Section 4 - Initial Equipment Setup Unpacking The battery pack is designed to fit only one way in the TR-240 beltpack. Be certain that the gold contacts on the battery align with the contacts on the beltpack. When inserted correctly, the battery locking mechanism will “click” and the battery will not be able to slide out. Unpack the RTS System and retrieve the Package Contents list. Verify that all contents have been received according to the Package Contents list.
CHG-240 Quick Charge Antenna Connection Charging the batteries in the CHG-240 quick charger will only require approximately 2½ hours to completely charge a dead battery. Once charging is complete, batteries may be left charging indefinitely. The BTR-24 base station is supplied with two (2) antennas for transmitting and receiving. Both antennas are 3dBi omni-directional (Model: RA-3) with reverse polarity TNC connectors. NOTE: Review the instruction booklet for the CHG-240 quickcharger prior to use.
BTR-240 Base Station The supplied omni-directional antennas have a circular antenna pattern and radiate RF signals equally in all directions. When using the omni-directional antennas, the base station should be located as close to the center of the wireless coverage area as possible. NOTE: Antennas should never be mounted on, or next to metal, such as beams, walls with metal studs, equipment racks, etc.
TR-240 Beltpack Improving Reception and Increasing Range The TR-240 beltpack contains two internal antennas which are located on the sides of the beltpack. The beltpack should be worn on the belt, or attached to a pocket, at the hip with the buttons facing up. Place the beltpack in a position that allows for greatest visibility to the BTR-240 base station antennas.
System Quick Start Guide The following is a list to quickly get the BTR-240 base station and wireless TR-240 beltpacks operating. NOTE: 1.

The settings that are restored include the following: • • • • • Mode of Operation Talk Mode Microphone Gain Sidetone Level User Configurations (described in Section 8) Login Password IP address SSID Audio Encryption Key Wireless Encryption Key MAC filtering Squelch Out of Range Alert Full-Duplex – – – – – – – – – Key Sequence: Press and hold <1> + + < 2 > while booting.
Section 7 - System Operation System Operation This section describes the different system configurations of the BTR-240 base station and the TR-240 beltpacks. 4. NOTE: For all system configurations, the TR-240 battery packs should be fully charged. Refer to the Battery Charging Instructions in Section 4. 5. Wireless Mode The most common configuration for the BTR-240 system is the wireless mode configuration, shown in Figure 7-1.
Wired Mode Wired Capacity Limit A wired mode configuration consists of only TR-240 beltpacks connected together via Ethernet cable or through a building’s existing Ethernet infrastructure. This type of configuration is shown in Figure 7-2. Up to 12 full-duplex wired beltpacks can be used in the absence of a BTR-240 base station, on a dedicated network, for reliable and uninterrupted communications. Many more half-duplex beltpacks can be used.
3. 4. 5. Connect the BTR-240 to all the wired TR-240s via Ethernet cables. • Use category 5e or better Ethernet cables that are wired to standards T-568A or T-568B (most Ethernet cables are built to these standards). • Do not use more than 100m (328ft) of Ethernet cable between devices. Up to 8 full-duplex wireless beltpacks can be used with a single BTR-240 base station for reliable and uninterrupted communications on a clear RF channel. Many more half-duplex beltpacks can be used.
Set-up Tour Group Example 1. Select one of the beltpacks to operate in master wireless mode and plug in a headset. A good example of a master wireless mode application is a tour group within a noisy manufacturing environment. 2. Turn on the master-mode TR-240 beltpack. 3. • If the beltpack has not been previously set to master wireless mode, press and hold the <1> button while the beltpack boots.
Linking Multiple Base Stations Users have several options when linking, or connecting, multiple BTR-240 base stations together. This can be accomplished by a digital connection (via Ethernet) or analog connection (via 2-wire or 4-wire). Each type of link has tradeoffs regarding capacity, latency, and audio quality. BTR-240 menu set RF Ch: 6 Assoc: 0 CHANNEL SELECT When deploying multiple 2.4GHz 802.
Separation Distance and Antenna Gain Guidelines for Deployment Optimization with Multiple BTR-240s Interference is greatly reduced as the physical separation between access points is increased. The separation distance required for multiple access points to operate without interference from each other is dependent upon the type of antennas used.
Number of Wireless TR-240 Beltpacks BTR-240s Linked via Ethernet The Ethernet link between base stations can be used to provide the fastest connection to maintain low latency between all devices. The drawback is capacity. Pros: Minimal latency Cons: Reduced capacity A complete system (BTR-240 base stations and TR-240 beltpacks) can support a maximum of 12 full-duplex devices. A maximum of 8 full-duplex devices can be wireless on a single base station. Each BTR-240 base station will occupy 1.
BTR-240s Linked via 2-Wire BTR-240s Linked via 4-Wire Linking base stations via 2-wire has several advantages. Since the 2-wire link is analog, there will be no extra overhead associated with multicast data transfer as in the Ethernet link. This means that as long as the base stations are on clear and non-overlapping RF channels, the base stations can operate completely independent and therefore much larger capacities can be achieved.
Network Requirements These network requirements apply to interconnect BTR-240 base stations and wired-mode TR-240 beltpacks. In general, the BTR-240 and the TR-240 follow the same rules as other Ethernet networked devices. These rules are: 1. All BTR-240 base stations and TR-240 beltpacks must have a unique IP (internet protocol) address and cannot have the same IP address. Also, no other devices on the wired network can have the same IP addresses as the BTR-240s or TR-240s being used. 2.

