12.1.5 Deviation, Imbalancement and MPX Power

The MPX power is estimated using the available separate components infos present in the MPX signal. The Pilot power, Rds power and Audio power is integrated inside a 1 minute window and referenced to a 19 kHz single tone power. This measurement estimates with a good precision the MPX Power only under typical nominal operative conditions.

12.1.6 RDS Group Transmission Alarm

An alarm is now included to monitor the transmitted Rds groups. A mask allows to define all groups present in the transmission and an alarm is raised if after the timeout one or more groups hasn't been received. The Group Mask is an 32bits integer in HEX. Every bit in this mask is referred to a Rds group. The Group Mask bit0 is the 0A group, the bit1 is the 0B group, the bit2 is the 1A and so on … . Example: 11 (0A and 2A)

Available the status variable and the trap as well as all parameters to control the state (Timeout, Validation, Hold and Mask)

12.1.7 The Alternative Channel and the Adjacent Channel

The Adjacent Channel is the measure of the level closer to -100kHz and +100 kHz respect the fundamental carrier frequency measured. This measure could indicate that at +100 kHz or -100kHz there is a carrier (or another kind of disturb) which could affect the measurement of the fundamental frequency.

The Alternative Channel instead is exactly the same extent as set out above, but measured and +200 kHz-200 kHz. It is shown, however, only the worst value, that is the most high and thus may cause more noise than our fundamental frequency.

12.1.8 Tuner Data – AF01-32 AF33-64

Before any explanation about how does Wolf 1MS/2MS decode and show AF frequency, some information on how does AF Lists are encoded by RDS Encoders.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------There are two ways to transmit lists of alternative frequencies: Method A and Method B. In both cases the lists should include only those frequencies for the nearest transmitters and repeaters (with overlapping coverage areas). Generally speaking, Method A is used when the list contains no more than 25 frequencies, and Method B when the list is longer (for a maximum of 24 lists). Method B is recommended when splitting areas or when different programs are broadcast.

NOTE: use of encoding method A or B is not explicitly assigned by a dedicated signal to the receiver, as the latter is capable of identifying which method is used by analyzing the transmitted data structure (whether or not they are organized in pairs).

METHOD A Compile the AF1 list assigning the tuning frequency (i.e. the frequency carrying the list of alternative frequencies) in the first position, and then continue in strictly increasing order with the alternative frequencies transmitting exactly the same program. We recommend recording the alternative frequencies (those of adjacent transmitters and repeaters with overlapping coverage areas) on each transmitter, being careful that the first position indicates the frequency carrying the list of alternative frequencies.

METHOD B As mentioned earlier, Method B is used with high numbers of alternative frequencies and/or when the transmitter also has frequencies that broadcast different radio program at various times of day (splitting, local programming, etc.).

In the latter instance, the mobile receiver should check whether the AF is broadcasting the same content before selecting another frequency.

Each list begins with the tuning frequency (for which the list is valid) and then contains up to 12 pairs of frequencies in sequence, each containing the tuning frequency and an alternate. If there are more than 12 possible alternative frequencies, the list continues in other lists in the same manner.

The order of the frequencies in each pair follow the rules below:

- If the order is increasing, the alternative frequency broadcasts the same programming as the tuning frequency.

- If the order is decreasing, the two frequencies have different programming

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

PUMA WEB PAGE

| PUMA WEB PAGE

By pressing AF01-32 it is possible to see all the decoded value by the RDS data Stream from Puma. The maximum number of AF are up to 64 with EON service (reported next chapter).

(A) (R) (?)(B)

The AF lists can be ordered and see nearby each single AF some letters as reported in the picture. The letters between brackets represents different insertion method.

(A) The AF list has been inserted as Method A. Respect the main AF frequency the AF are in increasing order with alternative frequency transmitting exactly the same program.

(B) The AF list has been inserted as Method B. In particular List 2 has been inserted in Method B with increasing order, that means that the AF is broadcasting the same program.

