Introduction 1. Introduction The RFI-148 and RFI-900 are high power output paging transmitters operating in the VHF and UHF band, respectively. RFI-148: VHF band operation (138 MHz – 174 MHz) with 2.5 – 6 MHz switching bandwidth RFI-900: UHF band operation (929 MHz – 932 MHz) with 3 MHz switching bandwidth Up to 250 W (54 dBm) maximum transmit power. Software limited to 110 W (50.4 dBm) maximum transmit power for Canadian release. Compatible with: • POCSAG 512, 1200, 2400 bps (2-level FSK).
Installation 2. Installation 2.1 General Considerations There are a number of rules to observe when installing a paging transmitter. Antenna selection is vital to a good RF link. Different antennas are required depending on the application. Please contact your antenna manufacturer or STI Engineering for correct antenna selection. Antenna placement has a significant impact on RF link performance. In general, higher antenna placement results in a better communication link.
Installation Use extreme caution when installing antennas and follow all instructions provided. Because external antennas are subject lightning strikes, STI Engineering recommends protecting all antennas against lighting strike by using lightning surge arrestors. 2.3 Product Installation The back panel of the AC model paging transmitter is shown below in Figure 1.

Configuration 3. Configuration 3.1 Overview There are six interfaces available for configuration and diagnostic information to be monitored: • Cruise Control management interface: All configuration and diagnostics parameters can be accessed using the Windows-based Cruise Control Graphical User Interface (GUI). • SNMP interface: Support for diagnostics using SNMP through the RFI SNMP Proxy agent.
Configuration 3.2.1 Installation The requirements for using the Cruise Control application are: • Pentium III+ Processor. • Windows XP (x86) or Windows 7 (x86 and x64). • At least 1 available serial port or a network connection to the device. 3.2.2 Connecting to the Paging Transmitter SERIAL To connect to a device with RS-232, attach the paging transmitter to the PC running Cruise Control via a serial port.
Configuration Figure 5: Cruise Control Sensor Gauges Plugin To view Sensor Gauges for a paging transmitter, first connect to the paging transmitter using Cruise Control. Then use the Tools -> Plugins -> Sensor Gauges menu item to open the Sensor Gauges plugin. The Sensor Gauges will automatically update, with the needles showing the current value of the gauge parameter. The green region indicates the expected normal operating value for the parameter.
Configuration 3.3 SNMP RFI SNMP Proxy is an SNMP agent which allows configuration and diagnostics via SNMP. RFI SNMP Proxy can be installed on a Windows or Debian Linux system, including embedded devices capable of running Linux. In smaller networks, RFI SNMP Proxy may be run on the same machine as an SNMP network monitoring application. SNMP communication may be done via IP loopback as shown in Figure 6.
Configuration Figure 7: RFI SNMP Proxy running on embedded hardware on remote sites 3.4 Terminal Menu Interface The terminal menu provides access to all configuration parameters in the radio. To access the terminal menu execute the AT? command at the Hayes AT command interface. See section 3.5 on page 19 for information on executing AT commands. The terminal menu will not be started if it is open on another port, instead the BUSY response is returned.
Configuration A response is generated for each AT command issued. Responses to AT commands are shown in Table 3. Response Code Response Number OK 0 Returned whenever a command is entered that is executed correctly. ERROR 4 Returned whenever a command is invalid or could not be executed. BUSY 7 Returned when an attempt is made to enable the menu via AT? but the menu system is already enabled on the other serial port. Description Table 3: AT command response codes 3.5.

The panel is illustrated in Figure 12 and the function of each LED is described in Table 4.
Configuration TRANSMIT ON FAULT LOW POWER HIGH VSWR SERIAL/ETHERNET POWER 25 125 250 TX POWER (W) Figure 12: Front Panel Display 3.7 LIU Interface The LIU interface is a DC-37 female connector at the rear of the paging transmitter. The pin-out for the LIU Interface can be found in Appendix A.4. The LIU interface has ten digital inputs1 and fourteen alarm outputs. The alarm outputs are numbered 1 to 13 with an additional combined alarm and are configurable.
Configuration 3.7.1 Hot Standby For those RFI-148/RFI-900 that support it (refer to the product order codes in Appendix F), some LIU pins are re-purposed, as shown in Table 5. The ‘lost’ alarms 11, 12 and 13 are made available when Hot Standby mode is disabled. Refer also to 7.5.
Operation 4. Operation 4.1 Serial Port Operation Serial Ports -> [Rear|Front] Settings 4.1.1 Overview The RFI-148/900250 has two RS-232 serial ports, providing support as shown in Table 1. The serial port pinouts can be found in Appendix A.3 on page 59. Serial Ports Connector Type Female DE9 (DCE) Front Supported TX, RX, GND. RFI-148 RFI-900 Male DE9 (DTE) Female DE9 (DCE) Connector Type Rear Supported TX, RX, and GND, RTS and DTR outputs CTS and DCD inputs Table 7: Serial port availability. 4.
