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.
The main fan is controlled and monitored by the control unit A8.
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 receiver’s and MMI’s USB interface controller.
Remote control Remote control is performed as standard via the Ethernet − LAN interface
“Ethernet − LAN Remote Control X9” using the powerful R&S remote-
control protocol GB2PP.
Power supply 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.
Note: Audio interface can also support digital audio interfaces of E1 and
VoIP.
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 received 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.

3.2.1 Control Interfaces


Control Interfaces\Control interfaces "Radio".doc

Operation Operation can be performed locally on the built-in front panel control unit or
remotely via the USB or Ethernet − LAN interface. 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 via the USB or
Ethernet − LAN 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 the USB or Ethernet − LAN interface.
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 interface. 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 the USB or Ethernet − LAN
interfaces.
Inventory All hardware and software components can be read out on all the USB or
Ethernet − LAN 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.

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 with a sufficient S/N ratio is applied.
The S/N threshold can be set in a range between 6 dB and 20 dB.
Note: The thresholds are defined for S/N. The corresponding value of
SINAD will be 2 dB higher (SINAD 12 dB value corresponds with S/N
10 dB value).

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

Carrier Override This parameter refers to opening the squelch in presence of a carrier which
is higher than –85 dBm, even if other squelch criteria like S+N/N of the
audio signal are not met.
Note: If the parameter is enabled and the input level is above –85 dBm,
the other squelch settings S/N Squelch Threshold, RSSI Squelch
Threshold and S/N RSSI Logical Operation are insignificant.

S/N RSSI Logical It is possible to combine the S/N-squelch and RSSI-squelch. By default
Operation both mechanisms 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”.
Note: If the "AND" conjunction type is selected, the squelch attack time
can be longer for levels above the RSSI Squelch Threshold than in "OR"
conjunction type. If the "OR" conjunction type is selected for input signals
below the RSSI Squelch Threshold, the attack time can be longer.

RX Audio AGC The automatic gain control in the AM demodulator can be switched on and
off. It ensures that the dependency of AF amplitude on modulation depth
signal is compensated. 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.

6174.8456.02-01 3.14
Configuring with the R&S ZS 4200 R&S EU4200C

Select Audio Interface This parameter is used to select the audio interface of the radio. If the
Analog Audio is selected, the RX Audio Basic interface X10 is used. If the
E1 is selected, the E1 – Communication Data interface X13 (RX) is used.
For more information on E1 interface please refer to chapter 3.12 Audio via
E1 Interface. If VoIP is selected, audio data will be transmitted via Ethernet
by the data interface X6 (RX) (see chapter 3.14).

RX Input Sensitivity There are two settings for the sensitivity of the receiver:
The Low Distortion (LD) setting is recommended for strong interference
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.

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.

Second IP Address The radio supports 2 IP addresses on the same physical LAN port
Enabled ("IP Aliasing"). This parameter enables or disables the use of the second
IP address.
If disabled, the radio serves all LAN connections on the primary interface
(parameter "IP Address").
If enabled, VoIP services (SIP/RTP) are only accessible via the primary IP
address (parameter "IP Address"), while all other service types (e.g.
GB2PP, SNMP) can be accessed via the second IP interface (parameter
"Second IP Address").

Second IP Address This parameter configures the Second IP address in IPv4 or IPv6 mode if
the functionality "Second IP Address Enabled" has been enabled.

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.

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.

3.15 6174.8456.02-01
R&S EU4200C Configuring with the R&S ZS 4200

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 interfaces as well as the VoIP
Local Mode and E1 data streams operate in parallel (default). The rear panel audio line
interface (including SQ contact and audio output) as well as the VoIP and
E1 data streams 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.

Motor Tuned Filter It is possible to connect an external automatic filter to the radio. Either a
Telsa, an R&S or a third-party filter can be used. In order to activate the
RS-422 interface, the configuration parameter has to be enabled by
selecting the proper protocol type. The filter has to be connected to X11.
Note: The X-cross adapter KG42-Z75 is required for operation with the
R&S filter Fx22x.
Note: Enabling the external automatic filter will limit the frequency range of
the radio to 118 MHz … 155.9916 MHz.

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 The radio allows to signal the SQ status, RSSI (see chapter 3.8 InBand
Signaling), and occurrence of STD events (see chapter 3.15 Simultaneous
Transmission Detection (STD)) via in-band tones on demodulated audio
irrespective of the used voice mode (Analog, E1, VoIP). A small range
around the configured in-band tone frequency is suppressed by a notch
filter.

SQ Signaling The frequency of the in-band tone for SQ, RSSI, and INVSQ signaling is
Frequency variable within a specified range.
Note: We recommend using a different in-band tone for SQ and STD. Only
in this case the VCS can separate the 2 events.

STD Inband Signaling The frequency of the in-band tone for STD signaling is variable within a
Frequency specified range.
Note: We recommend using a different in-band tone for SQ and STD. Only
in this case the VCS can separate the 2 events.

6174.8456.02-01 3.16
Configuring with the R&S ZS 4200 R&S EU4200C

SQ/RSSI Signaling The level of the in-band tone generator is variable within specified range
Level and is related to nominal audio signal level set by “RX Audio Level”.
Note: In case of low absolute levels, the S/N ratio in the system must be
taken into account. Make sure that the S/N ratio does not fall below a
specific value. The applicable value in each case is calculated from the
audio level minus the signaling level for the receiver. If the setting with 0 dB
in-band signaling is selected, the headroom for the sum level is reduced by
6 dB.

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

RSSI Output Curve RSSI analog output: Curve ”User defined” has the slope configurable.

RSSI Output Curve RSSI analog output: Curve ”User defined” has the minimum output voltage
Min. Voltage limit configurable.

RSSI Output Curve RSSI analog output: Curve ”User defined” has the maximum output voltage
Max. Voltage limit configurable.

TCXO Adjustment The parameter is used to adjust the accuracy of the crystal oscillator
(TCXO). Due to the natural aging of the crystal oscillator (TCXO), it is
advisable to check the frequency accuracy in a regular way and readjust
the parameter if required (see 5.1.

