transmitter
Front panel The front panel control unit A8 with LCD and keyboard A9 make local
control unit control of the radio possible on a lab bench or for activities such as
installation and maintenance. The RF signal issued at common antenna X3
is demodulated in the transmitter module and can be audio-monitored at
any time via the built-in loudspeaker. You can control the volume by means
of the volume control on the front panel.
The main fan is controlled and monitored by the control unit A8.
USB interface You can configure and make basic settings for the radio via the USB
interface on the front panel. In addition you can download software of all
firmware components via the USB. The main backplane A6, which
connects all modules, contains a USB hub and connects the transmitter's
USB interface controller with the front panel control unit A7.
Remote control Remote control is performed as standard via the Ethernet − LAN interface
“Ethernet − LAN Remote Control X6” using the powerful R&S remote-
control protocol GB2PP.
Power supply The radio can be powered by AC and/or DC voltage. If the AC source fails,
the radio automatically switches to the DC source. You can switch the
radio on with the switch on the front panel A7.
Display LEDs indicate the current operating state at all times. You can display the
operating settings, radio configuration, analog measurement values and
status in detail on an eight-row LCD.
Audio interface On the system side the 600 ohm audio interface “TX Audio Basic X5” is
connected to the rear panel and the PTT keying is activated. You can
flexibly configure the PTT input via service PC and adjust it to the voltage
conditions (–48 V, +28 V, optocoupler input) in the system.
Note: Audio interface can also support digital audio interfaces of E1 and
VoIP.
Main and For redundant system installations with 1:1 switchover, the main and
standby function standby radios are connected with each other via hardware contacts. This
allows quick switchover without any delay in the event of a failure. In
addition, an antenna relay can be connected and controlled.
Extended DSUB The 15-contact extended DSUB interface “TX Audio Extended X7”
interface provides discrete digital control contacts too.
Transmit antenna The transmit antenna is connected to N-connector X3. The transmitter
consists of power board A4 with 200 Wpep output stage and analog/digital
board A1 with the main VCXO/clock processing unit, VCO/synthesizer, 600
ohm audio interface, DSP, LAN and USB controller. The AM
and ACARS modulation signals are processed digitally in the baseband
and transformed to output frequency via the I/Q modulator. The output
signal of the transmit output stage is coupled out and linearized via
feedback loop. The VHF transmitter R&S SU 4200 includes a Cartesian I/Q
control loop. Modules A4 and A1 are mounted on the high-power heat sink
and are cooled by the fan.
Main TCXO The main TCXO on the A6 backplane board serves as the reference for the
radio and can be easily adjusted via the USB interface.

Control Interfaces\Control interfaces "Radio".doc
Operation Operation can be performed locally on the built-in front panel control unit or
remotely via the USB or Ethernet – LAN interface. Operational parameters
such as setting the frequency, changing the channel spacing or activating
presets can be controlled. In addition, the current status Information and
indicators such as GO, ACTIVE, SQ, CARRIER or VSWR can be received
from the transmitter and displayed.
Maintenance Maintenance status parameters can be read out via the USB or
Ethernet – LAN interfaces, and the built-in front panel control unit. The
transmitter delivers the result of the continuous built-in test (CBIT) and the
event list, which saves all events with the time information of occurrence.
Maintenance activities can be performed and controlled via the built-in front
panel control unit and remotely via the USB or Ethernet – LAN interface.
The transmitter provides commands for switching over from main to standby
(and vice versa) and for performing a test transmission. In addition, the
device can be reset or the real time clock (RTC) can be initialized locally or
remotely.
Performance values Performance values can be read out over the built- in front panel control
unit or over the Ethernet – LAN interface. Parameters such as modulation
depth, temperatures, voltages, power levels and VSWR can be measured.
Configuration Configuration of the transmitter can be performed with the Service and
Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200, which runs on a standard PC or laptop.
Connected via service PC, the radio provides easy and fast configuration of
the radio basic parameters such as IP address, PTT timeout, power audio-
levels and preset pages.
The configuration files can be saved and loaded to the transmitter. The
configuration process is very convenient and allows you to quickly configure
an entire rack. In case of service, the defective radio can be “cloned” and
the parameters loaded to a replacement radio.
Preset loading Up to 200 preset pages can be loaded via the USB or Ethernet – LAN
interfaces.
Inventory All hardware and software components can be read out on all
the USB or Ethernet – LAN interfaces and are visible on the
built-in display.
Software update The R&S DS 4200 software is delivered as a CD ROM and contains all
software components, which are automatically loaded to the radio modules
via the USB interface. The Service and Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200
provides a software download manager, crosschecks the hardware and
software and ensures a proper software download.

3.3.2 Meaning of Parameters

Default setting description\Default setting description "Radio".doc
TX Audio Level This parameter refers to the modulation input (connector X5.2/3). With the
default setting, the modulation sensitivity is 0 dBm – which means that at
an AF level of 775 mV at this 600 ohm input, the AM transmitter is driven
and modulated at 90 % modulation. The input can be configured from
− 30 dBm to +10 dBm in accordance with the line infrastructure and the
incoming signal levels. The sensitivity is greatest at − 30 dBm, which
means that the full modulation of 90 % is achieved even at a low level.
TX Output Power Using this parameter, you can define the transmit power between 5 W and
Level Low 20 W. This value is then adopted with the Low setting (see chapter
3.4.7.2).
TX Output Power Using this parameter, you can define the transmit power between 5 W and
Level Normal 50 W. This value is then adopted with the Normal setting (see chapter
3.4.7.2).
TX AM Modulation The modulation depth for the AM modulation can be set.