Operation These statistics may be useful in troubleshooting. For example, Rx framing errors may indicate that the serial port configuration does not match the serial port configuration of the link partner. 4.2 Ethernet Operation LAN Interface 4.2.1 Overview The paging transmitter has one 10BASE-T/100BASE-TX Ethernet port. Auto-negotiation of link speed is supported, including duplex mode. There is also a software override for forcing the parameters of the link. 4.2.
Operation The channel frequencies can be set anywhere within the radio switching bandwidth, but their difference from the lower limit of the switching bandwidth must be an integer multiple of the raster frequency. The channel to be used can be set by adjusting the current channel setting. A channel width option of 6.25kHz is available, in addition to the regular 12.
Operation • Software PTT: Software PTT is available using Hayes AT commands, through the Cruise Control GUI, or through the terminal menu interface. It is also selected implicitly when enabling TNPP or PET/TAP on either a serial or Ethernet stream. • Hardware PTT: Hardware PTT is available through the LIU connector. Hardware PTT can be configured to be active high or active low. The delay from hardware PTT to transmitter on and data ready is 10 ms.
Operation HARDWARE PTT EDGE OR LEVEL DETECTION The transmitter keys up due to the rising or falling edge of the hardware PTT signal – it is based on edge detection rather than sampling. However, there are three exceptions to this case where the hardware PTT signal is sampled to check for key up: • When the unit powers up. • When the hardware PTT configuration is changed from Disabled to Enabled. • When the unit comes out of PTT Override. 4.3.
Operation The external reference frequency must be configured correctly in order to lock to the external reference (Radio -> Reference -> Ext. Ref. Frequency). By default, the external reference is configured to 10 MHz but 5 MHz is also supported. 4.3.5 Absolute Delay Adjustment Radio -> Absolute Delay Adjustment The paging transmitter can insert a small artificial delay on data presented on the LIU interface before it is passed to the digital synthesiser.
Operation 4.4.1 Modulation Formats Paging Protocols -> Profiles-> Paging Protocol The RFI-148/900250 supports following modulation formats: the • POCSAG: Baud rates of 512, 1200 and 2400 bps (2-level FSK) are supported. • FLEX-2: Baud rates of 1600 and 3200 (2-level FSK) are supported. • FLEX-4: Baud rates of 3200 and 6400 bps (4-level FSK) are supported. • Custom: A customizable deviation and FSK level at baud rates up to 6400 bps. See section 4.4.6.
Operation Standard 2-level Flex™ requires that FLEX-2 is selected with Data Invert -> Inverted. Use of the H- or L- bit is configurable via Encoder Interface → 2-Level Data. The configurability of the 2level data pin was introduced in firmware 4.5; versions prior to this operate with L-bit as the 2-level data pin. Encoder Interface -> 4-Level Operation 4.4.4 4-Level Deviation Mapping When using 4-level FSK i.e.
Operation 3. 2-level FLEX™ is enabled by pulling the H-bit to Gnd otherwise 4-level FLEX™ is enable. FLEX™ OPERATION FOR LEGACY SYSTEMS For legacy systems which have firmware older than 4.0, the MSB and the LSB need to be swapped and the configuration is as follows: 1. The LIU connector is wired with the H-bit as the MSB and the L-bit as the LSB. 2. The FLEX-4 protocol is selected by Profiles -> Paging Protocol -> FLEX-4 with Data Invert -> Normal. 3.
Diagnostics 5. Diagnostics 5.1 Status Monitoring Sensors -> Sensor Configuration The paging transmitter has a number of sensors which are continuously monitored. The sensors are used to monitor: Internal voltage and current levels. Ambient and transmitter temperature. Fan operation. Transmitted and reflected power. Each sensor has configurable upper and lower cut-offs that will cause a fault when exceeded.
Diagnostics 5.1.2 Minimum and Maximum Sensor History When a sensor exceeds a previous minimum or maximum value for that sensor, the new minimum or maximum value is saved to non-volatile storage. The minimum and maximum sensor values also use the conditional cut-off checking. For example, minimum and maximum transmit power values are only recorded during transmission. The sensor history can be cleared to aid in troubleshooting. 5.
Diagnostics Each fault action operates as a fault itself; therefore when a fault action is taken, it can be seen as latched in the faults menu and logged in the fault history. Fault actions are latch-only and can only be cleared through user intervention. Any actions performed are reverted once the fault action is cleared. 5.2.2 Fleeting Faults The minimum fault duration parameter determines how long the source of a fault is active until it is reported to the fault interface.
