Required Personnel
ATTENTION
The transceiver has to be configured by qualified personnel. Installation and

operation of the transceiver should be assigned to adequately skilled
personnel.
The personnel must be familiar with this Operating Manual.
1.4
Required Power Supply

Danger of electric shock!
WARNING
The transceiver meets the requirements for Safety Class I in accordance

with DIN EN 61010-1/IEC 61010-1, e.g. all metal parts that can be touched
or accessed without removing the enclosure are connected to the protective
ground of the power supply network.
When connecting the instrument to the AC power supply, always use a
power cable with thermal connector and a socket with earthing contact.
WARNING
The radio contains a two-pole or neutral-conductor fuse. This means that

some parts of the radio will continue to be energized after the fuse has been
tripped.
When replacing the fuse, always disconnect the radio from the AC power
supply. Do not touch any live parts when performing service and
maintenance on the radio while the radio is switched on (by qualified
service personnel only).
External DC Power Supply\\External DC power supply "Name".doc
ATTENTION
The external DC power supply should deliver a short-circuit current of

I 30 A to ensure that the overcurrent protective device functions properly
in the event of a malfunction.
Note: To ensure that the radio works properly, it is required to supply an
earthing contact.
AC voltage
The transceiver operates on an AC voltage.

When the transceiver is connected to the AC line, it automatically sets itself
to the correct voltage (AC voltage 115 V/230 V). There is no need to set the
voltage manually or change the fuse.
DC voltage
The transceiver may also be powered by an external battery (28 V DC). An

automatic switchover facility integrated in the radio provides for automatic
standby switchover in case primary power fails.
Note: See chapter 2.4 for basic cabling and further information.

Functions Description
Function\Function "Radio".doc
Function of the
R&S XU 4200
transceiver
The transceiver R&S XU 4200 contains the R&S EU 4250 receiver module
and the R&S VU 4250 transmitter module, which is powered by the
R&S IN 4240 power supply unit.
Front panel
control unit
The front panel control unit A8 with LCD and keyboard A9 make local
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. The RF signal issued at common antenna X3 is demodulated
in the transmitter module and can be audio-monitored at any time via the
built-in loudspeaker too. You can control the volume by means of the
volume control 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, which
connects all modules, contains a USB hub and connects the transceiver's
USB interface controller with the front panel control unit A7.
Remote control
Remote control is performed as standard via the Ethernet LAN interface

Ethernet LAN Remote Control X6 (TX) or Ethernet LAN Remote
Control X9 (RX) 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. You can switch the
radio on with the switch on the front panel A7.
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
Receiver module:
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

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 spacing 8.33 kHz/25 kHz and modulation schemes AM and
ACARS are processed via the software.
Transmit antenna
The transmit antenna is connected at to N-connector X3. The transmitter

consists of power board A4 with 200 Wpep output stage and analog/digital
board A1 with the main VCXO/clock processing unit, VCO/synthesizer,

3.3.2
Meaning of Parameters
Default setting description\Default setting description "Radio".doc
TX Audio Level
This parameter refers to the modulation input (connector X5.2/3). With the
default setting, the modulation sensitivity is of 0 dBm which means that at
an AF level of 775 mV at this 600 ohm input, the AM transmitter is driven
and modulated at 90 % modulation. The input can be configured from
30 dBm to +10 dBm in accordance with the line infrastructure and the
incoming signal levels. The sensitivity is greatest at 30 dBm, which
means that the full modulation of 90 % modulation is achieved even at a
low level.
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.
TX Output Power
Level Low
Using this parameter, you can define the transmit power between 5 W and
20 W. This value is then adopted with the Low setting (see chapter
3.4.7.2).
TX Output Power
Level Normal
Using this parameter, you can define the transmit power between 5 W and
50 W. This value is then adopted with the Normal setting (see chapter
3.4.7.2).
S/N Squelch
Threshold
The threshold value for the signal to noise (S/N) ratio can be set for the
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
Threshold
The RSSI threshold is based on the received signal level at the receivers
input. The RSSI threshold can be set in a range between 1 V and 50 V.
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

Operation
It is possible to combine the S/N-squelch and RSSI-squelch. By default

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.
6166.5368.02.01
3.14
R&S XU 4200
TX AM Modulation
Depth
The modulation depth for the AM modulation can be set.

