SAFETY GUIDELINES

SAFETY GUIDELINES

WARNING - Do not crush, disassemble, reverse polarity, incinerate,
or mutilate the lithium-ion battery. Do not expose to fire or temperatures above 160 °F (71 °C). The battery can vent, rupture, or explode, releasing toxic material which may cause injury or death to personnel. In case material is released or spilled, evacuate and allow vapors to dissipate. Increase ventilation and DO NOT inhale vapors. Notify safety personnel of release or spills.
CAUTION - ACID CONTAMINATES LITHIUM-ION BATTERIES. Every effort must be made to keep lithium-ion batteries isolated from lead-acid batteries because lead-acid batteries contain sulfuric acid. DO NOT use the same tools and materials for both types of batteries. Any trace of acid or acid fumes will permanently damage lithium-ion batteries on contact.
WARNING - A damaged lithium-ion battery that is exposed to water could cause a fire or explosion, causing personal injury. Never expose batteries to any amount of water at any time. Replace batteries with cracked or damaged cases immediately.
WARNING - A partially discharged or damaged lithium battery is considered to be hazardous waste that can cause personal injury.
Do not dispose of lithium-ion batteries in uncontrolled trash.
WARNING - Use only battery chargers approved by Harris. Never attempt to modify the battery or charger. Doing so may result in damage to the battery, the radio, or cause personal injury to the user. Do not attempt to recharge a disposable AA battery.
WARNING - RF shock could occur from coming into contact with the antenna while radio is transmitting. The radio could be transmitting with or without activating the keyline via Push-To-Talk (PTT).
WARNING - Operating RF transmitting devices such as radios and cellular phones in or around fuel, weapons, or ordinance could cause serious injury or death. Follow all local directives and established safety procedures when operating any RF transmitting devices in these circumstances.

SINCGARS WAVEFORM

SINCGARS WAVEFORM

Single Channel Ground and Airborne Radio System (SINCGARS) Frequency Hopping consists of two operating modes: Frequency Hopping (FH) and Single Channel (SC). Frequency range is
30.000 MHz to 87.975 MHz
A SINCGARS FH net typically uses a MASTER SINCGARS radio as the Net Control Station (NCS) to maintain Global Time-of-Day (GTOD) synchronization and control SINCGARS net operational procedures. All other radios in the net are normally Member stations.
A SINCGARS SC net can be used for Analog FM voice operations in Plain Text (PT), and Continuously Variable Slope Delta (CVSD) voice operations in Cipher Text (CT). A Single Channel net can also be used for performing data operations.
A radio designated as MASTER is responsible for maintaining accurate SINCGARS Global Time-of-Day and operational control of the Frequency Hopping net.
Master Station Operation - Requires operator to set ZULU Universal Time Coordinated as close as possible and use proper Julian date.
Member Station Operation - Operator should set time to ± four (4) seconds for a hot start capability or to ± one (1) minute for Late Net Entry. Cueing procedures must be used if accurate time cannot be obtained.

HAVEQUICK WAVEFORM

HAVEQUICK WAVEFORM
HAVEQUICK (HQ) operations require Time of Day (TOD) and Word of Day (WOD) configuration. HQ frequencies (225.000 MHz to 399.975 MHz) are automatically determined from internal frequency tables. The HQ Net Number is used to determine which frequency table is indexed.
TOD and WOD information must be programmed for all HQ operations. HQ TOD synchronization must be set every time the radio is powered up. The radio can send or receive HQ TOD while in Initial (INIT) mode on any AM HQ frequency and also perform time synchronization in HOP mode.

SATURN WAVEFORM

SATURN WAVEFORM
SATURN extends HAVEQUICK by providing only hopping nets above and beyond what the existing HAVEQUICK waveform provides. SATURN is a 25 kHz bandwidth Fast Frequency Hopping net with a digital waveform and Minimum Shift Keying modulation. SATURN employs advanced ECCM which allows it to operate effectively in jammed environments. SATURN also allows the user to break in and replace an established call at the receiver whether or not he is tracking that call.
SATURN utilizes the same time format, Word of Day, and net number configuration parameters as HAVEQUICK. The actual over-the-air format is different and SATURN is FM based.
SATURN supports full-band (25 kHz) hopping nets for voice and data and sub-band (6.25 kHz) hopping nets for co-site applications. Operation is in the 225.000 MHz - 399.975 MHz frequency band (UHF/FM) using Frequency Hopping for anti-jam capability.
SATURN TOD is established using fixed-frequency TOD transfer from the CALL menu, manual entry or automatic synchronization from GPS.

SATURN Break-in

When a radio receives a synchronous break-in transmission, three tones will be heard at the beginning and SY (for synchronous break-in) will flash in the break-in status field. At the end of the break-in, two tones will be heard and the break-in status will return to normal (EN). If PTT is activated prior to the end of message termination signal, then some receivers may establish a break-in condition while others may not.