SNMP Community Name of the SNMP communication community. It is used to restrict the
String network access.

SNMP Enable 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", both GB2PP and SNMP protocols are supported.
Note: It is strongly recommended to disable the SNMP protocol if only the
GB2PP protocol is used.

E1 Alarm for Inactive The parameter is used to enable/disable the transfer of the inactive
Warning warning via the E1 interface.

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 0401, 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 0402, 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.

VoIP radio URI RX This is the unified identifier for VoIP communication of the RX module. This
identifier consists of two parts concluded with the “@” sign
user@<IP Address> or user@<Full Qualified Domain Name> eg.
user@muenchen.rohde-schwarz.de.
The URI can be up to 64 characters. Characters and other naming
conventions have to follow the RFC 3986 rules. Using the reserved
characters makes the URI invalid and thus the VoIP operation is not
possible.
The default value of URI RX module is rx@192.168.52.101.

Emergency VoIP URI The VoIP mode of the radio offers the possibility to configure the access for
ACL VoIP connections. Each entry contained in the URI ACL grants access to
establish VoIP connections to the radio. In default configuration the URI
ACL is a whitelist. This means that accessing the radio via VoIP is not
restricted. The URI ACL can contain up to 20 entries with a maximum of 64
characters per entry.
Emergency VoIP URI ACL stores URI of the VoIP clients which are allowed
to access the radio with either normal or emergency call priority.

Normal VoIP URI ACL Compared to Emergency VoIP URI ACL the Normal VoIP URI ACL stores
URI of the VoIP clients which are allowed to access the radio with normal
call priority.

Permit Only ACL URI This configuration parameter enables or disables acceptance of the VoIP
Call session requests which only have URIs matching the VoIP URI ACL lists.

Primary Domain Name This parameter is used to setup an IP address of a Domain Name Server.
Server

Secondary Domain This parameter is used to setup an IP address of a Domain Name Server
Name Server which is used for backup purposes.

RTP Port Range Start The real time transport protocol uses several IP ports for communication
with VCS or the R&S GB4000V. This parameter sets the start port for the
port range which can be used for VoIP audio streams.

DSCP Value The radio supports Differentiated Services (DiffServ) as defined by RFC
2474 and RFC 2475 in such a way that each different traffic type can be
marked with a specific differentiated service code point (DSCP) value.

Audio Delay This parameter is used for delay setting on the audio line.

Frequency Operating frequency in Hz. Only the values compatible with the selected
channel spacing are accepted.

Channel spacing Channel spacing. Only the spacings compatible with the current operating
frequency and mode are accepted.

Modulation Mode Radio operating mode. Only the modes compatible with the current
operating frequency and channel spacing are accepted.

Preset Page Number Number of the selected preset page. Zero is displayed in case of an
individual frequency setting, channel spacing, modulation mode, and offset.

RX Audio Level E1 This parameter refers to the E1 audio output of the AM receiver (connector
X13). With the default setting of −4 dBm0, an effective level of –4dBm0 is
applied at 60 % AM modulation of the current receive signal (–0.5 dBm0 at
90 % modulation). The output can be configured from −30 dBm0 to
–4 dBm0 in accordance with the E1 infrastructure.

RX Audio Level VoIP This parameter refers to the VoIP audio output of the AM receiver. With the
default setting of −4 dBm0, an effective level of –4dBm0 is applied at 60 %
AM modulation of the current receive signal (–0.5 dBm0 at 90 %
modulation). The output can be configured from −30 dBm0 to –4 dBm0 in
accordance with the VoIP infrastructure.
Note: The default setting ensures the compliance with the ED-137
requirement of −10 dBm0 at 30% AM modulation depth. If the VoIP
infrastructure complies with the ED-137, the default value shall be left
unchanged.

RX Audio AGC E1 The automatic gain control in the AM demodulator can be switched on and
off. In the range from 30 % to 90 % modulation depth, the signal (E1 RX
Audio) remains constant.

RX Audio AGC VoIP The automatic gain control in the AM demodulator can be switched on and
off. In the range from 30 % to 90 % modulation depth, the signal (VoIP RX
Audio) remains constant.

IPv6 Enabled This parameter is used to enable IPv6 IP-version. The radio can use either
IPv4 or IPv6 for LAN communication. Simultaneous operation of IPv4 and
IPv6 is not possible. If this parameter is set to “Enabled”, IPv6 will be used
and IPv4 will be automatically disabled.
Note: DHCP will be automatically disabled if IPv6 is enabled by the user.
Note: Both IP configuration and Access Control List of the RX module
must be configured according to the selected IP-version.

3.19 6174.8456.02-01
R&S EU4200C Configuring with the R&S ZS 4200

DHCP Enabled This parameter is used to enable dynamic host configuration (DHCP). If
enabled, the radio uses DHCP and can learn an IP address from a DHCP
server installed in the network.
Note: DHCP is supported in IPv4 network only. It is not possible to enable
DHCP while IPv6 is being used.

RX Hostname RX Hostname is assigned to the RX module. Characters and other naming


conventions must comply with the RFC 952 rules. The parameter is
included in the initial DHCP message sent from the radio to the DHCP
server. If the DHCP server is configured accordingly, this information can
be used to inform a DNS server about a potential change in the mapping of
the IP address to hostname.

NTP Server If this parameter is set to a valid IP address or a fully qualified domain
name (FQDN) of an NTP server, the radio starts to periodically synchronize
time with the NTP server.
Note that dynamic delay compensation in multi-carrier offset operation (see
ED137B-1) may require the use of the NTP. For such applications, it may
take some time until NTP time synchronization is sufficiently accurate.

STD Enabled This parameter enables or disables the simultaneous transmission


detection (STD) functionality of the radio (see chapter 3.15 Simultaneous
Transmission Detection (STD)). A valid option key "Simultaneous
Transmission Detection" is required.

STD User Out Enabled This parameter enables signalling of detected simultaneous transmission
events via the User Out port (pin X11.6). If enabled, the signalling is active
as long as the simultaneous transmission lasts.

