Infrastructure Configuration for the Astro IV&D Digital Radio
In order for the ACE3600 RTU to communicate over the ASTRO IV&D infrastructure (6.4 or
later) using the XTL5000 digital radio, the infrastructure must be properly configured using the
UCM (User Configuration Manager) tool.
Note: If configuring a border router or any firewall within the CEN (Customer Enterprise
network), make sure that the ACE3600’s MDLC over IP UDP port number 2002 is enabled for
inbound and outbound messages.
Note: In the UCM Radio User Data Settings tab, be sure to set the IP address as Static, to
enable Generate ICMP and Source Address Checking, and the Ready timer set to 10 seconds.
RTU Port Configuration for the Astro IV&D Analog Trunked Radio
To enable MDLC communication using Astro XTL5000 radios, use the ACE3600 STS site
configuration utility to configure the ACE3600 RTU port (either on-board serial or plug-in
port) connected to the radio. For more information, refer to the IP Communications chapter of
the ACE3600 STS Advanced Features manual.
