Available Tools

Harris Keypad or VT-100 Terminal


The Harris Keypad/Hand Held Terminal (HHT) provides for the configuration
of the radio as well as a display for alarms. The same functionality is available
using VT-100 emulation on a standard PC terminal.
You can use the Keypad or a VT-100 terminal to:
Configure and control the system
Review system status
Review system alarms
Implement password control

Netcom
The Netcom protocol carries information inside a Harris equipment network.
Its capacity (or bandwidth) allocated in the overhead of the radio is 512 kbit/s
(depending on the capacity of the radio).
This protocol encapsulates all the functions such as SCAN (System Control and
Alarm Network), Network Management, and O/W. The payload or bandwidth
is dynamically allocated to any of these services; this means that if the O/W is
not used this capacity is then allocated to Netcom to assign to the remaining
services such as NMS or SCAN. This will increase the speed of the Network
Management System and SCAN.
Netcom is carried in the auxiliary channel of the RF link (radio overhead). On
that link, it is encapsulated in HDLC-like frames.
The physical interface of Netcom is available on the two Ethernet (repeater) 10
Base-T ports to connect to other Harris equipment. The two connectors allow
for daisy chain and NMS connections.
The Netcom is available over HDLC links (HDLC Port) as well to connect to
MicroStar equipment and supports the following applications:
Local and remote login
SCAN
IP and ARP
Network topology

NetBoss EMTM is a scalable, cross platform Element Management System that
supports distributed network architectures. It has the flexibility to support a
wide range of network topologies and network element protocols, and provides
the ability to model your network and monitor its components in real time.
NetBoss EMTM provides a complete management solution for the Harris
TRuepoint 4000 PDH/Ethernet digital radio. SNMP management and Web
based management of the radios is provided. Complete fault and configuration
capabilities with graphical network representations to the radio component
level are supported as well.

Paperless Chart Recorder (PCR)


Paperless Chart Recorder (PCR) is a software-based diagnostic tool that
permits remote access to the historical data that is stored on the radio. The
radios computer is capable of storing selected alarms and events as well as
logging the received signal power level (RSL) of the radio for set periods of time.
PCR provides the ability to upload and view this history of alarms, events and
RSL activity using FTP protocol. More information about PCR can be found in
the PCR Instruction manual, IMN-112951-Exx.

Moving from Menu to Menu


Once a terminal is connected the operator simply uses certain keys to move
from menu to menu. The starting point is the main menu as seen in Figure 3-4
when using a VT-100 terminal or a PC emulation. If you are using the handheld keypad, only three lines will appear at a time so you will need to use the
arrow keys to scroll down. To access the sub-menus, use the arrow-key to scroll
through the menu until the desired sub-menu is aligned with the cursor. Then
press the return or enter key to display the selected menu. Repeat this
procedure on the item that you wish to view or change. To return to the
previous menu press F4 (EXIT). To return to the MAIN menu press HOME (.).

For more information on menus, please refer to Chapter 6 and Chapter 7. The
entire menu tree is listed in Chapter 6; Chapter 7 contains explanations of all
the menu items arranged in alphabetical order.

Path Notation
This manual uses a short-form notation convention to designate menu items.
To designate a particular item, the item name is given plus the names of all the
menus between the MAIN menu and the item. For example, ALARM > PATH
> RSL LOW designates the RSL LOW menu item in the ALARM branch.

Selecting menu options


Many of the menus provide a number of optional operations. For example the
CONTROL > TRANSMIT > TX MUTE item provides two options: ON
(normal) and OFF.
In the CONTROL branch these options are shown on the display. Also shown
on the display is the standard EXIT option as a soft key position on the bottom
line of the screen. To select a soft key option, press the F key that corresponds
to the option (see Figure 3-2 or Figure 3-3).
In the CONFIGURATION branch, options appear in the NEW VAL field of a
selection screen (see Figure 3-5) that appears when the corresponding
parameter is selected from the menu. The operator uses the PREV and NEXT
keys to bring the required value into the NEW VAL field, then presses EXEC to
select it as the new configuration value.