Depth When the automatic level control (see TX Audio ALC parameter) is
activated, the set AM modulation is ensured over a dynamic range of
±15 dB at the TX audio level interface (X5.2/3).
Note: The AM modulation should be left at 90 % all the time, since the
radio link is best at this value.
TX Audio ALC The automatic level control for the audio modulation can be switched on
and off.
When this function is activated, the set AM modulation depth (see TX AM
Modulation Depth parameter) is ensured over a dynamic range of ±15 dB
at the TX audio level interface (X5.2/3).
Note: If an automatic level control is active in the system external to the
radio, then the level control of the radio should be switched off.
PTT Timeout A time limit can be set for the transmit time. This prevents the radio from
transmitting for an unlimited amount of time if the PTT key is pressed
(stuck). With a value of 0 s, the time limit is switched off.
Note: It is recommended to disable the PTT Timeout in the VoIP mode.
PTT Input There are three different input configurations for the rear PTT input
Configuration (connector X5.8/9).
Type I stands for optocoupler input.
Type II should be configured if the system ground (= ground of the PTT
key) does not have the same potential as the rack ground. In this case, the
PTT circuit is fed via the negative voltage of − 48 V in the radio.
With the Rohde & Schwarz standard, a pull-up resistor is switched against
the positive voltage of +28 V in the radio.
5-Carrier Offset The transmitter allows different frequency offsets to be set. Normally the
2-carrier, 3-carrier and 4-carrier offset with the values of −7.5 kHz /
−7.3 kHz / −5 kHz / −2.5 kHz / 0 kHz / +2.5 kHz / +5 kHz / +7.3 kHz / +7.5
kHz are available. In addition, the 5-carrier offset can be selected; this
provides −8 kHz / −4 kHz / +4 kHz / +8 kHz in the transmitter.
6174.7389.02.01 3.12
ACARS Data Mode With this parameter the radio can be configured for voice (disabled) or
ACARS data operation (enabled) (2400 Bps).
The Voice setting is optimized for voice processing and squelch muting.
The ACARS setting is available for receiving ACARS data. In this case a
faster RF front-end control is in action. The attack and decay time is in
accordance with the ETSI EN 300676 standard.
If the radio is operating in ACARS data mode, only the 25 kHz spacing can
be used and the parameter TX Audio ALC must be deactivated.
Select Audio Interface This parameter is used to select the audio interface of the radio. If the
Analog Audio is selected, the TX Audio Basic interface X5 is used. If the
E1 is selected, the E1 – Communication Data interface X14 is used. For
more information on E1 interface please refer to chapter 3.10 Audio via E1
Interface. If VoIP is selected, audio data will be transmitted via Ethernet by
the data interface X9 (TX) (see chapter 3.13) and TX Audio Basic interface
X5. For parallel operation of VoIP and Analog Audio interfaces, please see
chapter 3.13.9 Parallel Operation of the Analog and VoIP Audio Interfaces.
Set/Get Values for 200 preset pages can be stored in the radio and called up. Each contains
Preset Page the frequency and spacing parameters. These parameters can be set for
each preset page.
Installation Info Information (up to 20 characters) can be entered to describe the radio
more precisely.
Location Info Only the first 20 characters entered by using the R&S ZS 4200 appear on
the radio display.
IP Address An IP address must be assigned for each radio module, which allows each
module to be uniquely identified and operated in remote operating mode.
Additionally specifying the netmask and the gateway makes it possible to
work within different subnets via a router.
Second IP Address The radio supports 2 IP addresses on the same physical LAN port
Enabled ("IP Aliasing"). This parameter enables or disables the use of the second
IP address.
If disabled, the radio serves all LAN connections on the primary interface
(parameter "IP Address").
If enabled, VoIP services (SIP/RTP) are only accessible via the primary IP
address (parameter "IP Address"), while all other service types (e.g.
GB2PP, SNMP) can be accessed via the second IP interface (parameter
"Second IP Address").
Second IP Address This parameter configures the Second IP address in IPv4 or IPv6 mode if
the functionality "Second IP Address Enabled" has been enabled.
ACL Here you can enter the IP addresses of the remote control systems or
(Access Control List) clients that are allowed to access the radio. This protects the radio against
unwanted/unknown accesses. If the list is blank (default), then any client
with any IP address can access the radio.
Main/Standby Type The main/standby type declares if a radio should start up as an active main
radio or as an inactive standby radio. If the common AC- or DC-supply of a
main/standby installation is powered up, then the radio will boot
accordingly.
3.13 6174.7389.02.01
Line Interface in In local mode, the rear and front panel audio interfaces as well as the VoIP
Local Mode and E1 data streams operate in parallel (default). The rear panel audio line
interface (including PTT) as well as the VoIP and E1 data streams can be
disabled for the local mode. This allows independent use of the radio for a
service technician where unwanted radio keying from the system-oriented
PTT line input must be prevented.
Local Mode You can disable the LOC button on the radio to prevent the radio from
being switched from remote mode to local mode.
Local Mode Timeout Local mode will be quit automatically if there is no further
activity on the front-panel radio keys or if local PTT (Push-To-Talk) is not
re-keyed any longer. Timeout can be set between 60 s and 900 s, or
disabled (0).
EXT VSWR Limit The external VSWR limit specifies the voltage threshold for the analog
input EXT_VSWR (X7.8). Especially for installations with external
circulators the voltage from an external SWR-detector can be connected to
the radio in order to generate CBIT warning 0338. The external VSWR
input is only processed during active TX state.
EXT VSWR Polarity Polarity of the external VSWR voltage. Positive polarity means the CBIT is
generated if the measured value is above the defined limit. Negative
polarity means the measured value is below the defined limit.
Single Channel Fixed frequency cannot be changed. Frequency must be configured before
activating this function.
Motor Tuned Telsa It is possible to connect an external automatic filter to the radio. Either
Filter Telsa or R&S filter can be used. In order to activate RS-422 interface, the
configuration parameter has to be enabled.
Note: The X-cross adapter KG42-Z75 is required for operation with the
R&S filter Fx22x.
Note: Enabling the external automatic filter will limit the frequency range of
the radio to 118 MHz … 155.9916 MHz.
Mute Loudspeaker The loudspeaker of the radio can be muted if the PTT is keyed.
External Power The parameter External Power Amplifier has to be set to R&S or Jotron in
Amplifier order to control an externally connected power amplifier. Please refer to
chapter 3.11 External Power Amplifier.
Frequency Blocking Up to eight frequency blocking ranges can be defined. The device will
Ranges refuse any set frequency command from MMI local operation or from
remote control which is within these frequency blocking ranges.
The configured frequency blocking ranges have to fit to the radio’s
frequency range from 112 MHz to 155.991666 MHz.
PTT Signaling PTT can be keyed by a tone with a specified frequency that is present
within AF signal. If the parameter is on, the tone is detected and controls
the PTT function. The tone itself is suppressed within transmitted signal by
a notch filter.
PTT Signaling The frequency of the PTT tone is variable within a specified range.
Frequency
6174.7389.02.01 3.14
PTT Signaling The level threshold of the PTT tone detector is variable within specified
Threshold range and is related to nominal audio signal level set by “TX Audio Level”.
Note: In case of low absolute levels, the S/N ratio in the system must be
taken into account. Make sure that the S/N ratio does not fall below a
specific value. The applicable value in each case is calculated from the
audio level minus the PTT signaling level for the transmitter. If the setting
with 0 dB in-band signaling is selected, the headroom for the sum level is
reduced by 6 dB.
TX Preemphasis For the use especially with long telephone lines, the AF response shape
can be adjusted in a way that higher frequencies have higher gain than
lower frequencies. The value in dB specifies the gain at AF = 3400 Hz in
comparison to AF = 800 Hz. Nominal TX audio level is always related to
AF = 1 kHz. Default value is 0 dB which means that TX preemphasis is off.
SNMP Community Name of the SNMP communication community. It is used to restrict the
String network access.
SNMP Enable The parameter is used to enable and disable the SNMP functionality of the
radio on the LAN interface.
If the parameter is set to "Disable", the SNMP functionality is disabled and
only GB2PP protocol is supported via LAN. If the parameter is set to
"Enable", both GB2PP and SNMP protocols are supported.
Note: It is strongly recommended to disable the SNMP protocol if only the
GB2PP protocol is used.
E1 Alarm for Inactive The parameter is used to enable/disable the transfer of the inactive
Warning warning via the E1 interface.
DC-Battery The voltage during battery operation can be monitored. If the voltage is too
Supervision low, two responses in the radio can be triggered.
The Warning setting generates the CBIT warnings 0301, which are output
via the remote system connected.
The NOGO setting sets the TEST_OC signal at the output
(connector X5.4) and initiates a switchover to the standby mode in
a main/standby configuration. This setting is recommended if, for example,
two separate DC networks are used for the main and standby radios.
AC-Main The voltage during network operation can be monitored. If the voltage is
Supervision too low, two responses in the radio can be triggered:
The warning setting generates the CBIT warnings 0302, which are output
via the remote system connected.
The NOGO setting sets the TEST_OC signal at the output
(connector X5.4) and initiates a switchover to the standby mode in
a main/standby configuration. This setting is recommended if, for example,
two separate AC networks are used for the main and standby radios.
Note: If the AC-Mains fail, operation automatically switches to the standby
radio. Otherwise the DC battery of the main radio would be
unnecessarily discharged.
3.15 6174.7389.02.01
VoIP radio URI TX This is the unified identifier for VoIP communication of the TX module. This
identifier consists of two parts concluded with the “@” sign
user@<IP Address> or user@<Full Qualified Domain Name> eg.
user@muenchen.rohde-schwarz.de.
The URI can be up to 64 characters. Characters and other naming
conventions have to follow the RFC 3986 rules. Using the reserved
characters makes the URI invalid and thus the VoIP operation is not
possible.
The default value of URI TX module is tx@192.168.52.102.
VoIP PTT Summation This setting is used for enabling/disabling of PTT summation for multiple
Mode RTP audio streams.
VoIP Jitter Buffer In order to compensate network delays, the VoIP implementation of the
Prefetch Value radio uses a so called Jitter Buffer. The adjustment of this buffer controls
the delay between sender and receiver.
Note: An inadequate value can cause interrupted audio flow. The optimal
value is system-specific and has to be found during the system-setup.
Emergency VoIP URI The VoIP mode of the radio offers the possibility to configure the access for
ACL VoIP connections. Each entry contained in the URI ACL grants access to
establish VoIP connections to the radio. In default configuration the URI
ACL is a whitelist. This means that accessing the radio via VoIP is not
restricted. The URI ACL can contain up to 20 entries with a maximum of 64
characters per entry.
Emergency VoIP URI ACL stores URI of the VoIP clients which are allowed
to access the radio with either normal or emergency call priority.
Normal VoIP URI ACL Compared to Emergency VoIP URI ACL the Normal VoIP URI ACL stores
URI of the VoIP clients which are allowed to access the radio with normal
call priority.
Permit Only ACL URI This configuration parameter enables or disables acceptance of the VoIP
Call session requests which only have URIs matching the VoIP URI ACL lists.
Coupling PTT This parameter enables or disables additional summing of the VoIP RTP
Summation stream of the SIP call-type “coupling” and PTT-type “coupling” together
with the RTP streams selected for the transmission.
Note: The setting of this parameter will end all active SIP sessions.
Primary Domain Name This parameter is used to setup an IP address of a Domain Name Server.
Server
Secondary Domain This parameter is used to setup an IP address of a Domain Name Server
Name Server which is used for backup purposes.
RTP Port Range Start The real time transport protocol uses several IP ports for communication
with VCS or the R&S GB4000V. This parameter sets the start port for the
port range which can be used for VoIP audio streams.
DSCP Value The radio supports Differentiated Services (DiffServ) as defined by RFC
2474 and RFC 2475 in such a way that each different traffic type can be
marked with a specific differentiated service code point (DSCP) value.
6174.7389.02.01 3.16
ATR Switch Mode The radio is able to control different external antenna relays.
If the ATR Switch Mode „R&S Default“ is selected, the radio is switched on
and in inactive mode (stand-by), 0 VDC is applied on the V_OP_SW
contact. As soon as the radio goes to active mode (manually or
automatically), +28 VDC is available at the V_OP_SW contact. The voltage
goes back to 0 VDC only once the radio is switched off or the inactive
mode is selected.
The ATR Switch Mode “R&S Default“ is used to control a normal relay.
If the ATR Switch Mode “Latching” is selected and the radio is in active
mode, the V_OP_SW contact goes from 0 VDC to +28 VDC for 200 ms
each time the PTT is activated and then goes back to 0 VDC. The keying
of the transmitter is delayed by 15 ms to allow the external relay to change
over before transmitting. When the radio is in inactive mode, the voltage on
the V_OP_SW contact stays at 0 VDC.
The ATR Switch Mode “Latching” is used to control a latching relay.
Audio Delay This parameter is used for delay setting on the audio line.
FTP Login The parameter needs to be configured to allow remote software download.
If left empty, the Remote Software Download cannot be used (see chapter
3.14 Software Download).
Note: The FTP Login cannot have values “FTP” and “Anonymous”.
FTP Password The parameter needs to be configured to allow remote software download.
If left empty, the Remote Software Download cannot be used (see chapter
3.14 Software Download).
Frequency Operating frequency in Hz. Only the values compatible with the selected
channel spacing are accepted.
Channel spacing Channel spacing. Only the spacings compatible with the current operating
frequency and mode are accepted.
Modulation Mode Radio operating mode. Only the modes compatible with the current
operating frequency and channel spacing are accepted.
RF Power Level Selection of the TX output power levels Low or Normal. Power levels for
selection Low and Normal are configurable.
Carrier Offset TX carrier offset. Configuration parameter “5-carrier offset” must be