When the automatic level control (see TX Audio ALC parameter) is
activated, the set AM modulation is ensured over a dynamic range of
15 dB at the TX audio level interface (X5.2/3).
Note: The AM modulation should be left at 90 % all the time, since the
radio link is best at this value.
TX Audio ALC
The automatic level control for the audio modulation can be switched on
and off.
When this function is activated, the set AM modulation depth (see TX AM
Modulation Depth parameter) is ensured over a dynamic range of 15 dB
at the TX audio level interface (X5.2/3).
Note: If an automatic level control is active in the system external to the
radio, then the level control of the radio should be switched off.
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 % modulation depth,
the signal (RX Audio) remains constant.
PTT Timeout
A time limit can be set for the transmit time. This prevents the radio from
transmitting for an unlimited amount of time if the PTT key is pressed
(stuck). With a value of 0 s, the time limit is switched off.
Note: It is recommended to disable the PTT Timeout in the VoIP mode.
PTT Input
Configuration
There are three different input configurations for the rear PTT input
(connector X5.8/9).
Type I stands for optocoupler input.
Type II should be configured if the system ground (= ground of the PTT
key) does not have the same potential as the rack ground. In this case, the
PTT circuit is fed via the negative voltage of 48 V in the radio.
With the Rohde & Schwarz standard, a pull-up resistor is switched against
the positive voltage of +28 V in the radio.
True Sidetone
Transceiver
The built-in receiver demodulates the emitted signal of the transmitter and
a true sidetone is provided to the Audio RX output.
Depending on the configuration, the receiver in the housing is muted
during transmission. In this case, a true sidetone is not supplied.
Note: Not supported in receivers.
5-Carrier Offset
The transmitter allows different frequency offsets to be set. Normally the

2-carrier, 3-carrier and 4-carrier offset with the values of
7.5 kHz / 7.3 kHz / 5 kHz / 2.5 kHz / 0 kHz / +2.5 kHz / +5 kHz /
+7.3 kHz / +7.5 kHz are available. In addition, the 5-carrier offset can be
selected; this provides 8 kHz / 4 kHz / +4 kHz / +8 kHz in the
transmitter.
3.15
6166.5368.02.01
R&S XU 4200
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 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 parameters RX Audio AGC and TX Audio ALC must be
deactivated.
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/TX Audio
Basic interface X5 is used. If the E1 is selected, the E1 Communication
Data interface X13 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), X9 (TX) (see
chapter 3.15) and TX Audio Basic interface X5. For parallel operation of
VoIP and Analog Audio interfaces, please see chapter 3.15.9 Parallel
Operation of the Analog and VoIP Audio Interfaces.
There are two settings for the sensitivity of the transceiver:

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

Preset Page
200 preset pages can be stored in the radio and called up. Each contains
the frequency 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
(Access Control List)
Here you can enter the IP addresses of the remote control systems or
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 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.
6166.5368.02.01
3.16
R&S XU 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
Local Mode
In local mode, the rear and front panel audio interfaces as well as the VoIP
and E1 data streams operate in parallel (default). The rear panel audio line
interface (including PTT) 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 radio keying from the system-oriented
PTT line input 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 or if local PTT (Push-To-Talk) is not
re-keyed any longer. Timeout can be set between 60 s and 900 s, or
disabled.
EXT VSWR Limit
The external VSWR limit specifies the voltage threshold for the analog
input EXT-VSWR (X7.8). Especially for installations with external
circulators the voltage from an external SWR-detector can be connected to
the radio in order to generate CBIT warning 0338. The external VSWR
input is only processed during active TX state.
EXT VSWR Polarity
Polarity of the external VSWR voltage. Positive polarity means the CBIT is
generated if the measured value is above the defined limit. Negative
polarity means the measured value is below the defined limit.
Single Channel
Fixed frequency cannot be changed. Frequency must be configured before

activating this function.
Motor Tuned Telsa

Filter
It is possible to connect an external automatic filter to the radio. Either

