receiver
Front panel The front panel control unit A8 with LCD and keyboard A9 make local
control unit control of the radio possible on a lab bench or for activities such as
installation and maintenance. You can audio-monitor to the demodulated
analog voice in the receiver module at any time by using the built-in
loudspeaker or headphone. You can control the volume by means of the
arrow keys on the front panel.
USB interface You can configure and make basic settings for the radio via the USB
interface on the front panel. In addition you can download software of all
firmware components via the USB. The main backplane A6 connects the
receiver module, MMI board A8, FAN and power supply. The USB board
A7 contains a USB hub for receivers and MMIs USB interface controller.
Power supply The main fan is controlled and monitored by the control unit A8. The radio
can be powered by AC and/or DC voltage. If the AC source fails, the radio
automatically switches to the DC source.
Display LEDs indicate the current operating state at all times. You can display the
operating settings, radio configuration, analog measurement values and
status in detail on an eight-row LCD.
Audio interface On the system side the 600 ohm audio interface RX Audio Basic X10 is
connected to the rear panel and the squelch state can be signalled here via
a contact. Remote control is performed as standard via the Ethernet LAN
interface Ethernet LAN Remote Control X9 or the RS-485 RX Audio
Extended X11 using the powerful R&S remote-control protocol GB2PP.
Main and For redundant system installations with 1:1 switchover, the main and
standby function standby radios are connected with each other via hardware contacts. This
allows a quick switchover without any delay in the event of a failure.
Extended DSUB The 15-contact extended DSUB interface RX Audio Extended X11
interface provides discrete digital control contacts as well as the analog output for
RSSI receive signal strength.
Receive antenna The receive antenna is connected to the BNC input "RX Input X8". The
receiver consists of the analog RF board A3 with its VCO/synthesizer and
600 ohm audio interfaces as well as the digital interface module A5 with
the main VCXO/clock processing unit, DSP, LAN and USB controller. The
received signal is mixed and converted to the first intermediate frequency
(IF). The remaining processing is performed digitally, where the various
channel spacings 8.33 kHz/25 kHz and modulation schemes AM and
ACARS are processed via the software.
Main TCXO The main TCXO on the A6 backplane board serves as the reference for the
radio and can be easily adjusted via the USB interface.

R&S EU 4200C Basis Cabling
Introduction In actual operation, the radio is usually operated via the rear panel system
interfaces, thus eliminating the need for front panel cabling. The radio is
preconfigured with the factory settings and can be operated without any
further configuration.
The front panel interfaces are needed during installation and maintenance.
The radio can be operated in the local mode via the headset. The USB
interface is used to set configuration parameters or to perform complete
software updates. Rohde & Schwarz supplies the Service and Maintenance
Tool R&S ZS 4200 for this purpose.

ATTENTION The receiver does not contain any parts the operator can repair. Only
properly qualified technicians are allowed to repair the radio. When
performing service procedures, follow the requirements of VDE 0701.
Function test LED SQ lights up if an RF receive signal is present at the set channel
of the receiver frequency on X8.
You can audio-monitor the AM-demodulated voice signal by using the
built-in loudspeaker. You can adjust the volume using the
horizontal arrow keys. The demodulated audio can also be heard in the
headphone instead of the loudspeaker at the same time and you can also
control its volume.
If no RF receive signal is present, you may hear a noise signal depending
on how the SQ switch (SQ button) is set. In the default state with the factory
settings, the SQ muting function is deactivated and the noise signal is
present at the output.
After you press the LOC key, you can toggle the SQ key.

3.2 Introduction
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.
Inventory All hardware and software components can be read out on all USB,
Ethernet LAN or RS-485 interfaces and are visible on the built-in display.
Software update The R&S DS 4200 software is delivered as a CD ROM and contains all
software components, which are automatically loaded to the radio modules
via the USB interface. The Service and Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200
provides a software download manager, crosschecks the hardware and
software and ensures a proper software download.

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.

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/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

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

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.

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).

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.

R&S EU 4200C In-Band Signaling
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
Note: The operation of the Service and Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200 is
described in detail in the corresponding operating manual.
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
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.