(R) This indication means that the order of the AF is not increasing but decreasing. In this case it means that the AF is broadcasting for a part of the day a different program, and sometimes should have different program. The example is in List-4

(?) This question mark means that the AF list has been inserted in a wrong way. It is not Method A increasing mode, it is not Method B increasing/decreasing mode. So it means that the AF list has been inserted in a wrong mode.

NOTE: The refresh of lists AF can be done manually by pressing the "Reset AF List" or whenever a change is detected by PI Code lists are placed in AF mode growing.

12.2.3 Note about NTP Settings and behavior

To activate the NTP auto synchronization set a not zero value in AutoRequest Time. After a modification of this parameter or a modification of the NTP IP address, the Puma will try to synchronize the system clock. After the first synchronization, the server will be contacted automatically with the selected period in minutes.

After a system reboot or restart, if AutoRequestTime is activated, in the first operative minute the NTP-V3 server will be contacted, as well as after the selected period.

The NtpSynch status starts as OK (synchronized) at the system startup, but after the first synchronization attempt it will show the real status. Every NtpSync status variation is signaled (if enabled) with the NtpFailureNotificationTrap.

An NTP synchronization failure will be indicated with a red alarm line under the Date/Time field. Moreover, Date and time will blink in the display panel in case of synchronization failure.

Starting from Fw release 1.0.4 the NTP behavior has been modified. Puma tries for 3 minutes a replies from the NTP server before reporting an error. In previous release Puma replies immediately about the NTP loss. In case of alarm, Puma tries each single minute until Puma gets a reply from NTP server.

With this new feature, random errors caused by NTP loss are no longer reported. No more parameters have been added to mask this kind of alarm.

PUMA WEB PAGE

| PUMA WEB PAGE

12.2.4 Note about Activity Heart Signal

This trap will be sent periodically to indicate that the system is OK and the Puma host process is able to communicate with all its interfaces without apparent problems. One trap will be sent at every change of the time parameter or at the system start-up (few seconds after the cold start SNMP trap), as well as according to the period selected. This Trap will not be replayed.

The value “0” means function disabled. A different value indicates the period in minutes of the signal trap. In the example tested the period is 10 minutes.

13.3.3 How to logout a user from Puma

Logout can be happen for 3 different reason, that are also reported in the table below.

N°

Condition

User manually press Logout

The user take no action for at least 60 minutes

Two user with same username are logged in, from 2 different position, and one of this press logout

13.4 GENERAL CONSIDERATION ABOUT USER LOGGED IN AND NON LOGGED

Once a Puma is connected in a network, by using a simple web browser it is possible to “surf” in the Puma and explore all the function. This general consideration must be taken in mind when a Puma is used.

N°

No User logged in Puma

Note

It is possible to see and browse all the Home, Tuner data information.

No timing limitation

In the Home web page it is possible to start playing the streaming for Audio-1 and Audio-2. If a countdown is allowed, after pressing PLAY, the countdown will start to count down and at the end the streaming will be set to OFF. If no countdown is set, the streaming will be never stop.

In the Tuner Data a non-logged user can enter, and browse inside the submenu MAIN – AF01-32 – AF33-64 – EON. The button STATS is not available. The non-logged user can see and browse but in read-only mode. There is no way to make changes to the measures or Puma behaviour.

Once no user is logged in, the Puma shows

N°

User logged in Puma

Note

It is possible to see and browse all the Home, Tuner data information.

Timing limitation to 60 minutes. After this time, the user automatically logged out

In the Tuner Data a logged user can enter, and browse inside the submenu MAIN – AF01-32 – AF33-64 – EON. A RDS Data Reset button appears, and allows the user to reset all the RDS information and restart the RDS data collection.

The user can enter in the Settings as per the Rights allowed by the Administrator.

Timing limitation to 60 minutes. After this time, the user automatically logged out.

Two or more SAME Username can be logged in and works together, in different place and using different web browser

If one of the two (or more) user press Logout, ALL the other “same-user” connected are logged out.

It is possible to see what user is actually logged in

13.5 DATA EXPORT AND IMPORT

A new feature still under development, is related to data import and export on Puma‘s SD Card and PC.

