6

X242-2009-

3

9 = 900 MHz

2 = 25 - 75W
4 = 75 - 160W

This repeater is modular in design for ease of ser­vice. There are separate assemblies for the logic
cards, receiver

, exciter, power amplifier and power

supply sections.

This repeater is programmed wit h a l apt op or per ­sonal compu ter using the repeater software, Part No.
023-9998-459.

When the repeaters are installed in an environ­ment that contains small airborne particles, e.g. grain
dust or salt fog, the repeater cabinets need to be
sealed. A heat exchanger, i.e. air conditioner, is then
required to cool the cabinets. The air conditioners
must be suited for the environment. Each

low power
repeater (75W) requires >1200 BTU/hr dissipation to
maintain exte rior cabinet te mperature. Ea ch

high
power (160W or 175W) requires >2100 BTU/hr dissi­pation to maintain exterior cabinet temperature.

1.4.1 TRUNKED SYSTEM

A trunked radio system, as defined by the FCC, is
a "method of operation in which a number of radio
frequency pairs are assigned to radios and base sta­tions in the system for use as a trunk group". Trunk­ing is the pooling of radio channels where all users
have automatic access to al l channels red ucing waiting
time and increasing channel capacity for a given qual­ity of service.

3 = 12.5 kHz

6 = LTR-Net

1.4 REPEATER DESCRIPTION

The VIKING VX 900 MHz repeater is designed
for operation in a LTR-Net and LTR system. It oper­ates on the 900 MHz channels from 935-940 MHz
(repeater transmit). The repeater receive frequencies
are 39 MHz below these frequenc ie s ( 896- 901 MHz) .
Channel spacing is 12.5 kHz and RF power output is
adjustable from 25 to 75 watts (Part No. 242-2009-

632) or 75-160W (Part No. 242-2009-634) with the
high power amplifier.

Trunking concepts are based on the theory that
individual subscribers use the system a small percent­age of the time and that a large number of subscribers
will not try to use the system at the exact same time.

1.4.2 LTR-NET TRUNKED SYSTEM

LTR-Net repeater operation is automatic and is
similar to a LTR repeater in which a logic module per­forms the call functions and communicates over-the­air to subscriber uni ts . Ther e must be one repeater for
each RF channel and each repeater contains a logic
module responsible for signaling on its own channel.
Logic modules then share information with all other
repeaters in the system via inter-repeater communica­tion.

March 1999

1-1

Part No. 001-2009-600

INTRODUCTION AND OPERATION

System control is accomplished by t he exchange
of data messages between radio and repeater. The
LTR-Net system trunks up to 20 channels by utilizing
continuous subaudible digital data applied to the RF
carrier simultaneously with voice modulation. There­fore, no dedicated control channel is required and all
channels are used for voice communications for maxi­mum system efficiency. Each radio is assigned a
Home Channel which sends system commands to
specified radios. There are normal words and special
function words. The special function words are used
to initiate special calls; Telephone, Unique ID, and
Data by Unique ID. The special function words are
also used for command calls: Interrogate, Kill, Reas­sign, Electronic Serial number Authentication, Regis­tration, De-Registration, etc.

Since each repeater is responsible for signaling
on its own channel, this approach lends itself well to a
distributed processing logic controlled approach
requiring only a small logic unit within each repeater.
These processors share information over a communi­cation path. This architecture permits each repeater to
be autonomous. A failure in one repeater leaves the
remainder of the system intact and operational.

The repeaters may be connected to a larger sys­tem. This allows the system to perform some of the
previously mentioned calls. The Switch may commu­nicate from one LTR-Net Locality to another. The
system equipment may be centrally located or distrib­uted at each Locality. A Locality is a set of repeaters
that are interconnected to pool the channels in a
trunked channel group.

1.5 LTR-Net SIGNALING

The repeater covered by this manual utilizes
LTR-Net signaling. This signaling provides advanced
features such as 65504 Unique ID codes, five lev el s of
access priority, home channel backup, and over -the- air
mobile reprogramming. LTR-Net signaling and
repeater control is provided by the Main Processor
Card. The repeater conne cts t o the 3000 Series Swi tch
using a phone line or some other type of link. The
Switch provides overall system control (see Sections

1.14 and 5 for more information on LTR-Net equip­ment and features).

transmitted on the lowest-frequency repeater. The
CWID is a continuous-wave (CW) transmission of the
station call letters in Morse Code to satisfy the station
identification requi rement. The CWID is progr ammed
into the repeater memory. This indicator also is used
when an alarm is transmitted with Morse code.

