2. Installation 2.1 UL Approved for Class I, Division 2 or Zone 2 The ViPR radiomodem is suitable for use in Class I, Division 2, Groups A, B, A, D or non-hazardous locations. To meet UL compliance, the ViPR unit must be installed in an enclosure and power must be supplied by a SELV (Safety Extra Low Voltage), non-energy hazardous source. This device is powered by a terminal block (+). Warning – Explosion Hazard – Do not disconnect while circuit is live unless area is know to be nonhazardous.
Figure 2 – Antenna 2.2.3 RF Path and communications range The range of the ViPR radiomodem is dependent on terrain, RF (radio frequency) path obstacles, and antenna system. To assure reliable communications, a competent professional should study the RF path to determine what antennas are required and whether or not a repeater is needed. 2.2.4 Antennas The antennas listed in Table 1, page 13 were tested and typed for maximum gain. These antennas are FCC-approved for use with the ViPR product.
Figure 4 shows a common connection scenario. The TX/RX antenna is required for basic operation. The power connection allows for a wide range of input DC power, whether the user system is a nominal 12 or 24 VDC supply system. A setup PC can be connected via the serial port, allowing for setup and configuration of the ViPR unit as well as local and remote diagnostics. It may be left connected at all times but is not required for normal operation once the unit has been configured.
2.5 Point to Point System Shown below are typical “point to point” and “point to multipoint” connections between ViPR units. The connections indicated allow for either Ethernet or serial interfaces. The Ethernet connection provides Ethernet IP connectivity for network devices. In bridge mode, all the network devices are on the same IP Subnet. In router mode, the Ethernet connection on Master unit and the remote(s) use different IP Subnets.
3. Physical Description Figure 7 - ViPR Front Panel The front panel only has connections and indicators. They are: • One standard RJ-45 auto-sensing 10/100 UTP Ethernet connection with Auto-MDIX. Supports direct connection to both Terminal Devices and Ethernet hubs or switches without resorting to crossover cables. LED indicators make it simple to verify that Ethernet cables and connections are good. • Two DE-9F RS232 ports. Serial baud rates from 300 to 115,200 are supported.
LEDS The ViPR unit has five dual-color LED indicators. Their functions are shown in Table 3.

4.8.3.4 IP addressing modes Figure 35 - Advanced IP Configuration – IP adressing modes Item Description Directed Broadcast Disabled, Enabled (Default) – Controls forwarding of Directed Broadcast packets Limited Enable Disabled (Default), Enabled – Controls forwarding of Limited broadcast packets Broadcast Multicast Disabled (Default), Enabled – Controls forwarding of Multicast packets (based on the “Multicast Address List”) Multicast can be used when “one-to-many” communication is required.
4.8.3.4.1 IP Broadcast/Multicast Overview When an IP packet needs to reach more then one unit, the destination address can be set to either a broadcast address or a multicast address. BROADCAST - There are two types of IP broadcast address: • Directed broadcast A directed broadcast address is an IP address where the host portion is all ones (for instance 172.30.1.255 is the directed broadcast address for the network 172.30.1.0/24, 172.30.1.207 is the directed broadcast address for the network 172.30.1.
Sender (owner of multicast group 226.1.2.3) 1 Internet Paths from Sender to Members (Receivers 1, 2, and 3) flow in the Internet from IP Router to IP Router to reach IP Router 2 Destinations 226.1.2.3. 2 Paths are not forwarded over interfaces that do not lead to a multicast group b IP Router 3 IP Router IP Router 5 3 4 Receiver 3 (member of 226.1.2.3) Receiver 1 (member of 226.1.2.3) Receiver (not a member of 226.1.2.3) Receiver 2 (member of 226.1.2.3) Receiver (not a member of 226.1.2.
Note: Occasionally, the unit cannot determine that the packet is actually a directed broadcast. In such a case, the packet is normally routed. LIMITED BROADCAST The “Limited Broadcast” radio buttons let the user select whether the unit must forward or not limited broadcast packets. Upon reception of a limited broadcast packet, the unit takes the following actions: • Keep a copy for itself (pass to internal applications, if any).
The following setup example would allow the “Sender” unit to communicate with different multicast groups. The settings shown in Figure 40 below, and also represented in Figure 41, would enable the Sender unit to reach all entities of the various groups. Setup is done on the Base side. Figure 40 - Multicast Window Details (On the Main ViPR unit) Multicast (Enabled/Disabled) Enables or disables the registration of the multicast groups by the main ViPR unit.

4.8.6.3 Package Control Package Control is used for verifying the integrity of the field upgrade of the ViPR radiomodem firmware. Click on Maintenance/Package Control and wait a few seconds for the results to display. Snapshot in Figure 53 shows a “PASS” result indication. If an upgrade problem arises and persists, click the “Package Control” once more and have the resulting indications handy if contacting Dataradio System engineering.
4.8.7 Radio - RF Tests To guard against an inadvertent or accidental mishap, Dataradio strongly recommends saving the parameters to the unit BEFORE running this test. Use the “Save Config” button at the bottom of the navigation menu. This test is especially useful for testing the power output with a wattmeter. Figure 54 - RF Tests Item Description Test frequency is xxx.
5. Optimization & Troubleshooting After original setup is complete, you may wish to maximize performance by first optimizing the Airlink (or RF link) and then optimizing the ViPR radio modem to function in the resulting environment.
120 40520-100a 64 ViPR User Manual
5.1 Maximizing TCP/IP If after optimizing the airlink there still appears to be an unexplained speed loss, you can look at maximizing TCP/IP. TCP/IP throughput can be tricky to measure as performance is related not only to the RF link, but how well flow control is implemented in the TCP/IP stack and how each application is designed. The ViPR has been highly optimized with this in mind.
5.3 Troubleshooting Tools 5.3.1 Network Connectivity • PING The ping command determines whether a specific IP address is accessible. It works by sending a packet to the specified address and waiting for a reply. It is useful for troubleshooting “end-to-end” reachability, network connectivity, and network latency. Available for MS-Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000, and XP as well as Unix & Free BSD. EXAMPLE: ping 192.168.204.1 displays the response with turn around time in milliseconds.
5.3.2 Configuration Information • WINIPCFG (WIN95/98), IPCONFIG (WIN2K) or IFCONFIG (UNIX) Ipconfig is a DOS utility, which can be used from MS-DOS or a MS-DOS shell to display the network settings currently assigned and given by a network. This command can be utilized to verify a network connection as well as to verify network settings. Available for MS-DOS, MS-Windows 9x, ME, NT, 2000, and XP.
5.4 Firmware Upgrading The ViPR radiomodem firmware is field-upgradable using the unit’s Ethernet port. The process involves connecting to the IP address of the mobile from a host PC and transferring the firmware files via an FTP program. 5.4.1 Procedure 1. Using a file decompression program, such as WinZIP™ or WinXP’s right-click & select the “Expand to…” option, expand the contents of the firmware upgrade package to a directory of your choice on the host PC.
5. Verify the integrity of the newly transferred files. a) Connect to the mobile’s IP address using an Internet browser such as IE (5.0 or later) or Mozilla. b) Enter the user name and password (in the usual manner) and allow the Welcome page to load. c) In the left pane, click on Unit Status. The Unit Identification and Status pane should display the newly upgraded firmware in its Banner (should correspond to the upgrade package version) and the H/W Status should also show Ok.
