1.3 Software Application Details

1.3.1 P25/AS-IP

With the P25/AS-IP software application, the TB7300 is interoperable with TB9400 base stations, and therefore operates in P25 conventional networks and analog conventional networks. It operates as a stand-alone repeater/ base station, or as part of a channel group, providing receiver voting and simulcast transmission. All air interfaces and system types support simulcast operation.

In a P25 conventional network, the TB7300 operates as a single or wide area conventional repeater, with receiver voting and optional simulcast.

Dispatch connection is via three distinct interfaces:

■ P25 standard DFSI connection (up to three connections simultaneously)

■ Analog line

■ Tait P25 Console Gateway, supporting conversion between P25 and

analog consoles with MDC1200 signaling

In an analog conventional network, the base station can operate as a repeater with CTCSS

or DCS subaudible signaling.

The base station can also operate as part of an analog conventional simulcast network and is fully IP-connected. The base station also features an internally integrated voter, and therefore requires no external voter.

For more information on these applications, refer to the Help and appropriate Tait System Manual.

12 Description TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual

1.3.2 DMR/MPT

The TB7300 is designed for operation in a Tait TN9300 DMR Tier 2 conventional radio network, a Tait TN9300 DMR Tier 3 trunked radio network, an MPT-IP network, or as an analog conventional repeater.

In a DMR Tier 2 conventional network, the TB7300 can operate as a standalone repeater, or as a member of a multi-site system (under the supervision of a DMR conventional node). Since DMR provides two logical channels (timeslots) simultaneously for each radio frequency (physical channel), two users can alternately access the same frequency, one in each timeslot. Base stations on different sites can be linked together to form channel groups. A base station can support two channel groups, one in each timeslot.

In a DMR Tier 3 trunked network the TB7300 can operate as a control channel or as a traffic channel. With two logical channels for each radio frequency, a single TB7300 base station can provide two traffic channels, two control channels, or both a traffic channel and a control channel.

In an MPT network, the TB7300 operates as a control channel or as a traffic channel. operation either trunked or conventional.

In analog operation it can operate as a conventional repeater with CTCSS subaudible signaling

For more information, refer to the DMR System Manuals.

The TB7300 operates with a trunking node or in fallback

1.5 Theory of Operation

The RF input is fed directly to the receiver board, while the RF output is via the exciter and PA boards. The control board also receives signals from, and sends signals to, the system interface, the Ethernet interface, and the front interface (see Figure 1.1).

The Ethernet interface carries voice over IP and also allows maintainer access via a web browser.

and Output

Ethernet Interface to Network

The control board carries out signal processing and has overall control of the base station.

The control board converts information between analog and digital and controls the maintainer’s access via the Ethernet interface. It performs the air interface signal processing for digital DMR and P25 operation, gives the base station an identity as a network element, and provides the physical connections for the Ethernet and system interfaces.

18 Description TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual

1.5.1 Signal Paths

The following figures provide an overview of signal paths within the control boards for both software applications:

Digital P25 signals from the receive RF interface pass through the digital receiver and P25 modem to the control software in the control processor. The control software passes the signal through the Ethernet interface to the site controller, to the console gateway (conventional networks), or for a satellite, to the central voter in a simulcast system.

Input to the Ethernet interface can be from the site controller, from the console gateway (conventional networks), or from the central voter in a simulcast system. These inputs are processed by the control processor and passed through the P25 modem to the transmitter. If the base station is itself a central voter, this input can also be a received signal, which is voted on and sent back through the Ethernet interface to the site controller.

Figure 1.2 Control board signal paths

Input to the Ethernet interface is from the node controller. This input is processed by the RISC and passed through the DMR modem to the transmitter.

Analog FM signals from the receive RF interface pass through the digital receiver and are converted to G.711 before being modulated and retransmitted.

TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Description 19 © Tait International Limited November 2019

1.5.2 Online and Offline Modes

The base station normally operates in Online mode, but you can put it into Offline mode via its web interface.

Online Mode In Online mode, the base station is in service and performs its normal

functions of transmitting and receiving radio signals.

Offline Mode Offline mode allows a maintenance engineer to carry out tasks that can not

be done while the base station is in service, such as activating firmware or running diagnostic tests.

1.5.3 Power Supply

The supply interface board accepts a nominal 13.8VDC input. The supply interface is fused at 15A.

1.5.4 Front Panel Fans

The base station is equipped with three fans. Two fans are for the receiver, exciter and control boards, and the third is for the PA. Front panel fans do not operate continuously, but are switched on and off as needed. The fans can also be temporarily enabled for test purposes via the web interface.

When the base station is powered up, the fans turn on until the main software fully boots.

Configuring Fan Control

The operation of the PA fans are configurable via the web interface; you can specify the threshold temperature at which the fan will turn on, and set the fan to operate only when the PA is transmitting.

Notice The TB7300 base station fans can’t be monitored remotely. Malfunctioning fans may activate the PA and reciter temperature alarms, depending on the ambient temperature and duty cycle of the transmitter.

and usernames securely and do not lose them. They may be needed by Tait support personnel if assistance is required. Tait cannot retrieve

forgotten passwords.

4.2.2 Setting the IP Address

Before the base station is installed on site, you need to provide it with its proper IP address. Make sure that you do not lose this address.

1. Select Identity > Identity > Network.

2. Enter the required details in the Change network identity area and click Save.

When a user saves or changes the IP address of an online base station, the base station will sometimes reset. Tait recommends that all configuration changes are made after taking the base station offline.

4.2.3 Security Certificates

You can upload your own security certificates to the base station (Tools > Settings > Web certificate). If you have installed and configured the appropriate Certification Authority software, you can issue security certificates for all base stations. After uploading the certificates to the base stations, you can configure all maintainers’ web browsers to accept security certificates from your own Certification Authority.

Before you have uploaded a security certificate to the base station, it will raise a security warning when your browser connects to it for the first time. The base station creates a self-signed certificate when the firmware is installed. Your browser raises a security warning because the security certificate was not issued by a trusted Certification Authority. The browser will have an option to let you override or bypass the security warning.

4.2.4 Local Connection to a Base Station

Using a computer onsite normally requires the computer have an IP address that is compatible with the sub-netting and routing used by the communications network. Additionally, you may need to connect to a reciter after removing it from service.

In either case, you may have to change your computer IP address configuration.

To connect the base station to your computer, ensure that your computer is part of the same subnet as the base station, or has a route to it. Refer to your operating system provider's Help for further information.

30 Connecting to the Base Station TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual

Base stations leave the factory with default IP address: 192.168.1.2, Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0. If your base station will still not connect to your PC, contact your local Tait dealer.

You may need to temporarily disconnect a networked PC from its LAN in order to establish a direct connection with the base station. A physical connection is needed as well as an alternate or temporary IP address and subnet mask.

