1.11 CONFIGURATION

1.11.1 T-96SR FIELD PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE

Operating characteristics of the T-96SR are configured by the Field Programming Software. Offline Diagnostics and Online Diagnostics give access to Offline Diagnostics and commands (local and remote) and online diagnostics monitoring (with or without a T-Base/R). Programming software is Windows

® based

and requires a Windows 95 or better operating system. Context sensitive help and printable help files are provided with this program.

The T-96SR requires the use of the Field Programming Software for configuration, adjustment and diagnostics.

1.11.2 DIAGNOSTICS AND REMOTE COMMANDS

Diagnostics and remote commands are processed using the T-96SR Offline diagnostics utility. Diagnostics can be monitored using the T- 96SR Online Diagnostics utility.

Table 1-3 Diagnostics and Commands

Online Diagnostics Information is automatically sent by each

unit at the beginning of every transmission. May be disabled for back compatibility with Dataradio T-Modem 96 or Motorola RNet 9600

Offline Diagnostics Information is sent by a specific unit in

response to an inquiry by the master or monitoring station

Remote Commands Commands may be sent by the master or

monitoring station to any specific remote unit

1.11.3 ADDRESSING

Each T-96SR has addressing capability which is used for diagnostics and remote commands only. Table 1-4 T-96SR Addresses

ID Number This value (maximum 1023) is assigned at the factory but may be

modified using the Field Programming Software. The ID Number is used to uniquely identify the T -96SR for remote commands and Offline Diagnostics. The ID Number may have values within the range of 1 to 4294967295 but multiples of 1024 should not be

used

Short ID This value (maximum 1023) is the low order 10 bits of the ID

Number. It is used to identify online diagnostics only. It may not be modified directly using the Field Programming Software; it is always derived from the ID Number. All units within a network should have unique Short ID numbers to avoid ambiguity in Online Diagnostics reports.

001-4006-101

1-7

Page 15

The T-96SR Field Programming Software may be used to check the value of the Short ID. When setting up a network, we recommend checking each unit to make sure there is no duplication of Short ID numbers. Duplications may be resolved by changing the Short ID Number.

If ID Numbers are set within the range of 1 to 1023, the ID Number and the Short ID will always have the same value (see Table 1-4).

1.11.4 ONLINE DIAGNOSTICS

Online Diagnostics (statistics) require the use of a network configuration such as that specified in the “Network Using T-Base” or “Network Using T-96SR for Online Diagnostics” sections. Online diagnostics do not interfere with normal network operation. Online diagnostics provide four types of information:

z Supply voltage z Internal temperature z Forward and reverse power in watts z Received signal strength (in dBm)

Each T-96SR can accumulate this information for the last 15 stations heard. The accumulated values can be displayed using the Offline Diagnostics utility or can be dynamically monitored using the Online Diagnostics utility.

1.11.5 OFFLINE DIAGNOSTICS

Offline diagnostics are statistics returned in response to a specific request to a particular station. The use of this feature requires temporary suspension of user network operation. Offline diagnostics provide information that is displayed via the Offline Diagnostics utility. Offline Diagnostics gather and displays five types of information:

z Supply voltage z Analog supply voltage z Internal temperature z Received signal strength (in dBm) z Forward and reverse power in watts z Preamble good & total z Preamble DCD

1.11.6 REMOTE COMMANDS

Remote commands that may be sent using the Offline Diagnostics utility include: Begin test transmission (several types are available)

z Get statistics (diagnostics) z Sample network statistics (monitoring online diagnostics) z Get parameters (configuration) from remote unit

Remote commands are sent and responses received with the host application offline.

Users can build a suitable cable by referring to the connector and cable pinout (see Figure 2-3 and Table 2-4). For user data, pin 15 (DTR/PGM) should not be connected. A data cable for connection to a PC type DE-9 connector is available from DRL (Part No. 697-0000-001).