Telsa or R&S filter can be used. In order to activate RS-422 interface, the
configuration parameter has to be enabled.
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.
Mute Loudspeaker
The loudspeaker of the radio can be muted if the PTT is keyed.
External Power
Amplifier
The parameter External Power Amplifier has to be set to R&S or Jotron in

order to control an externally connected power amplifier. Please refer to
chapter 3.13 External Power Amplifier.
Frequency Blocking
Ranges
Up to eight frequency blocking ranges can be defined. The device will

refuse any frequency set command from MMI local operation or from
remote control which is within these frequency blocking ranges.
The configured frequency blocking ranges have to fit the radios
frequency range from 112 MHz to155.991666 MHz.
3.17
6166.5368.02.01
R&S XU 4200
PTT Signaling
PTT can be keyed by a tone with a specified frequency that is present

within AF signal. If the parameter is on, the tone is detected and controls
the PTT function. The tone itself is suppressed within transmitted signal by
a notch filter.
PTT Signaling
Frequency
The frequency of the PTT tone is variable within a specified range.
PTT Signaling
Threshold
The level threshold of the PTT tone detector is variable within specified
range and is related to nominal audio signal level set by TX 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 PTT signaling level for the transmitter. If the setting
with 0 dB in-band signaling is selected, the headroom for the sum level is
reduced by 6 dB.
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.
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 low pass filter is used in order to suppress received AF signal
in the affected AF range.
SQ Signaling
Frequency
The frequency of the SQ tone is variable within a specified range.
SQ/RSSI Signaling
Level
The level of the SQ tone generator is variable within specified range 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.

R&S XU 4200
TX Preemphasis
For the use especially with long telephone lines, the AF response shape
can be adjusted in a way that higher frequencies have higher gain than
lower frequencies. The value in dB specifies the gain at AF = 3400 Hz in
comparison to AF = 800 Hz. Nominal TX audio level is always related to
AF = 1 kHz. Default value is 0 dB which means that TX preemphasis is off.
SNMP Community
String
Name of the SNMP communication community. It is used to restrict the

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

Warning
The parameter is used to enable/disable the transfer of the inactive

warning via the E1 interface.
DC-Battery
Supervision
The voltage during battery operation can be monitored. If the voltage is too
low, two responses in the radio can be triggered.
The Warning setting generates the CBIT warnings 0301 and 0401, which
are output via the remote system connected.
The NOGO setting sets the TEST_OC signal at the output
(connector X5.4) and initiates a switchover to the standby mode in
a main/standby configuration. This setting is recommended if, for example,
two separate DC networks are used for the main and standby radios.
AC-Main
Supervision
The voltage during network operation can be monitored. If the voltage is

too low, two responses in the radio can be triggered:
The warning setting generates the CBIT warnings 0302 and 0402, which
are output via the remote system connected.
The NOGO setting sets the TEST_OC signal at the output
(connector X5.4) and initiates a switchover to the standby mode in
a main/standby configuration. This setting is recommended if, for example,
two separate AC networks are used for the main and standby radios.
Note: If the AC-Mains fail, 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.
3.19
6166.5368.02.01

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 TX module is tx@192.168.52.102.
VoIP PTT Summation

Mode
This setting is used for enabling/disabling of PTT summation for multiple

RTP audio streams.
VoIP Jitter Buffer

Prefetch Value
In order to compensate network delays, the VoIP implementation of the

radio uses a so called Jitter Buffer. The adjustment of this buffer controls
the delay between sender and receiver.
Note: An inadequate value can cause interrupted audio flow. The optimal
value is system-specific and has to be found during the system-setup.
Note: This value influences the maximum confirmation delay. If the value is
greater than 20 ms, the maximum confirmation delay is not compliant to
ED-137-1.
Emergency VoIP URI

ACL
The VoIP mode of the radio offers the possibility to configure the access for
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

Call
This configuration parameter enables or disables acceptance of the VoIP

session requests which only have URIs matching the VoIP URI ACL lists.
Coupling PTT
Summation
This parameter enables or disables additional summing of the VoIP RTP

stream of the SIP call-type coupling and PTT-type coupling together
with the RTP streams selected for the transmission.
Note: The setting of this parameter will end all active SIP sessions.
Primary Domain Name

Server
This parameter is used to setup an IP address of a Domain Name Server.
Secondary Domain
Name Server
This parameter is used to setup an IP address of a Domain 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.
6166.5368.02.01

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.
ATR Switch Mode
Reserved / for future use.
Audio Delay
This parameter is used for delay setting on the audio line.
FTP Login
The parameter needs to be configured to allow remote software download.