4.2.5 Troubleshooting Connection Problems

If the attempt to connect to a base station failed, consider these possible causes.

1. Your PC is part of your organization’s LAN and does not belong to

the same subnet as the base station. Give the PC a suitable IP address and subnet mask as described in “Local Connection to a Base Sta-

tion” on page 30.

2. You are attempting to connect to the wrong IP address. Check that

the IP address is correct.

3. The link to the base station is down. Use ping to check.

4. A connection error may occur if your PC is using the organisation’s

web proxy, but the base station doesn’t have a valid gateway address allowing it to send responses back to that proxy. Users should ensure that all network parameters are correct (IP address, network mask and gateway address). You may have to bypass the proxy in your organization’s LAN to access the radio communications network. Ask your system administrator to give you access.

5. JavaScript may be disabled in your browser. If JavaScript is

disabled, your browser will be unable to connect to the base station. Note that modern browsers normally have JavaScript enabled by default.

4.2.6 Finding a Lost or Forgotten IP Address

Use the following procedure if an IP address has been lost or forgotten.

1. Connect your PC to the serial port on the back of the base station.

2. Run a program such as HyperTerminal, Teraterm or minicom.

3. Select the following port settings: 57600 baud, 8 data bits, no parity, 1 stop bit, no flow control.

4. Enter root as a login name, and enter the root password when requested (the default is k1w1).

5. Type ifconfig and press Enter. The IP address is displayed on the second line returned as “inet addr:xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx”.

4.2.7 Setting Up Authentication

Connections to the base station can be authenticated by a remote (i.e. centralised) service (Tools > Settings > Authentication). Two remote authentication protocols are supported: LDAP and RADIUS.

Notice Only people experienced with the AAA architecture and authentication protocols should make changes on this page.

Moving logins to a centralized server can provide enhanced security for a number of reasons, such as:

■ less work is required to manage password-controlled access to all base

stations in a network; you no longer need to change the password in each base station individually.

■ previously used passwords may be excluded from re-use.

■ access can be denied after a set number of incorrect passwords is

entered.

■ passwords can be set to expire on a certain date.

■ remote access to base stations can be globally enabled and disabled as

required for technical staff during the commissioning process.

Once the centralised server logins are set up, we recommend that only one local administrator login is left on the base station for emergency use (e.g. when the connection to the server is lost). The password for this emergency login should be confidential.

4.4.4 Working with Configuration Files

Channels To see all channels associated with both P25/AS-IP and DMR/MPT, go to

Configure > Base Station > Channels.

To make them easily recognizable, the licenses within this table are prefixed with their specific software application (P25/AS-IP or DMR/ MPT).

If you attempt to go online with a channel that is invalid for the software application you are currently using, an alarm will activate (Monitor > Alarms). The alarm will warn you that the channel you are attempting to use will not function.

TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Connecting to the Base Station 39 © Tait International Limited November 2019

Managing Configuration Files

Transferring Files

Specific software application configurations can be transferred between base stations without overwriting identity information.

Configuration

It is important to note that configuration items such as the ‘Network Access Code (NAC)’, (air-interface specific to the P25 channel) may not be visible on the web user interface when running its software application equivalent. However, its configuration is still preserved in the database.

Channels specific to analog, P25, DMR or MPT operation may not be usable by their equivalent application, but they remain in the channel table and can be edited if required.

At any time, you can save the current configuration settings as a file (Tools > Files > Configuration > Backup configuration). This is stored in the base station, but we recommend that you download it and store it on your computer as an off-site backup. The base station identity and network identity are not saved as part of the configuration file.

The following parameters are not restored on a base station when a configuration is restored:

■ Keypad enabled

■ Trunking capability

■ Trunking control channel priority

■ Host name

■ Default channel

■ Operating mode

■ Front panel text lines 1 through 4

■ IP address

■ Subnet mask

■ Gateway address

■ Link speed

■ SSH enable

You may want to develop a master configuration and upload it to all base stations in the network. The master configuration can contain all the different channel configurations and can be common to all base stations. The base station identity selects the default channel.

Base stations are shipped with a set of factory default configurations featuring examples of channel setups for analog FM, P25, DMR and MPT. These configurations provide a safe set of values.

40 Connecting to the Base Station TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual

Tait recommends that you download these configurations and store them on your PC as a backup before altering and saving any of your own configuration settings.

You can also generate a report containing all the base station’s configuration settings relevant to the current application software (Tools > Files > Configuration > Configuration report), which can be saved as a text file. We recommend that you do this when the base station is commissioned. This report can be useful later if there is a problem with the base station. Comparing the original report with the later one may highlight changes in configuration that are causing a problem.

4.4.5 Single or channel group base stations

Base stations can operate singly, or as part of a simulcast or voted channel group. Channel group operation is enabled in the channel group profile: (Configure > Channel Group > [name]), and the channel group that is inuse is selected in the channel table (Configure > Base Station > Channels > [name]). To disable channel group operation, deselect the ‘enable’ checkbox in the profile referenced by the channel. For more details, see the DMR Simulcast and Voted Channel system manual.

4.4.6 Marshaling or transmit delay

As an IP connected base station, transmitters must buffer the signal to be transmitted so that variations in delay in the IP network do not cause the transmitter to underrun.

Non-simulcast channels use a configurable transmit delay. The amount of transmit delay required varies with the QoS (specifically jitter) of the IP transmission network.

Transmitters in a simulcast channel must all begin transmitting simultaneously, therefore the configured value of the marshaling duration must allow for the worst case network delay, including delay variation (jitter).

TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Connecting to the Base Station 41 © Tait International Limited November 2019

The table below provides a summary of where to configure transmit or marshaling delay:

Channel type Configured value

Single base station, P25 (Phase 1) Configure > Network Interfaces > P25

Network

Single base station, AS-IP Configure > Network Interfaces > AS-IP

Network

Simulcast channel, P25 (Phase 1) Configure > Channel Group [name] >

Synchronized – network > Fixed duration

Non-simulcast voted channel, P25 (Phase 1)

Single base station, DMR (Tier 2, Tier 3)Configure > Network Interfaces > DMR

Single base station, MPT Configure > Network Interfaces > MPT

Simulcast channel, DMR (Tier 2, Tier 3) Configure > Channel Group [name] >

Non simulcast voted channel, DMR (Tier 2, Tier 3)

Configure > Channel Group [name] > Unsynchronized local Tx delay

Network

Synchronized – network > Fixed duration

Configure > Channel Group [name] > Unsynchronized local Tx delay

For more information about configuring transmit or marshaling delay, please see the base station help.

4.4.7 Configuring Receive-Only Base Stations

To configure the base station as receive-only, the transmitter used within the channel profiles needs to be off. To turn off the transmitter, navigate to Configure > RF Interface > Channel Profiles.