User Menu Options There are several ways that a particular BTR-240 or TR-240 can be custom configured to the unique and specific requirements of a user. There are ten options that are available to both the BTR-240 and the TR-240. The TR-240 also has an additional three options that are specific to the functionality of the beltpack. 4. Enable/Disable Full-Duplex (TR-240 only) This option allows the user to change the BTR-240 or TR-240 login password. The maximum password length is 8 characters.
7. Display/Edit SSID 11. Enable/Disable MAC Filtering The Service Set Identifier (SSID) is a phrase to identify a particular wireless network. The SSID must be the same on all wireless devices to communicate. The maximum SSID length is 32 characters. The SSID is upper and lower case sensitive. Any combination of letters, numbers, punctuation, and spaces can be used. For example, “Hello world, this is my SSID!” may be used as the SSID.
frequency coordination efforts may be required to avoid interference among access points. NOTE: This feature was added in firmware version B(2.1.0) which was released in 07/2013. 14. Exit This menu option will exit the login and closes the Telnet connection to the BTR-240 or TR-240. If any changes were made, the unit must be rebooted before they take effect.
Section 9 - Maintenance and Care Li-Ion Batteries The BP-240 Li-Ion battery pack used in the TR-240 beltpacks are excellent batteries for portable, indoor/outdoor applications. They have a high energy density (energy per weight) compared to other rechargeable battery technologies (NiCd, NiMH, Alkaline, gel Cells), are low maintenance, and offer superior performance at low temperatures. 3.

Section 10 - RF Channels & Interference 802.11 RF Channels Although there are several different frequency channel settings, there is overlap between the channels. In North America, there are three non-overlapping channels available (Channels 1, 6, and 11). In Europe, China, and Japan, there are more non-overlapping channels available. Figure 10-1 displays the entire 802.11 RF channel spectrum for 2.4GHz. In North America, the BTR-240 system has the ability to operate on any RF channel between 1 and 11.
802.11 “Non-Overlapping” Channels CSMA-CA Each of the RF channels in the 2.4GHz spectrum has a “22MHz bandwidth” which allows channels 1, 6 and 11 to exist with no overlap. The reason devices can communicate without collisions in the environment is a mechanism in the 802.11 protocol called Carrier Sense Multiple Access-Collision Avoidance (CSMA-CA). Before a device transmits an 802.
802.11 Wireless / RF Interference 3. The BTR-240 system offers many benefits by operating in the 2.4GHz ISM frequency band. The main reason is that it allows users to operate without a license requirement in most countries. The 802.11 protocol also has world-wide acceptance which permits users to travel with their system to locations where 802.11 devices are allowed. Along with the many benefits of the 802.11 technology, there are some constraints. Because the 802.
Wired / Network Interference The BTR-240 system allows both wireless and wired users to operate at the same time. Similar to wireless interference, wired users may experience performance degradation if operating over an existing Ethernet infrastructure that has a lot of traffic. How to Avoid Network Interference? When connected to an existing Ethernet infrastructure, it will be difficult to control the network interference because many users may be connected.
Section 11 - Hardware Specifications 2-Wire The 2-wire intercom uses a standard 3-pin XLR for connectivity. The 2-wire specifications and wiring diagrams will vary depending on which type of intercom is connected (RTS, AudioCom (Telex), or Clear-Com). It is important to ensure that the cables are wired correctly for proper system operation. Refer to Figure 11-1 for the 3-pin XLR wiring diagrams and specifications for each intercom type. RTS COMMON Input Impedance: . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
Local Headset 4-Wire The local headset connector is a standard 4-pin XLR. A male XLR is used for Telex devices and a female XLR is used for RTS devices. Figures 11-2 and 11-3 show the wiring diagrams for each headset configuration. The 4-wire intercoms use a standard 6-pin modular jack (RJ-11) for connectivity. The 4-wire intercom uses two pairs of wires to support one full-duplex audio channel. One pair for sending balanced audio, and one pair for receiving balanced audio.
Auxiliary Output Program The auxiliary output jack is a 3-pin XLR. It outputs balanced audio at line level. Refer to Figure 11-6 for the wiring diagram of the auxiliary output. The Program connector is a standard 8-pin modular jack (RJ-45). This port is to be used with standard Ethernet cables of Category 5e or better. The program connector has automatic crossover detection so both straight and crossover cables can be used. Refer to Figure 11-8 for the wiring diagram of the program port.
