2. Read current data from the HSD pot:
RI2CA9 A9 <rtn>reads current data at specified address range (A9 is location of the HSD pot)
3. Write new values to the HSD pot. The value from step 2 provides an initial set point. The command to
write a value is:
WI2C A9 xx <rtn>were xx is the hexadecimal value written to the HSD pot. Write new values
until the desired deviation is achieved.
4. Store the new value which achieves the desired deviation into permanent memory (novRAM) using the
following commands:
SI2CA6 2 5 <rtn> sets slave device for all subsequent read/write operations (A6 is EEprom)
WI2C 03 xx <rtn>writes new value of the HSD Pot in EEprom (03 is location of HS level)
RI2C03 03 <rtn>reads current value of the HSD Pot from EEprom (to check if written
correctly)

INTRODUCTION
4.0 INTRODUCTION
4.1 Overview
The SitePro Controller was developed by M/A-COM Private Radio Systems as the next
generation trunking controller. This GETC replacement increases site reliability and
security, and enables new site features.
Ethernet Hub
Site Interface
Module
BSL
SitePro Controller EA101209V1 is the distributed control equipment used at the base
TM
station of an EDACS® or ProVoice
communication system. The SitePro Controller
interprets and directs inbound calls, processes these calls, and issues appropriate
commands about how calls are handled. The SitePro Controller is the heart of an EDACS
or ProVoice critical communications system (Figure 1 - SitePro/Site Interface Module
(SIM) Controller).
The CSD allows access to the user and site database utilized by the SitePro Controller.
The SitePro Controller offers the following features:
1. Eight Priority Levels – The SitePro Controller prioritizes calls from a list of
individual and group identification numbers (LIDs and GIDs) for use during queuing.
This prioritized list ensures that higher priority calls are processed first for critical
communications.
2. Call Validation – The SitePro Controller checks the ID of every radio attempting to
access the system. An invalid ID attempting to use the system will be denied access,
eliminating system security breeches.
3. Unit Enable/Disable – The SitePro Controller has the capability to disable and
enable radios over the air. This feature prevents intruders from accessing the system
with stolen or misplaced radios.
4. Dynamic Regroup – This feature allows the SitePro Controller to reconfigure radio-
operating groups in response to critical emergency situations.
5. Recent Priority Increments – The SitePro Controller is able to increase the priority
level of ID’s that have recently placed calls. This allows ongoing conversations to
have a higher priority.
INTRODUCTION
6. Local Telephone Interconnect – The SitePro Controller supports local telephone
interconnect. Calls can be made to and from an individual or to a group in an EDACS
or ProVoice system.
7. Multiple Channel Partition (MCP) – Using MCP, the SitePro Controller is capable
of segregating sets of channels for exclusive use by select users. Up to 15 distinct
partitions may be defined to ensure channel availability for critical communications.
8. Toll Call Restriction - The SitePro Controller is able to restrict Hotline telephone
access by radio for both local and long distance calls.
9. Patch and Simulselect - The SitePro Controller allows console dispatchers to
"patch" together different talkgroups. This feature allows maximum response to
emergency situations.
10. Site Configuration - The SitePro Controller is the repository for critical site
configuration data resident on the Communications Systems Director (CSD).
11. Redundant Downlink GETC
9600-baud Integrated Multisite and Console Controller (IMC) link for
communications control from the repeater site to the dispatch center site or multisite
switch.

4.3 Options and Accessories
Site Sentry Alarm and Control System – The Site Sentry alarm and control equipment
enables the SitePro Controller to monitor key aspects of the site operation, including the
following:
(Optional) - A Downlink GETC shelf provides the
1. Remote reporting of inputs from customer-specific alarm sensors.
2. Remote control of relays that operate customer-specific devices.
MM101271V1 R2A11
INTRODUCTION
4.4 SUMMARY
3. Diagnostic testing of system operation.
4. Local display of system status
The Site Sentry also keeps track of transmitter performance and the antenna system. The
parameters monitored to verify the system health are transmitter power, forward and
reflected antenna power, and antenna Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR).