User Authorization
The TRuepoint radio has a user authorization feature that limits access to
multiple features including the control and configuration menus.
In order to restrict access to the menus in the HHT, you will need to go to
CONFIGURATION > ENABLE LOGIN and turn it ON. You will then need to
logout of the system. Once ENABLE LOGIN is turned ON, when you go to use
the HHT a new screen will appear asking for your user name and password.

TRuepoint 4000 Operators Interface

When you receive your radio, the default user name is


admin and the default password is 12345.
If you want to limit access to the control and configuration menus for a
particular user account, go to the CONFIGURATION > USER
AUTHORIZATION menu item, create or select the appropriate user, and then
select NO under CONTROL ACCESS and CONFIG ACCESS.

The NE address
The network element (NE) address is unique to each radio in the network and
corresponds to an IP address. The embedded control software uses the NE
ADDRESS item in the main menu to enter the address of the remote radio to
be operated. The NE ADDRESS item in the configuration menu is used to set
the NE ADDRESS of the local radio.The selection screen for configuring the
NE address is similar to the one shown in Figure 3-5, with the difference that
it allows the operator to enter an NE address value in the NEW VAL field before
pressing EXEC.

Configuring and Operating the Radio

Using the Web-CIT


The Web-CIT is an embedded Web based CIT providing the ability to configure,
control, and administer the system. This tool utilizes web technology to control
and monitor the radio system through a direct connect, or remotely through the
customers TCP/IP network. Radio pairs, both local and remote, are visible to
the operator from the same screen.
On the TRuepoint SPU, either of the network management ports allows you
to connect a PC to the radio in order to access the Web-CIT. The Web-CIT will
work with either Microsoft Internet Explorer 5.5 and higher or Netscape
Navigator 7.0 and higher.
The Web-CIT is powered by the GoAhead Web Server.

Security Considerations
Depending on the security measures at a given site, a customer may need to
adjust their security permissions in order to use the Web-CIT. If this is the case,
users should be aware that configuring a web browser to run the Web-CIT could
create a security breach when accessing the Internet if the security settings are
lowered. Users should reset their security levels back to the higher levels before
using the same computer to access the Internet for usage other than the
Web-CIT.

In no event shall HARRIS CORPORATION, its staff


and/or partners be liable to the user for any
special, consequential, indirect or similar
damages, including any lost profits or lost data
arising out of such a security breach. The user is
solely responsible for taking all protection
measures necessary for achieving a secure
connection before, during, and after the use of the
Web-CIT software.

Connecting to the Radio: TRuepoint Web-CIT


There are two ways to connect to the radio with TRuepoint Web-CIT.
Option 1:
1. Connect a PC to a network management port on the IDU as shown in
Figure 3-1. You will need a standard ethernet cable. In Windows XP, the
DHCP client must be active and you use Obtain an IP address
automatically.
2. Go to your internet browser and type in the IP address that corresponds to
the NE address; the default NE address of a new radio is 999 so the IP
address will be 10.9.99.1.

4. Once you have entered your user name and password, Figure 3-6 will
appear. Note that the local radio is on the left side of the main frame and
the remote radio is on the right side.
5. Go to CONFIGURATION > SYSTEM and enter a new NE address. Make
sure you click the APPLY button. Once you have done this, you will need to
reboot the Controller.
6. Once this is done and the system has rebooted, go to your internet browser
and type in the IP address that corresponds to the number you entered as
the NE address. If you entered 111 as the NE address, for example, then
your IP address should be 10.1.11.1; if you entered 232 then your IP address
should be 10.2.32.1.
Option 2:
1. Using the Harris Keypad or another VT-100 compatible terminal, enter the
NE ADDRESS in the CONFIGURATION > NETWORK MANAGEMENT
menu. The NE ADDRESS must be a number from 001 to 999.
2. Still using the Keypad or VT-100 compatible terminal, go to CONTROL >
REBOOT SYSTEM.
3. Connect a PC to a network management port on the IDU as shown in
Figure 3-1. You will need a standard ethernet cable.
4. Once this is done and the system has rebooted, go to your internet browser
and type in the IP address that corresponds to the number you entered as
the NE address. If you entered 111 as the NE address, for example, then
your IP address should be 10.1.11.1; if you entered 232 then your IP address
should be 10.2.32.1.

