GENERAL DESCRIPTION
8.1 GENERAL
8.1.1 Introduction
The Remote Maintenance and Monitoring Configuration (RMMC) is used for remote monitoring, operation
and maintenance of all the connected navigation systems. The network has a radially configured architecture
based on communication between the system components via switched or private lines in the public network
and dedicated lines in private networks. Optionally a connection to a LAN (local area network) via Ethernet
line is possible.
The remote control instruments allow all the networked navigation systems to be operated optionally from
central points, from normal operation of the dual systems with automatic changeover in the event of a fault
through manual operation to measurement and setting of all the possible signal parameters, as well as
detailed fault analyses on the basis of a wide range of measured values. They facilitate new maintenance
strategies, whereby primary importance is placed on concentrating logistics and qualified personnel, and
then on responding to specific failures with systematic maintenance activities rather than relying on periodic
precautionary measures. This considerably improves both maintenance efficiency and the economic
efficiency of the systems throughout their service life.
Although these advantages only apply to the modern generation of air traffic control systems developed by
ANS (in other words to the AN 400/SYSTEM 4000 and the navigation aids used with it, namely the VOR and
DVOR, the ILS and MLS instrument landing systems, the ILS farfield monitor (FFM), the TACAN 453 and the
DME 415 radio beacons, the electronic TACAN antenna (ELTA 200) and the NDB 436) the extensive range
of interface boards makes it possible to incorporate other collocated systems in the remote control and
monitoring strategy if desired. The outstanding features of the system are as follows:
EXTREME FLEXIBILITY
The open system architecture enables a variety of standard connections to be established using dedicated
or switched lines, telephone or data networks, local area networks and serial or parallel interfaces. The
many different interface boards and software utilities which are available allow the system configuration to be
adapted to local requirements. A remote maintenance and monitoring configuration which provides a
permanent indication of the availability of all the navigation systems in the network can, for example, be set
up via the public telephone network. As an option of the P4N processor board an Ethernet connector
enables the connection of the REU to a LAN to transfer status information from the RCSE to a host PC or
workstation.
EXCEPTIONAL RELIABILITY
All data communication is implemented using reliable data protocols. The instruments are designed for the
operating conditions specified in the EUROCAE recommendations. The DIN plug-in connections ensure
excellent contact is made between the subassemblies and the bus board. There are no mechanical wearing
parts, and even disk drives for storing data have been dispensed with.

8.2.1 General
The Remote Maintenance and Monitoring Configuration (RMMC) is a flexible information processing network
for remote control, monitoring and maintenance of navigational aids systems for air traffic control. In addition
to the usual remote control functions, it enables all the possible signal parameters to be set and read, and
permits extensive remote analysis of system failures by polling and interpreting a wide range of measured
values.
NOTE: In AN 400 en-route navigation systems (e.g. VOR 431) no separate LCU device has to be used as
local communication interface. The LCU functionality is integrated in the AN 400 subrack, i.e. the
LCU software is running on the already existing LCSU/CSB board, additional modems are used for
communication purposes.
PSTN
LCSU/CSB
TAC ELTA
AZ EL DME/P
The protocols for serial data communications between the RCMS 443 and the navaids landing subsystems
(ILS/MLS) and between the NAV-LCU 443 and the en-route navaids subsystems (VOR, DVOR,
DME/TACAN) are harmonized to AN 400, MLS, ELTA and SYSTEM 4000. According to these protocols the
subsystem data is continuously polled by the link control unit with commands for the status messages. To
get specific messages for maintenance a scheduled and also specific polling is provided. The specified
frames used in the protocols are defined to obtain an optimum of information within short time intervals with
the highest data integrity. A data communications error is indicated in case of command telegrams not
followed by correct message telegrams.
In case that a switched line connection is used and there is a change in system status, the NAV-LCU 443 or
the RCMS 443 initiates an autodialing procedure to the dedicated RMC-R which then polls the new status
message. Besides the status, maintenance data may also be added. With respect to DME-transponder DME
415 and TACAN-equipment TAC 453, the protocols do not follow the polling procedure as described before.
These subsystems also deliver messages to the NAV-LCU without a request by command telegrams. The
protocol used serves maintenance data terminal (PC) menus for the following functions:
- about 10 standard (colloquial) procedures,
- login/logout and password procedures
- routine check for history storage with about 50 measurements.
purposes has direct, permanent access to the navigation systems via separate cable connections, and is
operated independently of the Remote Control and Status Equipment (RCSE), while an RCMS uses the
same communication paths for the maintenance functions as it does for remote control and monitoring. The
following functions are provided:
- System status indication for each connected system
- Permanent indication of the general status of all systems
- Permanent indication of the current date and time
- Detailed status indications for a selected system
- Polling, display and setting of system parameters
- Polling of internal measured values (BITE)
- Continuous monitoring of parameters (either printout if a programmable limit value is reached or
periodic polling)
- 5-level password protection
- Configuration of the remote maintenance and monitoring system
- Loading and saving of setups for operation
- Logbook function, status and alarm history memories
- Selection of data to be printed out
of the ZU modem and the NFK star distributor, in the ILS stations instead of the ZU modem. This is shown in
fig. 1-4.
A second alternative is the usage of a Multiplexer RS232 board instead of the NFK star distributor within the
RCSE. In this case the ILS stations are connected via RS232 (or RS422) dedicated lines to the RCSE (see
fig. 1-5).