INTRODUCTION AND OPERATION

1.13.5 POWER SUPPLY

The 2000 Series Repeater Power Supply is a quad
output 800W supply with power factor correction. A
battery back-up module, PN 023-2000-830, can be
added to the power supply to provide automatic bat­tery revert in the event of AC power failure (see Sec­tion 1.4) The Battery Back-Up module charges the
batteries when AC is present at the power supply (see
Section 1.5 and 8.6).

1.14 LTR-Net SYSTEM COMPONENTS

1.14.1 INTRODUCTION

The main components in a LTR-Net system are
shown in Figure 1-3. An LTR-Net system can be
designed to meet the requi reme nts of almost any user.
The following are LTR-Net features.

• With LTR-Net signaling, advance d feat ures suc h as

up to 65504 Unique ID codes, automatic mobile
identification, home cha nnel backup, and five levels
of access priority are available.

• Users of differen t types of ra dio equipment can talk

to each other.
Example: a Conventional mobile channel cou ld talk
to a mobile operating on a LTR-Net (trunked)
900 MHz channel.

• Wide area radio coverage can be provided so that a

mobile could talk to another mobile that is using a
repeater that may be hundreds of mil es away. That
repeater may be part of the same LTR-Net system or
another LTR-Net system. Phone line or other types
of links can be used to provide the communication
path.

LTR-Net systems are not restricted to a specific
type of signaling. Example : an ent ire LTR-Net system
could be designed using Conventional channels which
use tone- or digitally-controlled squelch. The various
types of signaling can also be mixed in a system.

Example: There could be:

Check with your Johnson represen tative for more
information concerning the capabilities of LTR-Net
systems.

The following sections provide a br ief descript ion
of the LTR-Net components see Figure 1-3.

1.14.2 MOBILE TRANSCEIVERS

The mobile and handheld transceivers used in a
LTR-Net system must be compatible with the type of
signaling in use and also the frequency range.

LTR-Net transceivers can be programmed for
LTR and Conventional operation. However, some
LTR transceivers can only be programmed for LTR
and Conventional operation. The main difference
between LTR-Net and LTR only versions of the same
model is the so ftware in the m icroprocessor.

1.14.3 REPEATERS

NOTE: The Summit QX does not require a
separate LTR-Net logic drawer.

The repeater model used in a LTR-Net system is
determined by frequency range, 900 MHz use the
Summit QX 2009 repeaters. There is one repeater for
each RF channel.

Inter-Repeater Data Communication

Data communication between LTR-Net or LTR
repeaters is via a high-speed data bus. This bus cable
is installed in a daisy-chain manner between repeat­ers. If both LTR-Net and LTR repeaters are located at
a Locality, only like types are connected together. Up
to 20 LTR-Net or 20 LTR repeaters can be intercon­nected (see Section 1.9 for connecting the data bus).

Repeater Connection To Switch

The repeaters can be located at the same Locality
as the Switch or they may be located at a Locality that
is many miles from the Switch. A voice and data link
is required between the repeaters and Switch. This
link can be a direct connection, phone lines, micro­wave, RF transceiver, fiber optic, or some other type
of link. This link is connected to the repeater terminal
block on the back of the repeater.

required for the call. On Switch-to-mobile calls, the
data fed to the repeater allows the Switch to operate
the repeater like a base station.

There are three di f fere nt type s of links that can be
selected for the data path between each repeater and
the Switch. The MPC is programmed for the type of
link used (see Section 1.11).

The voice link routes transceiver voice to and
from the Switch. The voice must be routed to the
Switch when a call involves a dispatcher, telephone
interconnect, or another RF channel or LTR-Net sys­tem. If the call is a mobile-to-mobile call on the sam e
RF channel, the voice is simply repeated by the
repeater (it is also routed to the Switch but is not con­nected to anything). The voice path input/output port
interfaces with a standard 4-wire, 600 ohm phone line.

The data link allows the Switch to control the
repeater. With mobile-to-repeater calls, the data fed to
the Switch is used to dete rmine what r outing is

• A 4-Wire v oice-grade link ca n be used that is simi lar

to the audio link. The data is then sent as tones usi ng
FSK modulation.