TPC Mode
Transmit Power Control (TPC) allows you to adjust the TX output power to the
necessary level in order to provide reliable signal reception at the remote end
of the RF link.
Go to CONFIGURATION > RADIO > TPC and select the TPC mode: Manual
Control, ATPC, or DTPC. The configuration points mentioned below can be
entered on this page as well.
HHT: CONFIGURATION > SYSTEM > OUTPUT POWER > TPC MODE.

ATPC mode allows the radio to operate at a low output power that is enough to
provide reliable signal reception at the remote end of the RF link. However,
when a fading condition occurs and the RSL at the remote end is approaching
the system threshold, the Tx output power increases to a predetermined high
output power level. When the fading condition is over and the RSL at the
remote end is far enough below the system threshold, the Tx output power
returns to the low level.
To set up ATPC, you must set the nominal power level using Tx Static
Attenuation. Then you define the Remote ATPC Low Threshold Offset (025 dB) and the Boost Step (0-15 dB). When the RSL level drops below the
system threshold plus the ATPC low threshold, the receiver will set the boost
request flag and send it to the transmitter. If allowed, the transmitter will
increase the Tx output power by the number set in the Boost Step. When the
RSL at the receiver increases above the system threshold plus the ATPC high
threshold, the receiver clears the boost request flag and sends it back to the
transmitter, which in turn returns Tx output power bock to the nominal power
level.
Figure 3-11 illustrates various parameters related to ATPC mode; the dashed
line shows that without ATPC, the RSL would go below the system threshold.

Harris Corporation

TRuepoint 4000 Operators Interface

Manual Control is the default mode, and allows you to adjust the Tx output
power to the desired level, by setting the Tx Static Attenuation. The range is
from 0-30 dB, in 0.5 dB increments.

DTPC mode allows you to specify a target remote end RSL value that provides
reliable signal reception. Tx output power is automatically adjusted to maintain
this specified target remote end RSL, by comparing the received remote RSL
with the Remote Nominal RSL value and adjusting accordingly.
The nominal power level set via Tx Static Attenuation serves as a starting
point. Tx output power can be decreased if nominal power is not needed to
maintain the Remote Nominal RSL value, but the Tx output power will never
go above the nominal power level.

line shows RSL as it would be without DTPC.

Harris point-to-point equipment is designed to work with standard protocols
over standard media and with Harris legacy products using the proprietary
SCAN and Netcom protocols. TRuepoint supports an IP network (the Web-CIT,
SNMP, FTP), a Netcom network, and a SCAN network.
You can connect a TRuepoint radio to other Harris point-to-point radios via the
Ethernet port to another Ethernet port, via the HDLC serial port to a RPTR_IN
serial port, or via the serial Port 1 to a SPUR (AUX) port.

The Netcom protocol uses an addressing scheme based upon the NE address.
Each radio in the network should have its own NE address and messages can
be sent to any node in the network by using that NE address. Each radio also
needs an IP address which can be assigned manually or automatically based on
the NE address.

TRuepoint 4000 Operators Interface

July 2005

Network Management

Each radio has an Ethernet IP interface as well that has an IP address which can
be assigned manually, automatically based on the Netcom NE address, or
automatically using a DHCP Server.