enabled in order to provide −8 kHz / −4 kHz / +4 kHz / +8 kHz offsets.
For further details on the TX offset activation see chapter 3.4.7.2.1
Explanation of Offset Activation.
Preset Page Number Number of the selected preset page. Zero is displayed in case of an
individual frequency setting, channel spacing, modulation mode, and offset.
3.17 6174.7389.02.01
TX Audio Level E1 This parameter refers to the E1 modulation input (connector X14). With the
default setting, the modulation sensitivity is 0 dBm0 which means that at
the E1 audio level of 0 dBm0 the AM transmitter is driven and modulated at
90 % modulation. The input can be configured from −30 dBm0 to 0 dBm0
in accordance with the E1 infrastructure and the incoming signal levels.
The sensitivity is greatest at −30 dBm0 which means that the full
modulation of 90 % modulation is achieved even at a low level.
Note: The achieved modulation depth depends on the “TX AM Modulation
Depth” parameter. The relationship described above is valid for TX AM
Modulation Depth configured to 90 % (by default).
TX Audio Level VoIP This parameter refers to the VoIP modulation input. With the default
setting, the modulation sensitivity is 0 dBm0 which means that at the VoIP
audio level of 0 dBm0 the AM transmitter is driven and modulated at 90 %
modulation. The input can be configured from −30 dBm0 to 0 dBm0 in
accordance with the VoIP infrastructure and the incoming signal levels.
The sensitivity is greatest at −30 dBm0 which means that the full
modulation of 90 % modulation is achieved even at a low level.
Note: The achieved modulation depth depends on the “TX AM Modulation
Depth” parameter. The relationship described above is valid for TX AM
Modulation Depth configured to 90% (by default).
Note: The default setting ensures the compliance with the ED-137
requirement of 30 % AM modulation depth at −10 dBm0 audio level. If the
VoIP infrastructure complies with the ED-137, the default value shall be left
unchanged.
TX Audio ALC E1 The automatic level control for the E1 audio modulation can be switched on
and off. When this function is activated, the set AM modulation depth (see
TX AM Modulation Depth parameter) is ensured over a dynamic range of
±15 dB at the TX E1 audio interface (X14).
Note: If the automatic level control is active in the system external to the
TX Audio ALC VoIP The automatic level control for the VoIP audio modulation can be switched
on and off. When this function is activated, the set AM modulation depth
(see TX AM Modulation Depth parameter) is ensured over a dynamic
range of ±15 dB at the TX VoIP audio interface.
Note: If an automatic level control is active in the system external to the
IPv6 Enabled This parameter is used to enable IPv6 IP-version. The radio can use either
IPv4 or IPv6 for LAN communication. Simultaneous operation of IPv4 and
IPv6 is not possible. If this parameter is set to “Enabled”, IPv6 will be used
and IPv4 will be automatically disabled.
Note: DHCP will be automatically disabled if IPv6 is enabled by the user.
Note: Both IP configuration and Access Control List of the TX module must
be configured according to the selected IP-version.
DHCP Enabled This parameter is used to enable dynamic host configuration (DHCP). If
enabled, the radio uses DHCP and can learn an IP address from a DHCP
server installed in the network.
Note: DHCP is supported in IPv4 network only. It is not possible to enable
DHCP while IPv6 is being used.
6174.7389.02.01 3.18
TX Hostname TX Hostname is assigned to the TX module. Characters and other naming