• RS-232 serial inputs and outputs are available for

direct connection or connection to a l ink that accepts
RS-232 data.

• Data can be modulated as in ’1’ and then sent over

the voice path using a Blank and Burst technique.
Only one 4-wire link is then needed between each
repeater and the Switch.

INTRODUCTION AND OPERATION

1.14.4 SWITCH

The Switch can connect s everal di ff erent for ms of
communication together to form a communication net­work that requires the Call Processor. It has up to six
shelves with 12 or 16 device slots each (72 or 96 slots
available) and up to three racks (for 216 or 288 slots).
Many different modules are available to complete the
network. Some modules have specific device slot
requirements.

1.14.5 CALL PROCESSOR AND SYSTEM AND

SUBSCRIBER MANAGER

The Call Processor, along with the System and
Subscriber Manager, controls the LTR-Net System.



The Call Processor (CP) is an IBM

PC or compatible
computer that is running the EFJohnson management
program. The System and Subscriber Manager soft­ware is used b y the System Ad ministrator to program,
control and continuously monitor Switch operation,
and provides logging of information for billing pur­poses.

The System and Subscriber Manager (SSM) is a
program that executes on an IBM PC or compatible
computer. The function of the SSM is to manage the
database information tha t the Call Proces sor use s in it s
operation. The SSM has the capability to generate
reports from the logged information of the CP. The
SSM also has the ability to setup and initiate such
activities as Dynamic Reprogramming of certain
mobile parameters (Group 11), disabling (Kill) of lost
or stolen mobiles and many other functions.

1.14.6 LOCALITY

A Locality is the location where one or more
repeaters are housed. Trunked system repeaters are
connected to the same high-speed data bus and are
required to be located close together. LTR-Net can
have a maximum of 20 repeaters at a Locality. One
CIM (Channel Interface Module) is required for each
LTR-Net repeater. A CCM (Conventional Channel
Module) is required for a conventional channel.

1.14.7 HOME REPEATER CHANNEL

All LTR-Net mobiles have one of the Locality
repeaters assigned as their "Home Repeater". This
repeater handles the data and audio unless a failure
causes the Status Rep eat er to take ov er. The Group ID
calls use the Ho me Repeater number in ident if y i ng the
mobiles (see Section 1.15.3).

1.14.8 STATUS REPEATER CHANNEL

The Status Repeater Channel is one repeater at a
Locality designated to transmit update informat ion for
all calls occurr ing at that Locality. The Status repeater
is a "Home Repeater" backup usually not assigned
voice traffic.

1.14.9 MONITOR REPEATER CHANNEL

This is the repeater channel that a mobile is cur­rently monitoring for upda te messages. This repeater
may be either the mobile’s Home Repeater or the
Locality Status Repeater. A special algorithm is used
by the mobile to determine which is to be monitored.
Generally, it is the last repeater that a valid data mes­sage was detected on.

1.14.10 HOME CHANNEL ALIASING

The LTR-Net Home Channel Aliasing feature
increases the number of addresses available on a
Locality for Group calls. It does this by allowing calls
to be programmed on non-exisent Home repeaters.

Each Home repeater can be programmed with 1­239 Group ID codes. Assume a Locality has four
active repeaters and one of these is the Status repeater
(that is normally not assigned as a Home repeater).
The number of calls that can be programmed are then
as follows:

Without Aliasing - 3 x 239 or 717 calls
With Aliasing - 20 x 239 or 4780 calls

When a call is placed on a non-existent Home
repeater, the subscriber unit automatically uses the
next lower numbered active repeater.

NOTE: Since this feature does not increase system
capacity, adding too many users may result in unsatis­factory operation due to frequency busy conditions.

INTRODUCTION AND OPERATION

1.14.11 TELEPHONE INTERCONNECT AND DATA TRANSMISSION

Mobile transceivers can be used to access the
PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network). How­ever, this interconnect operation must be on a second­ary basis to dispatch operation. An exception is when
the trunked system or channel is assigned exclusively
to one user.

Mobiles may place telephone calls through the
PSTN (Public Switch Telephone Network) or a PABX
(Private Automatic Branch E xchange) using the Inter­connect special call. When the Call Processor detects
a mobile placing an interconnect ca ll, it checks to see
if it is authorized that service determined by the Sys­tem and Subscriber Manager and what type of call it is
making. If it is authorized, the Switch completes the
connection through the TIM (Telephone Interface
Module) to the telephone networ k. The Call Process or
performs the record keeping needed for billing.