4.4.8 Setting Up Custom Alarms

Each of the base station’s 12 digital inputs can be used to raise a custom alarm when the input goes high or low. The Custom Alarms form (Configure > Alarms > Custom Alarms) allows you to assign a name to each custom alarm.

The active state of the inputs (active high vs. active low) is configured on (Configure > Base Station > Programmable I/O)

Custom alarms are reported via the web interface and SNMP traps.

42 Connecting to the Base Station TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual

Custom alarms provide a warning when an external event activates a digital input. You can rename any of the available alarms to provide a more meaningful name, such as “Door open”.

Take care when setting the severity of alarms, including custom alarms (Configure > Alarms > Severity). Setting an alarm’s severity to Major will cause the node to take the base station out of service when the alarm is raised. Refer to the Help for more information.

4.4.9 Uploading Firmware from the Base Station

To upload firmware directly from the base station, go to Tools > Firmware > Download.

4.4.10 Downloading Firmware from a Package Server

While Tait recommends uploading firmware directly from the base station, the base station supports downloading firmware files from a package server (web server). Base station firmware files include a freeware web server package, Mongoose, that is set up to allow base stations to directly download firmware files from your computer.

Notice The version of Mongoose that Tait ships has a known security issue (CVE-2017-11567) that makes Mongoose unsuitable for use on the public Internet. For more information, please see the base station help.

4.4.11 Activating New Firmware

The web UI page Tools > Firmware > Activate allows you to review the two software packages stored on the base station and activate the one that is presently inactive.

The base station can remain online while doing upload or download, minimizing any outage time for activation.

Two packages allows separation of the upload or download from the activation itself. Minimizing the outage time when upgrading the firmware.

After activation, the inactive firmware allows you to quickly revert to the previous version should you choose to.

Application Packages

TB7300 can run two distinct applications: P25/AS-IP and DMR/MPT. You can switch between the two at any time, and run the other. However, there are certain functions associated with each application that are only possible

TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Connecting to the Base Station 43 © Tait International Limited November 2019

when running that specific software. For more information, please see the base station help.

The TB7300 can store two complete application packages in two distinct slots, one of which is active at any time. This is useful for switching between software applications (e.g. P25/AS-IP to DMR/MPT).

Switching Application Packages

To switch between one software application package to another, you must first activate the software in the inactive slot. Once that software is active, the base station will reboot and the new software will begin running.

4.4.12 Subaudible Signaling

The purpose of CTCSS and DCS signaling (PL and DPL) is to reject transmissions from radios that do not belong on the network. It is possible for digital signals such as DMR to cause falsing with some codes. If possible, you should avoid the following subaudible codes, which can be subject to false triggering from P25 or DMR signals:

Subaudible Type Code Values

CTCSS (PL) 131.8 Hz

DCS (DPL) 356

199.5 Hz

233.6 Hz

431 723

44 Connecting to the Base Station TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual

4.4.13 SNMP Network Management

Tait base stations provide Management Information Bases (MIBs), to allow network management using SNMP.

The Windows MSI installer includes Tait defined MIBs (look for a folder labeled MIBs under Tait Applications in the Windows Start menu), and they are also published on the Tait Technical support website: http://

support.taitradio.com/home

The following table summarises the base station MIB files and indicates with hardware and software application they apply to.

The “94Series” MIB applies to P25 and AS/IP operation for TB9400, and TB7300 base stations.

The “93Series” MIB applies to DMR/MPT operation for TB9300 and TB7300 base stations.

5 Installation

This chapter provides information on the site requirements for your TB7300 equipment and also describes how to install the base station in a standard 19 inch rack or cabinet.

If this is your first time installing a TB7300 base station, we recommend that you read the entire chapter before beginning the actual installation.

5.1 Before You Begin

5.1.1 Equipment Security

The security of your base station equipment is a high priority. If the site is not fully secure, the base station should at least be locked in a secure, ventilated cabinet to prevent unauthorized access.

5.1.2 Grounding and Lightning Protection

Electrical Ground A threaded grounding connector is provided on the rear of the tray for

permanent connection to the site protective ground point (refer to for more details). The minimum wire gauge for this connection is 1.35mm²/16AWG.

Lightning Ground It is extremely important for the security of the site and its equipment that

you take adequate precautions against lightning strike. Because it is outside the scope of this manual to provide comprehensive information on this subject, we recommend that you conform to your country’s standards organization or regulatory body.

46 Installation TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual

5.1.3 Equipment Ventilation

Always ensure there is adequate ventilation around the base station (refer to “Cabinet and Rack Ventilation” on page 47).

Notice Do not operate equipment in a sealed cabinet. The ambient temperature must stay within the specified range. We recommend strongly that you ensure the cooling airflow is not restricted.

Notice The cooling fans are mounted behind the front panel. To ensure adequate airflow through the base station, do not operate it for more than a few minutes with the fans disconnected (such as when the base station is being serviced).

5.1.4 Ambient Temperature Sensor

The ambient temperature reading for the base station is provided by the temperature sensor located inside the chassis.

5.1.5 Cabinet and Rack Ventilation

The cooling airflow for the subrack enters through the front panel and exits at the rear. For optimum thermal performance, the heated air that passes through a base station must never be allowed to re-enter the air-intakes on the front panel. Any space at the front of the cabinet not occupied by equipment should be covered by a blanking panel. See Figure 5.1 on

page 48.

Equipment installation should observe the following guidelines:

■ The recommended maximum number of subracks in a 38U cabinet is

twenty, as illustrated in Figure 5.1 on page 48.

■ Any space at the front of the cabinet not occupied by equipment should

be covered by a blanking panel. Refer to Figure 5.1 on page 48.

■ Subrack placement in the cabinet should include a 2U gap at the top of

the cabinet.

■ To allow enough cooling airflow through a cabinet-mounted base

station, the cabinet should allow for 50 cu.ft/min for each subrack (0.024 cu.m/s).

■ To ensure adequate ventilation, the cabinet should have a vent at the top

with an area of approximately 23in² (150cm²) per subrack, or a similar area of ventilation at the rear of the cabinet behind each subrack.

■ The maximum ambient temperature at the base station front panels must

not exceed +140°F (+60°C).

5.2 Unpacking the Equipment

Unpacking the Base Station

Disposal of Packaging

The base station is packed in a strong corrugated cardboard carton with top and bottom cushions.

1. Cut the tape securing the flaps at the top of the carton and fold them

flat against the sides.

2. Rotate the carton carefully onto its side and then onto its top,

ensuring that none of the flaps are trapped underneath.

3. Slide the carton upwards over the cushions and lift it away. Remove

the cushion from the bottom of the base station.