If left empty, the Remote Software Download cannot be used (see chapter
3.16 Software Download).
Note: The FTP Login cannot have values FTP and Anonymous.
FTP Password
The parameter needs to be configured to allow remote software download.

If left empty, the Remote Software Download cannot be used (see chapter
3.16 Software Download).
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.
RF Power Level
Selection of the TX output power levels Low or Normal. Power levels for
selection Low and Normal are configurable.
Carrier Offset
TX carrier offset. Configuration parameter 5-carrier offset must be

enabled in order to provide 8 kHz / 4 kHz / +4 kHz / +8 kHz offsets.
For further details on the TX offset activation see chapter 3.4.7.2.1
Explanation of Offset Activation.
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.
TX Audio Level E1
This parameter refers to the E1 modulation input (connector X13, X14).

With the default setting, the modulation sensitivity is 0 dBm0 which means
that at the E1 audio level of 0 dBm0 the AM transmitter is driven and
modulated at 90 % modulation. The input can be configured from
30 dBm0 to 0 dBm0 in accordance with the E1 infrastructure and the
incoming signal levels. The sensitivity is greatest at 30 dBm0 which
means that the full modulation of 90 % modulation is achieved even at a
low level.
Note: The achieved modulation depth depends on the TX AM Modulation
Depth parameter. The relationship described above is valid for TX AM
Modulation Depth configured to 90 % (by default).
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.

setting, the modulation sensitivity is 0 dBm0 which means that at the VoIP
audio level of 0 dBm0 the AM transmitter is driven and modulated at 90 %
modulation. The input can be configured from 30 dBm0 to 0 dBm0 in
accordance with the VoIP infrastructure and the incoming signal levels.
The sensitivity is greatest at 30 dBm0 which means that the full
modulation of 90 % modulation is achieved even at a low level.
Note: The achieved modulation depth depends on the TX AM Modulation
Depth parameter. The relationship described above is valid for TX AM
Modulation Depth configured to 90% (by default).
Note: The default setting ensures the compliance with the ED-137
requirement of 30 % AM modulation depth at 10 dBm0 audio level. If the
VoIP infrastructure complies with the ED-137, the default value shall be left
unchanged.
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.
TX Audio ALC E1
The automatic level control for the E1 audio modulation can be switched on
and off. When this function is activated, the set AM modulation depth (see
TX AM Modulation Depth parameter) is ensured over a dynamic range of
15 dB at the TX E1 audio interface (X13, X14).
Note: If the automatic level control is active in the system external to the
RX Audio AGC E1

off. In the range from 30 % to 90 % modulation depth, the signal (E1 RX
Audio) remains constant.
TX Audio ALC VoIP
The automatic level control for the VoIP audio modulation can be switched
on and off. When this function is activated, the set AM modulation depth
(see TX AM Modulation Depth parameter) is ensured over a dynamic
range of 15 dB at the TX VoIP audio interface.
Note: If an automatic level control is active in the system external to the
RX Audio AGC VoIP

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 and TX
modules must be configured according to the selected IP-version.
6166.5368.02.01
3.22

DHCP Enabled
R&S XU 4200
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.
TX Hostname
TX Hostname is assigned to the TX 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.
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.
Local Mode Warning
The radio can be configured in such a way that pressing the LOC button on
the radio generates the CBIT warnings 0336 and 0415, which are output
via the remote system connected.
USB Connect Warning
The radio can be configured in such a way that a USB access via a service
PC generates the CBIT warnings 0335 and 0414, which are output via the
remote system connected.
External VSWR
Warning
The radio could be configured in such a way that a warning will be