Site SureCall Test Call System – Site SureCall allows remote channel monitoring and
testing of repeater stations via a Test Unit (TU) radio.
Hotline Local Telephone Interconnect – The SitePro Controller provides the processing
for Hotline. Calls can be made from the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) to
an individual or group as well as from a radio to the PSTN.
The SitePro Controller provides the latest control technology to ensure that the EDACS
or ProVoice critical communication system is unmatched in system performance. The
SitePro Controllers are capable of maintaining the following critical communication
features even if the SIM, due to a temporary failure, is taken out or service:
1. Eight Priority Levels
2. Call Validation
3. Recent Priority Increment
4. Multiple Channel Partition
5. Patch and Simulselect

. Production versions of this shelf consist of the
The SitePro Controller can be installed and configured for several different station
applications. Initially the basic configuration is for the EDACS Station Trunking Shelf.
This shelf enables the station to function as part of an EDACS trunked communication
system by providing digital signaling and control of the associated base station. In
addition, the SitePro Controller provides an interface between the base station repeater,
the Site Interface Module (SIM) and other channel SitePro Controller(s) at the same
time.
5.2 COMPATIBILITY AND MIGRATION
The SitePro Controller, with the exception of the Site Controller, is compatible with
GETC compatible devices as follows:
• Downlink GETC
• SIM
• SureCall
• Hotline
• Site Sentry
2
The Service Technician(s) should always consult any application manuals, Software Release Notes (SRN), and Specific
Customer information provided with the system whenever the equipment requires service or repair.
MM101271V1 R2A13
MAINTENANCE AND SERVICE
The requirements for compatibility and migration are that:
1. The SitePro Controller will only switch modes if the Control Channel fails or a
configuration command is received. The SitePro Controller will, however, change
modes as currently implemented by the GETC. For example, the SitePro Controller
Control Channel can switch modes, without failure or configuration command, if it
detects carrier.
2. For High Speed Data Modulation, the SitePro Controller has a separate Analog Board
(A4) providing software configurable filtering, which is compatible with high-speed
data types.
5.3 SYSTEM EXTERNAL INTERFACES
(SitePro Trunked Interface Specification)
The following is a description of all electrical connections to the SitePro Controller. All
input/output definitions are relative to the SitePro Controller. This configuration supports
EDACS, Simulcast and Voted systems. The analog and digital control signals provide an
interface to a variety of base stations and are grouped by functionality.
5.3.1 Station Control
•LocRxAudio - Analog input
MASTR III level = 1 Vrms, Zin = 100Kohm, bias = ac coupled
This signal is unfiltered local receiver audio from the base station also called
Volume/Squelch or VolSqHi and carries either High Speed Data (control
signaling/digital audio) or Low Speed Data with analog audio. The two components
are internally separated.
•RUS - Digital TTL active high input
This signal is the Receiver UnSquelch signal from the base station and is activated
when a carrier of sufficient signal strength (as determined by the squelch pot setting)
is present.
•LSD - Analog output
level = 300 mVrms
Zout = 100ohm, bias = 0 volts
This signal is the Low Speed Data output to the base station. The signal is
conditioned through a low pass filter to remove frequency components above 300 Hz
to allow multiplexing with analog voice audio.
•HSD - Analog output

6.0 DESCRIPTION
The SitePro Controller is essentially a processor with audio filtering and specialized I/O
capability. Flexibility in design allows the SitePro Controller to be configured to function
in many applications as suggested in the APPLICATIONS section. The SitePro
Controller software is stored in flash memory. Configuration Data is stored in
NOnVolatile Random Access Memory (NOVRAM).