4. Lift the base station clear of the remaining cushion.

If you do not need to keep the packaging, we recommend that you recycle it according to local recycling methods. The cushions are CFC- and HCFCfree and may be burnt in a suitable waste-to-energy combustion facility, or compacted in landfill.

TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Installation 49 © Tait International Limited November 2019

5.3 Identifying the Equipment

You can identify the model and hardware configuration of the TB7300 by referring to the product code printed on a label at the rear of the base station. The meaning of each character in the product code is explained in the table below.

This explanation of product codes is not intended to suggest that any combination of features is necessarily available in any one product. Consult your regional Tait office for more information regarding the availability of specific models and options.

5.4 Initial Setting Up

Before putting the base station into service, you may want to carry out some basic functional testing, configuration, and tuning (if required). This section provides an overview of these procedures:

■ checking that the base station powers up correctly

■ checking the basic functionality of the base station by using the tests

available in the web interface

■ customizing the configuration for the intended installation and

verifying that the configuration is correct

■ changing the root password

■ tuning the base station, if required

5.4.1 Confirming Operation

Notice The RF output must be connected to a suitable attenuator or

dummy load. Do not remove the load while the PA is transmitting as this may damage the PA output stage.

Applying Power 1. Apply power to the TB7300.

2. Check that the base station powers up correctly:

All LEDs turn on initially, then the transmit and receive LEDs turn off, leaving the green power LED on, and the red alarm LED flashing. The alarm LED will turn off when the base station has finished its start-up sequence.

Functional Tests The following table provides an overview of the tests available using the

web interface. Refer to the base station Help for full details of these tests.

5.4.2 Working with Configurations

The Web UI page under Tools > Files > Configuration allows you to manage your base station configuration. The base station can store up to 10 configurations internally.

New configurations are created on the base station and uploaded to your PC. They can also be transferred from one base station to another, and can be transferred from one software application to another.

It is important to note that not all configuration values apply to both software applications e.g. DMR/MPT has colour codes, and P25 has NAC values.

When working with base station configurations, you can do the following:

■ Back up a configuration: Stores a snapshot of the base station’s current

configuration.

Tait recommends creating a back-up of the current configuration before making significant configuration changes. A backed up configuration is added to the list of stored configurations on the base station.

■ Upload a configuration: Copies a configuration from your computer to

the base station. You can develop a master configuration and upload it to all the base stations in the network. Uploading a configuration adds to the set of stored configurations but does not make that configuration active.

52 Installation TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual

When transferring configuration values between base stations, or from one software application to another, all configuration values are preserved.

To copy configurations between base stations, you can download the configuration file from the source base station, then upload and restore this to a new base station.

■ Restore a configuration: Makes the selected configuration active.

■ Download a configuration: Copies the selected configuration to your

computer so that you can store it. To download a configuration file, click on the name of the saved configuration in the list of saved configurations.

■ Create a human readable configuration report: Download and save a

text report of the base station’s configuration settings. You can use it to capture, view, review, and compare configurations.

It is safe to restore configurations created under different base station software versions than the one currently operating. When restoring a configuration from an old version that doesn’t contain values defined for all configurations parameters, any absent data values are set to default.

The following parameters are not over-written when restoring a configuration from a different base station:

■ Keypad enabled

■ Secure shell (SSH) console access enabled.

■ Receiver number

■ Host name

■ Default channel

■ Operating mode

■ Front panel text lines 1 through 4

■ IP address

■ Subnet mask

■ Gateway address

■ Link speed

TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Installation 53 © Tait International Limited November 2019

5.4.3 Customizing the Configuration

The following steps provide an overview of the process used to configure the base station with the settings it needs. Refer to the Help for more detailed information.

1. Log in to the base station (refer to “Connecting Your PC to the Base

Station” on page 29 for more details).

2. Select ‘Configure.’ The base station has many different settings that can be configured before it is put into operation, such as:

■ Channel configurations

■ Alarm control and SNMP agent

■ Network interfaces

■ Quality of service

■ CWID

■ Miscellaneous items such as minimum battery voltages, fan

control, NTP and package servers.

Default Configuration Parameters

3. Make the changes needed in each form and click, ‘Save.’ All changes made in the form will only be applied when the form is saved.

Notice Before making changes, you should save the configuration to your PC or network; this provides a baseline which can be restored to the base station if the configuration information becomes lost or corrupted. You should also back up the configuration before downgrading to a different software release. Note that if you downgrade and then upgrade software, configuration values for new features will generally disable the feature.

The base station is delivered from the factory with a saved configuration containing factory defaults. The configuration is named something like ‘QBCS20CF_11.dat’.

The default configuration file is associated with both P25/AS-IP and DMR/ MPT and serves as a starting point for when you need to create your own tailored configuration.

Base stations from the factory all have the same default configuration file. As a result, some settings will not be correct for your network. Frequency plan and alarm settings are examples.

For further information, please contact your local Tait dealer.

54 Installation TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual

5.4.4 Restricted Port Numbers

Certain configuration settings in the base station’s web interface require you to enter a port number (for example, the trunking interface).

The following two ranges of port numbers are unavailable for use with the base station:

Restricted Port Numbers Details

0 – 1023 The “well-known ports”, commonly used by other devices in a

network. Using a port number in this range could cause compatibility problems with other devices.

12000 – 14999 Reserved for internal use in the base station. Using a port number

in this range could cause the base station to malfunction.

5.4.5 Changing the Root Password

Notice The following procedure can be carried out only if secure

shell access (SSH) is enabled. Secure shell access to the base station is disabled by default from version 1.35 onwards. To enable SSH, select Tools > Settings > Secure shell and click ‘Start’.

The root password to the Linux operating system of the base station is a possible security risk. The equipment is delivered with a default password that is well known. Knowledge of the password could be used to render the equipment inoperable, for example, by deleting files. If you are concerned about the security risk that this poses, change the password. If Tait provides support services, they will likely need to know the password.

Notice If you change the password and then lose it, the equipment must be returned to Tait. Make sure that you store the password securely and do not lose it.

The serial port uses the same password but is unrelated to SSH.

To change the root password, follow these steps:

1. Log in from your PC to the base station using SSH client software

such as PuTTY. The username is root and the default password is k1w1.

2. At the # prompt, enter the command passwd.

3. Follow the on-screen instructions.

4. Record the password in a secure location.

Tait networks are deployed with default weak passwords. For the sake of security, Tait strongly recommends changing the default password where applicable.

TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Installation 55 © Tait International Limited November 2019

5.4.6 Tuning the Receiver

Before the base station is installed on site, you may need to tune the receiver front end. The receiver front end requires tuning if the receive frequency is shifted more than 2MHz away from the previously set frequency, or the RSSI level of the new frequency is more than 1dB lower than the RSSI level of the previously set frequency.