Diagnostics Once the firmware image has been uploaded, at any later date the firmware image can be applied. APPLYING FIRMWARE IMAGE To apply an uploaded firmware image, run the “Update Firmware Now” routine. The paging transmitter will reset to apply the image and will be unresponsive for up to one minute. Note that while the paging transmitter is applying the firmware image, it will not transmit, respond to AT commands or connect with Cruise Control.
Diagnostics To create a snapshot, run the “Take Firmware Snapshot” routine. The paging transmitter will continue operating normally during the snapshot process, which takes up to one minute to complete. The progress of the snapshot is displayed in the “Snapshot Progress” field. The snapshot can be reverted to at any stage. This can be useful to revert back to a ‘known good state’ if the paging transmitter has been misconfigured or has been updated with an unwanted firmware update.
Internal Encoding 6. Internal Encoding 6.1 Overview Paging Protocols -> Encoding Mode The RFI PTX supports both internal and external page message encoding: • External Encoding: The historical and most common way of interfacing to the RFI PTX is by clocking in pre-encoded paging data using the TTL inputs on the LIU. The RFI PTX will typically interface with a Base Station Controller (BSC) that provides the encoded data.
Internal Encoding 6.3 Protocols Supported Paging Protocols -> Encoding Mode All protocols are accessible through either the rear serial port or the Ethernet port via TCP or UDP port 64250. Paging Protocols -> TNPP 6.3.1 TNPP The RFI PTX supports the ETE REQ and CAP PAGE block types. The TNPP station address is configurable. 6.3.2 PET Paging Protocols -> TAP/PET The RFI PTX supports the PG1 and PG3 page submission types.
Internal Encoding 6.3.4 Page Datagram The Page Datagram protocol is request-response. The maximum datagram length including the sync and CRC32 fields is 265 bytes. Any datagrams larger than this will be dropped without response.
Internal Encoding o 0: Numerical encoding o 1: A tone-only message – no message codewords are sent, only an address codeword. The message field should be empty o 3: Alpha numeric encoding • Cap code (4): Also known as pager ID, pager address, pager number, etc. The destination cap code for this message.
Internal Encoding
Internal Encoding Key Scheme One per Capcode One per System2 Key Selection Freedom ✓ ✗ ✓ ✗ Single user key (both devices) STIEN Decryptioncapable (e.g. RFIOAD) Keygenerator (both devices) Use key-generator with an arbitrary capcode (or other trusted source) on either device to derive single key. No key entry necessary. Not currently supported. Enter key into both devices. Please contact STIEN. Single user key Decrypting Device Keygenerator NonSTIEN Use this to derive keys for receiver.
Internal Encoding 4. In the “Key Generator” table, enter an arbitrary capcode for which a key will be generated (ATS226). After a brief (~1 sec) pause, the upper and lower halves of the cryptographically secure generated encryption key will be available in ASCII-HEX format (i.e. 32 characters for each half) for copying from the table (ATS227 and ATS228). SHARED KEY SETUP The key-sharing procedure for each is defined here; refer to Table 11 to determine which approach to adopt.
Internal Encoding 4. In the “Single Key Entry” table, enter the chosen encryption key, in ASCII HEX format, a quarter in each of the four columns, being mindful of their order. 5. Enter this same key into the paging receiver. 6.6.2 Encrypting Having completed the key-sharing procedure, messages can be encrypted as follows3: 1. Enable the encryption feature (ATS220=1). 2. Indicate preferences: a. All messages are to be encrypted (ATS221=1) b. Only messages to specified capcodes are encrypted (ATS221=0): i.
Internal Encoding These measures ensure that leaving the configuration PC unattended with a Cruise Control interface running and visible will not represent a security risk. NOTE :- Do NOT save a configuration file at any time that a key is visible, since this would preserve that key in a human-readable/plain-text (JSON) file, representing a security risk. Running “End Password Session” will put the unit into a state safe for configuration file saving.
Hot Standby Operation 7. Hot Standby Operation Encoder Interface -> Hot Standby 7.1 Overview Hot standby operation allows the transmitter to operate in sites with high uptime requirements. It features automatic fail-over to a secondary transmitter. Hot standby operation is an optional variant to the RFI-148 and RFI-900 that requires an expansion port internal to the RFI-148 or RFI-900, and an additional external control unit (“RFI-PHSB”: Paging transmitting Hot-Standby Box).
Hot Standby Operation 7.2 Compatibility and Configuration Hot Standby operation requires firmware support, specifically firmware 2.11-G and above, and an expansion port in the transmitter (nominated during purchase with the ‘H’ order code character, see Appendix F). The recommended configuration sequence is: 1. Check Hot Standby is supported by hardware (expansion board is present in transmitter): “ATM19” will return “1” - Supported a. If “ATM19” returns “ERROR”, then the firmware needs to be upgraded. b.
