15.8. RCUbasic
Summary: This component paired with the Transceiver component provides radio
modeling for the radio simulated environment.
Description: The most commonly configured radio uses two components, the
Transceiver and RCUbasic. The Radio Control Unit (RCU) basic requires a
CommPlan fill to access radio modes, waveforms, default settings, etc. If the
control inputs are set from an external source (e.g. host control) they will override
the default values in the fill. For example, RCUbasic has a loaded fill and is using
Net 1, which defaults the frequency of the radio to 101MHz. This information is
sent to the paired Transceiver that shares the same Transceiver ID as the RCUbasic.
Suppose a user wanted to use the net default, except that they wanted to use a new
frequency of 105MHz. By manually setting the Frequency of the RCUbasic to
105Mhz, it will override the net default, and the Transceiver will set its frequency
to 105MHz.
In general, settings that relate to how the radio appears on the network are in the
Transceiver, and settings which control the radio for simulation are placed in the
RCUbasic.
Control Inputs
Crypto
Key
Type Default Value
uint16 0
Description: If two radios are using encryption then they must have
matching crypto keys in order to communicate.
Frequency
Type Default Value
uint64 0
Description: The current radio tune frequency in Hz.
Control Inputs
FreqHop
HopSet-
WOD
Type Default Value
uint16 0
Description: Identifies the set of frequencies used in hopping pat-
tern. The default of 0 = match all.
FreqHop
Lock-
OutID
Type Default Value
uint16 0
Description: Identifies the set of frequencies that are excluded from
hopping pattern. The default of 0 = match all.
FreqHop
NetID
Type Default Value
uint16 0
Description: Identifies the frequency hopping Net ID. A frequency
hopping radio must have a non-zero Net ID to be considered
actively hopping.
FreqHop
SyncTOD
Type Default Value
uint32 0
Description: Identifies the frequency hopping Time of Day. The
default of 0 = match all.
FreqHop
System
Type Default Value
uint16 0
Description: This parameter is not used. ASTi recommends leaving
this set to 0.