The following table indicates which bands require manual tuning, and which bands are electronically tuned:

Band Manual Electronic

B3 Band Manual Tuni ng

H3 x

H5 x

✓

This section provides instructions for tuning the B3 band reciter.

The base station receiver signal level diagnostic (Diagnose > RF Interface > Signal Level) offers the ability to verify that the configured receiver frequency aligns with the receiver tuning.

When the frequency sweep is set to “Use calibrated noise source”, the resulting curve represents the receiver front end response, and provides a quick visual check of whether the receiver is optimally tuned. A well tuned receiver should have the maximum response at the operating frequency. See the online help for more details.

The B3 receiver covers the frequency range: 148 to 174MHz

The B3 band is split into two sub-bands:

■ 148to159MHz

■ 159to174MHz

Each sub-band has its own helical filter (shown in Figure 5.2 below) which is electronically switched in or out of circuit depending on the frequency programmed into the base station. The bandwidth of these helical filters is approximately ±1.5MHz.

To check the RSSI level and tune the receiver front end (if required), follow these steps:

1. Place the base station on its side or upside down to allow access to the holes on the base to tune the helical filters.

2. Log in to the TB7300 and select Monitor > Interfaces > RF Interface. For information on connecting directly to the base station, refer to

“Local Connection to a Base Station” on page 30.

3. Feed a signal at the currently tuned receive frequency and at a level of –80dBm into the RF input. Check that the RSSI reading on the RF Interface page is –80dBm ±1dB.

4. Set the TB7300 to the new receive frequency.

5. Change the RF input signal to the new receive frequency at –80dBm. Check that the RSSI reading is – 80dBm ±1dB. If it is, the receiver front end does not require tuning. If it is not, go to the next step.

6. Using the Johanson tuning tool the new frequency (as shown in Figure 5.2) to obtain a peak RSSI reading. This reading should be within 1dB of the reading at the previous frequency.

Adjust the center resonator of the filter first, followed by the two outer resonators (in any order). Each resonator should require approximately the same amount of adjustment when tuning.

, adjust the correct helical filter for

A change in frequency of 5MHz requires approximately one turn of the tuning slug. If tuning to a lower frequency, turn the slug clockwise; for a higher frequency, turn the slug anti-clockwise.

7. Change the RF input signal and the receive frequency to 0.5MHz above and below the required frequency and check that the RSSI reading does not drop by more than 0.5dB from the reading at the required frequency.

8. Recalibrate the RSSI at the new frequency (Calibrate > Calibrate > RSSI).

If you wish to confirm the accuracy of the tuning procedure, carry out a sensitivity measurement at the new frequency.

5.5 Installing the Base Station on Site

5.5.1 Base Stations for Trunked Systems

When installing base stations that are part of a trunked system, it is important to observe good site engineering rules. This is especially true when the channels are combined into a single antenna.

If possible, the RF planner should avoid frequency plans in which the Rx to Tx spacing is an exact multiple of the trunked channel spacing, thus forcing Tx intermodulation products to fall outside the Rx channels.

Cables and antennas should be of high quality. Solid shield heliax cables are best, but if braided shield cables must be used for short distances, their braids must be silver-plated. Isolators must be used at all transmitter outputs.

When the outputs of more than one transmitter are combined, their voltages add, and the resulting peak envelope power is not simply the sum of their powers, but is equal to the power of one of them multiplied by the square of the number of sources. Cables, components, and hardware must be rated to withstand the peak envelope power.

During the commissioning process, all transmitters should be activated together using a diagnostic test tone, while the receiver RSSI is monitored. There should be no discernible increase in RSSI while the transmitters are active.

5.5.2 Equipment Required

It is beyond the manual’s scope to list everything required. However, the following tools and equipment are specifically required for installing the base station:

Too ls ■ Philips #2 tip screwdriver used to connect the DC power cables to the

DC power terminals

■ Pozidriv PZ3 screwdriver for the M6 screws used to secure the tray to

the cabinet in Tait factory-assembled systems

■ 8mm spanner for the M5 nut on the ground connector

You can also obtain the TBA0ST2 tool kit from your regional Tait office. It contains the basic tools needed to install, tune, and service the base station.

The Base Station Calibration Test Unit supports test and diagnosis. It is available for order under TBA0STU. It contains a breakout box, tone source and speaker.

5.6 Mounting the Base Station

1. Fit the base station into the cabinet or rack and secure it firmly with an M6 (or 0.25in if using the imperial system) screw, flat and spring washer in each of the four main mounting holes

Figure 5.3 on page 60.

2. The base station can be wall-mounted by rotating the front mounting brackets and fitting the optional rear brackets (TBBA03-01). When the base station is wall-mounted ensure the airflow is from bottom to top (front panel mounted down) or side to side.

3. For transport or in installations subject to vibration, the base station should be supported at the rear using a transit bracket (Tait recommends using the TBBA03-04 transit bracket).

5.7.3 Connecting RF

Notice Do not remove the load from the base station while it is trans-

mitting as this may damage the PA output stage. Before disconnecting RF cables, put the base station into ‘Offline’ mode to prevent any transmissions.

The RF input to the base station is via the marked BNC connector on the rear panel. The RF output is via the N-type connector on the rear panel (refer to Figure 5.4 on page 61).

Cables and antennas should be of high quality. Solid shield heliax type cables are best, but if braided shield cables must be used for short distances, their braids must be silver-plated.

Recommendations for Installing the Base Station

We recommend the following installation procedures, which should protect the PA from damage under all but the most extreme operating conditions

1. Do not connect the base station directly to the antenna. Fit an isola-

tor or duplexer between the base station and the load. Fit the isolator as close as possible to the RF output connector on the base station. Do not connect any switching equipment between the isolator and the base station, unless the switch cannot operate while there is RF present (i.e. the base station is transmitting).

2. Fit a surge suppressor to the antenna cabling where it enters the

building.

3. Inspect all cables and equipment connected to the base station for

defects.

A broken antenna or ice is unlikely to cause damage to the PA.

Explanation The circuit design of the PA protects the circuitry from high VSWR. This

makes it difficult to damage the RF power device by keying the PA into a mismatched load, or if the load deteriorates over even a short period of time (milliseconds).

However, it is possible to damage the device if all the following conditions happen at the same time:

■ there is a step change in the PA load (for example, the load is removed)

■ the PA is transmitting

■ the feed line loss between the PA and the mismatch is <1dB

The effect of such conditions is variable: some devices will not be destroyed, and some may fail after repeated load interruptions.

5.7.4 Connecting an External Frequency Reference

An external reference frequency is not normally required for B band. However, an external reference can be used when you need to maximize the range of the base station. The external reference frequency can be 10MHz or 12.8MHz, with an input level of 300mV stability of this reference should be better than 100 parts per billion. The base station automatically detects the frequency of the external reference and configures itself accordingly.