conventions must comply with the RFC 952 rules. The parameter is
included in the initial DHCP message sent from the radio to the DHCP
server. If the DHCP server is configured accordingly, this information can
be used to inform a DNS server about a potential change in the mapping of
the IP address to hostname.
NTP Server If this parameter is set to a valid IP address or a fully qualified domain
name (FQDN) of an NTP server, the radio starts to periodically synchronize
time with the NTP server.
Note that dynamic delay compensation in multi-carrier offset operation (see
ED137B-1) may require the use of the NTP. For such applications, it may
take some time until NTP time synchronization is sufficiently accurate.
Recording Enabled This parameter enables or disables digital voice recording according to
ED137B Volume 4 "Recording".
If enabled on the RX module, the radio records a single audio stream
received from the antenna (related to a single radio channel). If enabled on
the TX module, the radio records a single audio stream sent to the antenna
(related to a single radio channel).
Digital voice recording requires both an ED137B-compatible digital voice
recorder and a valid option key "Voice Recorder" installed on the radio.
Note: Digital voice recording is only possible when the radio is set to VoIP
mode.
Recorder Addresses This parameter needs to be configured with the RTSP URLs of the voice
recorders.
Both RX and TX modules allow 2 concurrent voice recordings to 2 different
recorders.
Recording Codec This parameter selects the audio codec (A-law or u-law) that is used for
ED137B-4 voice recording.
Max. Number of VoIP This parameter configures the maximum number of concurrent VoIP
sessions sessions (SIP/RTP) that are accepted by the radio. By default, the radio is
able to operate with 2 concurrent VoIP sessions. Up to 7 concurrent VoIP
sessions can be configured with this parameter if the respective option key
for "7 VoIP Sessions" is installed.
Local Mode Warning The radio can be configured in such a way that pressing the LOC button on
the radio generates the CBIT warnings 0336, which is output via the
remote system connected.
USB Connect Warning The radio can be configured in such a way that a USB access via a service
PC generates the CBIT warnings 0335, which is output via the remote

