120 10503-201 PRELIMINARY T-96S Technical Manual1
1. PRODUCT OVERVIEW
This document provides the information re-
quired for the selection, installation, opera-
tion and maintenance of the DATARADIO T-
96H radiomodem.
1.1 Intended Audience
This document is designed for use by engi-
neering design, installation, and maintenance
personnel.
1.2 Introduction
This chapter provides the information neces-
sary to identify and assess the capabilities of
the T-96H. Connection and operation are
also described.
1.3 General Description
The T-96H is a transparent real-time radio-
modem designed primarily for SCADA and
telemetry use. The T-96H is available in dif-
ferent versions according to radio frequency.
Common features to all versions include:
Data speeds of 4800 to 19200 b/s
(9600 b/s maximum in half channels)
using standard RS-232 interface.
Built–in 8 channel synthesized radio
transceiver for VHF, UHF and
900 MHz.
Power output of 1W to 5W (software
controlled).
Half duplex or simplex operation.
Transmit switching via RTS.
On-line diagnostics monitoring
Offline local and remote diagnostics.
Compatible with DATARADIO T-Base
for base station or repeater use.
Compatible with any
DATARADIO
Interoperability Standard (DIOS)
equipment for data rate up to 9600 b/s.
1.4 Physical Description
The T-96H consists of a logic PCB (which
includes the modem circuitry) and a separate
radio module. The two boards plug directly
together and slide into the rails of an ex-
truded aluminum case. The front panel in-
cludes the DE-15 data connector and a SMA
antenna connector, as well as three LED in-
dicators. Power connections are made
through the DE-15 data connector. The unit
is not hermetically sealed and should be
mounted in a suitable enclosure where dust
and/or a corrosive atmosphere are antici-
pated. There are no external switches or ad-
justments. Operating parameters are set us-
ing software.
Channel selection may be done using an in-
ternal DIP switch, by strapping the appropri-
ate pins on the DE-15 data connector, or by
selecting the desired channel using the
T96HRSS or the OFLNDIAG.
1.5 Configuration
Operating characteristics of the T-96H are
configured by means of Radio Service Soft-
ware (T96HRSS - p/n 085 03250-xxx)
available from your sales representative.
Also available is the Offline Diagnostics
software (OFLNDIAG) and the Online Di-
agnostics Monitor (ONDMON) which give
access to offline diagnostics & commands
(local and remote) and online diagnostics
monitoring with or without a T-Base. Both
programs are MSDOS based and will run on
any 486 or higher PC (2 Megabytes memory
required).
The T-96H requires the use of the
T96HRSS for both configuration and ad-
justment.