STD Outer Band This parameter is disabled by default and should be only enabled if the
Check device operates in a multi-carrier offset operation environment (CLIMAX). If
enabled, the implemented simultaneous transmission detection algorithm
will raise an alarm if it detects both a signal at a Climax offset and a signal
at the nominal channel frequency. If disabled, the algorithm will only raise
an alarm if it detects two signals around the nominal channel frequency.

STD CCIR Threshold This parameter is used to configure the carrier-to-carrier interference range
(CCIR) Threshold. The radio signals double transmissions to the user if the
CCIR value which is internally measured by the algorithm is below the
configured CCIR threshold.

STD Event Counter This parameter is a 32bit counter which is incremented by 1 whenever a
double transmission occurs. The counter can be configured for a specific
(initial) value. If the maximum counter value is reached, the value is reset
to 0. The counter is set to 0 upon restart of the radio.

STD Overlap Time This parameter defines the minimum overlap time of a simultaneous
Threshold transmission necessary to generate an STD event.
The overlap time threshold can be set to 800 ms, 1200 ms, 1600 ms and
2000 ms. The default value is 800 ms.
The user has the possibility to increase the overlap time threshold, to adapt
the function to every operational condition.

Recording Enabled This parameter enables or disables digital voice recording according to
ED137B Volume 4 "Recording".
Two options are possible for enabling the recording:
• "On SIP": enables the connection to the configured digital voice recorder
in presence of at least one SIP session to a VCS (ED137B compliant
behaviour).
• "On Startup": enables the connection to the configured digital voice
recorder just after the radio startup, independently of any existing SIP
connection to VCSs.
If enabled on the RX module, the radio records a single audio stream
received from the antenna (related to a single radio channel). If enabled on
the TX module, the radio records a single audio stream sent to the antenna
(related to a single radio channel).
Digital voice recording requires both an ED137B-compatible digital voice
recorder and a valid option key "Voice Recorder" installed on the radio.
Note: Digital voice recording is only possible when the radio is set to VoIP
mode.

Recorder Addresses This parameter needs to be configured with the RTSP URLs of the voice
recorders.
Both RX and TX modules allow 2 concurrent voice recordings to 2 different
recorders.

Recording Codec This parameter selects the audio codec (A-law or u-law) that is used for
ED137B-4 voice recording.

Max. Number of VoIP This parameter configures the maximum number of concurrent VoIP
sessions sessions (SIP/RTP) that are accepted by the radio. By default, the radio is
able to operate with 2 concurrent VoIP sessions. Up to 7 concurrent VoIP
sessions can be configured with this parameter if the respective option key
for "7 VoIP Sessions" is installed.

Scan Mode Enable This parameter enables or disables the channel scanning function of the
radio (see chapter 3.16). A valid option key “Scanning Mode” is required.

Scan Begin Preset This parameter defines the first channel of all channels which shall be
scanned. All channels which shall be scanned have to be configured in the
preset channel list.

Scan End Preset This parameter defines the last channel of all channels which shall be
scanned. Please, note that “Scan End Preset” has to be higher than “Scan
Begin Preset”.

Scan Priority Channel The user can specify a priority channel which is scanned in every second
iteration. If a priority channel (P) is configured, then the channel scanning
sequence shall be as follows: P -> 1 -> P -> 2 -> P -> 3 …
No priority channel is specified if the parameter is set to 0. In that case the
channel scanning sequence shall be as follows: 1 -> 2 -> 3 -> …

Scan Search Time This parameter defines the time the radio waits for a squelch on the
currently tuned frequency before continuing the scan on the next channel.
The default value is set to 100 ms. The parameter can be set to up to 60
seconds (in steps of 100 ms).

R&S EU4200C Configuring with the R&S ZS 4200

Scan Auto Continue The parameter defines the time after which the scan continues if SQ
Time becomes inactive on the current channel (dwell time). It is configurable in
the range between 1 to 60 seconds in steps of 1 seconds. The default
value is set to 5 seconds.
If the value 0 is configured, then the scan shall be paused if SQ becomes
inactive on the current channel.

Scan Squelch Timeout If the scan detects a squelch and the squelch lasts for more than “Scan
Squelch Timeout” seconds, then the scan automatically continues with the
next channel from the list. The squelch timeout is configurable in the range
of 1 seconds to 1000 seconds in step of 1 second. If the timeout is
configured to 0, then the squelch timeout is disabled.

SQ Signalling Logic When the noise suppression is disabled (e.g. by pressing the SQ button),
two different behaviours of the squelch signalling are possible which are
configurable by that parameter.
Value "R&S Type":
Even if the noise supression is disabled and the audio is never muted, the
SQ signalling (analog SQ relay, VoIP SQ bit, E1 SQ pattern, SQ LED)
reports anyway the status of the receiver, i.e. RSSI AND/OR (S+N)/N
above/below the SQ thresholds
Value "Standard":
The SQ signalling (analog SQ relay, VoIP SQ bit, E1 SQ pattern, SQ LED)
reports the status of the corresponding audio interface, i.e. permanently not
muted.

Local Mode Warning The radio can be configured in such a way that pressing the LOC button on
the radio generates the CBIT warning 0415, 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 0414, 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 fan is not running as expected.
The NOGO warning PSU fan 0201 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 switchover 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 fan is not running as expected.
The NOGO warning main fan 0103 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 switchover via TEST_OC X10.4.