Network Configuration

Still in CONFIGURATION > IP ROUTING > NETWORK INTERFACE, the


ETHERNET IP INTERFACE should be set to ENABLE as well. Under MODE,
select Auto, Manual, or DHCP Client.
Auto is the default and will automatically generate the Ethernet IP address and
subnet mask for each radio based on the NE address. For example, if the radios
NE address is 333, then the Ethernet IP address will be 10.3.33.1. See Figure 316.
You also can elect to use the DHCP Server in the radio in order to configure
other equipment such as a laptop or NMS. The DHCP Server will generate an IP
address that in turn will grant a lease to a laptop (or other equipment) plugged
into the Ethernet port on the radio. To use this option, select Auto for MODE,
and then ENABLE the DHCP SERVER.
If you select Manual, you will need to enter a Ethernet IP address and subnet
mask in the appropriate boxes.
If you select DHCP Client, the radio becomes a DHCP client on your preexisting network and the Ethernet IP interface will request an IP address from
a DHCP server. You will need to have a DHCP server on your network to use this
option.

If you reconfigure the IP settings (change from Auto to


DHCP Client for example), it is recommended that you
perform a software boot.

Routing
Each TRuepoint radio can be viewed as an IP router with two interfaces: Ethernet
and Netcom.

The second option is to define the network with a user-defined static routing
table on each radio. This is applicable to very small networks only since there
are 10 maximum static routes that can be defined. To use this option, go to
CONFIGURATION > IP ROUTING > STATIC ROUTING. Enter the IP
address, mask, and next IP router for each static route that you want to use.
HHT: CONFIGURATION > NETWORK MANAGEMENT > IP ROUTING >

STATIC ROUTES.

The third option involves dynamic routing. The TRuepoint radio supports the
RIP dynamic routing protocol which is a simple dynamic routing protocol that

will broadcast all of its known routes periodically to the rest of the network.
Each router receiving these updates can update their own routing tables with
this information. The RIP daemon on the TRuepoint radio is configured to
supply routes when more than one interface is enabled on the TRuepoint radio.
The routes can be selectively broadcast on either or both of the Netcom or
Ethernet interfaces. When enabled, routing updates will be sent every 30
seconds. Any received route that is not updated within 180 seconds will expire
and be removed from the routing table. The RIP daemon can be configured in
two different modes: disabled or Version 2. Version 1 is not supported. The
disabled mode disables all RIP operations. Version 2 sends and receives only
RIPv2 updates which support classless addressing and variable length subnet
masks.

Relays & External Alarms


The SPU provides four relay contacts. These relays can be programmed to
indicate an alarm status or to control local site equipment. In addition, the SPU
can be ordered with an orderwire installed.
The following relay inputs are available: MANU CTL, MAJOR ALARM,
MINOR ALARM, SIGNAL DEGRADED, CONTROL ACTIVE, SYNC LOSS,
TRIB INPUT LOSS, RSL LOW, ERR SEC ALM, BER ALM, CABLE, RFU,
SPU, ATPC HIGH POWER, TPC TIME LIMIT and OPT OW RING1.
The SPU also provides two digital inputs for local site alarm monitoring. These
alarms are reported in the Web-CIT or HHT the same way that the radio alarms
are reported.

1. If you assign OPT OW RING as an alarm relay, this alarm will appear when the phone set at the site is
ringing. Please note that this alarm does not mean a hardware failure, but indicates that the
technicians attention to the ringing phone is requested.

GLOSSARY
This chapter provides an expanded description
(as appropriate) of most of the acronyms used in the
TRuepoint 4000 user documentation.

Automatic Gain Control

ATPC

Automatic Transmit Power Control A feature of digital microwave radio


equipment that adjusts the transmitter output power based on path fading
detected at the receiver.

DHCP

Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol

DTPC

Dynamic Transmit Power Control A feature enabling the regulation of a target


receive signal level by remotely and proportionally controlling the corresponding
transmitter output power level.