Operation − Menu name
Activation On On: Radio is active (possible only in local mode)
Auto: Activation via input *OFF,
see chapter 6.2.5
(only possible in remote mode)
Off: Radio is inactive (supported in
local and remote mode)
Note: If VoIP mode is used and the activation state is
changed to “Off”, all SIP sessions will be terminated.
When the user changes to local mode, "Auto" is
changed to "On", which activates the radio in local
mode.
Preset No -- In this example, no Preset No. was selected or a
parameter (frequency, spacing, TX offset) was
changed manually. In both cases, "--" will appear.
In preset mode the number of the currently selected
preset page is displayed in the range from 1 to 200.
Mode AM AM/ACARS/VDL Mode 2 modes
Note: In VDL Mode 2 the frequency range is limited
from 118 to 136.975 MHz.
Frequency 123.815 Frequency value in ICAO format. In this example, the
radio operates in 8.33 kHz spacing on frequency of
123.816666 MHz.
ICAO numeric entry:
112 to 155.991 MHz in 8.33 kHz spacing
112 to 155.975 MHz in 25 kHz spacing
Note: For ICAO channelling and frequency pairing
see Fig. 3.24.

3.4.7.2.1 Explanation of Offset Activation
The radio offers a number of different offsets that can be activated. As the
handling of unsupported offsets is different from the handling of any other
unsupported parameter, an explanation is given here to avoid
misunderstandings. Normally unsupported parameters or commands are
rejected by the radio with an error message.
Whether an offset is supported depends on a combination of other
parameters, such as spacing or mode. Please refer to the ICD for a detailed
table with all permitted combinations of modes, offsets and spacings that
can be set to the hardware.
Note: The radio behavior is specified as follows: offsets that are not
permitted in a certain spacing will be accepted and stored by the radio, but
not activated in the hardware. Only when a spacing which supports this
stored offset is activated, the offset will be activated in the hardware. The
consequence of storing the offset is that it can be read out over all
interfaces and it is displayed on the MMI, even if it is not activated in the
hardware because this combination of offset and spacing is not permitted.

Main-Standby Operation\Main-standby operation "Radio".doc
This chapter This chapter provides information about the cabling and configuration of the
radio pair for the main/standby operation.
3.6.1 Introduction/Overview
Introduction Two radios can be connected together in a main/standby configuration. The

main radio is used for radiocommunication. The standby radio takes over if
a failure or critical error occurs on the main radio.
All CBIT events with the level E (Error) switch the main radio to the standby
mode and the standby radio to the main mode. CBIT events can be
configured as an error (E) or a warning (W) (see chapter 3.3 Configuring
with the R&S ZS 4200).
Note: If the radio is set to the VoIP mode, the automatic main/standby
operation cannot be used.
3.6.1.1 Behavior of the Main/Standby Configuration with Power On
Description Both radios have to be powered up. If there is no failure, the radios are
booting and will get into the following state: The radio configured as "Main"
has to indicate the "GO" and "VOP" LEDs and to show the status "ACT" on
the display, the radio CBIT status is "OK" (see Fig. 3.63). The second radio
configured as "Standby" has to indicate the "GO" LED while the "VOP" LED
remains dark. In addition, the display shows the status "INACT". The figures
below show the radios displays after booting (see Fig. 3.64).
The inactive standby radio becomes active after switching to local mode, as
long as the radio is in the activation state “AUTO”. The main active radio
becomes inactive. After leaving the local mode both radios will keep their
state.

3.65 6174.7389.02.01
3.6.1.2 Behavior at Remote Control
Description When the command "MS_GO" has been sent via remote control, the radio
switches to ACTIVE state irrespective of the previous state. Referring to the
settings mentioned above, the radio which got this command becomes
active and the partner device (cross-connected via X5) becomes inactive.
The "MS_GO" command is ignored by the radio if at least one of its
modules is set to OFF state. A radio can be set to OFF or to AUTO state
using the "MS_AC" command. When the command "MS_AC" with the
“OFF” parameter was sent via remote control, the radio switches to
INACTIVE state irrespective of the previous state. The partner device
(cross-connected via X5) gets ACTIVE if it is in AUTO state.
There are different ways to switch between the radio states. Using the
remote control mode, it is possible to send the "MS_GO" or "MS_AC"
command to toggle the radio state. In the local mode, it is possible to
change the activation state of the radio. After leaving the local mode, the
radio will keep this state.
3.6.1.3 Behavior in Case of Device Errors
Description If an error or NOGO warning occurs on the "Main" radio, the "Standby"
radio, will be activated via the TEST_OC line. The "Standby" device will
become active and switches the "Main" radio inactive using the cross-
connected *OFF line.
If an error disappears on the inactive "Main" radio, the "Standby" radio will
stay active. In case there will be an error on the active "Standby" device, a
switch-over to the "Main" radio will be done if no error is active on this radio.

6174.7389.02.01 3.68
3.6.4 Limitations/Notes
Please note that there are certain limitations for the main/standby operation:
 Main and Standby radio configuration with NoGo state on radios wired
as 1:1 M/S pair must be avoided
In case of the NoGo state on both radios, both TEST_OC lines

become open (both radios are reporting a request for M/S switchover).
This state brings the radios to ACTIVE state when they can receive
and transmit simultaneously. This can be dangerous especially for
transmitters.
Example of an incorrect radio configuration:
– HW Configuration: Main and Standby radios are supplied from the

same mains. Both radios are connected to a DC backup battery
– CBIT Configuration: AC-Main Supervision is configured as "NoGo"
on both Main and Stadby radios. If the AC main fails, the radios will
request the M/S switchover and switch to the unwanted ACTIVE state
Note: If one radio is in local mode while the other one is in remote mode,
then the locally operated radio is active and the second one is inactive. This
setting remains even when the local mode is left. The main/standby switch-
over capability of the radio pair is now available.
Note: The “Inacitive Warning” parameter should be set to “Disable” to avoid
the inactive "Standby" radio shows the CBIT event “INACTIVE WARNING”.
Note: Set the “Line Interface in Local Mode” parameter to “Disabled”.
Note: Make sure that all operational parameters are equal on both radios
(with exception of IP address).