Inactive Warning The radio can be configured in such a way that if the radio is inactive, it
generates the CBIT Warning 0101 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 0430
will be sent to the remote control system.

the radio is in local mode.
In the receive mode, the front panel receiver audio signal is always audible.
In other words, the internal loudspeaker and the headphone audio
connector are always active and the volume of the two can be controlled by
the left and right arrow keys on the front-panel keyboard.
Note: The local mode causes the termination of all active VoIP connections

SQ Key \SQ Key "Radio". doc

3.4.2.6 SQ Key

Function By using the SQ key, you can open or close noise suppression (squelch) at
any time independently of the current menu. The only precondition is the
local mode.
Squelch behavior The noise suppression (squelch) mutes the output of all audio interfaces
(analog, VoIP, E1, MMI), depending on the RSSI and the S/N squelch
thresholds. The thresholds can be configured using the Service and
Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200 (see chapter 3.3 with the R&S ZS 4200).
The current status of noise suppression (squelch signalling) is reported by
all audio interfaces with a dedicated signal:
analog: Squelch relay
VoIP: SQ bit in VoIP protocol
E1: SQ pattern in the signalling timeslot
MMI: SQ LED
If the noise suppression is disabled by pressing the SQ button, the audio
interfaces are never muted and noise can be present on the audio
interfaces, in case any or a very weak signal is present at the RX antenna
input.
When the noise suppression is disabled, two different behaviours of the
squelch signalling are possible and they can be selected configuring the
parameter SQ Signalling Logic via USB, GB2PP or SNMP.
R&S Type (standard behaviour up to R11.05).
Even if the noise supression is disabled and the audio is never muted, the
SQ signalling (analog SQ relay, VoIP SQ bit, E1 SQ pattern, SQ LED)
reports anyway the status of the receiver, i.e. RSSI AND/OR (S+N)/N
above/below the SQ thresholds.
Standard (new behaviour introduced in R11.1x).
The SQ signalling (analog SQ relay, VoIP SQ bit, E1 SQ pattern, SQ LED)
reports the status of the corresponding audio interface, i.e. permanently not
muted.

3.4.2.7 LOC Key


LOC Key \LOC Key "Radio". doc

Function on radio The LOC key enables you to switch between local and remote mode at any
time independently of the current menu. The local mode has priority over
remote accesses, i.e. a remote fixed session over the Ethernet − LAN
interface will automatically be terminated if you select local mode 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).
By pressing the LOC key the radio will enter the local mode.
Note: The local mode causes the termination of all active VoIP connections
if the parameter “Line Interface in Local” mode is disabled. As long as the
radio is in local mode, all VoIP connection requests are rejected.
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.

Main-Stand by Operation\Main-stand by operation "Radio".doc

This chapter This chapter provides information about the cabling and configuration of the
radio pair for the main/standby operation.

3.6.1 Introduction/Overview

Introduction Two radios can be connected together in a main/standby configuration. The


main radio is used for radiocommunication. The standby radio takes over if
a failure or critical error occurs on the main radio.
All CBIT events with the level E (Error) switch the main radio to the standby
mode and the standby radio to the main mode. CBIT events can be
configured as an error (E) or a warning (W) (see chapter 3.3 Configuring
with the R&S ZS 4200).
Automatic main/standby operation can be used in analog mode and in VoIP
mode. The main/standby concept in VoIP mode follows a similar approach
than for analog main/standby. A smooth migration from analog to VoIP
operation for installed analog main/standby systems is possible as well as
parallel analog and VoIP operation. For (1:1) radio redundancy VoIP
sessions are established always to both radios to ensure a fast switch over.

3.6.1.1 Behavior of the Main/Standby Configuration with Power On

Description Both radios have to be powered up. If there is no failure, the radios are
booting and will get into the following state: The radio configured as "Main"
has to indicate the "GO" and "VOP" LEDs and to show the status "ACT" on
the display, the radio CBIT status is "OK" (see Fig. 3.63). The second radio
configured as "Standby" has to indicate the "GO" LED while the "VOP" LED
remains dark. In addition, the display shows the status "INACT". The figures
below show the radios displays after booting (see Fig. 3.64).
The inactive standby radio becomes active after switching to local mode, as
long as the radio is in the activation state “AUTO”. The main active radio
becomes inactive. After leaving the local mode both radios will keep their
state.

3.6.1.2 Behavior at Remote Control

Description When the command "MS_GO" has been sent via remote control, the radio
switches to ACTIVE state irrespective of the previous state. Referring 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
“OFF” parameter 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 local mode, it is possible to
change the activation state of the radio. After leaving the local mode, the
radio will keep this state.

3.6.1.3 Behavior in Case of Device Errors

Description 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 inactive using the cross-
connected *OFF line.
If an error disappears on the inactive "Main" radio, the "Standby" radio will
stay active. In case there will be an error on the active "Standby" device, a
switch-over to the "Main" radio will be done if no error is active on this radio.

3.6.1.4 Behaviour in VoIP mode

Description Both radios (the active and the inactive one) allow the setup of VoIP
sessions.
The active radio receives the signal from the antenna and sends the
demodulated audio and the SQ ON information to the VCS.
Voice recorder: The active and inactive radio will establish a RTSP
connection to configured voice recorders, but only the active radio will send
audio data, when receiving. No data will be sent by the inactive radio.

3.6.5 Limitations/Notes

Please note that there are certain limitations for the main/standby operation:
 Main and Standby radio configuration with NoGo state on radios wired
as 1:1 M/S pair must be avoided

In case of the NoGo state on both radios, both TEST_OC lines


become open (both radios are reporting a request for M/S switchover).
This state brings the radios to ACTIVE state when they can receive
and transmit simultaneously. This can be dangerous especially for
transmitters.

Example of an incorrect radio configuration:

– HW Configuration: Main and Standby radios are supplied from the


same mains. Both radios are connected to a DC backup battery
– CBIT Configuration: AC-Main Supervision is configured as "NoGo"
on both Main and Stadby radios. If the AC main fails, the radios will
request the M/S switchover and switch to the unwanted ACTIVE state

Note: If one radio is in local mode while the other one is in remote mode,
then the locally operated radio is active and the second one is inactive. This
setting remains even when the local mode is left. The main/standby switch-
over capability of the radio pair is now available.
Note: The “Inacitive Warning” parameter should be set to “Disable” to avoid
the inactive "Standby" radio shows the CBIT event “INACTIVE WARNING”.
Note: Set the “Line Interface in Local Mode” parameter to “Enabled”. Radio
in local mode will switch from state INACTIVE to state ACTIVE but does not
close VoIP sessions.
Note: Make sure that all operational parameters are equal on both radios
(with exception of IP address).