The Controller Board, Rockwell Modem, Analog Board, Power Supply, Display Module,
and Display Board are mounted on a tray and enclosed in shelf (Figure 2 - SitePro
Controller Shelf Assembly). The SitePro Controller shelf is a one-rack unit assembly
(1.75-inches x 19-inches), which mounts in a standard 19-inch wide equipment
cabinet/rack. This shelf does not slide out, but by reversing the mounting ears can be
mounted approximately 2/3 of the way out of the cabinet for troubleshooting.
Controller Board A2 uses Dual High Speed Diodes BAV99’s for surge protection on all
TTL inputs. However, maximum surge protection is achieved when the SitePro
Controller is grounded to the cabinet earth-ground using Lightning Protection Circuitry
Ground Kit 344A4500 and the Cabinet Grounding strap Kit 344A4730. Specific details
for installing these grounding kits are found in the LIGHTNING PROTECTION
section 10.0 of this manual.
DESCRIPTION
6.1 INDICATORS AND CONTROLS
This section describes the indicators and controls visible and accessible from the front
panel of the SitePro Controller Shelf Assembly.
There are two hinged doors on the front panel of the shelf assembly. Each door has a
window so that indicators mounted on Control Board A2 and Rockwell Modem Interface
Card A3 can be seen. Opening the Controller Board door provides access to Reset
Pushbutton switch S1. This door also provides access to PROGRAMMING and
DIAGNOSTIC SERIAL PORT J8. Programming is available through this port.
The circuit boards can be removed from the shelf assembly through these doors.
6.1.1 Indicators
6.1.1.1 Controller Board Power Indicator
Green LED indicator D12 provided on the Controller Board indicates when power is
applied to the shelf. This indicator is visible by looking diagonally through the window in
the hinged door on the front panel of the shelf.
6.1.1.2 Controller Board Status Indicators
Four Red LED status indicators L1 thru L4 (D1 thru D4) are visible through the window
in the hinged door. These indicators show the state of operation of the SitePro Controller.
The interpretation of these indicators depend on the system application (refer to the
SitePro Controller configuration manual for the specific application).
MM101271V1 R2A19
DESCRIPTION
Green ETHERNET indicators ETH0 and ETH1 are also visible through the window in
the hinged door. These indicators indicate when a compatible source is connected to
ETHERNET 1 or ETHERNET 2 ports.
There are six other LED indicators on the Controller Board that are not visible from the
front panel. Yellow LEDs D7 and D10 indicate when there is transmit activity on ETH0
and ETH1. Yellow LEDs D6 and D9 indicate when there is receive activity on ETH0
and ETH1. Green LEDs D5 and D8 indicate when there is link activity (refer to Ethernet
Ports, section 7.3.7).
6.1.1.3 Rockwell Modem Interface Card Indicators
There are five Red LED indicators on Rockwell Modem Interface Card A3. These LEDs
are visible through the window in the hinged door and indicate +5V, +12V, -12V, RLSD
and CTS respectively. Received Line Signal Detect (RLSD) indicates data is being
received. Clear-To-Send (CTS) indicates a control signal is being sent to the CPU
selector.
6.1.1.4 Display
Eight-character LED Display Board A6-A1 mounts between the two hinged doors on the
front panel of the SitePro Controller Shelf Assembly. Green LED D1 indicates POWER
ON to the shelf. This display displays Channel Status and Channel Information.
6.1.2 Controls
Reset Pushbutton Switch S1 is the only control available on the front panel of the
SitePro Controller Shelf Assembly. It is used to reboot the SitePro Controller.
6.2 ROCKWELL MODEM
The 9600 Baud Rockwell Modem Board RYTUZ 921 01/1 mounts on top of Modem
Interface Card A3 (ROA 117 2247). This Modem Board is used to generate a 9600 baud,
fast-train, synchronous, serial data stream suitable for transmission over audio (phone)
line or microwave link. The data stream is sent over a full-duplex, four-wire, dedicated
3002 grade telephone line.
Receive and Transmit Phone Data Lines are two balanced pairs carrying Modem data to
and from the station where the data is combined with station audio (voice) and routed to
the Remote Line input and Line output.