Data transmission and paging ar e also al lowed on
these frequencies. It also must be secondary to voice
communicati on. Refer to applicable FCC rules and
regulations fo r more information.

1.14.12 PUBLIC SWITCHED TELEPHONE NET-

WORK (PSTN)

If interconnect calls are to be placed by mobiles
or landside users to mobiles, the Switch is connected
to the PSTN (Public Switched Telephone Network).
The specific mobiles which can place calls and other
interconnect parameters are determined by how the
System Manager programs the System and Subscriber
Manager/Call Processor and by the programming of
each mobile transceiver.

1.14.13 PRIVATE AUTOMATIC BRANCH EX-

CHANGE (PABX)

The system has the ability to connect to a PABX
or PBX. This allows mobile orig inate d calls to use t he
dial access codes and the least cost routing facility of
the PABX/PBX.

1.14.14 PULSE CODE MODULATION (PCM)

PCM typically runs on the voice buses at 2.048
MHz. The Switch provides 32-Time Slots for sending
of audio.

1.15 LTR-Net FEATURES

1.15.1 STANDARD AND SPECIAL CALLS

There are two types of calls with LTR-Net signal­ing; Standard Calls and Special Cal ls. Group ID codes
1-239 are Standard (dispatch) calls, and Group ID
codes 240-247 are Special Calls.

As previously stated, up to 239 Group ID codes
are assignable on each Home repeater. When a trans­ceiver monitors i ts Home o r S tat us repe ater, it receives
data messages containing a Home repeater number,
Group ID, and Unique ID code (refer to Section

1.15.2). When it detects its Home repeater and a
Group ID from 1-239 that i t i s prog rammed to decode,
it unsquelches and the call is received. The correct
Unique ID code does not need to be detected to
receive a Standard Call. Standard Calls are limited to
other transceivers assigned to the s ame Home repeater .
However, each selectable system of a transceiver can
be programmed with a different Home repeater to
allow calls to mobiles assigned to other Home repeat­ers if desired.

If a Group ID from 240-247 is r ecei ved, a Spec ial
Call is indicated and the transceiver will respond
according to the type of call. Special calls are used to
perform many of the special LTR-Net features
described in this section. Examples of Special Calls
are calls to a specific transceiver (Unique ID), Group
(Directed Group) or Telephone Interconnect. Others
are Interrogate, Interconnect, and Transceiver Dis­able. Generally, a transceiver must decode its Unique
ID code to respond to a Special Call.

1.15.2 UNIQUE ID CODES

Each transceiver is programmed with a Unique
ID code in addition to Group ID codes. Unique ID
codes are assigned on a system-wide basis, not on a
repeater basis as with Group IDs . Up to 655 04 Uni que
ID codes can be assigned per Switch.

Whenever a transceiver makes a call, it always
transmits its Uniqu e ID in a dditi on to a Group ID. Any
control point equipped with a decoder and display
capable of listeni ng to that transcei ver can th en displa y
the ID of that unit. This provides automatic identifica­tion of transceivers making calls.

March 1999

1-11

Part No. 001-2009-600

INTRODUCTION AND OPERATION

Unique IDs also permit indivi dual mob ile un its t o
be called using the special calls described in the pre­ceding section. Calls can also be made to individual
transceivers using standard call Group IDs 1-239 if an
ID is assigned to only one transceiver.

1.15.3 GROUP IDENTIFICATION CALLS

The Group ID (1-239) is assigned to each LTR­Net Home Repeater. A "standard" Group ID call is
accepted by a mobile if its Home Repeater and Group
ID are in the data message. A "special" calls are Tele­phone Interconnect calls, UID calls and Directed
Group calls (Auxiliary calls). Telephone Interconnect
Calls are assigned a Token Group ID (240-247)
assigned by the repeater upon request from a mobile.
Telephone Interconnect calls, Unique ID calls and
Directed Group Calls all require the System and Sub­scriber Manager/Call Processor to provide authoriza­tion.

1.15.4 ALARM FORWARDING TO SWITCH

Repeater alarms are routed to the CIB (Channel
Interface Bus) t o be d etect ed by th e Call Proce ssor and
the System and Subscriber Manager.