RCSE 443- DESCRIPTION AND OPERATION AIRSYS 8BR 02086 1000 DEGFA
If any of the maintenance personnel need to touch one of these subassemblies, they should place both
hands flat on a grounded conductive surface for a few seconds to eliminate static charges. The subassembly
can be touched - preferably at an insulator (board edge, lever mechanism, etc.) - as soon as the potential
has been equalized in this manner. It is advisable to avoid touching the contacts of the plug-in connectors,
the conductor paths and the components themselves. Some of the subassemblies must be left in their
antistatic packaging or plastic bags as long as possible. The special procedures described below should be
followed when subassemblies and plug-in boards are replaced within the framework of repair and
maintenance activities, due to the risk of damage to electrostatically sensitive components.
To remove a subassembly:
- Switch off the system before beginning the replacement procedure.
- Eliminate any static body charges by touching the frame of the grounded rack with both hands.
- Remove the subassembly and lay it down on a bench with a grounded conductive worktop.
- Pack the subassembly in an antistatic plastic bag and send it off to the manufacturer for repair.
To install a subassembly:
- Eliminate any static body charges by touching the frame of the grounded rack with both hands.
- Remove the subassembly from the antistatic plastic bag.
- Install the subassembly.
- Switch on the system again.
WARNING
Do not recharge, disassemble, heat above 100 °C or incinerate any lithium cell. Do not short-circuit the cell
or solder directly on it. Disregard of the norms regarding the use of lithium batteries may cause the risk of
fire, explosion and the leakage of toxic liquid and gas. Run-down batteries are objects that can pollute the
environment and must be disposed of taking the proper precautions.