3.8 In-Band Signaling

In-Band Signaling\In-Band Signaling "Radio".doc
This chapter This chapter provides information about the functioning, configuration and
conditions of the radio for the in-band signaling.
Introduction To reduce the number of lines, in particular for transmitting signals over
long distances, the use of the bidirectional in-band technique via a 2-pair
AF/telephone line per radio unit (receiver, transmitter or transceiver) is
recommended.
The R&S Series 4200 radios support the following in-band functions:
 Signaling of PTT on transmitter side
Signaling of PTT PTT can be keyed by a tone with a specified frequency that is present within
AF signal. If the parameter is ON, the in-band tone is detected and controls
the PTT function. The tone itself is suppressed within transmitted signal by a
notch filter. The PTT can be signaled via the TX audio channel with the
tones of 2040 Hz, 2300 Hz, 2970 Hz or 3100 Hz.
3.8.2 Configuration
General To setup the in-band signaling functionality, it is necessary to configure

various parameters with the Service and Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200
via the USB (see also chapter 3.3 Configuring with the R&S ZS 4200).

Audio Data via E1 Interface\Audio Data via E1 Interface "Radio".doc
This chapter This chapter provides information about the cabling, configuration and
conditions for using the E1 interface.
Introduction The radio is equipped with an E1 interface for the digital transmission of
audio signals.
Description of the The E1 interface is implemented according to ITU standards G.703, G.704,
E1 interface G.711 and G.732. The frame structure is CAS multiframe. The PCM coded
audio signal (A-law) is transmitted in timeslot TS1 and the signaling is
transmitted in timeslot TS16. The channel associated signaling (CAS) used
in TS16 is specified below.
Signaling code The signaling is coded in bits A, B, C, D as follows (first bit = A):
CAS coding for direction to transmitter (TX)
PTT active: 1010

PTT inactive: all other states
CAS coding for direction from transmitter (TX)

Device status OK: 0101
Device status NOGO: 1111
Reserved: all other states
Note: Once the SQ criteria are met, the signal strength is evaluated. An
appropriate CAS code is selected and kept unchanged for the whole period
(until the SQ release).
Error handling If NOGO errors occur in the radio, an alarm indication signal (AIS) is sent
via the E1 interface. If a CAS-coded PTT signal is received during this time,
it is ignored.
The „Alarm for Inactive Warning“ parameter can be used to enable or
disable the sending of AIS also when the radio goes to inactive mode
(stand-by). This allows implementing an automatic switchover to another
radio if the multiplexer used on site supports such function.
The PTT function will be disabled if one of the following states of the E1
interface are detected:
 LOS (Loss of Signal)
 LFA (Loss of Frame Alignment)
 Loss of multiframe
 Loss of synchronization
 External D-bit set (remote alarm indication (RAI))
 Other conditions that can lead to misinterpretation of CAS information
For remote control it is required to have additional LAN connection to the
remote control system (see chapter 3.5 Remote Control (Remote Mode)).

3.11.1 External Power Amplifier R&S VU220L
This chapter This chapter provides information on how to operate the radio together with
the R&S VU220L VHF external power amplifier.
Introduction The radio supports the use of an external power amplifier.

The R&S VU220L VHF external power amplifier is set to a fixed gain of
10 dB. This means that with input power of 10 W signals will be transmitted
at output power of 100 W.
The amplifier is operated (switched on/off) via the PTT signal which controls
the TX/RX relay of the amplifier. When the PTT is active, the signal from the
transmitter is passed through the TX/RX relay of the amplifier to the
amplifier's RF input. The amplified signal is passed to the antenna.
In case of any error an alarm signal is generated by the amplifier at the Test
pin (X200.4). The alarm signal can be connected to the radio's USER_IN
input, X7.15. The CBIT event 0342 "User Contact Warning" can be
configured to indicate the alarm.

3.11.2 External Power Amplifier Jotron PAV-100/200
This chapter This chapter provides information on how to operate the radio together with
the Jotron VHF external power amplifier.
Introduction The radio supports the use of an external power amplifier.

The Jotron VHF external power amplifier is set to a fixed gain of 6 dB. This
means that with input power of 25 W signals will be transmitted at output
power of 100 W. With an input of maximum 50 W, the RF signal is
transmitted with 200 W.
The amplifier is operated (switched on/off) via the PTT signal which controls
the TX/RX relay of the amplifier. In standby operation the signal from the
antenna is passed through the amplifier to the amplifier's RF input. Thus,
the signal from the antenna is available at the receiver. When the PTT is
active, the signal from the transmitter is passed through the TX/RX relay of
the amplifier to the amplifier's RF input. The amplified signal is passed to
the antenna.
In case of high antenna mismatch SWR ALARM signal is generated by the
amplifier at the Remote Facility Connector, pin 9 and 10. The alarm signal
shall be connected to the radio's USER_IN input, X7.15. When the
USER_IN input is grounded, the radio switches RF Power to “Low”. CBITs
0349 “EXT PA ALARM” and 0350 “PWR REDUCED TO LOW” are
generated.