13.5.1 On SD Card

The Export allows the user to save the complete Puma configuration in a SD Card. Moreover, also MAC Address is exported and saved, so this function allows the user to create a complete “clone” of the Puma. This can be useful, once a Puma is completely configured to store data on the SD Card, so in case of fault the SD Card can be removed and inserted in a new Puma equipment and using the Import function all data can be retrieved and get a complete clone of the faulty equipment. To achieve this function the user must access via front panel, “SECURE DIGITAL CARD MANAGER” and select IMPORT – EXPORT – FORMAT

13.5.2 Using web browser

Via Web browser it is possible to download or upload a configuration, save and store in a PC as a common Json file . Same for Access Log in TXT and same for Trap Event Log as TXT log

13.5.3 Network section

By pressing this button it is possible to access and modify the value for Ethernet -1 and Ethernet -2. Can be set IP Address, Subnet mark, and Gateway for each network card. Once the modifying has been done, press “Change ETH1 & Reboot” or “Change ETH2 and Reboot”. The equipment will be rebooted and after restart modifying will be applied. System Reboot button restart the device

13.6 SETTINGS – TUNER

This page allows the user to manage all the parameters and alarms managed by Puma. The MAIN page shows and give the users the capability to set the general parameters as GLOBAL SETTINGS and RECEIVER DEMODULATION SETTINGS of the Puma.

13.6.1 Tuner Main

In this page it is possible to set the behavior of the Tuner and each single parameter it is reported below:

13.6.2 Tuning Mode

By using this parameter it is possible to change the tuning mode that should be OFF – Static – Scan – Smart Scan.

OFF

In OFF the tuner is unavailable

STATIC

in Static the tuner remain fixed on a single frequency that is depending by the parameter Static Channel Index

SCAN

In Scan mode the tuner starts to scan the FM band, from channel 1 up to the <Last Channel Scanning Index>

SMART SCAN

In smart mode the channel scan time is adjusted automatically according to instantaneous measurements requirements.

13.6.3 Smart Scan

The smart scan is an scan evolution method and “smart” mode to check each single parameter of the checked frequency: if during a scan, a single parameter of the scanned frequency is out-of-range the Puma should decide to remain more time (in seconds) on the checked frequency, in order to get the correct value, or exclude a false-positive alarm.

Practical example: a typical case should be the decoding of the ODA service in RDS, or a PI Code, or any value

checked. If the decoding gives an “error” the Puma can stay more seconds on this frequency, and wait in order to get the correct value, and don’t generate an error (via snmp trap) that can overload the NMS system. In the real fact the checked

valued is correct, but sometimes due to a lot of unpredictable situation, this value should be considered as an error.

13.6.4 Deemphasys

The internal tuner Deemphasis value can be set between 50uS or 75uS accordingly to the country/region where the Puma has been installed.

13.6.5 External Attenuator

In order to provide to Puma a correct RF input level, in case an external RF attenuator is required, it is necessary to insert here the same attenuation level introduced by the external RF attenuator.

13.6.6 Global Tuner Mask Mode

By using this settings it is possible to set the behavior of the errors, if these should be masked or not.

Masked

Mask all alarms with priority over any individual configuration. Mask an alarm means

“NO errors are reported and NO errors are visible on the webpage”

Unmasked

Unmasks all alarms with priority over any individual configuration. Unmask an alarm

means that “the alarms are reported and visible on the webpage”

Severity-1

Mask all alarms with severity equal to 1 (The others errors are not masked)

Severity-2

Mask all alarms with severity less than or equal to 2 (The others errors are not masked)

Severity-3

Mask all alarms with severity less than or equal to 3.

Individual

Masking

This parameter allows the user to set for each single parameter under control if the parameter must be masked or not.

It is possible to set for each single parameter under control the Masked or unmasked and the Severity Level on these value:

RFL2 – RFL1 / RFH1 – RFH2 – DEV – PILOT Low – PILOT – RDS Low – RDS – AUDIO Dev - AUDIO Left – AUDIO Right –AUDIO Ms - AUDIO Si - PI – PS – TP - TA – CT – RT – AF – EON – IH - TMC – RT+ - ODA1 – ODA2 – BLER in the column MASK.

