Agility Telemetry Radio (ATR) User Manual Oct 2012 Revision D.2 Quick Start Procedure Note: Prior to starting the installation process, go to the KTS Wireless website (ktswireless.com) and download a copy of the ATR Element Management System (EMS) software. Store this software on your PCs Desktop. Follow the steps below to install and configure Agility Telemetry Radio (ATR): 1. Select the location for the ATR. Must be an area free of water intrusion with a temperature range of -30 to +60 deg C (-22 to 140 deg F). It is always best to use the mounting option shown in Figure 1 below to provide good ‘heat sinking’ of the ATR case to a large metal surface or DIN rail. This will reduce the operating temperature of the ATR and surrounding equipment within the same enclosure. Figure 1: ATR Optional Mounting Bracket See the KTS website for ordering information. Correct mounting is critical to maximizing ATR performance and reliability. 2. Locate the coaxial cable to the antenna. This should be a good quality, low-loss cable that is as short as possible. This cable should include an in-line surge arrestor to prevent lightning strike damage to the radio. The cable should have a BNC (F) connector or an adapter will be needed. See the KTS Wireless website for ordering information, if one is needed. 3. Locate the power source. The ATR requires a 9-24 VDC input and draws about 2.5 A (at 12 VDC) when transmitting. Power is supplied via the Green Terminal Block at the end of the unit (See Figure 2). The mating terminal block connector is supplied with the ATR and can be used to connect to an existing power supply. Alternately, a separate power supply (12 or 24 VDC) can be purchased directly from a OEM supplier provided it meets the FCC or other regulatory requirements when powering the ATR. Power/Fan (TB) Ethernet (RJ45) Antenna (SMA) Serial Data (DB9) Figure 2: ATR Connections The proper wiring for the Terminal Block (TB) is shown in Figure 3 below: +12 to 24 VDC In (Radio) Ground +12 or 24 VDC In (External Fan) 123 Figure 3: ATR Power Connections Note that the radio is powered using pins 1 and 3 and accepts any voltage from 12 to 24 VDC. Pins 2 and 3 can be used to connect to an external fan near the radio if additional cooling is required. A thermostat inside the ATR will turn the fan on and off based on its internal temperature. The maximum current supported (internal fuse) for the fan is 0.75 A at 12 VDC. 4. Once the power is supplied to the ATR, observe that the green power LED is illuminated. It takes about 7-10 seconds for the ATR to boot-up. After this, only the green power LED should be on. Figure 4 summarizes the LEDs and their meaning.

Enter a valid password and click on Login. The IP Tab will open if a valid password is entered. Contact KTS Wireless to obtain your password. Section 4.0 of this manual contains the details of using the ATR Element Management System (EMS). Jump to Section 4.0 for details on setting up the EMS and resetting the ATR IP addresses (i.e., changing from the default value). 7. The default IP address of the ATR is 192.168.1.4. This address is automatically loaded in the Connect to field at the top. Click on the GET button at the bottom if this default address is still loaded in the ATR and not been changed. Note: Pressing and holding the recessed Reset button (See Figure 4) for at least 12 seconds will force the radio back to its default settings. The default radio IP address is 192.168.1.4. If the ATR’s IP address is unknown, clicking on the ‘magnifying glass’ icon to the right of the ‘connect to’ will initiate a search. If it is discovered in the search, a pop-up window will appear with the unit’s serial number and IP address. 8. Open the Configuration Tab. Select the Link Configuration (channel bandwidth) from the pull-down menu. Enter the desired Frequency in Hz (with or without commas separators). Make sure the desired frequency is supported by the RF Card installed in the ATR. The following ranges are supported: RF Card Band Frequency Range (MHz) VHF 145.0 to 225.0 (Band 15 or 26) UHF 450.0 to 470.0 (Band 28) The ATR configuration printed label (on the bottom side) indicates the RF Band supported (VHF or UHF). Verification of the Radio band can be found on the SW/HW tab (RF Band is displayed in the upper right of the tab). 9. Set the Transmit Power level. Valid entries are 10 to 37 (dBm). 10. Enter the Radio Type (Remote or Hub). All networks require a single hub. This Hub radio controls the Media Access Control (MAC) software and implements a round-robin polling of all remote sites that have ‘joined’ the network. All remote sites automatically join the Hub/network if they are configured with the same frequency and link configuration as the hub and have sufficient signal strength to communicate with it. 11. Enter the Site Name (optional). This is a convenient name for the location or site and can be used by operation staff for identification. Its value does not affect radio operation. Up to 15 characters can be entered. This name is used by the optional Network Performance Software (NPM) to display the status of sites and send alerts. It is recommended that a unique name be given to each site. 12. Click on SET to make the desired Configuration changes within the ATR. The ATR will automatically reset and begin using the new configuration information. Allow about 7- 10 seconds for this process to complete. And…
