5.2.1 RADIO LINK GENERAL PROPERTIES Figure 5-3: Radio Link General Properties Tab The following controls reside in the Link General Properties tag: • Modulation: This control should show the modulation type along with the wireless link data rate that is provided by a specific radio modem. This option is available only for Base/Primary unit. • RF Output Power Level (selectable from 13dBm/20mW (, or 25dBm/320mW for High Power ArWest radio modems) to Maxi- mum Value defined by Dealer in the “Dealer Configuration”). CS = 6.25 kHz CS = 12.5 kHz CS = 25 kHz DBPSK 2.4 kbps 4.8 kbps 9.6 kbps DQPSK (default) 4.8 kbps 9.6 kbps 19.2 kbps D8PSK 7.2 kbps 14.4 kbps 28.8 kbps D16QAM 9.6 kbps 19.2 kbps 38.4 kbps GMSK Not applicable 4.8 kbps 9.6 kbps Page 5-4 AlphaWave Users Manual 4/26/2006 Chapter 5 • RF Frequency Channel—Automatic Scanning – it is a default option that grays out the Frequency Channel edit box. The List of frequencies scanned by the unit can be assigned through the Link Frequency Properties tab. • Manual Selection – with this option, the operator can select one of the fixed channels (the actual range is based on the facture configuration). The Frequency Channel can be se- lected using the Frequency Channel combo box • Frequency Hopping – selection of Frequency Hopping grays out the Frequency Channel edit box. The List of hopping fre- quencies can be assigned through the Link Frequency Proper- ties tab. • Hopping Pattern: This control is applicable only if the Frequency Hopping mode is selected. The network operator selects one of the 32 avail able Hopping Patterns. 5.2.2 R ADIO LINK PROTOCOL PROPERTIES The following controls reside in the Link Protocol Properties tab: The Protocol sub-group contains radio-button to choose between two types of units: Base and Remote each type has specific list of proto- cols that listed in the List of Protocols combo-box. • Base − Simplex Transmitter − Half Duplex (specific for base unit) • Remote − Simplex Receiver − Half Duplex (specific for remote units) − RTK Repeater − Repeater • Repeater Check Box (available only for base unit ) − Informs base unit about the Repeater(s) in the network Note: • RF Frequency Channel option is available only for Base/ Primary unit. It is same for all units in the network. AlphaWave Users Manual 4/26/2006 Page 5-5 Chapter 5 AlphaWave Users Manual 4/26/2006 Page 5-6 • Scrambling Check Box The Scrambling check box enables/disables the data link pro- tection by scrambling the transmitted data. • Link ID (this variable is valid only if Scrambling is “On”) Seed for Pseudo-Random Sequence Generator (1 - 255) Figure 5-4: Radio Link Protocol Properties Tab 5.2.3 R ADIO LINK FREQUENCY PROPERTIES This tab displays the list of up to 32 available frequencies mapped to corresponding channels. AWare displays the list of available carrier frequencies based on information from the specific unit profile file. Two buttons under Update Form group helps to update the list of frequencies from saved dealer configuration or directly upload from the unit. Note: • The link with Receive-Only radios does not support ARQ option. • Scrambling options are available only for Base/Primary Chapter 5 Page 5-7 AlphaWave Users Manual 4/26/2006 Figure 5-5: Radio Link Frequency Properties Tab 5.3 MODEM FEATURES PROPERTIES This menu item helps to configure radios’ service features such as the alarm indication mode and alarm control lines’ behavior, and the sleep mode. 5.3.1 M ODEM SLEEP PROPERTIES The Sleep check box enables the sleep mode. The unit with the en- abled sleep mode goes to sleep if there is no activity on the wireless link during waiting time defined by Wait edit box (range 100 – 2550 ms). The sleeping AlphaWave unit can be activated again by the real-time CLK, DTR/RTS lines, and command received through TTL inputs. The operator can select one, two, or all three conditions: • Activate by Real-time clock: − After 100 to 2550 ms of sleeping time • Activate by Control Lines: − DTR − RTS (default) − DTR & RTS Chapter 5 • Activate by Sense Input Line: − Sensor 1 − Sensor 2 − Sensor 1 and Sensor 2 To activate the sleeping unit, the operator can select either Sense TTL inputs or/and RTS and DTR inputs. Figure 5-6: Sleep Properties Tab 5.3.2 MODEM ALARM PROPERTIES The AlphaWave radio modem has the ability to indicate alarms using Alarm LED indicator and two TTL outputs. The First Event Output (TTL1) control allows the operator to route the alarms and the inputs from remote sensors to the first event (TTL) output: • Sensor 1 (the sensor’s input on remote unit, default value) • Sensor 1 and Sensor 2 (logic “and” of the sensors’ inputs on remote unit) • Sensor 1 or Sensor 2 (logic “or” of the sensors’ inputs on re- mote unit) Page 5-8 AlphaWave Users Manual 4/26/2006 Chapter 5 The Second Event Output (TTL2) control allows the operator to rout the alarms and the inputs from remote sensors to the second event (TTL) output: • Sensor 2 (the sensor’s input on remote unit, default value) • SYNC Loss • BER > Threshold or SYNC Loss The BER control allows the operator to select the BER threshold level for second event output in case of selected “BER > Threshold or SYNC Loss”: • BER Threshold Level >10 –3 (default value) • BER Threshold Level >10 –2 Figure 5-7: Alarm Properties Tab Page 5-9 AlphaWave Users Manual 4/26/2006 Note: The Alarm Properties are not available for Simplex Trans- mitter configuration. Chapter 5 5.4 SERIAL PORT FEATURES PROPERTIES This menu item helps to configure radios’ service features such as the user data port and maintenance port settings. Figure 5-8: Data Port Properties Tab 5.4.1 DATA PORT PROPERTIES From the Port tab of Unit Configuration dialog box the operator can configure the following data port parameters: • Baud Rate – indicates the operating rate for the data port (300 bps to 115 kbps). The “MP Baud Rate” operating option does not define the data rate specifically. In this mode on, the same data rate is used for both maintenan…