Notice An external reference is required for simulcast operation.

If an external reference is required, enable the external reference “external reference absent” alarm (Configure > Alarms > Control).

Use a 50Ω coaxial cable (RG58 or RG223) to connect the external reference to the base station’s external reference frequency input. You can daisy-chain up to eight base stations using T-junctions. The maximum overall cable length is 30m. Terminate the last connection (including single base stations) with a 50Ω load.

64 Installation TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual

5.7.5 Connecting a 1PPS Source

A 1PPS signal is required for simulcast base stations. Use a 50Ω coaxial cable (RG58 or RG223) to connect the source to the base station’s 1PPS input. You can daisy-chain up to eight base stations using T-junctions. We recommend that the cable length between the first and last load is kept to a minimum. This will reduce any propagation variation between base stations. The maximum overall cable length is 30m. Terminate the last connection with a 50Ω resistor, otherwise reflections of the 1PPS pulse may occur.

Notice If 1PPS is used, then 1PPS and NTP must both be derived from the same time base. Normally this will be a GPS disciplined source.

The longest length of cable must be between the source and the first base station

Maximum of eight base station loads on one 1PPS output

Use short lengths of cable between each base station

5.7.6 Ethernet Connection

The RJ-45 socket on the reciter’s rear panel provides the 10 BASE-T or 100 BASE-T Ethernet connection to the other devices in the network. Use a Cat-5 cable to connect this socket to the Tait Network via a router or switch.

The Web UI allows you to set the Ethernet port speed auto-negotiation to 10/100 Mbit/s or to negotiate a maximum 10 Mbit/s. Tait recommends that you keep the port speed at the factory default setting of 10 Mbit/s. The reciter hardware and software are scaled to meet the performance requirements of processing multiple voice streams along with supervisory control and management communications. 10 Mbit/s is ample for those requirements. The 10/100 Mbit/s setting is provided for compatibility reasons, but it is possible under high traffic conditions at 100 Mbit/s for traffic arriving at the reciter at the full rate within a small timing window to overflow internal buffers and therefore suffer packet loss. If you set the port speed to 100 Mbit/s and observe QoS lost packet alarms, then review your Ethernet port speed settings.

With the port speed at 10 Mbit/s it is particularly important to set the voice QoS on the reciter port of your site router or switch to a strict priority queue policy - which is the same policy that you should also be setting for your site link ports. The default QoS settings restrict the voice bandwidth to 1/ 25th of the port speed which is smaller than the required bandwidth for typical systems at 10 Mbit/s.

If necessary, refer to “Ethernet Connector” on page 71 for a list of Ethernet connection pin allocations.

The existing Tx key and Rx gate signals are sufficient for balanced audio interconnection with connecting equipment compatible with 5V TTL level signaling. Tait also offers an isolation adapter that provides E&M isolated signaling (order number TBC101A).

Tait recommends E&M isolated signaling be used in the following situations:

■ Locally connected equipment is not 5V TTL signaling compatible

■ There is significant distance between connected equipment, and voltage

transients could cause equipment damage

5.7.8 Setting Up Simplex Operation

Simplex operation allows the base station to use one antenna to either transmit or receive, so the base station cannot transmit and receive at the same time. A coaxial relay switches an antenna between base station receive and transmit automatically.

In single frequency simplex, only one physical radio frequency is used.

Simplex operates in a single base station context and simulcast and nonsimulcast channel group operation.

When the base station is transmitting, the receiver is disabled.

Pin 24 in the 25-way D-range is configured as the relay driver. Refer to Connecting General Purpose Inputs and Outputs for pin-out information.

Warning Switching the PA output while it is operating can dam-

age the PA. It is essential to use a relay that meets the 30 ms operating time specification.

Warning When the base station is in simplex mode using a single

antenna with a coaxial changeover relay, the isolation of this relay must be >40dB to avoid damage to the receiver.

The relay operating time interacts with the base station transmit buffer. Once a transceiver begins receiving a transit stream, it will not begin transmitting that signal until the relay operating time has passed. To avoid any confusion, you must allow at least this much time in the transmit buffer setting (Tx delay for non-simulcast operation, and marshalling duration for simulcast operation).

Tait offers an Antenna Relay Kit which comes complete with installation instructions (402-00119-01).

6 Maintenance

The base station is designed to be very reliable and should require little maintenance. However, performing regular checks will prolong the life of the equipment and prevent problems from happening.

It is beyond the scope of this manual to list every check that you should perform on your base station. The type and frequency of maintenance checks will depend on the location and type of your system. The checks and procedures listed below can be used as a starting point for your maintenance schedule.

Performance Checks

We suggest you monitor the following operational parameters using the web interface:

■ VSWR

■ DC input voltage, especially on transmit

■ any temperature alarms

■ forward power

These basic checks will provide an overview of how well your base station is operating.

Calibration We recommend that you calibrate the base station after three months of

operation, and then annually for H-band reciters, or and every three years for B-band reciters. The calibration procedure is described in the Help (Calibrate > Calibrate > Internal reference), and requires a calibrated frequency generator - a GPS-derived frequency reference is recommended.

DC Input We suggest that you periodically check that the screws on the DC input

terminals are tightened to the recommended torque of 1.3lbf·in (1.7N·m). They may work loose with thermal cycling. Also, if you are using battery back-up, you should check the batteries regularly in accordance with the manufacturer’s recommendations.

Ventilat ion The base station has been designed to have a front-to-back cooling airflow.

We strongly recommend that you periodically check and maintain the ventilation requirements described in “Equipment Ventilation” on page 47 to ensure a long life and trouble-free operation for your base station. Also check for a build-up of dust in and around the front panel air intakes and fan ducts.

Cooling Fans The cooling fans have a long service life and have no special maintenance

requirements.

7 Troubleshooting

Check that all front and rear connectors and cables are in place, and that power switches are on. If problems persist, contact your regional Tait office.

Notice The TB7300 cannot be serviced in the field. It must be returned to your regional Tait office for repair.

Appendix B– Installing the Firmware Package

1.1 Mongoose Installation Package

The installation procedure copies files into a folder and adds items to the Windows Start menu (Start > Programs > Tait Applications > TB9300 From the Start menu you can then access the Help, licenses, manuals and release notes for each firmware package, and also start Mongoose.

You do not have to install Mongoose to make it work, because it is a self-contained executable file. Once started, it will run in the background until stopped, or the computer is shut down. Mongoose must also run from the same folder as the firmware files.

1. Save the zip file to a suitable location on the hard drive of the package server computer.

2. Extract the zip file, then navigate to the root folder and double-click TB9300.msi to run the Windows installer.

Notice Tait recommends that the maximum length of the path to the location of the extracted files is 100 characters. Using a longer path may cause the files to be extracted incorrectly.