13.6.7 The meaning of “Mask” on each single parameter under control

On each single parameter under control it is also possible to set the if the single parameter can be Masked, unmasked, Severity1 – Severity2 – Severity3 or RFL2. In this case each single parameter follow an Individual Masking.

The severity level is generally assigned in order to have a relation between the parameter under control and the priority. All the parameters involved in Severity1 – Severity2 – Severity3 can be masked or not.

Masked

Alarm IS masked (if Global Tuner Mask Mode is set in individual masking)

Unmasked

Alarm IS NOT masked (if Global Tuner Mask Mode is set in individual masking)

Severity-1

The Alarm is masked only if Global Tuner Mask Mode is set on a Severity < or equal to 1 (it means always not masked)

Severity-2

The Alarm is masked only if Global Tuner Mask Mode is set on a Severity < or equal to 2

Severity-3

The Alarm is masked only if Global Tuner Mask Mode is set on a Severity < or equal to 3 (it means always masked)

RFL2 Mask

Masked if the Alarm RFL2 Mask is active. (see Note2 below)

Note1: it is not possible to mix the (Severity1-Severity2-Severity3) with Individual Masking Note2: in order to work properly the RFL2 Mask requires that validation is less of RFL2 and Hold time is greater than the

individual alarms that use this type of mask.

Example 1: Masked, Unmasked and Individual Masking. This schemes shows from left to right the flow of each single Alarm. In the first row the example is the PI Code. Once it is reported an error (PI) if the Parameter Mask in the single

Parameter under control is MASKED but the Global Tuner Mask Mode is INDIVIDUAL MASKING = NO error report

Example 2: Severity-1, Severity-2, Severity3. This schemes shows from left to right the flow of each single Alarm.

Example 3: RFL2 MASK This schemes shows from left to right the flow of each single Alarm.

Note1 There is no control check on input field. Please pay attention to the correct typing. So, for example, a PI Ref. 5*00 will match with 5000, 5100, 5200, etc.

It is possible to replace more than one field at a time (up to all!). An example: PI Ref: 5*** matches with PI values from 5000 up to 5FFF.

Example:

The PI Code can be Ref1 or Ref2. If a PI Code is different from Ref1 and Ref2 and alarm is generated. This setting is usefull to broadcaster that change the PI Code during regional broadcasting.

Note2 It is possible to replace any of the four digits of PI fields with a wildcard (represented with an asterisk). So, for example, a PI Ref. 5*00 will match with 5000, 5100, 5200, etc.

It is possible to replace more than one field at a time (up to all!). An example: PI Ref: 5*** matches with PI values from 5000 up to 5FFF.

Please focus on comparison mechanism: received PI will be compared first with RefMask1 and then with RefMask2, so this case:

Ref1=5*02 Ref2=54*2 PI=5712 raise an alarm, but Ref1=5**2 Ref2=1234 PI=5712 matches. Note3

The PI Code can be compared with Ref1 or Ref2. If a PI Code is different from Ref1 and Ref2 and alarm is generated. This setting is useful to broadcaster that change the PI Code during regional broadcasting.

Note4 If a Reference is empty no comparison with received PI occurs but only other RefMask is taken into account for a match. If each Reference Mask are empty no comparison with PI occurs at all.

13.6.23 RDS PS (Program Service)

If the Timeout field is =0, the system compares the received PS with 4 inserted Ref1, Ref2, ref3, Ref4. At least one of the 4 PS must match to don’t generate an alarm. If no PS (Ref1, Ref2, ref3, Ref4) match an alarm is generated.

If the Timeout field is > 0 the system checks that there is a change of contents of the PS within the time limit specified by the Timeout field and the 4 PS (Ref1, Ref2, ref3, Ref4) otherwise an alarm is generated.