Important Note: The T-96SR Field Programming Software, used to configure the T-96SR, includes a special setup cable. Do not use this cable to connect a user application. Using this cable for user application will result in the T-96SR switching to setup mode in which case the T-96SR will not transmit or receive user data. The green LED flashes to indicate the unit is in setup mode.

2.5 T-96SR FIELD PROGRAMMING SOFTWARE

2.5.1 Introduction

The T-96SR Field Programming Software provides programming and diagnostics for the Dataradio T-96SR wireless modem. The Field Programming Software allows the user to edit and program user programmable settings, interactively tune modem and RF parameters, and monitor diagnostic data from the T-96SR. See Figure 2-6 for the T-96SR Field Programming Software startup screen.

This manual assumes the Field Programming Software has been installed on the user’s PC with at least one operational serial COM Port available.

2.5.2 COM Port Settings

T-96SR programming is done through the PC’s Primary COM Port. Primary and secondary COM ports are configured with the Field Programming Software. The programming cable (included in the Programming Kit - DRL part number 250-4006-001) is connected from the Setup Port on the T-96SR to the PC’s COM port configured as the Primary Port. The Port Settings screen of the Field Programming Software is accessed via the Utilities pull-down menu (see Figure 2-7). The Port Settings screens are used to configure the PC’s serial COM Ports. COM Port parameters are defined in 2.5.2.1. COM Port assignments are displayed in the bottom status bar of the T-96SR Field Programming Software screen.

DTR Enable

Used to assert DTR (Data T erminal Ready) line of the RS232 Port when the port is open for the Primary and Secondary COM Ports.

Swap COM Ports

Selecting the Swap Com Ports button moves the Secondary COM Port settings to the Primary COM Port (and moves the Primary COM Port to the Secondary settings). Since T-96SR programming is done through the Primary COM Port, this is useful when two units are connected to the Primary and Secondary COM Ports. A Swap COM Ports allows the second unit to be programmed without switching programming cables.

2.5.2.2 Primary and Secondary Port Settings Communications Modes

The Mode drop down menu configures the communications mode for th e Primary and Secondary PC Port. See Table 2-6 for Communication Modes configurations.

2.5.4 Setup Modem/Radio Parameters

Figure 2-8 Setup Modem/Radio Screen

The Setup Modem/Radio Parameters screen is accessed from the Edit menu pull-down or from the Parms icon when the tool bar is visible.

2.5.4.1 Modem Operating Parameters

The Setup Modem/Radio Parameters allows the user to view and edit T-96SR’s programmable parameters. Programming parameters can be stored in a data file with the .DAT file extension. Programmable parameters are used by the Read/Write Parameters screen for programming into nonvolatile memory.

2-10

001-4006-101

Page 31

Parameter settings are modified from three screen tabs: the Modem tab, COM/Analog tab, and Radio tab. When desired parameters in each tab window have been adjusted, select the OK button to store the parameter information into local PC memory and exit the parameter screen. Clicking the Default Parms button sets certain parameters back to factory default settings. Clicking Cancel exits the parameter screen without modifying any parameters currently stored in local PC memory.

Modem operating parameters include:

Long ID

The electronic ID Number is a unique number assigned at the factory. This number may be changed in the case of a duplication. The ID Number is used by the programmer for remote addressing and diagnostics.

The range of this field is 1 to 4294967295 but multiples of 1024 should not be used. A multiple of 1024 results in a Short ID of 0. If the ID Number is within the range of 1 to 1023, the Short ID will be the same. NOTE: This ID is not the same as the printed serial number. Use the printed serial number to verify if the unit is under warranty.

Short ID

The Short ID is derived from the longer ID Number. It is used to identify units and minimizes the time required to transmit Online Diagnostics. The Short ID of each unit in a network must be unique if Online or Offline Diagnostics will be used. Since the Short ID is derived from the ID Number, no entry is allowed in this field. The range of the Short ID is 1 to 1023.

Comment

The Comment field can be used as a notepad (i.e., customer name, location, technical info...etc can be entered in this field). Comments are text up to 39 characters including spaces.