In addition to transformer isolation and conditioning provided by the SitePro Controller,
the modem provides automatic adaptive signal equalization. The Rockwell Modem
demodulates the input signal and the resulting data is transferred using a serial interface
between the Rockwell Modem and the controller.
The modem senses a received signal by initiating a training state upon detecting an
increase in the input signal level. The modem begins processing data at the end of the
training state if the input signal is still above the nominal -40 dBm receiving threshold
value. Otherwise, the modem returns to an idle mode at the end of the training state if the
input signal is below the nominal receiving threshold value.
20MM101271V1 R2A
6.3 LOW SPEED AND HIGH SPEED DATA FILTERS
6.3.1Low Speed Data Decode Filter
The Low Speed Data (LSD) Decode Filter, part of Analog Board A4, provides additional
filtering to remove voice-audio from the receiver unfiltered audio (vol/sq/hi), thus leaving
only the low-speed subaudible data for input to the microprocessor.
6.3.2 High Speed Data Encode Filter
The High Speed Data (HSD) Encode Filter, part of Analog Board A4, is configurable
based on personality data and shapes the data for the most efficient RF transmission. This
data can be control signaling or digital voice. The data is generated by the RF modem
under control of the 80C323 microprocessor.

Communication Modes available to the SitePro Controller are:
1. The SitePro Controller can communicate with other devices such as the
Communication System Director (CSD), IMC, and RF Station. Communication
occurs primarily through an RS-232C serial interface normally operating at 38.4
kilobaud. For a SitePro Controller interfacing with a Site Interface Module (SIM)
this is set to 38.4 kilobaud.
2. The SitePro Controller can communicate with other SitePro Controllers in the normal
mode of operation, over a Backup Serial Link (BSL). The link uses 0-13.8 VDC
levels and operates at 38.4 kilobaud and is ordinarily used in a bus configuration. For
a SitePro Controller interfacing with a SIM this is set to 38.4 kilobaud.
NOTE
3. A timing signal called the Frame Sync Line (FSL) helps arbitrate the use of the BSL
serial bus. The FSL is also used for timing purposes. In the station configuration, FSL
signals use 0-13 VDC levels to produce a periodic negative going pulse (2.5 ms wide
every 30 ms).
4. A 9600/4800 baud full duplex, synchronous communication interface over an RF
channel.
5. A 9600 baud phone line or microwave communication interface (this may be RS-232
or modem data) through a Rockwell Modem.
SitePro Controller interface functions vary from application to application and between
EDACS systems using MASTR III repeaters. It is necessary to refer to the Application
Configuration Manual for details regarding the specific hardware and software
configuration of the SitePro Controller.

CIRCUIT ANALYSIS
7.0 CIRCUIT ANALYSIS
The Theory of operation of each circuit board/card and module used in SitePro Controller
Shelf Assembly EA101209V1 is described in the following paragraphs. Refer to the
Block Diagram in Figures 3 and 4 and Outline and Schematic Diagrams as listed in the
TABLE OF CONTENTS.
The SitePro Controller is a Base Station Controller with redundant communication links
[Backup Serial Links (BSL’s)]. The BSL’s provide for inter-channel communication.
Two 10Mbit Ethernet Ports provide system level communication. The BSL’s provide
trunking communications as well as site configuration and database messaging. One
Ethernet port is dedicated to Management System information. The second Ethernet Port
is not supported at this time.
The SitePro Controller and System Interface Module (SIM) will use the primary BSL for
trunking information and limited management system information. The secondary link
will ensure continued trunking operation in the event of a primary BSL failure.
The SitePro Controller/base station interface for digital information, both receive and
transmit, is 9.6k baud synchronous data. Additional digital control information is
provided via discrete I/O at both the base station and controller. The following diagram
(Figure 2) is a high level picture of the SitePro Controller and external interfaces.