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

This chapter This chapter provides information about the functioning, configuration and
conditions of the radio for the in-band signaling.

3.8.1 Introduction/Overview
Introduction To reduce the number of lines, in particular for transmitting signals over
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.
The R&S Series 4200 radios support the following in-band functions:
 Signaling of SQ on receiver side
 Audio in-band tones for RSSI signaling on receiver side

Signaling of SQ SQ can be indicated by a tone with a specified frequency that is present


within AF signal. If the In-Band signaling is configured to SQ, the in-band
tone is generated when SQ is open (SQ threshold is met). If the parameter
is configured to INVSQ, the in-band tone is generated when the SQ
threshold is not met. A part of AF signal near the SQ tone frequency is
suppressed by a notch filter. The squelch can be signalled via the RX audio
channel with the tones of 1225 Hz, 2040 Hz, 2175 Hz, 2440 Hz, 2970 Hz or
3300 Hz.
The level of the SQ tone is variable within specified range and is related to
nominal audio signal level set by “RX Audio Level”.
Signaling of STD STD can be indicated by a tone with a specified frequency that is present
within AF signal. If the In-Band signal is configured to STD, the in-band
tone is generated when a simultaneous transmission is detected.
Audio in-band At the RSSI selection one of four tone frequencies is generated depending
tones for RSSI on received signal strength and is transmitted via the in-band audio
signaling channel (X10.2/X10.3) (see Fig.3.70 Tone used for RSSI signal quality).
The appropriate low pass filter is used in order to suppress received AF
signal in the affected AF range. During one transmission cycle the RSSI
signaling frequency is kept constant.
The level of the RSSI tone is variable within a specified range and is related
to nominal audio signal level.
Note: Once the SQ criteria is met, the signal strength is evaluated. An
appropriate in-band tone is selected and kept unchanged for the whole
period (until the SQ release).

3390 Hz (good quality) SQ criteria met, RSSI > 30 µV


3300 Hz (middle quality) SQ criteria met, 6µV < RSSI < 30 µV
3210 Hz (bad quality) SQ criteria met, RSSI < 6 µV
3180 Hz (no signal) SQ criteria not met

Best Signal Selection R&S EU4200C

3.11 Best Signal Selection

This chapter This chapter provides information about the cabling, configuration and
conditions when using a pair of radios for best signal selection (BSS).

3.11.1 Introduction/Overview

Function description To optimize signal quality in difficult reception environments (shadowing,


etc.), two radios can be operated at different sites at the same frequency,
each with a separate antenna.
The radios automatically detect the one which receives the stronger audio
signal from the distant station, and this signal is connected through.
The "best signal" is determined by means of the two RSSI signals during
the first 200 ms of each radio message (PTT). The radio offering better
reception is then used during the entire radio message.
The radio which first switches the squelch on delivers a signal to the audio
line. After 200 ms the RSSI is sampled once and the radio with larger RSSI
value switches its signal to the audio line for the rest of the transmitted
audio burst. A new evaluation is done when the squelch opens again.
The following timing diagrams show the 2 possible cases (radio 1 with
stronger RSSI, radio 2 with stronger RSSI)

Fig. 3.79 Radio 1 has a stronger receive signal, no switchover audio


signal.

3.11.2 Cabling

Instructions 1. Connect the USER_OUT2 (X11.14) signal to the /AF_INHIBIT (X11.7)


input and the RSSI (X11.8) signal to the EXT_RSSI (X11.5) input on
each radio.
2. Connect the SQ+ (X10.8), SQ- (X10.8), AUDIO_RxA (X10.2) and
AUDIO_RxB (X10.3) outputs of the two radios in parallel.

Note: Using the E1 interface together with the BSS function is not possible.
Note: With the AUDIO_RxA and AUDIO_RxB signals connected in parallel
the output impedance will be halved to a value of 300 Ohm.

3.11.3 Configuration

Configuration of Use the Service and Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200 to configure the
radios using radios for control of the best signal selection function.
the R&S ZS 4200
1. Configure one of the two radios as the "Main (0)" and the other one as
the "Standby (1)" radio.
2. Set the “BSS Enable” parameter to "Enable" on both radios.
3. Set the “RSSI Output” parameter to "R&S Standard" on both radios.

Setting on radios 4. Set the same frequency on both radios.

Conditions For the following parameters identical settings must be made on both
radios:
 SN Squelch Threshold
 RSSI Squelch Threshold
 S/N RSSI Logical Operation
 RX Input Sensitivity
Note: The operation of the Service and Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200 is
described in detail in the corresponding operating manual.

3.11.4 Limitations/Notes

Limitations Please note that there are certain limitations to radio operation if the best
signal selection function is active:
 The radios cannot be operated in the main/standby mode as described
in chapter 3.6 Main/Standby Operation (1:1). Both radios must be
operated in active mode
 The USER_OUT2 output cannot be used for remote control of a user
via the management system (UO (user out) GB2PP code)

Note: If the signal strength is nearly identical on both radios, it may happen
that the radio with the weaker signal is connected to the distant station
because of measurement tolerances.
Note: The thresholds are defined for S/N. The corresponding value of
SINAD will be 2 dB higher (SINAD 12 dB value corresponds with S/N 10 dB
value).

Enabling E1 Using E1 requires to install a valid option key "E1 Interface". The E1
interface is only available for the AM mode with "Audio Interface" set to
"E1", see chapter 3.14.6.

3.12.1 Introduction/Overview

Introduction The radio is equipped with an E1 interface for the digital transmission of
audio signals.
Description of the The E1 interface is implemented according to ITU standards G.703, G.704,
E1 interface G.711 and G.732. The frame structure is CAS multiframe. The PCM coded
audio signal (A-law) is transmitted in timeslot TS1 and the signaling is
transmitted in timeslot TS16. The channel associated signaling (CAS) used
in TS16 is specified below.
Signaling code The signaling is coded in bits A, B, C, D as follows (first bit = A):
CAS coding for direction from receiver (RX)
Squelch closed/Device status OK: 0101
Level < 6 μV: 0011
Level > 6 μV to 30 μV: 0110
Level > 30 μV: 1100
Device status NOGO: 1111
Reserved: all other states
CAS coding direction to receiver (RX)
Reserved: all states

Note: Once the SQ criteria are met, the signal strength is evaluated. An
appropriate CAS code is selected and kept unchanged for the whole period
(until the SQ release).