The CTU is designed to be installed in the ATC control tower. It consists of an »AIR NAV SUBSYSTEMS»
front panel, which indicates the status of each of eight NAV subsystems with one green, one red and one
yellow LED, and can be enhanced with the RWY selector, which in ILS/MLS installations indicates the
general status of two approach systems with four LED’s each, and which has a key switch for selecting the
desired approach direction. Once again, it is possible to cascade additional units. An external line
termination at the end of the cascaded units is not necessary.
- With DUAL FACE INTERLOCK: Only one system at a time is allowed to radiate a signal if the
runway has ILSs on both sides.
- Without DUAL FACE INTERLOCK: Each system can be switched on and off separately if there are
two intersecting or parallel approach directions.
The operating mode is preset in the configuration file. The REU also controls forced switching off of the GS,
the MARKER and the FFM, if the associated LOC indicates an ALARM or a DATA COM ERROR or is set to
LOCAL MODE, or if the associated FFM indicates an ALARM (time-delayed, 1... 60 s). »Automatic disable
on/off» is specified separately in the configuration file for the GS, the MARKER and the FFM.
telegram structure corresponds to an asynchronous protocol which is specifically adapted to the remote
controls of the navigation system.
The telegram is composed of bytes (1 byte = 8 bits). Each byte is limited by a start bit and a stop bit. A
maximum interval of 1 ms each occurs between the data blocks of 10 bits which have been generated. By
setting time loops at the beginning of the transmission, it is thus possible to recognize improper telegram
lengths. Data security is performed by a Cyclic Redundancy Check (CRC).
The ELTA control program - ELTARC - is also invoked through the WIN ADRACS user interface. The RCSE
establishes the handshake with the ELTA control device CU and converts the data telegrams into the
specific ELTA protocol; it also performs the opposite operations.
The WIN ADRACS program is described in more detail in Technical Manual WIN ADRACS.
8.6.1 Initialization
When the system is started up, the configuration file (CONFIG.SYS) is loaded and verified with a CRC
checksum. The operation mode of the REU is then selected (local mode at LCU, remote mode at RCSE or
RMC), the communication channels are assigned according to the system configuration and the interrupts
for controlling the interfaces are defined.
The sequence table is then initialized for the connected stations (baud rate, channel number, telegram type,
etc.), the switched-line modems are installed and the telephone numbers are programmed. All the flags,
peripheral chips, HW and SW counters, multiplexers, tables, etc. must be set to a defined initial state, which
is also partly dependent on the contents of the configuration file. Finally, the password is installed and
communication is started.
Runway selection
The selection of the active runway system is normally done via the CTU. The hardware switches SW1/SW2
on the rear side of the CTU board enable or disable the selection of runway 1 or runway 2, which is done via
the key switch on the front side of the RunWaY Select panel of the CTU. A telegram is sent to the REU
every 2 seconds containing the status of the key switch and the position of the SW1/SW2 hardware
switches. The REU sets the flag RWY-1/2-SWITCH, if the selection of the runway is enabled (on CTU).
If the REU doesn’t receive any Runway Select telegram from the CTU for more than 10 seconds, the PC
gets the permission to manipulate the RWY-1/2-SWITCH flag by actuating buttons within the WIN ADRACS
user program. This only applies until another valid telegram is received from the CTU. Otherwise, the PC is
not allowed to alter the RWY-1/2-SWITCH flag.
PC control of stations
Sending telegrams to a station from PC (using WIN ADRACS user program) is only allowed if the
corresponding runway is not active and the selected station is not controlled by INC panel. To send
commands to the station (e.g. transmitter on/off) the PC user has to be logged in with a password level > 2.
If PC control is active the flag PC CONTROL is set.
Dual-face interlock
The REU manages the two different operating modes for runway systems, which have ILS systems on both
sides. This mode is preset in the configuration file. The two modes are:
- With DUAL FACE INTERLOCK:
Only one of the ILS systems at a time is allowed to radiate a signal.
- Without DUAL FACE INTERLOCK:
Each ILS system can be switched on/off separately if there are two intersecting or parallel
approach directions.
signaled to the RMC as a result of a status change. All other serial interfaces are polled in response to a
request. The MAIN STATUS of stations directly connected is requested by means of a polling mechanism.
Communication with the stations is periodic and controlled by sequence tables, which list all the configured
stations. The structure of the tables differs according to the requirements of the other communication
channels. Due to the fact that no stations which do not belong to the system are configured, the sequence
tables and the polling cycles are both shortened. If there are two low-frequency nodes, the stations are split
between two sequence tables and two of them are addressed simultaneously. The length of the polling
cycles is thus halved.
The control program monitors the time frame of the individual telegram sequences. If an answer message is
not received from the polled station within the specified frame time, the polling continues with the next station
in the table. After n unsuccessful attempts (see configuration file), DATA_COM_ERROR is set for the station
concerned, and the history memory is updated due to the change in the MAIN STATUS. The status
information which is received is checked for changes, which are stored if need be in the history memory.
Since the devices at the interfaces are polled with different protocols, it is necessary to preprocess the data
at the interface uniformly for the system. It is also possible to incorporate new protocols non-reactively into
the existing REU software at later date because of this separation.
The functions at the station are realized on the one side by the application software of the REU and, on the
other, by the software in the laptop PC. As is the case with remote diagnosis, the laptop PC assumes the
interface function to the maintenance engineer, while the REU establishes communications to the individual
devices. As a result of the multiple serial interfaces, a quasi multitasking structure of the REU software is
necessary. Communications for the serial interfaces to the individual devices takes place through the
V.24/RS232C or RS422.
The application is processed in specific structures. In the Accept section, the tasks are accepted by the task
requester and queued for processing. Execution is asynchronous to the task request. In the Operation
Controls section, the tasks are, according to the current status of the subsystem, discarded or additionally
detailed for execution. In the Execution section, the tasks are executed, by polling other devices, for
example, or by assigning other Ada subsystems.
Maintenance mode defines that the equipment to be monitored is under control of the maintenance
personnel (no monitor executive function to this equipment).
- a family of Network Control Protocols (NCP) for the establishment and configuration of different network
layer protocols (OSI level 3).
The PPP protocol utilizes the principles, terminology and frame structures of the specifications of ISO 3309
(HDLC or CCITT X.25 LAPB). The PPP applies the HDLC principle on an asynchronous serial connection.
The control principle corresponds to ISO 4335. The integrity of the data is ensured in accordance with HDLC
by a CRC-CCITT. Upon the establishment of a PPP connection, both stations send LCP packets (link
control). These packets serve to configure and test the link.
After the creation of the data link, the network layer protocol which is used by both sides must be configured
and established with NCP packets (for example: Internet, DECNet, Novell). After the configuration of the link
by PPP, information packets may be sent until the logical connection is canceled by corresponding NCP,
LCP packets. Determined by the clear standardization of the PPP by RFC 1331, PPP implementations exist
for SUN workstations (the BRXPPP used by Brixton Inc., for example) on the one side and implementations
for PC (the PCTCP used by ftp-Softw. Inc., for example) on the other side of the link. These communicate
with each other without problems.
9. CHAPTER 2
INSTALLATION AND INITIAL SETUP
9.1 GENERAL
This chapter describes the installation and initial setup procedures for the RCMS 443. The equipment and
system configurations are dependent on the local situation and may vary accordingly. The RCMS hardware
configuration is adapted to the site with the software by configuration files.
The installation and configuration of the optional Network Interface Link provided via P4N processor board is
described in section 2.3.5.
9.2 INSTALLATION
9.2.1 General
The installation procedures for the various components of the RCMS 443 are dependent on the local
situation. A default configuration is therefore assumed, consisting of an RCSE 443, a slave RSU, a CTU and
RWY select, a PC with a printer and an RMC-R/RMC-C.
9.2.2 Cabling (RCSE/CTU+RWY/RSU/PC/RMC)
- Set the AC and DC power switch on the rear of the subracks to »off»: lower position (Fig. 2-1).
- Connect a ground or frame cable.
- Connect the power supply (either AC or DC, depending on the configuration, see Fig. 2-1).
- Connect the external equipment (see Fig. 2-2).
-
CAUTION
If a DC power supply is used, take care to connect it with the correct polarity. Make sure the correct mains
voltage is set if an AC supply is used (REU: 115 or 230 V).