7.1 SHELF ASSEMBLY
SitePro Controller shelf Assembly EA101209V1 is a 19” Rack Mount, one Rack Unit
device. It is enclosed to reduce emissions and interference with other devices. Serial
ports, Ethernet, power, and I/O connections are accessible at the back of the shelf (Figure
1). The serial port connections (6 OVER 6 PHONE LINES & SERIAL PORTS) are
stacked two high using RJ45 type connectors (J14) and RJ11 type connectors (J4). The
Ethernet connectors J5 & J6 (ETHERNET 0 & ETHERNET 1) are single height RJ45
connectors. The power connector (J7) and I/O connectors (J11, J12 & J13) are Molex
type.
The front panel has two hinged access doors for insertion/removal of the Controller
Board and the Rockwell Modem card for troubleshooting and ease of maintenance. These
doors have RF fingers to reduce emissions. Diagnostic LEDs and the eight-character
display are viewable from the front panel.
The Shelf Assembly consists of Interconnect Board A1, which provides connectors to
accommodate:
Interconnect Board CB101073V1 is a passive printed circuit board that provides
interconnections between all internal components of the SitePro Controller shelf and
interfaces the SitePro Controller shelf with the outside world (Refer to Table 3 -
Interface Connections, an
filters U1 thru U29 reduce any Electro Mechanical Interference (EMI).
Controller Board CB101069V1 contains all SitePro Controller logic and control functions
except the power supply and Rockwell Modem (Refer to the Outline and Schematic
Diagrams for the Controller Board as listed in the TABLE OF CONTENTS).
This Controller Board is based on an MPC860 microprocessor, the primary responsibility
being message processing. This board has multiple high-speed serial ports, two of, which
are used for primary and secondary BSL’s. It has hardware and dual port RAM to support
the SitePro Modem Board and a 10/100 Mbit ethernet port. This port is available for
Voice Over IP traffic. A second 10 Mbit ethernet port is available for management
functions.
This board has sufficient memory to support 1M LIDs and 64k GIDs. It has LID and GID
validation for all calls.

CIRCUIT ANALYSIS
7.3.2.1 Oscillator For Ethernet PHYs
This circuit consists of crystal oscillator circuit Y1 powered by 3.3 V applied to Y1, Pin
4, Vcc. Oscillator circuit Y1 is biased on by resistor R49 connected to Y1, Pin 3, CTRL
and produces 25 MHz on the output at Pin 3 through resistor R51 (OSC 25MHz). This
output connects to the CLK25 inputs to the Ethernet 10 and Ethernet 10/100 Mbit
3
PHYs
.
7.3.2.2 JTAG Port
This JTAG PORT circuit consists of buffer U1 (NC7SZ125M5). This circuit allows
programming directly to the microprocessor through connector J4. This circuitry is not
presently used.
7.3.2.3 Board Insert Detection Circuit
This circuit consists of NPN transistors Q6 and Q7. When the Controller Board is
inserted into a live Interconnect Board, the base circuits of these transistors are connected
to ground through connector J1B, Pins B1 and B32 at either end of J2. Connector J1B,
Pin B1 is MATE-DETECT-A and J1B, Pin B32 is MATE-DETECT-B. With the base of
both transistors at ground, they are held in the off state. This allows POWER ON to cycle
high if the output of U41 is high. The POWER ON voltage is applied to Pin 2 of Hot
TM
Swap
Controller U37. If the base of either transistor (Q6 or Q7) is not connected to
ground, POWER ON will not be applied to the HotSwap Controller. Therefore, if the
card is not seated properly, power will not turn ON.
7.3.2.4 Hot Swap™ Controller
Hot Swap™ controller (HSC) U37 allows Controller Board CB101069V1 to be safely
inserted in or removed from Interconnect Board CB101073V1 while voltage is applied.