generated if the limit external VSWR EXT_VSWR (X7.8) is exceeded.
The external VSWR CBIT warning 0338 will be sent to the remote control
system connected if the external VSWR limit is exceeded.
The warning can be configured as NOGO warning in order to request a
main/standby switchover via TEST_OC X5.4.
TX Power Low
Warning
If the power is 3 dB lower than expected, the radio will generate the NOGO
warning 0323 and will request a main/standby switchover via TEST_OC
X5.4.
VSWR Warning
The VSWR on the transmitter output (X3) is monitored during operation. If

the VSWR is higher than 2, a NOGO warning will be generated.
The NOGO warning VSWR 0331 will be sent to the remote
control system connected if the VSWR on the transmitter is above 2.
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 remote control
system connected if the power supply fan is not working well.
3.23
6166.5368.02.01
R&S XU 4200
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 remote control
system connected if the main fan of the radio is not working well.
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.
The radio can be configured in such a way that a warning will be generated
if the user contact X7.15 or X11.15 is high. The USER CONTACT
WARNING 0342 or 0430 will be sent to the remote control system.

Note: If the radio is set to local mode (LOC), remote control commands will
be refused. Local mode has the highest priority and interrupts any remote
control fixed sessions. Parameters can only be monitored remotely when
the radio is in local mode.
When the radio is in the local mode, you can connect a headset and power
up the transmitter by pressing the PTT key at any time.
In the receive mode, the front-panel receive audio signal is always audible.
In other words, the internal loudspeaker and the headset audio connector
are always active and the volume of the two can be controlled by the
assigned potentiometer.
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.
All parameters and measurements can be displayed in the remote and local
modes.

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 switch-on and switch-off behavior of noise suppression (squelch) and

the opening and closing of the squelch relay at the output of the radio
depend on the RSSI squelch threshold and the S/N squelch threshold. The
thresholds can be configured using the Service and Maintenance Tool

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
messages
By using the service PC (USB), you can configure whether a local access
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.

Explanation of Offset Activation
The radio offers a number of different offsets that can be activated. As the
handling of unsupported offsets is different from the handling of any other
unsupported parameter, an explanation is given here to avoid
misunderstandings. Normally unsupported parameters or commands are
rejected by the radio with an error message.
Whether an offset is supported depends on a combination of other
parameters, such as spacing or mode. Please refer to the ICD for a
detailed table with all permitted combinations of modes, offsets and
spacings that can be set to the hardware.
Note: The radio behavior is specified as follows: offsets that are not
permitted in certain spacing will be accepted and stored by the radio, but
not activated in the hardware. Only when a spacing which supports this
stored offset is activated, the offset will be activated in the hardware. The
consequence of storing the offset is that it can be read out over all
interfaces and it is displayed on the MMI, even if it is not activated in the
hardware because this combination of offset and spacing is not permitted.

This chapter
3.6.1
This chapter provides information about the cabling and configuration of the
radio pair for the main/standby operation.
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).
3.6.1.1
Description
Behavior of the Main/Standby Configuration with Power On

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. 3.69 Active device). 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.
3.70 Inactive device).
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
R&S XU 4200
Behavior at Remote Control

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 X5) 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 (X5 or
X10) gets ACTIVE if it is in AUTO state.
Description
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 crossconnected *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
switchover to the "Main" radio will be done if no error is active on this radio.

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
switchover capability of the radio pair is now available.
Note: The Inactive Warning parameter should be set to Disable to avoid
the inactive "Standby" radio showing the CBIT event INACTIVE
WARNING.
Note: Set the Line Interface in Local Mode parameter to Disable.
Note: Make sure that all operational parameters are equal on both radios
(with exception of IP address).

This chapter provides information about the functioning, configuration and

conditions of the radio for the in-band signaling.
This chapter
3.8.1
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 PTT on transmitter side

Signaling of SQ on receiver side
Audio in-band tones for RSSI signaling on receiver side
Signaling of PTT
PTT can be keyed by a tone with a specified frequency that is present within
AF signal. If the parameter is ON, the in-band tone is detected and controls the
PTT function. The tone itself is suppressed within transmitted signal by a notch
filter. The PTT can be signaled via the TX audio channel with the tones of 2040
Hz, 2300 Hz, 2970 Hz or 3100 Hz.
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.
Audio in-band
tones for RSSI
signaling
At the RSSI selection one of four tone frequencies is generated depending on

received signal strength and is transmitted via the in-band audio channel
(X10.2/X10.3) (see Fig. 3.79 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 V

This chapter
3.11.1
This chapter provides information about the cabling, configuration and

conditions when using a pair of radios for best signal selection (BSS).
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. 3.85
6166.5368.02.01
Radio 1 has a stronger receive signal, no switchover audio

signal.