Error handling The squelch signaling is overwritten by the "Device status NOGO" signaling.
The „Alarm for Inactive Warning“ parameter can be used to enable or
disable the sending of AIS also when the radio goes to inactive mode
(stand-by). This allows implementing an automatic switchover to another
radio if the multiplexer used on site supports such function.
For remote control it is required to have additional LAN connection to the
remote control system (see chapter 3.5 Radio Control (Remote Mode)
via LAN).

VoIP Mode\VoIP Mode "Radio". doc

This chapter This chapter provides information about the VoIP mode. The R&S S4200
radio offers the possibility of digital audio transmission via voice over
internet protocol (VoIP). VoIP is a protocol driven communication standard.
VoIP is implemented according to EUROCAE ED-137B. The following VoIP
options are supported by the S4200 radio.
Option Key "VoIP" This option key provides the mandatory features of ED137B Volume 1
"Radio", i.e. transmission of audio data between a VCS and the radio via
the VoIP protocol. It includes sophisticated extensions such as linked
sessions or dynamic delay compensation (relative and absolute delaying of
packets in Climax scenarios).
Option Key "7 VoIP With a valid option key installed, the radio will accept up to 7 simultaneous
Sessions" SIP sessions.
Option Key "Voice This option key activates support for digital voice recording according to
Recorder" "ED137B - Volume 4 Recorder". Up to two independent recorders can be
served simultaneously if the radio is in the VoIP mode. The radio controls
the recorder via the real-time streaming protocol (RTSP). Recording
payload is sent via the "RTP over independent TCP" approach, see
ED137B-4. The status of recording can be controlled (remotely) via the
command "Recording Active" or via the event list. The codec to be used for
voice recording can be configured to either A- or u-law via the parameter
"Recording Codec" irrespective of the codec used in the VoIP sessions.

3.14.1 Introduction/Overview

Introduction This chapter explains basic mechanisms of VoIP communication. VoIP for
Air Traffic Management (ATM) represents an IP communication standard
which is adapted for ATM requirements.
Note: VoIP is used for communication between a voice communication
system (VCS) or the R&S GB4000V over an IP network.
VoIP for ATM VoIP standard uses the following protocols:
 SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)
Application layer protocol for establishing, modifying and terminating
multimedia sessions based on RFC 3261.
 SDP (Session Description Protocol)
Application layer protocol used for defining and negotiation of session
parameters which are used for a two-way RTP communication based on
RFC 4566.
 RTP (Real-Time Transport Protocol)
Application layer protocol used for transporting audio data via network
based on RFC 3550.
 R2S Protocol (R2 Signaling Protocol)
Protocol which offers a mechanism for “Keep Alive” signalling to control the
connection between the VCS or the R&S GB4000V and the radio.

 Session related connections (SIP/SDP)
 Audio stream related connections (RTP/R2S)
The figure below shows that a VoIP connection to the radio always consists
of both a SIP/SDP and an RTP/R2S connection. VoIP connections
need to be established for each module. Therefore, a transceiver in
VoIP operation mode will always have at least one connection to the
RX and one connection to the TX module. Note that each module can
have a maximum of two concurrent SIP/RTP sessions.

3.14.7 VoIP Connection Establishment

Introduction This chapter explains the way from session initiation to audio transmission
via VoIP. The explanation of the connection establishment is independent
from the radio modules.
VoIP is a session-based communication standard. This means that audio
data transmission requires a mechanism to synchronize the two endpoints
(RX/TX and VCS/R&S GB4000V) also called user agents (UA). This
synchronization of endpoint capabilities is done by SIP (see chapter 3.14.1)
and SDP (see chapter 3.14.1). In this case SIP is used to initiate a session
and SDP is used for negotiating the endpoint capabilities.
The connection establishment between two user agents contains two
phases:
 Session initiation (see chapter 3.14.3)
 Audio communication (see chapter 3.14.3)
Session Initiation During session initiation the user agent one (VCS or R&S GB4000V) tries to
connect to the user agent two (R&S S4200) by using the session initiation
protocol (SIP). The identification between the two user agents is done by
unified resource identifier (URI). The user agent two (R&S S4200) checks
its Emergency and Normal VoIP ACLs whether the requesting user agent is
allowed to connect. The VoIP ACL contains the URIs being allowed to
connect.
Note: The VoIP ACL can be used as a whitelist. This allows all user agents
to connect to the radio (no URI restriction).
Note: If the parameter “Second IP Address Enabled” is set to TRUE, SIP
sessions have to be established via the primary IP address.

By using the session description protocol (SDP) both user agents negotiate
their capabilities (e.g. used codec etc.). If the whole negotiating process
succeeds, the session between both user agents is established. This
establishment is the basis for the audio communication. This means that
without an established SIP session no audio data can be transferred.
Note: The SIP session keeps existing until one of the user agents
terminates the session or the network connection fails.

Audio After successful establishment of a SIP session the result of the negotiating
Communication process between both user agents will be used to configure the RTP-based
audio transmission (e.g. codec to use, ports to use etc.).
Note: The real time transport protocol uses even ports higher than 5004.
If one user agent terminates the SIP session, the corresponding RTP
connection will also be terminated.

3.14.8 AM Voice Functionality with VoIP Interface

Introduction This chapter is an overview of AM Voice Functionality which influences the


VoIP communication.
AF Inhibit The AF Inhibit functionality is working but it is not signalled via the VoIP.
The AF Inhibit input X11.7 on the rear panel should be left unconnected to
avoid malfunction of the VoIP operation.
True Sidetone Muting of the receiver due to True Sidetone is not indicated via the VoIP.