Using external N-channel pass transistor Q5, the supply voltage to the Controller Board is
ramped up at a controlled rate. Hot Swap switch driver U37, Pin 6 controls the N-channel
gate. A programmable electronic circuit breaker detecting over current by sensing voltage
across 15 milliohm resistor R153 protects against shorts. The RESET output (U37, Pin 1)
is used to generate a system reset when the supply voltage falls below the voltage preset
by resistors R167 and R168. The POWER ON input to U37, Pin 2 is used to cycle the
Controller Board power. The 555 timer circuit (U40) is connected to the HSC chip so that
the HSC can be automatically reset in the case of a circuit breaker fault.
Because the Hot Swap Controller, U37, latches OFF if it senses an overload, a timer
circuit has been added to occasionally turn it back ON. If the overload still exists, it turns
off immediately but if the overload is not present, normal operation is restored. This
circuit is needed for unattended operation.
The 555 timer is powered any time 5V is applied to the board since it is connected ahead
of the Hot Swap Controller. As long as the HSC is ON, 5V is fed to inverter U42-2
through D34. The resulting low on U42-4 holds U40 at reset.
When the HSC turns power OFF, U42-4 goes high and the reset is removed. The timer
now free runs with about a 1.1 second cycle time. U40-3 is high for about 0.7 sec and low
3
PHY is an Industry Standard for “Physical Interface.”
28MM101271V1 R2A
CIRCUIT ANALYSIS
for about 0.4 sec. U40-3 is inverted by U41. During the high part of the cycle, the
resulting low at U41-4 holds the HSC ON pin low keeping the HSC OFF.
When U40-3 switches low, U37-2, the HSC ON pin is allowed to go high through D35,
pulled up by resistor R157. The HSC turns ON, but if the fault is still present, it turns
OFF within 40µs and the cycle continues. If the fault is gone, the 555 is held reset and the
Controller Board resumes normal functioning.
Capacitor C119 and resistor R191 act as a slugging filter on the FB input to prevent fast
transients on the 5V from causing the HSC to generate a reset. Likewise, capacitor C118
and resistor R190 prevent large transients on the input 5V, i.e. when the RMIC is hot
swapped, from causing the HSC to generate a reset due to a transient on the ON pin.
7.3.2.5 3.3V Regulator
The controller board is provided with 5 Volts and ±12 Volts from the Interconnect Board.
Linear regulator U25 is used to provide 3.3 volts to be used by the majority of digital
logic on the Controller Board and the Board.
The Hot Swap Controller (HSC) is used to ramp up the 5V-power rail at a controlled
rate. This, in addition to other considerations, will allow the Controller Board to be hot
swappable. The 5V output from this circuit will also power the 3.3-Volt regulator, thus
causing the 3.3 V power rail to also ramp up at a controlled rate. As mentioned above, the
HSC has a built-in electronic circuit breaker.
7.3.2.6 3.3V Power Monitor
The 3.3V Power Monitor (U31) uses a precision temperature-compensated reference and
comparator circuit to monitor the status of the 3.3V supply. If a loss of power is detected
an internal power-fail signal forces reset to the active state, which is low. When the 3.3V
supply returns to a normal state, the reset signal is kept active for approximately 150 ms
to allow the power supply and microprocessor to stabilize. This 3.3V Power Monitor
circuit also monitors Reset Pushbutton S1 on the reset output, U31, Pin 1. If the reset is
pulled low, by pressing S1, a reset signal is generated upon release. The output of U31 is
held in reset output (low) for approximately 150 ms.
7.3.2.7 Test Points
Test Points TP1 thru TP10 are provided on the Controller Board as follows:
• TP1 thru TP3, TP7, TP8 and TP10 are ground connections
• TP4 is +12V
• TP5 is +3.3V
• TP6 is +5.0V
• TP9 is WALSHCLK
7.3.2.8 Programming Serial Port J8
This port (J8) is located at the front of the Controller Board just behind the hinged door.
It is provided so that a programmer can easily program the microprocessor from the front
of the SitePro Controller without removing it from the cabinet.