The modes of the output channels 1 to 6 are configured via jumpers X8 to X38:
- Channel 1: X8, X9, X15, X21, X27, X33
- Channel 2: X7, X10, X16, X22, X28, X34
- Channel 3: X6, X11, X17, X23, X29, X35
- Channel 4: X5, X12, X18, X24, X30, X36
- Channel 5: X4, X13, X19, X25, X31, X37
- Channel 6: X3, X14, X20, X26, X32, X38
The jumper settings for the different modes are printed on the circuit board.
The output signals (for RS232/TTL: TXD, RXD, GND and for RS422: +TXD, -TXD, +RXD, -RXD) of the 6
channels are led to the SubD 25 pin connector NFK-1 (if MPX plugged into slot NFK1) and to NFK-2 (if MPX
plugged into slot NFK2) on the back side of the remote control equipment.
The signals of RS232/TTL and RS422 output channels (Ch1 to Ch6) are led to the pins of NFK-1 resp. NFK-
2 connectors as described in section 1.2.3.1.
The modes of the input channels TXD and RXD have to be configured via jumpers X39 and X40. The
jumper settings for the different modes (RS232 or TTL) are printed on the circuit board.
The LEDs on the left side of the MPX board (see fig. 2) indicate the states of the input signals TXD (red
LED) and RXD (green LED) and the state of the output channels 1 to 6 (yellow LEDs). If the channel is
connected through, the LED is switched off.
NOTE: Depending on the type (ref. no.) of the Modem Backpanel board (MBP) actually used within the
remote control equipment there have to be connected some pins via soldered wirings.

AT-/V.25bis modems:
AT modems (Hayes compatible) as well as V.25bis modems are supported. The setting for the modem type
occurs in the configuration file REU-CONF.SIT. This setting can be overwritten with the PTT file. The
following two modem connection modes are supported:
- DIRECT-MODE
The baud rate between REU and modem is the same as the baud rate between the two modems. The
data is sent to the modem path without buffering. Handshaking is not necessary. Fault correction or
data compression is not possible. This mode is suitable for the virtual link (former ’Face Link’) to
Navaids stations like DME 415 or TACAN TAC 453.
- RELIABLE MODE
This is at least a connection of the type MNP4 or V.42. If additionally a data compression is selected the
type is called MNP5 or V.42bis. The baud rate between REU and modem can differ from that between
the two modems. It is convenient to set the baud rate from the REU to the modem as high as possible
(e. g. 38400 baud). Data buffering takes place in the modems. Therefore a CTS/RTS HW handshake is
necessary.
Configuration of AT modems:
The advantage of AT modems is the various configuration possibilities. The following three standard
initialisation strings are available which are sent automatically from the REU to AT modems:
- Init String: ATZ0
Z0 = reset with following loading of EPROM configuration
- Init-String: ATE0V1X1S0=1S2=255
E0 = echo off
V1 = message code as text (because of baud rate in CONNECT message)
X1 = message codes with state of the baud rate and also dialing without dial tone
S0 = 1 = receive calls after one ring
S2 = 255 = accepting no abort sign
- Init-String: AT&S1&D3
&S = M1 (DSR) On at data connection
&D3 = ON-OFF change at S1 (DTR) interrupts connection and resets modem (ATZ0)
Dedicated line connection between REU and REU. Setting the ’Data com off’ timeout to 10 sec. (range
from 1..32767 sec., standard is 10 sec.).

