TS4000 Radio Modem User’s Manual TS4000 Overview 5
Max Power = 10 watts (The actual value depends on the particular radio module
in the TS4000).
Power Supply Voltage = 20 volts
Max Power Supply Current = 10 / 20 = 0.5 amps
Standard Case
With the standard case power can be connected through either the power
connector or one of the serial port connectors. The power connector is a 2 pin
Molex Micro-Fit 3.0 (Molex P/N 43045-0202) with pin 1 as ground and pin 2 as
power. The mating plug for this connector is a Molex P/N 43025-0200. See the
Serial Port section for details on connecting power through the serial ports.
Watertight Case
With the watertight case power is connected through the sealed interface
connector.
Fuses
The TS4000 has an internal 4 amp fuse for each of the three possible power
connections (See Appendix E - PCB Component Locations). The power source
used with the TS4000 should also be fused with an in-line power fuse.
The preferred method of mounting the TS4000 is to use the mounting bracket
supplied with the modem. An alternative is to use the threaded mounting holes in
the bottom of the TS4000 (see Appendix D - Case Dimensions).
The TS4000 is supplied with a windows based PC configuration program.
Configuring the TS4000 consists of configuring the modem operating parameters
and also configuring the frequency channels. For details on how to load and start
the configuration program see Installation in the TS4000 Configuration Program
section.
Making selections with the controls on the various configuration screens sets a
configuration. Once set, configurations can be programmed into the TS4000. In
addition, configurations can be retrieved from the TS4000. Configurations can
also be stored and recalled as PC files. Details about the configuration controls
are available later in this manual and in the on line help of the configuration
program.
Teledesign provides general-purpose wireless modem test software called
AirTest. AirTest can send data and gather performance statistics, including BER
(Bit Error Rate), about the link between two modems. AirTest can be started with
the AirTest button on the main screen of the configuration program (See Testing).
The TS4000 comes with flash program memory that allows the firmware to be
easily upgraded in the field. Firmware is upgraded with the upgrade program
which is included as part of the TS4000 configuration program. The upgrade
program is started with the Upgrade Firmware button on the main screen of the
configuration program (See Upgrading Firmware).