VoIP Mode\VoIP Mode "Radio".doc
This chapter This chapter provides information about the VoIP mode. The R&S S4200
radio offers the possibility of digital audio transmission via voice over
internet protocol (VoIP). VoIP is a protocol driven communication standard.
VoIP is implemented according to EUROCAE ED-137B. The following VoIP
options are supported by the S4200 radio.
Option Key "VoIP" This option key provides the mandatory features of ED137B Volume 1
"Radio", i.e. transmission of audio data between a VCS and the radio via
the VoIP protocol. It includes sophisticated extensions such as linked
sessions or dynamic delay compensation (relative and absolute delaying of
packets in Climax scenarios).
Option Key "7 VoIP With a valid option key installed, the radio will accept up to 7 simultaneous
Sessions" SIP sessions.
Option Key "Voice This option key activates support for digital voice recording according to
Recorder" "ED137B - Volume 4 Recorder". Up to two independent recorders can be
served simultaneously if the radio is in the VoIP mode. The radio controls
the recorder via the real-time streaming protocol (RTSP). Recording
payload is sent via the "RTP over independent TCP" approach, see
ED137B-4. The status of recording can be controlled (remotely) via the
command "Recording Active" or via the event list. The codec to be used for
voice recording can be configured to either A- or u-law via the parameter
"Recording Codec" irrespective of the codec used in the VoIP sessions.
Introduction This chapter explains basic mechanisms of VoIP communication. VoIP for
Air Traffic Management (ATM) represents an IP communication standard
which is adapted for ATM requirements.
Note: VoIP is used for communication between a voice communication
system (VCS) or the R&S GB4000V over an IP network.
VoIP for ATM VoIP standard uses the following protocols:
 SIP (Session Initiation Protocol)
Application layer protocol for establishing, modifying and terminating
multimedia sessions based on RFC 3261.
 SDP (Session Description Protocol)
Application layer protocol used for defining and negotiation of session
parameters which are used for a two-way RTP communication based on
RFC 4566.
 RTP (Real-Time Transport Protocol)
Application layer protocol used for transporting audio data via network
based on RFC 3550.
 R2S Protocol (R2 Signaling Protocol)
Protocol which offers a mechanism for “Keep Alive” signalling to control the
connection between the VCS or the R&S GB4000V and the radio.

3.13.6 VoIP Connections
Introduction This chapter gives an overview about the network-based communication

between VCS or the R&S GB4000V and the radio.
In transceivers each module (RX/TX) manages separated VoIP
connections. Each connection consists of two parts:
 Session related connections (SIP/SDP)
 Audio stream related connections (RTP/R2S)
The figure below shows that a VoIP connection to the radio always consists
of both a SIP/SDP and an RTP/R2S connection. VoIP connections need to
be established for each module. Therefore, a transceiver in VoIP operation
mode will always have at least one connection to the RX and one
connection to the TX module. Note that each module can have a maximum
of two concurrent SIP/RTP sessions.
Fig. 3.83 VoIP Connections.
3.91 6174.7389.02.01
3.13.7 VoIP Connection Establishment
Introduction This chapter explains the way from session initiation to audio transmission
via VoIP. The explanation of the connection establishment is independent
from the radio modules.
VoIP is a session-based communication standard. This means that audio
data transmission requires a mechanism to synchronize the two endpoints
(RX/TX and VCS/R&S GB4000V) also called user agents (UA). This
synchronization of endpoint capabilities is done by SIP (see chapter 3.13.1)
and SDP (see chapter 3.13.1). In this case SIP is used to initiate a session
and SDP is used for negotiating the endpoint capabilities.
The connection establishment between two user agents contains two

phases:
 Session initiation (see chapter 3.13.6)
 Audio communication (see chapter 3.13.6)
Session Initiation During session initiation the user agent one (VCS or R&S GB4000V) tries to
connect to the user agent two (R&S S4200) by using the session initiation
protocol (SIP). The identification between the two user agents is done by
unified resource identifier (URI). The user agent two (R&S S4200) checks
its Emergency and Normal VoIP ACLs whether the requesting user agent is
allowed to connect. The VoIP ACL contains the URIs being allowed to
connect.
Note: The VoIP ACL can be used as a whitelist. This allows all user agents
to connect to the radio (no URI restriction).
Note: If the parameter “Second IP Address Enabled” is set to TRUE, SIP
sessions have to be established via the primary IP address.
By using the session description protocol (SDP) both user agents negotiate
their capabilities (e.g. used codec etc.). If the whole negotiating process
succeeds, the session between both user agents is established. This
establishment is the basis for the audio communication. This means that
without an established SIP session no audio data can be transferred.
Note: The SIP session keeps existing until one of the user agents
terminates the session or the network connection fails.
Audio After successful establishment of a SIP session the result of the negotiating
Communication process between both user agents will be used to configure the RTP-based
audio transmission (e.g. codec to use, ports to use etc.).
Note: The real time transport protocol uses even ports higher than 5004.
If one user agent terminates the SIP session, the corresponding RTP
connection will also be terminated.

Introduction This chapter is an overview of AM Voice Functionality which influences the

VoIP communication.
TX Inhibit The TX Inhibit functionality is signalled back via the VoIP.
True Sidetone Muting of the receiver due to True Sidetone is not indicated via the VoIP.
3.13.9 Parallel Operation of the Analog and VoIP Audio Interfaces
Introduction Analog interface functionality remains unchanged when VoIP audio

interface is selected (see chapter 3.3).
TX Audio Basic Radio functionality related to TX Audio Basic interface X5 remains
interface X5 unchanged when VoIP audio interface is selected. Transmitter can be
keyed via VoIP interface or using rear PTT input (connector X5.8/X5.9).
In-band PTT can be configured on X5 interface as well (see chapter 3.8
In-band Signaling).
Note: Analog transmitting via X5 and via VoIP cannot work simultaneously.
Only one PTT and audio source is accepted at a time.
Note: Analog Audio Basic Interface is always considered by the transmitter
as PTT-TYPE “Normal”. Analog audio transmission can be interrupted when
PTT-TYPE “Coupling”, “Priority”, or “Emergency” is coming over VoIP
interface. The PTT coming from the TX Audio Basic interface X5 towards
the VCS is indicated via the RTP Keep Alive with PTT-ID set to 63.