Audio Data via E1 Interface\Audio Data via E1 Interface "Radio".doc
This chapter
3.12.1
This chapter provides information about the cabling, configuration and

conditions for using the E1 interface.
Introduction
The radio is equipped with an E1 interface for the digital transmission of

audio signals.
Description of
the E1 interface
The E1 interface is implemented according to ITU standards G.703, G.704,

G.711 and G.732. The frame structure is CAS multiframe. The PCM coded
audio signal (A-law) is transmitted in the 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 to transceiver (TX)
PTT active:
1010
PTT inactive:
all other states
CAS coding for direction from transceiver (RX)
Squelch closed/Device status OK:
Level < 6 V:
Level > 6 V to 30 V:
Level > 30 V:
Device status NOGO:
Reserved:
0101
0011
0110
1100
1111
all other 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
If NOGO errors occur in the radio, an alarm indication signal (AIS) is sent
via the E1 interface. If a CAS-coded PTT signal is received during this time,
it is ignored.
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.
The PTT function will be disabled if one of the following states of the E1
interface are detected:
LOS (Loss of Signal)

LFA (Loss of Frame Alignment)
Loss of multiframe
Loss of synchronization
External D-bit set (remote alarm indication (RAI))
Other conditions that can lead to misinterpretation of CAS information
For remote control it is required to have additional LAN connection to the

remote control system (see chapter 3.5 Remote Cotrol via LAN).

External Power Amplifier R&S VU220L
This chapter
3.13.1.1
This chapter provides information on how to operate the radio together with
the R&S VU220L VHF external power amplifier.
Introduction
The radio supports the use of an external power amplifier.

The R&S VU220L VHF external power amplifier is set to a fixed gain of
10 dB. This means that with input power of 10 W signals will be transmitted
at output power of 100 W.
The amplifier is operated (switched on/off) via the PTT signal which controls
the TX/RX relay of the amplifier. In standby operation the signal from the
antenna is passed through the amplifier to the amplifier's RF input. Thus,
the signal from the antenna is available at the receiver. When the PTT is
active, the signal from the transmitter is passed through the TX/RX relay of

External Power Amplifier Jotron PAV-100/200
This chapter
3.13.2.1
This chapter provides information on how to operate the radio together with
the Jotron VHF external power amplifier.
Introduction
The radio supports the use of an external power amplifier.

The Jotron VHF external power amplifier is set to a fixed gain of 6 dB. This
means that with input power of 25 W signals will be transmitted at output
power of 100 W. With an input of maximum 50 W, the RF signal is
transmitted with 200 W.
The amplifier is operated (switched on/off) via the PTT signal which controls
the TX/RX relay of the amplifier. In standby operation the signal from the
antenna is passed through the amplifier to the amplifier's RF input. Thus,
the signal from the antenna is available at the receiver. When the PTT is
active, the signal from the transmitter is passed through the TX/RX relay of
the amplifier to the amplifier's RF input. The amplified signal is passed to
the antenna.
In case of high antenna mismatch SWR ALARM signal is generated by the
amplifier at the Remote Facility Connector, pin 9 and 10. The alarm signal
shall be connected to the radio's USER_IN input, X7.15. When the
USER_IN input is grounded, the radio switches RF Power to Low. CBITs
0349 EXT PA ALARM and 0350 PWR REDUCED TO LOW are
generated.

This chapter
3.15.1
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, part 1.
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.

VoIP Connections
Introduction
This chapter gives an overview about the network-based communication

between VCS or the R&S GB4000V and the radio.
In transceivers each module (RX/TX) manages
connections. Each connection consists of two parts:
separated
VoIP
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.

