Operation RF-Baton! Transmitter Controller Installation and Operation
5-12 6880497G01-B June 1999
At this point in the power-on reset cycle, FIPS communication with the RF-B! transmitter
controller is available.
A complete power-on reset takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes, the majority of the time
performing GPS acquisition and lock. After the GPS receiver has acquired lock, the front panel
GPS lock LED lights and simulcast initialization completes the reset cycle.
Simulcast initialization takes approximately one minute to complete after the front panel GPS
lock LED lights. During the final simulcast initialization, the RF-B! transmitter controller
system time is synchronized to GPS time. At the completion of a power-on reset, the RF-B!
transmitter controller is ready to page.
A power-on reset clears the alarm, error, and software logs. All information contained in these
logs regarding previous operation is lost.
If the hardware dual in-line package (DIP) switch #2 ON switch SW600 is enabled during
reset, the software parameter database reinitializes to default values during software boot (see
Chapter 6, "Maintenance", paragraph, "Resetting the Parameter Database").
Hard Reset
A hard reset of the RF-B! transmitter controller occurs when the reset button on the front of the
RF-B! transmitter controller is pressed. Pressing the RF-B! transmitter controller reset button
causes the following actions to occur:
• RF-B! transmitter controller control software boot
• Network initialization
• FIPS initialization
• GPS initialization check and simulcast initialization