13.6.24 Note 1: Particular case for PS check

N° DESCRIPTION

BEHAVIOUR

Timeout > 0 and PsRef1 (NOT empty) and PsRef2 = NULL (empty)

Puma search for PSRef1 into PS occurrence. It will can be a sub-string. This solution is useful when PS contains leading or tail blanks.

After a time = Timeout if no match occurred, an alarm will be generated;

Timeout > 0 and PsRef1 = NULL (empty) and PsRef2 not empty

Puma search for PsRef2 into PS. It will can be a sub-string occurrence.

After a time = Timeout if no match occurred, an alarm will be generated;

Timeout > 0 and PsRef1 not empty and PsRef2 not empty

Puma search for PsRef1 AND PsRef2 into PS occurrence. If no match of BOTH PsRef occurred into Timeout, an alarm will be generated;

Timeout = 0 and PsRef1 not empty and PsRef2 = NULL (empty)

Puma search for PsRef1 into PS (it will can be a sub-string) occurrence. 1 second validation and hold time is required

Timeout = 0 and PsRef1 = NULL (empty) PsRef2 not empty

Puma search for PsRef2 into PS (it will can be a sub-string) occurrence. 1 second validation and hold time is required

Timeout > 0 and PsRef1 = NULL (empty) PsRef2 = NULL (empty)

Puma search for PS content changes (useful for PS Scroll monitoring) into Timeout.

Timeout = 0 PsRef1=NULL (empty) PsRef2 = NULL (empty)

No action taken into account.

Upper Apex. What does it mean?

The upper apex character ¯¯ appears when some words are inserted in the Ref field box. This is used ONLY to count the number of words (up to 8) inserted in the field.

13.6.25 Note 2: PS Settings

As already specified for the alarms driven by an missing truth condition, the invalid condition is often not related to a precise timing. In this case if at the end of the timeout all conditions required aren’t verified the alarm is raised and the start of the failure is placed the second after the last valid condition has been verified. The Ps in the varibind is sampled in this moment and so can be even a PS valid. Please consider this behavior definitive. About the alarm triggering rules, please read again the matching criteria for rising an alarm.

Puma can perform various type of checks on received PS. As can be seen in fig. below, there are four Reference Masks (set by default to ‘********’), a CharRef (an asterisk by default), a Timeout field and an Hold field.

System can compare received PS with UP TO four PS Reference Masks. If a Ref Mask is empty no check is performed for that field. CharRef field specify a character (that can be chosen and modified by user) that can be used into PS Ref Masks as a WILDCARD. So, for example, if CharRef=’*’ and PS Ref 1 = “RADIO***” both received PS = “RADIOABC” that “RADIO123” match with Ref 1. Please pay attention to PS Ref field length. It can be from 1 up to 8 chars long.

Further inserted chars will be ignored. If a 8-chars long PS Ref is specified, the system check for a precise match with received PS (of course taking into account any wildcard occurrence), otherwise PS Ref is considered as a sub-string to be searched for into received PS (wildcard rules are still true). There are four types of operative scenario:

1. At least one PS Ref not empty. Timeout > 0. System compares received PS with all not empty PS and it search for at least a match with ALL not empty Ref mask in a

time under Timeout value. Example: Ref1=”RADIO1”, Ref2=”RADIO2”, Ref3=”RADIO3”, Ref4=”” (empty), Timeout=45

sec. Received PS must change in time and should contain “RADIO1”, “RADIO2” and “RADIO3” (not necessarily in this 3/3 order). System should recognize at least an occurrence of all three values in 45 seconds or an alarm condition raises up.

2. At least one PS Ref not empty. Timeout=0. System compares received PS with all not empty PS Ref (sub)string. If a match with anyone of them is found, no alarm condition is set, otherwise alarm rises up instantaneously.

3. ALL Ps Ref empty. Timeout > 0. System checks only for PS content variations (in a time not exceeding Timeout). This is useful for PS scrolling monitor.

4. ALL Ps Ref empty. Timeout=0. No check is performed by system. This is not a ‘real’ operative mode. NOTE: Ref Mask formed by 8 wildcards will match

anyway.