Date Last Configured

The Date Last Configured field shows the date the unit was last programmed. The date is taken from the operating program. No entry is allowed in this field.

Total Configurations

The Total Configurations field shows the number of times a unit has been programmed. No entry is allowed in this field.

Online Diagnostics

If enabled, diagnostics information is sent at the beginning of each transmission. Diagnostics information is invisible to user data except for the increase in RTS/CTS delay of 11ms (at 9600 b/s). The default value is “Enabled” (checked)

All units in a network must use the same setting. Diagnostics from the last 15 stations heard are stored in each unit. These values or read using the Offline or Online Diagnostics screen.

Transmitted information includes:

z Short ID z Supply Voltage (in Volts) z Internal Temperature (in Celsius) z Forward and Reverse Power (in Watts) (T-96S and T-96SR only) z Received Signal Strength (in dBm)

T-Base Option

Available when connected to a T-96SR Wireless Modem, the “T-Base Option” makes the necessary circuit changes to allow using the modem as a special diagnostic unit in the T-Base/R. The default value is “Disabled” (unchecked).

Repeater Mode (Extended T1 RTS-CTS refer to Table 2-8, page 2-13)

The Repeater Mode option extends transmitter turn-on time to allow use in a repeater network. The default value is “Disabled” (unchecked).

Extended Turn-off (T2)

The Extended Turn-off option extends transmitter turn-off time to enforce a quiet period at the end of each transmission. Select “Enabled” if data equipment does not clearly terminate each data frame and is susceptible to extraneous bits (dribble bits) at the end of data transmission. The default value is “Disabled” (unchecked).

Values are: 4800 b/s = 16 ms; 9600 b/s = 8 ms; 19200 b/s = 4 ms

An end-of-transmission quiet period approximately 8 char acters long can be invoked on the T-96SR by holding its transmitter on briefly after RTS is dropped. This quiet period (which occurs between the last valid data character and any possible extraneous “noise” bits) may be of benefit to some DTE that would otherwise be adversely affected by the extraneous bits.

Output Raw Diagnostic Data Only

The Output Raw Diagnostic Data Only option instructs the modem to receive diagnostic information received from other modems only. Enabling this option disables user data delivery. This function is provided to use with the Diagnostic Unit incorporated in a T-Base or T-Base/R. The default value for this option is “Disabled” (unchecked).

Radio

This field designates the radio model.

Range

This field designates radio frequency range.

Channel

This field specifies whether the unit is full- or half-channel (12.5 or 25 kHz).

Redirect Channel 8

The Redirect Channel 8 field allows Channel 8 to be directed to another program med channel. The units’ DIP switches must be set to the Channel 8 selection for channel redirection to function.

Tx Only Radio

The Tx Only Radio option disables the radio’s receiver and any ability for the modem to receive data. This function is provided for use with the Tx unit incorporated into a T-Base or T-Base/R.

Rx Only Radio

The Rx Only Radio option disables the radio’s transmitter and any ability for the modem to transmit data. This function is provided for use with the Rx unit incorporated into a T-Base or T-Base/R.

PTT Watchdog

The PTT Watchdog allows the user to set the maximum transmit time. This is used to protect against a ‘stuck’ transmitter. The time is selected by a slider bar. The range is 0 to 120 seconds with a default of 30 seconds. W arning: T ransmissions longer than 30 seconds may exceed the duty cycle rating of the transmitter and lead to shortened life or transmitter failure. A factory-installed cooling fan is available for extended duty operations. For continuous-transmit applications, the PTT Watchdog feature can be disabled (unchecked).

Synthesizer

This field lists the synthesizer model used. This field is non-selectable and for reference only.

Dynamic Carrier Detect Off Threshold

The Dynamic Carrier Detect Off Thresho l d allo w s the modem to automatically adjust the Carrier Detect Off Threshold based on the RSSI while receiving data. If selected, the Carrier Detect Off level will automatically adjust to approximately 15 dB below the actual signal strength. This provides rapid detection of loss-of-carrier and minimizes or eliminates ‘bit dribble’ at the end of transmissions.