Partition The radio is equipped with two different partitions; each of them can be
management updated with a certain software version. The software versions in a partition
1 may be different from the version in a partition 2.
The radio may be booted from each partition. The partition to be booted can
be selected with the LAN command “RU_SI” or by using the
Service and Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200. For more details, see the
Service and Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200 software manual and the ICD.
Note: As the R&S SU 4200 contains 2 modules (transmitter and MMI
modules), there is a partition 1 and a partition 2 in each module.
6174.7389.02.01 3.94
Software Download R&S SU 4200
USB Download If the radio is updated via USB interface, always the first partition is
updated. The Service and Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200 switches the
radio into an update mode, which interrupts the operation and disables all
interfaces.
After the software download the radio always boots from the partition 1.
Remote Download The software download on the LAN interface can be done in parallel to the
via LAN operation of the radio. The update is always done into the partition which
was not used for booting. This means that if the radio was booted from the
partition 1, the remote download will be done into the partition 2 and vice
versa.
After the download has been completed the user can choose when to
switch the radio into the updated partition. This is done by selecting the
partition which has been updated as the boot partition and then
commanding the radio to reboot. Then, the radio always reboots from the
same partition until the partition is changed manually via a remote control
command.
Recovery The radio is equipped with a recovery mechanism. In two defined situations,
mechanism the radio will automatically switch from one partition and try to boot the
other, currently an inactive partition:
1. The radio is rebooted after a software update and this reboot fail.
2. The user manually switches the partition and the succeeding reboot
fails.
Note: The normal booting time of the radio is less than 1 minute.

4.2.2 Unexpected Radio Restart
This chapter This chapter describes the process of troubleshooting and possible restart
triggers in case of an unexpected restart of the radio.
Radio restart There are two main radio restart triggers:

triggers
 External triggers (can be requested, e.g. user, remote client; or
unrequested, e.g. power line interruption)
 Internal triggers (always unrequested, e.g. WatchDog (WD), Partition
Management)
Note: The radio continuously checks if all modules of the radio are still alive
("watchdog"). If the radio detects that a certain module does not respond, it
tries to automatically reset the component/module. In most cases, this will
bring the radio back to normal operation.
In order to recognize the exact trigger of the radio restart, it is necessary to
analyze Event logs of the TX module of the radio.
Every time the radio restarts (or is powered up), it stores the restart-related
events in the event logs at a certain point of booting process:
 001 RESTART – indication of radio restart

 110 MMI PART a b c – indication of MMI booted partition
 351 TX PART a b c – indication of TX booted partition (TX only)
6174.7389.02.01 4.16
The following table shows restart triggers (referenced shortly as “triggers”)

and the related events in the event log. The restart-related events described
above are not part of the table. Please note that some triggers do not create
an event in the event log. The disjunctive method can be used for detection
of such triggers.

Test procedure
 DUT is controlled via the R&S ZS 4200 (see chapter 3.3).
 The minimum warm-up time is 1 minute for the TCXO.
 Test frequency: 120 MHz (see chapter 3.4.7.2)
 Power level set: Low (see chapter 3.4.7.2)
 Mode: AM (see chapter 3.4.7.2)
 Radio is keyed ON, e.g. via function Test PTT, which delivers an
unmodulated CW signal (see chapter 3.4.7.4.1).
 Measure frequency at antenna X3 and adjust TCXO value using
the Service & Maintenance Tool R&S ZS 4200 (see chapter 3.3).
The step width (1 bit) for the adjustment is approximately 11 Hz. Adjust
it only in small steps and do not detune the TXCO to the extreme

necessary. We recommend a further adjustment interval of 3 years in order
to ensure the specified frequency accuracy.
Note: If the radio is started at low temperatures (approximately −20 °C), the
frequency of the OCXO is far from its nominal value. This causes the
generation of the CBIT message 0315 TX INT REF UNLOCK. When the
OCXO is warmed up, this message will disappear. This is a typical behavior
of radios with the OCXO installed and not an indication of a radio failure.

Fan Maintenance R&S SU 4200
5.2 Fan Maintenance

Fan Maintenance\Fan Maintenance "Radio".doc
Introduction The main fan of the radio prevents the radio from overheating in case of
high external temperature, or a high VSWR value on the transmitter. The
fan of the PSU (power supply unit) ensures that the power supply does not
overheat. Therefore, the temperature inside the radio is constantly
measured and the rotation speed of the fans is adapted accordingly and
monitored.
Inspecting Inspect the air intake on the front panel for dust build-up and clean it if
the air intake necessary. The inspection interval depends on the environmental conditions
under which the transmitter is operated.
Note: Due to the long service life of the fan, no regular maintenance is
required here besides cleaning. The speed of the fan is monitored by
means of the continuous built-in test (CBIT), and a warning is promptly
generated (see chapter 4.2).
Maintenance of the If a fan wears out, it is recommended to exchange the fan to prevent the
main and PSU fans radio from subsequent failure. An indication to replace the fan is the
occurrence of a CBIT warning message. If a “warning” occurs, the radio is
still operational, but the fan must be replaced soon.
If one of the following CBIT messages occur more than once or over a
prolonged period of time, it is recommended to replace the main fan or the
PSU fan as a preventive action.
On the transmitter:
 0103 MAIN FAN WARNING, possibly in conjunction with a temperature
warning 0317 PA TEMP WARNING or 0319 TX TEMP WARNING
 0201 PSU FAN WARNING, possibly in conjunction with a temperature
warning 0203 PSU TEMP WARNING
Replacement of the fan is described in the service manuals of the radios,
where also the order number for the spare part is listed.

R&S SU 4200 Remote Control Commands
6.3 Remote Control Commands

List of Remote Control Commands\List of Remote Control Commands "Radio".doc
The radio can be remotely controlled and monitored via its IP-interface.
Remote control is possible either via SNMP or the Rohde & Schwarz
GB2PP protocol. SNMP and GB2PP can be used in parallel, with a
maximum of 4 remote control clients, having an active connection (TCP for
GB2PP, UDP for SNMP).
With respect to SNMP, the Series 4200 radio provides a full implementation
of the Generic ATC Radio MIB according to ED137B Volume 5
"Supervision" and supports relevant MIB-II objects as specified in RFC
1213, in addition to its own Radio specific MIB.
SNMPv3 USM features (User-Based Security Model, RFC 3414), e.g. user
authentication, and fine-grained access control via VACM (View-Based
Access Control Model, RFC 3415) are available to the user if the parameter
"SNMP Enable" is active. SNMPv3 configuration tasks can be performed
based on the existing SNMP admin user (username: "InitialUser",
Password: "InitialUser") as starting point and based on USM and VACM
MIB commands.
The S4200 radio persistently stores the SNMPv3 user configuration. To
restore the empty default configuration with the initial user, it is necessary to
(temporarily) deactivate SNMP via the parameter "SNMP Enable".
Note: The MIBs are available on request.