1.2 Setting Up a Central Package Server

It is beyond the scope of this manual to describe the exact procedure for setting up a central package server for any particular network. Tait expects that each customer will configure their own package server according to the requirements for their network. However, you do need to configure each base station with the IP address and port of the package server computer:

1. Log in to the base station and select Configure > Base Station > Miscellaneous.

2. Under Package server, enter the IP address and port number of the package server.

3. Download the firmware as described in the Help.

If you click ‘Cancel’ while downloading a firmware package, it takes approximately 20 seconds for the cancellation to take effect and for the base station to respond.

1. The TB7300 is designed to use the same firmware and download system as the TB9300.

72 Appendix B– Installing the Firmware Package TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual

1.2.1 Setting up a Temporary Package Server

If you want to use a laptop as a temporary package server, you can temporarily override the package server IP address and port in each base station.

1. Run Mongoose on the temporary package server (Start > Programs

> Tait Applications > TB9300 > Mongoose).

2. Windows Firewall may raise a Security Alert about allowing

Mongoose to access your network or the internet. a. In Windows 7 allow access to private networks. b. In Windows XP click Unblock.

3. Log in to the base station and select Tools > Firmware > Download.

4. Under Package server, enter the IP address of the laptop. The default

port number is 8080.

5. Download the firmware as described in the Help.

6. If you have trouble with any of the above procedures, please

consider the following points:

■ The firmware download process uses the HTTP protocol. If you

are using a laptop from outside the radio communications network, make sure that HTTP traffic can get through the firewall.

■ If Mongoose fails to start, it may already be running, or another

application may be using port 8080.

■ If the error message “Could not find index file” appears when

listing packages, Windows security may be silently blocking access for Mongoose. Turn off the laptop’s WiFi and temporarily disable its firewall, then try again.

The base station has enough space for two firmware packages.

3.1. Subject to the provisions of this Agreement and the payment of applicable license fees, Tait grants to Licensee a personal, limited, non-transferable (except as permitted in Section 7), and non-exclusive license to use the Software in executable code form, and the Documentation, solely in connection with Licensee's use of the Designated Products for the useful life of the Designated Products. This Agreement does not grant any rights to source code.

3.2. The Licensee acknowledges that one or more Software Keys may be required from Tait for the Software or certain functions or features of the Software. The Licensee may only access, enable and use such Software or functions or features of the Software with Software Keys issued by Tait. Tait may provide the Licensee with a Software Key for the Software or certain functions or features of the Software agreed to by the parties as part of this Agreement. The Software Key may control the functions or features of the Software licensed in accordance with this Agreement. The Licensee’s license to the Software Key is limited to a license to use the Software Key only to access, enable and use the Software or certain functions or features of the Software that Tait has agreed to provide to the Licensee and only in accordance with the Documentation.

3.3. If the Software licensed under this Agreement contains or is derived from Open Source Software, the terms and conditions governing the use of such Open Source Software are in the Open Source Software Licenses of the copyright owner and not in this Agreement. If there is a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the any applicable Open Source Software Licenses, the terms and conditions of the Open Source Software Licenses will take precedence. For information about Open Source Components contained in Tait products and the related Open Source licenses, see: https://www.taitradio.com/opensource

Section 4 LIMITATIONS ON USE

4.1. Licensee may use the Software only for Licensee's internal business purposes and only in accordance with the Documentation. Any other use of the Software is strictly prohibited. Without limiting the general nature of these restrictions, Licensee will not make the Software available for use by third parties on a "time sharing," "application service provider," "service bureau" basis, or for any other similar commercial rental or sharing arrangement.

4.2. Licensee will not, and will not directly or indirectly allow or enable any third party to: (i) reverse engineer, disassemble, extract components, decompile, reprogram, or otherwise reduce the Software or any portion thereof to a human perceptible form or otherwise attempt to recreate the source code; (ii) modify, adapt, create derivative works of, or merge the Software; (iii) copy, reproduce, distribute, lend, or lease the Software or Documentation to any third party; (iv) grant any sublicense or other rights in the

Software or Documentation to any third party; (v) take any action that would cause the Software or Documentation to be placed in the public domain; (vi) remove, or in any way alter or obscure any copyright notice or other notice of Tait or third-party licensor’s proprietary rights; (vii) provide, copy, transmit, disclose, divulge or make the Software or Documentation available to, or permit the use of the Software by, any third party or on any machine except as expressly authorized by this Agreement; or (viii) use, or permit the use of, the Software in a manner that would result in the production of a copy of the Software by any means whatsoever other than what is permitted in this Agreement. Licensee may make one copy of the Software to be used solely for archival, back-up, or disaster recovery purposes; provided that Licensee may not operate that copy of the Software at the same time as the original Software is being operated. Licensee may make as many copies of the Documentation as it may reasonably require for the internal use of the Software.

4.3. Unless otherwise authorized by Tait in writing, Licensee will not, and will not enable or allow any third party to: (i) install a copy of the Software on more than one unit of a Designated Product; or (ii) copy or transfer Software installed on one unit of a Designated Product to any other device. Licensee may temporarily transfer Software installed on a Designated Product to another device if the Designated Product is inoperable or malfunctioning. Temporary transfer of the Software to another device must be discontinued when the original Designated Product is returned to operation and the Software must be removed from the other device.

4.4. Licensee will maintain, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of two years thereafter, accurate records relating to this license grant to verify compliance with this Agreement. Tait, or a third party nominated by Tait, may inspect Licensee’s premises, books and records, upon reasonable prior notice to Licensee, during Licensee’s normal business hours and subject to Licensee's facility and security regulations. Tait is responsible for the payment of all expenses and costs of the inspection, provided that Licensee shall indemnify Tait for all costs (including audit costs and legal costs on a solicitor client basis) if Licensee has breached the terms of this Agreement. Any information obtained by Tait during the course of the inspection will be kept in strict confidence by Tait and used solely for the purpose of verifying Licensee's compliance with the terms of this Agreement.

Section 5 OWNERSHIP AND TITLE

Tait, its licensors, and its suppliers retain all of their Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Software and Documentation, in any form. No rights are granted to Licensee under this Agreement by implication, estoppel or otherwise, except for those rights which are expressly granted to Licensee in this Agreement. All Intellectual Property developed, originated, or prepared by Tait in connection with providing the

Software, Designated Products, Documentation, or related services, remains vested exclusively in Tait, and Licensee will not have any shared development or other Intellectual Property Rights.