HPW WAVEFORM

HPW WAVEFORM
HPW is supported in SATCOM and LOS operation from 243.0000 MHz - 270.0000 MHz and 291.0000 MHz - 318.0000 MHz. It is designed to provide fast, reliable data messaging and file transfer between two or more computers via a radio network. A separate TSK is used, and TOD synchronization (within ±30 seconds) is also required for HPW operation. HPW uses KG-84C encryption in Redundant Mode 1 synchronization for improved data rates over UHF satellite links. TSV is also supported.
HPW only supports data communications, and is used with WMT software RF-6760W-HPW or other applications using IP through the radio’s PPP port. AN/PRC-117G is also interoperable with the AN/PRC-117F, AN/PRC-152, and AN/PRC-152A in HPW mode.
HPW offers two main modes of data operation:
With WMT, messages are sent and received through a personal computer loaded with a standard email client. In addition to radio configuration described in this manual, WMT operation requires that the user has configured the client to work with Harris Wireless Message Terminal software. Refer to the Harris RF-6760W-HPW Users Manual (10515-0320-4200) for configuration of email client software packages.
If the radio is equipped with the optional HPW IP feature, the user is allowed to interface with any IP-based application. In IP mode, the IP address of the Peer PC (PC connected to the radio) must be configured. This is to distinguish it on the network from other PCs connected to other radios. Do the following to set the data port:
[PGM] > RADIO CONFIG > GENERAL CONFIG > DATA PORT CONFIG > PPP CONFIG > NET CONFIG.
53
AN/PRC-117G FIELD REFERENCE
HPW WAVEFORM
IP Address - The IP of the radio (leave as default, for example: 10.0.0.1). Note that the IP address of the radio can stay the same on all radios because this is the PPP address. Since the radios are physically connected to the serial port of the PC, a unique IP address is not necessary for each radio.
Peer IP Address - Enter IP of Host PC (for example:
10.0.0.2)
Subnet Mask - Leave as default (for example:
255.255.000.000]
Gateway Address - Leave as default (for example:
000.000.000.000)
Refer to
SATCOM Ping Test for satellite ping testing.

HPW Setup

a. Configure the HPW settings. Proceed through the setup
menus that are described in this section to configure all HPW radio parameters as desired.
b. Set the radio’s data port to PPP. Make sure that the
connector data port is configured for PPP operation.
c. Load a Traffic Encryption Key. Confirm that the keys
have loaded properly. TSV requires a DS-101 load with a KEK loaded before TEK.
d. Load a Transmission Security Key. Confirm that the keys
have loaded properly.
e. Select the HPW mode based on satellite type and
communication conditions. Select the HPW channel rate: Narrowband, Wideband, and UHF Follow On (UFO). HPW can make use of either a narrowband (5 kHz) or a wideband (25 kHz) channel. HPW has an auto-baud capability built-in that will attempt to send data as quickly
54
AN/PRC-117G FIELD REFERENCE
HPW WAVEFORM
as possible within each of the three rates. These speed settings will be displayed as low, medium and high on the console.
f. Synchronize HPW Time of Day. Ensure that all radios in
the net have HPW Time Of Day set to within ±30 seconds of each other. If using GPS, configure the System Clock parameters and program HPW to use the System Clock [OPT] > HPW TOD > CONFIGURE HPW TOD. ZULU Universal Time Coordinated (UTC) GPS time should be used.
If not using GPS, then all net users must synchronize HPW time to be within ±30 seconds of each other. Radios that have mismatched HPW TODs will not be able to communicate. This will appear to the user as message traffic that is directed to random addresses that are not correct for the HPW net in use.

HPW Compatibility

To allow the AN/PRC-117G, AN/PRC-117F, AN/PRC-152, and AN/PRC-152A to be interoperable in HPW mode, follow these configuration guidelines:
On the AN/PRC-117F radio, make sure MODULATION MODE (in the Data/Voice menu) is configured to be HPW and not Trellis Code Modulation (TCM), and NET TYPE is configured for LOS FIX FREQUENCY.
On the AN/PRC-117G (or AN/PRC-152 and AN/PRC- 152A) radios, make sure NETWORK TYPE is configured to be LOS, and HPW BAUD RATE is configured for WB.
Operating frequency must be in the 225.0000 - 511.9875 MHz range.

IW WAVEFORM

IW WAVEFORM
IW is a UHF satellite waveform that provides several important improvements over DAMA for tactical operations on both 25 kHz and 5 kHz satellite channels. IW employs a more flexible Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) protocol that provides improved access and allows several stations to share the same satellite channel. Refer to
SATCOM Ping Test for satellite ping testing.
IW supports:
Use of 5 kHz or 25 kHz satellite channels, as defined by MIL-STD-188-181C and 188-183B.
Use of Harris external 50 W Power Amplifier (PA) or other Joint Interoperability Test Command (JITC) tested PAs.
Monitoring of the IW channel controller signal from the satellite, automatically acquiring the satellite, and then automatically connecting to the voice or data Service defined in the Satellite Assignment Authorization (SAA) message.
Inter-operates with DAMA by the IW controller synchronizing IW signals to that of the DAMA service slot.
Use of Advanced Narrowband Digital Voice Terminal (ANDVT), VINSON, or KG-84 encryption.
MELP improves voice quality using ANDVT encryption.
Increased data throughput with CPM modems using KG- 84 encryption.
When used in Single Access Service mode, IW can support MIL-STD 188-181C protocols.