3.14.9 Parallel Operation of the Analog and VoIP Audio Interfaces

Introduction Analog interface functionality remains unchanged when VoIP audio


interface is selected (see chapter 3.3).
RX Audio Basic Radio functionality related to RX Audio Basic interface X10 remains
interface X10 unchanged when VoIP audio interface is selected. Received demodulated
audio signal is available on Analog and VoIP interfaces in parallel.
Note: When in-band signalling is enabled (SQ or RSSI, see chapter 3.8 In-
band Signaling), the tones are present only on RX Audio Basic interface
X10.

R&S EU4200C Simultaneous Transmission Detection (Optional)

3.15 Simultaneous Transmission Detection (Optional)


Simul Trans Detectio n\Simul Trans Detection "Rad io".d oc

Introduction Operational experience has shown that simultaneous transmissions by


pilots and air-traffic controllers can stay undetected, with severe
implications on the safety of air-traffic. Rohde&Schwarz has developed a
sophisticated approach to detect cases where two transmissions overlap in
time. Receiver modules support detection of both simultaneous
transmissions of two pilots and simultaneous transmissions of the pilots and
controllers. The implementation of simultaneous transmission detection on
the R&S receiver modules covers the SHOULD requirements of Case 1,
Case 2, Case 3b, and Case 4, specified inside Section 2.5 of the ED136.
Enabling STD Using Simultaneous Transmission Detection requires to install a valid option
key "Simultaneous Transmission Detection" and to explicitly enable the
functionality via the "STD Enabled" parameter. The STD feature is only
available for the AM mode, and can be used with "Audio Interface" set to
"Analog", "VoIP", or "E1".
STD CCIR Threshold It is recommended to use the default value of 20 dB. If configured to small
values (e.g. 5 dB), then less simultaneous transmission events will be
detected, i.e. only those events where the power level of the two
simultaneously received signals is in the same magnitude.
STD Outer Band This parameter should be only enabled if the device is operating in a multi-
Check carrier offset operation environment (CLIMAX), i.e. if it (permanently)
receives a signal at a Climax offset (from a ground station). Generally, all
modes for multi-carrier offset operation and channel spacing (8.33 and 25
kHz) are supported. However, the performance detection can slightly
degrade if a mode with a Climax offset of 0 kHz is deployed (3- and 5-
carrier Climax) and the respective ground station with 0 kHz offset is
actually received at the radio.
STD Overlap Time This parameter defines the minimum overlap time of a simultaneous
Threshold transmission necessary to generate an STD event.
The overlap time threshold can be set to 800 ms, 1200 ms, 1600 ms and
2000 ms. The default value is 800 ms.
The user has the possibility to increase the overlap time threshold, to adapt
the function to every operational condition.
Signalling of Detected simultaneous transmission events are signalled via the following
STD events channels:
 Inband tone: Configurable via parameter "SQ/RSSI Signalling" and
"STD Inband Signalling Frequency" in Analog mode, VoIP mode, and
E1-mode
 If VoIP is used: Inband signalling via SCT bit, see ED137B-1
 If E1 is used: Channel Associated Signalling (CAS) bit sequence 1110
 User Out Port: Configurable via parameter "STD User Out Enabled"
Irrespective of the used signalling channel, the simultaneous transmission
will be signalled as long as the event lasts.
History of occurred The history of occurred simultaneous transmission events can be tracked in
STD events the event list. In addition, the parameter "STD Event Counter" counts the
number of occurred events since the last radio reboot and can be queried
via SNMP or GB2PP.

Channel Scanning Function (Optional) R&S EU4200C

3.16 Channel Scanning Function (Optional)

Introduction Receiver modules support a channel scanning function. A predefined


number of channels are scanned in cyclic routine changing automatically
the receiver frequency. If a steady carrier is detected within the configured
“Scan Search Time” parameter, the scanning will stop and listen-in is
possible. The scanning is resumed, if no carrier is detected after less than
the configured “Scan Auto Continue Time” parameter.
Channel scanning function supports a maximum of 200 frequencies and
channel spacing 25 kHz and 8.33 kHz.
Enabling Scanning Using the channel scanning function requires to install a valid option key
“Scan Mode” and to explicitly enable the functionality via the “Scan Mode
Enable” parameter.
Configuration All channels which shall be scanned have to be configured in the preset
pages list. The user has to configure the start channel (Parameter “Scan
Begin Preset”) and the end channel (Parameter “Scan End Preset”) of the
preset pages list. Please, note that the “Scan End Preset” parameter has to
be higher than the “Scan Start Preset” parameter.
A priority channel (“Scan Priority Channel” parameter”) can be specified. If a
priority channel (P) is configured, then the channel scanning sequence shall
be as follows: P -> 1 -> P -> 2 -> P -> 3 … The priority channel is scanned
in every second iteration.
The “Scan Search Time” parameter defines the time the radio waits for a
squelch on the currently tuned frequency before continuing the scan on the
next channel. This parameter should be changed if the scanning frequency
should run more slowly.
If the scan detects a squelch and the squelch lasts for more than “Scan
Squelch Timeout” seconds, then the scan automatically continues. The user
may disable the squelch timeout by setting the value to 0.
If the scan detects a squelch, the scan resumes automatically after the time
interval “Scan Auto Continue Time” has elapsed since the release of the
squelch. If this parameter is set to 0 the scanning will be paused after
release of the squelch.
Scanning function Channel scanning function is controlled by “Scan Status and Control”
parameter. The SET command allows to start, stop, pause and resume a
scan. The GET command returns the current state of scanning (stopped,
searching, squelch on, auto continue and paused).
The “Scan Status and Control” parameter is not available via R&S ZS4200.
Please refer to the ICD for a detailed description of that parameter.
The following figure shows the channel scanning function in more detail
including all internal states of scanning.

Fig. 3.92 Software download via USB.

Partition The radio is equipped with two different partitions; each of them can be
management updated with a certain software version. The software versions in a partition
1 may be different from the version in a partition 2.
The radio may be booted from each partition. The partition to be booted can
be selected with the LAN command “RU_SI” or by using the
Service and Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200. For more details, see the
Service and Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200 software manual and the ICD.
Note: As the R&S EU4200C contains 2 modules (receiver and MMI
modules), there is a partition 1 and a partition 2 in each module.