Hot Standby Operation 7. Check the current Hot Standby state: “ATM14”: a. “0”: Hot standby is not configured b. “1”: The unit is currently Active c. “2”: The unit is currently in Standby d. “3”: The RFI-PHSB was not detected at start-up. Check the RFI-PHSB connection. 7.3 Operation The Primary RFI-148 250 has control of the RF switch position. The default switch position, when no Primary unit exists or the RFI-PHSB is unpowered, is for the Secondary unit.
Hot Standby Operation 7.
Analogue Paging 8. Analogue Paging Paging Protocols -> Analogue RFI-148 units offering Analogue Paging support allow a tone or audio signal (from e.g. a microphone) to be injected into the PTX via the LIU. Once configured and calibrated, the PTX will frequency modulate the carrier according to changes in the audio amplitude. Dedicated, configurable Deviation (“ATM28”) and Carrier Offset (“ATM27”) values are provided for Analogue Paging, as distinct from their existing digital paging counterparts.
Analogue Paging 8.2.2 Pre-emphasis Filter To minimise low frequency noise and distortion, a pre-emphasis filter can be engaged into the audio path (“ATM32=1”). It is expected that a matching de-emphasis filter would be used in the receiving equipment, accordingly, to restore the original audio. Disabling pre-emphasis results in a flat response across the supported frequency band. Refer to Table 16 for filter specifications. 8.2.
Analogue Paging is about to start. As calibration progresses, each green LED will light up again, in turn, until calibration completes5. On completion, the LED array reports success/failure, holding the result for three seconds: • Success – the green LED progress indication is held • Failure – the two red LEDs illuminate, while a single green LED is lit, its position within the array indicating the reason, in accordance with Table 13.
Analogue Paging 8.4 Configuration The recommended configuration sequence is: 1. Ensure the PTX is equipped to support Analogue Paging: “ATM25” should return ‘1’ 2. Enable Analogue Paging capability: “ATM26=1” 3. Pull “Digital/Analogue Mode Select” (LIU Pin 13) low to enable the analogue (not digital) datapath. 4. Inject a 1kHz reference tone of amplitude corresponding to the desired deviation frequency 5. Perform the relevant initiation action7: a. Press the “Calibrate” button OR b.

Product Identification Table Product Identification Table Appendix F. Table 34 shows the Paging Transmitter product identification. The green shaded items are the available configurations. This table should be used when ordering a Paging Transmitter.
Product Identification Table For example, the product code for a 250 W Paging Transmitter supplied from -48 VDC, with an integrated isolator and released for Europe is RFI-148 250TCDE. Note that “Additional Features” are not mutually exclusive. That is, a “RFI-148 250PCDAHAUN” unit will support Hot-Standby, Analogue and Ultra-Narrow band operation.
Troubleshooting Appendix G. Troubleshooting This section outlines steps that can be taken in response to issues with the paging transmitter. G.1 Configuring Sensor Cutoffs Changing the paging transmitter transmit power should also include changing the sensor cutoffs. The factory default settings for the paging transmitter is for 20 W transmit power, including reasonable sensor cutoffs for this transmit power.
Troubleshooting Figure 20: Cruise Control Faults Overview In the case of Figure 20, the external reference fail and reference switchover faults are active. See the headings below to diagnose some common active faults. G.3 External Reference Fail The external reference fail fault goes active when the transmitter is configured to use the external reference, but it cannot be locked to.
Troubleshooting G.4 High Transmit Power A high transmit power fault could indicate a hardware issue, however it is usually due to incorrect configuration. The high transmit power fault will go active when the sensed transmit power exceeds the transmit power upper cutoff. A high transmit power fault is usually seen in tandem with high PA current and foldback faults. If the transmit power setting has been increased without changing the sensor cutoff values then this is likely the cause of the fault. See G.
Troubleshooting • Ensure the fans are working. Check for blockages of the fan intake and exhaust. G.6.2 High Reverse Power or Reverse Power Foldback A high reverse power fault indicates a hardware failure of the circulator inside the paging transmitter. Failure of the circulator can cause RF spectrum splatter, so transmit is disabled. Return the unit to STI Engineering for repair. G.6.3 Exciter Out-of-Lock An exciter out-of-lock fault indicates that the channel frequencies can no longer be generated.
Troubleshooting • DISABLED: External Reference: Transmitting is disabled because Radio → Reference → Reference Mode is set to “External Only” but the external reference cannot be locked to. Either change the reference mode to allow use of the internal reference or restore the external reference source to within specification. In either case, the PTT override will clear itself automatically. G.7.