R&S XU 4200
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 3.15.1)
and SDP (see chapter 3.15.1). 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
Session initiation (see chapter 3.15.6)
Audio communication (see chapter 3.15.6)

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).
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
Communication
After successful establishment of a SIP session the result of the negotiating

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 5000.
If one user agent terminates the SIP session, the corresponding RTP
connection will also be terminated.

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).
TX Audio Basic
interface X5
Radio functionality related to TX Audio Basic interface X5 remains

unchanged when VoIP audio interface is selected. Transmitter can be
keyed via VoIP interface or using rear PTT input (connector X5.8/X5.9).
In-band PTT can be configured on X5 interface as well (see chapter 3.8
In-band Signaling).
Note: Analog transmitting via X5 and via VoIP cannot work simultaneously.
Only one PTT and audio source is accepted at a time.
Note: Analog Audio Basic Interface is always considered by the transmitter
as PTT-TYPE Normal. Analog audio transmission can be interrupted when
PTT-TYPE Coupling, Priority, or Emergency is coming over VoIP
interface.The PTT coming from the TX Audio Basic interface X5 towards the
VCS is indicated via the RTP Keep Alive with PTT-ID set to 63.
RX Audio Basic
interface X10
Radio functionality related to RX Audio Basic interface X10 remains

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 Inband Signaling), the tones are present only on RX Audio Basic interface
X10.

The radio is equipped with two different partitions; each of them can be
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 XU 4200 contains 3 modules (receiver, transmitter and
MMI modules), there is a partition 1 and a partition 2 in each module.

Software Download
USB Download
R&S XU 4200
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
via LAN
The software download on the LAN interface can be done in parallel to the
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
mechanism
The radio is equipped with a recovery mechanism. In two defined situations,

the radio will automatically switch from one partition and try to boot the
other, currently an inactive partition:
1.
2.
The radio is rebooted after a software update and this reboot fail.
The user manually switches the partition and the succeeding reboot
fails.
Note: The normal booting time of the radio is less than 1 minute.

Checking the CBIT State
Displayed warnings
and/or error
messages
For detection of device and system failures, continuous built-in test (CBIT)
functions are implemented in the equipment.
The CBIT starts directly after switching on the transceiver
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.

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
triggers
There are two main radio restart 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)
In order to recognize the exact trigger of the radio restart, it is necessary to

analyze Event logs of the TX and RX modules 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
351 TX PART a b c indication of TX booted partition (TX only)
439 RX PART a b c indication of RX booted partition (RX only)

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:

Power level set:
Low (see chapter 3.4.7.2)
Mode:

Radio is keyed ON, e.g. via function Test PTT, which delivers an
unmodulated CW signal (see chapter 3.4.7.4.1).
Measure frequency at antenna X3 and adjust TCXO value using

the Service & Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200 (see chapter 3.3).
The step width (1 bit) for the adjustment is approximately 11 Hz. Adjust
it only in small steps and do not detune the TCXO to the extreme
positions, because the internal reference on the RF module could
unlock here. (CBIT error 0315, see chapter 4.2.1).

necessary. We recommend a further adjustment interval of 3 years in order
to ensure the specified frequency accuracy.
Note: If the radio is started at low temperatures (approximately 20 C),
the frequency of the OCXO is far from its nominal value. This causes the
generation of the CBIT message 0315 TX INT REF UNLOCK. When the
OCXO is warmed up, this message will disappear. This is a typical behavior
of radios with the OCXO installed and not an indication of a radio failure.

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, or a high VSWR value on the transmitter. 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
the air intake
Inspect the air intake on the front panel for dust build-up and clean it if
necessary. The inspection interval depends on the environmental conditions
under which the transceiver 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
main and PSU fans
If a fan wears out, it is recommended to exchange the fan to prevent the

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 transmitter:
0103 MAIN FAN WARNING, possibly in conjunction with a temperature

warning 0317 PA TEMP WARNING or 0319 TX TEMP WARNING
0201 PSU FAN WARNING, possibly in conjunction with a temperature

warning 0203 PSU TEMP WARNING
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.

List of Remote Control Commands\List of Remote Control Commands "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 and specified in a separate interface control document
(ICD).
The commands on the LAN interface between the radio and a VDL ground
computer are specified in a separate ICD.
Please contact your sales representative to obtain the ICD or MIB
documents.