Recommendation: Keep Dynamic Carrier Detect Off Threshold enabled (checked) unless interference or variable signal strength (i.e., fading in a moving vehicle) causes problems.

2.5.11 ONLINE DIAGNOSTICS

Online Diagnostics are transmitted by each unit in a network before the user’s data is transmitted. All units must be programmed with the Online Diagnostics parameter found on the Setup Modem/Radio Parameters screen to receive Diagnostics from a system. The unit that the computer is interfaced with will output Online Diagnostics as they are received. This unit must have the Output Raw Diagnostic Data Only parameter programmed (found on the Setup Modem/Radio Parameters Screen). Using Online Diagnostics does not require suspension of network operation.

Online Diagnostics are subject to alarm and filter conditions defined in the Diagnostic IDs, Alarms and Filters screen (see Figure 2-15). When Online Diagnostics are received and a diagnostic field falls outside the alarm limits, a “<“ character will designate a value less than the low alarm and a “>” character will designate a value greater than the high alarm. If Online Diagnostics are received and a diagnostic field falls outside the filter limits, the diagnostic information will be considered invalid and will not be displayed.

2.5.16 PROGRAM CODE

The Program Code pull-down menu allows the user to update the T-96SR firmware (*.bin) with the Program Firmware option. Select Modem Code File allows the user to select the file to program the firmware in the T-96SR.

2.5.17 END TO END TEST

Two Dataradio T-96SRs can be tested using the Dataradio T-96SR Field Programming Software. The Field Programming Software has several useful utilities embedded in the program that assist in testing the wireless modems. The testing setup requires a computer running the Field Programming Software attached to each user COM port on the T-96SR wireless modems. The Utilities will allow the user to send ASCII text or Hex characters through the T-96SRs being tested.

The T-96SRs must be setup so that they have the appropriate receive and transmit signal levels for the test. The signal strength will be much stronger if the units are tested on the bench compared to being tested in a field installation. These signals must be attenuated or the output power level adjusted if the units are being tested on the bench.

Under the “Utilities” menu choose the “ASCII Terminal”. From the “ASCII Terminal” screen, choose the “Primary” selection. This will open an ASCII terminal window using the primary COM port of the computer. This procedure should be done for both T-96SRs.

The ASCII Terminal utility has provisions for transmitting the ASCII data, displaying received ASCII data and displaying ASCII transmitted data. Figure 2-23 shows the window for the Primary ASCII Terminal.

001-4006-101

Figure 2-23 End to End Test: ASCII Terminal

Figure 2-23 also shows the area that is used to send an ASCII text message. The ASCII data message is typed into this area. The ASCII text message is then sent out the first T-96SR through the computer’s primary port once the “Send “button is clicked. The sent ASCII message is then displayed in the Tx Data area of the ASCII Terminal window as shown in Figure 2-24.

Type in this area to send the text message

Figure 2-24 End to End Test: Text message sent

The ASCII message is transmitted to the other T-96SR. The ASCII terminal program will display the received ASCII message in the Rx Data area as shown Figure 2-25.

Figure 2-25 Text message received

If the message was not displayed as typed, then a problem may exist in the system. Check all parameters and connections in the system. The signal level should also be checked again. The T-96SR’s Link Test utility can be used to verify a communication path.

The previous procedure can also be used with the Hex Terminal utility. When the Hex Terminal is used, the information is entered as hex code. Figure 2-26 shows how the information will look when it is typed in and sent in hex.

Figure 2-26 Hex Te rminal

In the Hex Terminal mode, the program will not transmit ASCII information. It will only allow valid hex characters.

2.7 OPTIMIZING YOUR SYSTEM

Detailed system engineering is beyond the scope of this manual. However, there are some simple tips that can be used to optimize performance of a radio based SCADA or telemetry system.