FTP

File Transfer Protocol

HDLC

High-level Data Link Control A bit-oriented synchronous data link layer


protocol developed by ISO. HDLC specifies a data encapsulation method on
synchronous serial links using frame characters and checksums.

HHT

Handheld terminal A Harris user interface device (also known as a display


keypad). It allows the user to configure and monitor the radio when not using
CIT or Web-CIT.

IF

Intermediate Frequency

IP

Internet Protocol A method or protocol by which data is sent from one


computer to another on the Internet.

LAN

Local-area Network A data network located on a user's premises within a


limited geographical area. Widely used technology standards in LANs are
Ethernet, FDDI, and Token Ring.

MSUU

Microwave Software Upgrade Utility A Harris proprietary software utility for


upgrading the software and firmware of the TRuepoint radios. Uses Microsoft
Windows 2000 Service Pack 4 or later.

MUX

Multiplexer A circuitry that combines two or more information-carrying


channels for transmission over one channel, by using frequency division or time
division techniques

NMS

Network Management System such as Harris StarView.

QAM

Quadrature Amplitude Modulation A method of combining two amplitudemodulated signals into a single channel, thereby doubling the effective
bandwidth.

QPSK

Quadrature Phase Shift Keying A digital frequency modulation technique used


for sending data over coaxial cable networks.

Restricted
Area

A location qualified in accordance with IEC Standard 60950-1 as providing an


access that can only be gained by Skilled Persons or users who have been
instructed about the reasons for the restriction applied to the location and
about any precautions to be taken; and
access achieved through the use of a Tool, lock and key, or other means of
security, and is controlled by the authority responsible for the location.

RFU

Radio Frequency Unit The radio unit that is installed mainly outdoors.

RIP

Routing Information Protocol

RMS

Rack Mounting Space

RPC

Radio Processing Card

RSL

Received Signal Level

RSSI

Received Signal Strength Indicator A parameter returned from a transceiver


that gives a measure of the RF signal strength, either uplink or downlink.

RTPC

Skilled
Person

Remote Transmit Power Control A feature that allows an operator to access a


remote transmitter and insert an attenuation in the transmitted signal. This is
done through the HHT or Web-CIT. The RTPC tolerance is +/- 2 dB.
A skilled person is considered to have the necessary knowledge and practical
experience of electrical and radio engineering to appreciate the various hazards
that can arise from working on radio transceivers, and takes appropriate
precautions to ensure the safety of personnel.
This individual is considered to be a skilled person only if he/she is competent
to take responsibility for both his/her safety and for that of unskilled personnel
under his/her immediate supervision, when working on the transceiver.
Training requirements for a skilled person should not only be confined to
technical matters and, preferably, should include first-aid treatment, especially
methods of artificial resuscitation: respiration and cardiac compression (heart
massage).

SNMP

Simple Network Management Protocol Protocol used to facilitate network


management by exchanging information between equipment on a network.

SPU

Signal Processing Unit (Also referred to as IDU) The indoor rack-mounted unit
that contains plug-in modules for handling and processing the signal received
from the RFU.

TCP/IP

Transmission Control Protocol/Internet Protocol A standard that provides


connectivity across computer platforms ranging from mainframes to
Macintoshes. These computers can exchange data when connected over a
compatible network scheme, such as Ethernet or X.25. Originally developed by
the Department of Defense in the 70s, these protocols are now a de facto
industry standard.

Web-CIT

Web-Craft Interface Tool A Harris proprietary software utility for monitoring


and controlling the operation and configuration of the TRuepoint radios.
Located on the TRuepoint Controller, any of the two RPTR/NMS ports allows
for connecting a PC running the Web-CIT server that is embedded in the radio.
This web server stores HTML pages and applets that provide a user interface for
monitoring and controlling any TRuepoint Network Element, using the
Microsoft Internet Explorer, version 5.5 and later.