Section 6 LIMITED WARRANTY; DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY

6.1. The commencement date and the term of the Software warranty will be a period of one (1) year from Tait shipment of the Software. If Licensee is not in breach of any obligations under this Agreement, Tait warrants that the unmodified Software, when used properly and in accordance with the Documentation and this Agreement, will be free from a reproducible defect that eliminates the functionality or successful operation of a feature critical to the primary functionality or successful operation of the Software. Whether a defect has occurred will be determined solely by Tait. Tait does not warrant that Licensee’s use of the Software or the Designated Products will be uninterrupted, error-free, completely free of Security Vulnerabilities, or that the Software or the Designated Products will meet Licensee’s particular requirements. Tait makes no representations or warranties with respect to any third-party software included in the Software.

6.2 Tait sole obligation to Licensee, and Licensee’s exclusive remedy under this warranty, is to use reasonable efforts to remedy any material Software defect covered by this warranty. These efforts will involve either replacing the media or attempting to correct significant, demonstrable program or documentation errors or Security Vulnerabilities. If Tait cannot correct the defect within a reasonable time, then at Tait option, Tait will replace the defective Software with functionally equivalent Software, license to Licensee substitute Software which will accomplish the same objective, or terminate the license and refund Licensee’s paid license fee. If Tait investigation of the perceived defect reveals that no such defect in fact exists, Tait may recover its costs in respect of such investigation from Licensee.

6.3. Tait disclaims any and all other warranties relating to the Software or Documentation other than the express warranties set forth in this Section 6. Warranties in Section 6 are in lieu of all other warranties whether express or implied, oral or written, and including without limitation any and all implied warranties of condition, title, non-infringement, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose or use by Licensee (whether Tait knows, has reason to know, has been advised of, or is otherwise aware of any such purpose or use), whether arising by law, by reason of custom or usage of trade, or by course of dealing. In addition, Tait disclaims any warranty to any person other than Licensee with respect to the Software or Documentation.

Section 7 TRANSFERS

7.1. Licensee will not transfer the Software or Documentation to any third party without specific prior written consent from Tait. Tait may

withhold such consent or at its own discretion make the consent conditional upon the transferee paying applicable license fees and agreeing to be bound by this Agreement.

7.2. In the case of a value-added reseller or distributor of Tait Designated Products, the consent referred to in Section 7.1 may be contained in a Tait Reseller or Tait Distributor Agreement.

7.3. If the Designated Products are Tait vehiclemounted mobile products or hand-carried portable radio products and Licensee transfers ownership of the Tait mobile or portable radio products to a third party, Licensee may assign its right to use the Software which is embedded in or furnished for use with the radio products and the related Documentation; provided that Licensee transfers all copies of the Software and Documentation to the transferee.

7.4. 7.4.For the avoidance of any doubt, Section

7.3 excludes TaitNet Infrastructure, or the products listed at any time under network products at:

http://www.taitradio.com.

7.5. If Licensee, as a contractor or subcontractor (integrator), is purchasing Tait Designated Products and licensing Software not for its own internal use but for end use only by a Customer, the Licensee may transfer such Software, but only if a) Licensee transfers all copies of such Software and the related Documentation to the transferee and b) Licensee has first obtained from its Customer (and, if Licensee is acting as a subcontractor, from the interim transferee(s) and from the ultimate end user sub license) an enforceable sublicense agreement that prohibits any other transfer and that contains restrictions substantially identical to the terms set forth in this Software License Agreement. Except as stated in the foregoing, Licensee and any transferee(s) authorised by this Section may not otherwise transfer or make available any Tait Software to any third party nor permit any party to do so. Licensee will, on request, make available evidence reasonably satisfactory to Tait demonstrating compliance with all the foregoing.

Section 8 TERM AND TERMINATION

8.1. Licensee’s right to use the Software and Documentation will commence when the Designated Products are supplied by Tait to Licensee and will continue for the life of the Designated Products with which or for which the Software and Documentation are supplied, unless Licensee breaches this Agreement, in which case this Agreement and Licensee's right to use the Software and Documentation may be terminated immediately upon notice by Tait.

8.2. Within thirty (30) days after termination of this Agreement, Licensee must certify in writing to Tait that all copies of the Software have been removed or deleted from the Designated Products and that all copies of the Software and Documentation have been returned to Tait or destroyed by Licensee and are no longer in use by Licensee.

8.3. Licensee acknowledges that Tait made a considerable investment of resources in the development, marketing, and distribution of the Software and Documentation and that Licensee's

82 TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual

breach of this Agreement will result in irreparable harm to Tait for which monetary damages would be inadequate. If Licensee breaches this Agreement, Tait may terminate this Agreement and be entitled to all available remedies at law or in equity including immediate injunctive relief and repossession of all non-embedded Software and associated Documentation. Licensee shall pay all Tait costs (on an indemnity basis) for the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement.

Section 9 CONFIDENTIALITY

11.2. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Licensee acknowledges that the Software may be subject to the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction covering the supply of the Designated Products and will comply with all applicable laws and regulations, including export laws and regulations, of that country.

11.3. ASSIGNMENTS AND SUBCONTRACTING. Tait may assign its rights or subcontract its obligations under this Agreement, or encumber or sell its rights in any Software, without prior notice to, or consent of, Licensee.

11.4. GOVERNING LAW.

Provided however Tait may at its election bring proceedings for breach of the terms hereof or for the enforcement of any judgment in relation to a breach of the terms hereof in any jurisdiction Tait considers fit for the purpose of ensuring compliance with the terms hereof or obtaining relief for breach of the terms hereof.

11.5. THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement is entered into solely for the benefit

of Tait and Licensee. No third party has the right to make any claim or assert any right under this Agreement, and no third party is deemed a beneficiary of this Agreement.

11.8 SECURITY. Tait uses reasonable means in the design and writing of its own Software and the acquisition of third-party Software in order to limit Security Vulnerabilities. While no software can be guaranteed to be free from Security Vulnerabilities, if a Security Vulnerability is discovered, Tait will take the steps specified in Section 6 of this Agreement.

11.9 EXPORT. Licensee will not transfer, directly or indirectly, any Designated Product, Documentation or Software furnished hereunder or the direct product of such Documentation or Software to any country for which New Zealand or any other applicable country requires an export license or other governmental approval without first obtaining such license or approval.

11.10 SEVERABILITY. In the event that any part or parts of this Agreement shall be held illegal or null and void by any court or administrative body of competent jurisdiction, such determination shall not affect the remaining terms which shall remain in full force and effect as if such part or parts held to be illegal or void had not been included in this Agreement. Tait may replace the invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable provision that achieves the original intent and economic effect of this Agreement.

11.11 CONSUMER GUARANTEES. Licensee acknowledges that the licenses supplied in terms of this agreement are supplied to Licensee in business, and that the guarantees and other provisions of prevailing consumer protection legislation shall not apply.
