description The radios support two different types of in-band signaling on the receiving
side. These are SQ and RSSI. If RSSI is selected within the parameter
SQ/RSSI Signaling, the RSSI in-band signaling via audio frequencies is
used.
RSSI Tones Depending on the signal quality, the radio transmits four different
Specification frequencies via the in-band audio channel (X10.2/X10.3) (see Fig. 3.64
RSSI signal quality).
RSSI Signaling In addition to the RSSI signaling selection, there has to be done a
Level configuration of the tone level relating to the audio level. This is done via
the parameter SQ/RSSI Signaling Level.

3390 Hz (good quality) RSSI > 30 uV


3300 Hz (middle quality) 6uV < RSSI < 30 uV
3210 Hz (bad quality) Threshold1 is exceeded and RSSI < 6 uV
3180 Hz (no signal) Threshold1 is not exceeded
Fig. 3.64 RSSI signal quality

Note: The RSSI signaling frequency is kept constant during one


transmission cycle.
Note: The value for Threshold1 has to be configured via the parameter
RSSI Squelch Threshold.

RSSI Output Configuration R&S EU 4200C

3.9 RSSI Output Configuration


RSSI Output Configuration\RSSI Output Configuration "Radio".doc

Description The R&S Series 4200 radios support a configurable analogue RSSI output
(X11.8). The output characteristic will be described in this chapter.
RSSI Output Pin The received signal strength (RSSI) can be indicated as an analogue
voltage via the RSSI output pin (X11.8) on the rear side of the radio.
RSSI Output Type
If the received signal strength (RSSI) is selected as in-band signaling type
via SQ/RSSI Signaling (see also chapter 3.8 In-Band Signaling), the RSSI
output pin characteristic can be configured with the parameter RSSI Output
in two different modes:
RS Standard type with a linear dependency of the receiving signal
strength predefined by the manufacturer (see Fig. 3.66 RSSI
output type RS Standard)
User defined type with variable user defined parameter settings to
adapt the radio behavior to customers needs (see Fig. 3.67
RSSI output type User defined)
Note: After configuration of the RSSI Output, the radio has to be rebooted.
This is done after leaving the interactive mode using the Service and
Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200.

RS Standard

Fig. 3.66 RSSI output type RS Standard

The RSSI output type RS Standard has a linear characteristic with the
slope of 38.5 mV/dB and offset of 4620 mV @ 0 dBm (see Fig. 3.66
RSSI output type RS Standard).

3.73 6145.5223.12.01
R&S EU 4200C RSSI Output Configuration

User defined

Fig. 3.67 RSSI output type User defined

The User defined configuration allows configuring the output characteristic


of the RSSI indication within the following parameters (see Fig. 3.66
RSSI output type RS Standard):
Offset of the output level (RSSI Output Curve Offset)
Slope of the output level (RSSI Output Curve Slope)
Minimum output level (RSSI Output Minimum Voltage)
Maximum output level (RSSI Output Maximum Voltage)

Note: The adjustment of the RSSI output curve parameters does not
require rebooting the radio. The parameters will be set directly after they are
changed using the Service and Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200.

Note: Changes done on the RSSI configuration via the Service and
Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200 will be valid only for the User defined
setting even if the RS Standard configuration is selected.

3.11.2 Switchover Criteria

The radio which first switches the squelch on delivers a signal to the audio
line. This can be controlled by configuring the radios as described in
chapter 3.11.1. After 200 ms, RSSI is sampled once and the radio with a
larger RSSI value switches its signal to the audio line for the rest of the
transmitted audio burst (see Fig. 3.71 Radio 1 - Larger signal, no switchover
and Fig. 3.72 Radio 2 - Larger signal, switchover).

Fig. 3.71 Radio 1 - Larger signal, no switchover

Radio 1 has a larger signal, no switchover of the audio signal.

Fig. 3.72 Radio 2 - Larger signal, switchover

Radio 2 has a larger signal, audio signal is switched from radio 1 to radio 2
after 200 ms.

The CBIT starts directly after switching on the receiver.
Warnings and/or error messages produced during ongoing operation
are displayed in the CBIT STATUS menu (see chapter 3.4.7.5).
When malfunctions (warning or error message) are detected, the failure
is signalled to the connected remote control unit.
CBIT always indicates the existing state, which means that as long as a
message is being indicated by CBIT, this problem persists.

information etc.
Chapter 3 describes how to put the radio into operation.

5.1 Scheduled Maintenance


Scheduled maintenance\Scheduled maintenance "Radio".doc

Inspecting Inspect the air intake on the front panel for dust build-up and clean it if
the air intake necessary. The inspection interval depends on the environmental conditions
under which the receiver is operated.
Note: Due to the long service life of the fan, no regular maintenance is
required here besides cleaning. The speed of the fan is monitored by
means of the continuous built-in test (CBIT), and a warning is promptly
generated (see chapter 4.2).
TCXO adjustment Due to the natural aging of the crystal oscillator (TCXO), it is advisable to
check the frequency offset after the first year of operation and readjust it if
necessary. We recommend a further adjustment interval of 3 years in order
to ensure the specified frequency accuracy.

Fig. 5.1 Test connection of TCXO adjustment

Test procedure
DUT is controlled via the R&S ZS 4200 (see chapter 3.3).
The minimum warm-up time is 1 minute for the TCXO.
Test frequency: 120 MHz (see chapter 3.4.7.2)
Mode: AM (see chapter 3.4.7.2)

5.1 6145.5223.12.01
R&S EU 4200C Cleaning

Measure the deviation of the intermediate frequency using a radio


communication service monitor, e.g. the R&S CMS 54, and adjust the
TCXO value using the Service & Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200 (see
chapter 3.3).
Connect the audio output signals X10.2 and X10.3 to the radio
comunication monitor.
Automatic test procedure on the R&S CMS radio communication
service monitor should be used in order to check the intermediate filter
bandwidth and deviation of the center frequency.
Note: The TCXO adjustment requires an R&S CMS 54 (Id. No.
0840.0009.04) with option CMS-B1 (Id. No. 0840.9406.02) or CMS-B2 (Id.
No. 1001.6809.02).
Nominal value
Deviation of intermediate frequency f 0.5 ppm (corresponds to
60 Hz at 120 MHz).

5.2 Cleaning
Danger of burns on the rear panel\Danger of burns on the rear panel "Name".doc

CAUTION
Wear goggles when working with compressed air in order to avoid injuries.

ATTENTION Direct compressed air first toward ground until no more condensed water is
contained in the air jet.
Keep a minimum distance of 20 cm between compressed air and receiver.

Preparation Such measures involve cleaning and touching up slight blemishes in the
varnish coat of the receiver. The following materials are required:
Soft brush
Duster
Cleaning compound, e.g. suds, household detergent

Cleaning 1. First clean the surfaces of the unit with compressed air.
0. 2. Continue cleaning with a soft brush or a duster.
3. Clean heavily contaminated surfaces, especially grease stains, with a
soft, lint-free cloth moistened with suds.