6145.5223.12.01 3.72
RSSI Output Configuration R&S EU 4200C
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
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
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.
6145.5223.12.01 3.74
ACARS Mode (External Modem) R&S EU 4200C
This chapter This chapter provides information about the configuration of ACARS mode.
ACARS mode 1. Use the Service and Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200 to configure the
activation radio in ACARS mode by setting the configuration parameter ACARS
data mode to Enable.
2. The following settings have to be done in the local mode or via the
remote control system.
The radio can be set to ACARS via the Mode setting in the operation
menu on the MMI or by using the set-mode remote control command. It is
also possible to select a preset page with enabled ACARS modulation
mode. Via the remote control, this is done with the set-preset-page
command.
Note: The loudspeaker and headphone will be switched on during ACARS
operation.

R&S EU 4200C Best Signal Selection
This chapter This chapter provides information about the cabling and configuration of the
pair for the best signal selection.
1. Cross connect the USER_OUT2 (X11.14) user outputs with the
/AF_INHIBIT (X11.7) inputs and also the RSSI (X11.8) outputs and the
EXT_RSSI (X11.5) inputs of the two radios using the cabling described
in Fig. 3.70 Best signal selection configuration.
2. Use the R&S ZS 4200 has to configure one of the two radios as the
Main (0) and the other one as the Standby (1). To enable the Best
signal selection, the BSS Enable parameter has to be set to Enable.
The R&S ZS 4200 has to be also used for the NOGO configuration. After
leaving the interactive mode, the device will be rebooted automatically and
the radio with the best signal will be used.
Note: The parameter Main/Standby Type is reused for the Best Signal
Selection.
6145.5223.12.01 3.76
Best Signal Selection R&S EU 4200C
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).
Radio 2 has a larger signal, audio signal is switched from radio 1 to radio 2
after 200 ms.

R&S EU 4200C Audio Data via E1 Interface
This chapter The radio is equipped with an E1 interface for digital transmission of audio
signals. In the split site configuration each device has to be connected to
the E1-cross-connect via the E1 interface (X13), (see Fig. 3.73 Split site
configuration using E1). For remote control it is required to have additional
LAN connection to the remote control system (see chapter 3.5.1 Radio
Control via LAN).
Description of the The E1 interface is implemented according ITU standards G.703, G.704,
E1 interface G.711 and G.732. The used frame structure is CAS multiframe. The PCM
coded audio signal (A-law) is transmitted in timeslot TS1.
Signaling is coded in bits a1, b1, c1, d1 of timeslot TS16 as follows:

This chapter This chapter provides information concerning visual inspection and
troubleshooting.
Further Chapter 3.1 contains an overview of receiver control elements, indicators,
information etc.
Chapter 3 describes how to put the radio into operation.
Cabling check 1. Check external cabling between the complete receiver and external
0. equipment.
2. Check all connectors for good contact and the cables at the rear for
mechanical damage.
If necessary, replace cables with new ones, one at a time, until the
defective connection has been found.
Note: Obvious damage of minor importance can be eliminated on the
spot, provided that the appropriate equipment is available. In case of
severe damage, the receiver must be sent to the nearest repair facility.

R&S EU 4200C Visual Inspection
Introduction The LEDs on the front panel of the radio display the status of various
settings and operating modes. If the LEDs AC, DC, GO or Vop are not
illuminated, there are a number of possible reasons.
6145.5223.12.01 4.2
Visual Inspection R&S EU 4200C
Displayed warnings For detection of device and system failures, continuous built-in test (CBIT)
and/or error functions are implemented in the equipment.
messages
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.

4.2 Troubleshooting
CBIT events The following table lists all possible CBIT events.
Note: In most cases of error, the receiver will need to be transferred to the
nearest service.
Description of Column Description
columns
Code Code is the unique number for this kind of event.
Message Message is the designation of this event.
Level Level is a ranking of this event (W = warning; E = error).
Warnings and errors will be logged into CBIT status list.
Errors and NOGO warnings additionally cause NOGO
(LED GO not illuminated, error code 0102).
Config Config states the configurability of each event:
W = event can be configured as warning,
N = event can be configured to cause NOGO.
Notes Notes describes the reasons and if necessary the
reaction of the radio when the event occurs.
Action Action describes what the user can do to eliminate the
cause of the event.

5 Maintenance
This chapter This chapter provides information concerning scheduled maintenance and
cleaning.
Further Chapter 3.1 contains an overview of receiver control elements, indicators,
information etc.
Chapter 3 describes how to put the radio into operation.
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.