3.109 6174.8456.02-01
R&S EU4200C Software Download

USB Download If the radio is updated via USB interface, always the first partition is
updated. The Service and Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200 switches the
radio into an update mode, which interrupts the operation and disables all
interfaces.
After the software download the radio always boots from the partition 1.
Remote Download The software download on the LAN interface can be done in parallel to the
via LAN operation of the radio. The update is always done into the partition which
was not used for booting. This means that if the radio was booted from the
partition 1, the remote download will be done into the partition 2 and vice
versa.
After the download has been completed the user can choose when to
switch the radio into the updated partition. This is done by selecting the
partition which has been updated as the boot partition and then
commanding the radio to reboot. Then, the radio always reboots from the
same partition until the partition is changed manually via a remote control
command.
Recovery The radio is equipped with a recovery mechanism. In two defined situations,
mechanism the radio will automatically switch from one partition and try to boot the
other, currently an inactive partition:
1. The radio is rebooted after a software update and this reboot fail.
2. The user manually switches the partition and the succeeding reboot
fails.
Note: The normal booting time of the radio is less than 1 minute.

4.2.2 Unexpected Radio Restart

This chapter This chapter describes the process of troubleshooting and possible restart
triggers in case of an unexpected restart of the radio.

Radio restart There are two main radio restart triggers:


triggers
 External triggers (can be requested, e.g. user, remote client; or
unrequested, e.g. power line interruption)
 Internal triggers (always unrequested, e.g. WatchDog (WD), Partition
Management)
Note: The radio continuously checks if all modules of the radio are still alive
("watchdog"). If the radio detects that a certain module does not respond, it
tries to automatically reset the component/module. In most cases, this will
bring the radio back to normal operation.
In order to recognize the exact trigger of the radio restart, it is necessary to
analyze Event logs of the RX module of the radio.
Every time the radio restarts (or is powered up), it stores the restart-related
events in the event logs at a certain point of booting process:

 001 RESTART – indication of radio restart


 110 MMI PART a b c – indication of MMI booted partition
 439 RX PART a b c – indication of RX booted partition (RX only)

The following table shows restart triggers (referenced shortly as “triggers”)


and the related events in the event log. The restart-related events described
above are not part of the table. Please note that some triggers do not create
an event in the event log. The disjunctive method can be used for detection
of such triggers.

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 1 year in order
to ensure the specified frequency accuracy for the TCXO.
Test connection

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)
 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.

R&S EU4200C Scheduled Maintenance

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 Δf ≤ ±0.5 ppm (corresponds to e.g.
±60 Hz at 120 MHz).
Additional Dust Under special environmental conditions, the use of an additional dust
Protection Filter protection filter is necessary.
The dust protection filter mats (Order No.: 5113.0571.00) must be cleaned
or replaced in certain intervals. The time interval depends on the
environmental conditions in which the receiver is used. To remove the filter
mat, follow this procedure:

1. Undo the two screws (see Figure 5.2) fixing the cover of the front panel.
2. Carefully remove the cover.
3. Remove the filter mat from the cover.
4. Clean the filter mat by using compressed air. If necessary, replace the
filter mat.
5. Re-insert the cleaned or replaced filter mat into the cover.
Note: The top-side of the filter mat is softer than the bottom-side.
6. Perform the steps 1. and 2. in the reverse order.

Fan Maintenance R&S EU4200C

5.2 Fan Maintenance


Fan Maintenance\Fan Maintenance "Radio". doc

Introduction The main fan of the radio prevents the radio from overheating in case of
high external temperature. The fan of the PSU (power supply unit) ensures
that the power supply does not overheat. Therefore, the temperature inside
the radio is constantly measured and the rotation speed of the fans is
adapted accordingly and monitored.
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).
Maintenance of the If a fan wears out, it is recommended to exchange the fan to prevent the
main and PSU fans radio from subsequent failure. An indication to replace the fan is the
occurrence of a CBIT warning message. If a “warning” occurs, the radio is
still operational, but the fan must be replaced soon.
If one of the following CBIT messages occur more than once or over a
prolonged period of time, it is recommended to replace the main fan or the
PSU fan as a preventive action.
On the receiver:
 0103 MAIN FAN WARNING, possibly in conjunction with a
temperature warning 0411 RX TEMP WARNING
 0201 PSU FAN WARNING, possibly in conjunction with a
temperature warning 0203 PSU TEMP WARNING
Replacement of the fan is described in the service manuals of the radios,
where also the order number for the spare part is listed.

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.

Remote Control Commands R&S EU4200C

6.3 Remote Control Commands


List of Remote Contro l Commands\List of Remote Control Com mands "Radio". doc

The radio can be remotely controlled and monitored via its IP-interface.
Remote control is possible either via SNMP or the Rohde & Schwarz
GB2PP protocol. SNMP and GB2PP can be used in parallel, with a
maximum of 4 remote control clients, having an active connection (TCP for
GB2PP, UDP for SNMP). However, when using GB2PP/TCP only, a
maximum of 6 remote control clients is permitted.
With respect to SNMP, the Series 4200 radio provides a full implementation
of the Generic ATC Radio MIB according to ED137B Volume 5
"Supervision" and supports relevant MIB-II objects as specified in RFC
1213, in addition to its own Radio specific MIB.
SNMPv3 USM features (User-Based Security Model, RFC 3414), e.g. user
authentication, and fine-grained access control via VACM (View-Based
Access Control Model, RFC 3415) are available to the user if the parameter
"SNMP Enable" is active. SNMPv3 configuration tasks can be performed
based on the existing SNMP admin user (username: "InitialUser",
Password: "InitialUser") as starting point and based on USM and VACM
MIB commands.
The S4200 radio persistently stores the SNMPv3 user configuration. To
restore the empty default configuration with the initial user, it is necessary to
(temporarily) deactivate SNMP via the parameter "SNMP Enable".
Note: The MIBs are available on request.