Choose the best protocol Some SCADA devices allow a choice of more than one operating protocol. In some cases, performance can be improved by selecting a different protocol. Contact Technical Service for assistance.

Check timer settings Polling protocols issue a poll and wait a certain time for a response. T-96SR adds a short amount of delay to each poll and response (typically in the order of 60 to 70 ms). Timer settings that are too short may cause erroneous indication of missed polls, in which case the application may retry or continue to cycle, ignoring the missed station. In this case, the response may collide with the next poll, further increasing errors. Setting an adequate timer margin will avoid problems and maximize performance.

Avoid flow control Set the COM port baud rate to a value less than or equal to the radio network speed (4800, 9600 or 19200 b/s). In a polling system, this will prevent buffer overflow with possible missed transmissions. If the port baud rate must be set higher than the radio network speed, you may have to limit message length to prevent possible buffer overflow. T-96SR will exert a flow control signal (CTS dropped) if buffers are almost full, but not all DTE honor such signals.

001-4006-101

2-38

Page 59

Use the highest suitable port baud rate (without exceeding the radio network speed) Operating an RTU at 1200 b/s on a 9600 b/s network will increase data transmission delays and reduce system performance.

Evaluate the need for online diagnostics Enabling online diagnostics increases delays by 2.5 to 10 ms (depending on speed). In critical applications, this extra delay can be eliminated by disabling online diagnostics. Offline Diagnostics (diagnostics on request) remain available.

Interpreting RSSI Readings

Typical values of RSSI will be in the range of -110 to -60 dBm (depending on network speed), with higher values (i.e. less negative values) indicating a stronger signal.

Reliability of data reception depends largely on signal strength. Good design practice calls for a minimum 30 dB “fade margin”, based on a threshold reception level of -107 dBm (1 uV) at speed of 9600 b/s. Experience indicates that this will give about 99.5% reliability.

Some representative performance values for 9600 b/s operation are given below. These values assume that the units are correctly aligned and installed in a quiet location. Environments with high electrical or RF noise levels will require an increase in the numbers shown to achieve a given level of reliability.

-100 dBm Approximately 50% reliability. Fading may cause frequent data loss.

-90 dBm Approximately 90% reliability. Fading will cause occasional data loss.

-80 dBm Approximately 99% reliability. Reasonable tolerance to most fading.

-70 dBm Approximately 99.9% reliability with high tolerance to fading.

If RSSI values drops seasonally the most likely cause is tree foliage which can interfere with radio transmissions during the spring and summer.

Interpreting Power Readings

The values returned are approximate and should not be regarded as an absolute indicator of performance. For example, a unit that shows a forward power of 4.5 watts may actually measure at 5.0 watts on a lab quality wattmeter. For this reason, these values should not be used to indicate that a unit is out of spec or to compare one unit to another.

However, the values returned should be consistent for any given unit. If statistics are kept on a unit per unit basis, changes in forward or reflected power are significant. The following conditions are worthy of investigation.

1. Forward power output (in watts) drops or rises by more than 10% from its established value. Reflected power remains low. This indicates that the transmitter may need alignment or that a component may be in need of replacement.

2. Forward power output drops by more than 10% from its established value or reflected power shows an

increase. This indicates a possible antenna or feedline problem that affects SWR (Standing Wave Ratio).

001-4006-101

2-39

Page 60

Reverse Power and SWR

A reverse power reading above zero is an indication that the antenna, feedline or connectors are damaged, corroded or improperly tuned. This creates standing waves that are reported as a Standing Wave Ratio (SWR).

Table 2-9 is based on a forward power of 5 watts (it may be scaled for lower power settings) and gives guidelines to interpreting these figures:

Table 2-1 SWR / Rev Pwr Interpretation

SWR Rev Pwr Significance

1:1 0 Ideal situation

1.5:1 0.2 Normal operation 2:1 0.6 Should be investigated

3:1 or greater 1.25 or greater Defective antenna, feedline, or connectors

Should values returned by the built-in diagnostics seem to indicate a problem, verify using proper radio shop equipment.