OPERATION
10.1 GENERAL
This chapter describes the operation of the RCSE in the RCMS 443 for AN 400 (SYSTEM 4000) ILS,
VOR/DVOR and DME. It includes details of the INC, the RSU, the CTU and the PC user program WIN
ADRACS. Description and use of the PC User Program will be found in the Technical Manual WIN
ADRACS, Code No. 83140 55323. The INC/RSU/CTU panels are shown in Fig. 3-2.
10.2.1 Switching On
- AC-power supply: The mains switch (AC-supply) is located on the rear. Set switch to »ON» (upper
position). The Control LED of DC-Converter and the Life LED of SIB inside are on.
- DC-power supply: The DC ON switch (DC-supply) is located on the rear. Set switch to »I» (upper
position). The Control LED of DC-Converter and the Life LED of SIB inside are on.
When the unit is switched on, the REU starts up automatically. This takes around 20 seconds altogether.
The INC/RSU/CTU issue an ALARM (REU COMMUNICATION ERROR) immediately after starting up and
output an audible signal. When the REU software has started successfully, the states of the connected
stations are indicated at the INC/RSU or CTU/RWY Select.
NOTE: In case of a faulty reaction when switching on the RCSE (e.g. LIFE LED is blinking) a special
procedure has to be performed which is described in chapter 2.4.3.

Maintenance mode can be set either at a Maintenance Data Terminal (PC) connected to the RCSE/REU or
at a Remote Maintenance Center (RMC), again via a PC which is connected there to the RCSE/REU. In
both cases, it is controlled using the installed PC User Program (WIN ADRACS).
Since the interface in the REU system is an open interface, access and thus operator actions are governed
by a multi-level password code. When the WIN ADRACS program is started, password information is sent to
the REU. The first PC with a suitable password level (> 2) to issue a request is given priority over the next
requesting PC with the same password level, in other words only one PC at a time can be operated in
maintenance mode in the same system (either locally or at the RMC). The other PCs receive an »Other User
is master» message. All PCs with a password level < 3 will get access to the system. The only exception is a
request for GetAllState data (telegram for main status of station), which can be made by several different
PCs.
NOTE: To avoid bringing in a computer virus it is not allowed to run computer games generally and to use
software programs which are not authorized on the Maintenance Data Terminal (PC). It is recommended to
test the computer or disks with a virus checker.

The processor board P4N 486 provides an integrated flash disk (SAN disk) connected via IDE bus. The
integrated flash disk operates like a hard disk and is partitioned into drive c: (so called ’EPROM side’, 3 MB)
and drive d: (so called ’RAM side’, 1 MB). The configuration files (*.SIT and *.OIO) are stored on ’RAM side’,
the ’EPROM side’ contains the DOS 5.x software and the REU application program.
NOTE: In case of data loss or wrong data of configuration files or REU application program a special
AUTOBOOT.BAT file is installed on the SAN disk, which deletes the certain incorrect, wrong data
on the disk depending on the used type of dongle (adapter) connected to the PC2 interface at the
REU. After deletion the default application program is started to reconfigure the processor board.
11.3.2 SIB
See Fig. 4-3.
SIB stands for Serial Interface Board. The card is employed in the REU for the implementation of
asynchronous, synchronous and parallel communication channels. The INTEL controllers which are used
are PC-software compatible in order to allow compatibility for the entire system of the REU, which employs
an industry PC in Eurocard format as the central unit. The bus on which the card is located is the MCE bus.
All communications connections are implemented through the connector back panel. The settings for
interrupt assignment, base address assignment, signal specification and polling logic are all made on the
card with jumpers. A maximum of 6 asynchronous channels and 4 synchronous channels may be realized in
a system.
The bus drivers/receivers serve for bus coupling and buffering for the MCE bus. The PAL preprocesses the
necessary chip-select signals, preprocesses the RD and WR signals and makes the selection signals
available for data/control words. In addition, it makes the signals available for the .bis matching circuit and
preprocesses the controls for the 8-bit parallel I/O processing.

The communications controllers are operated with the buffered system bus and supplied by the TTL clock
with a basic frequency of 18.432 MHz. The controllers preprocess their baud rate from this basic frequency.
The primary requirement for the synchronous communications controller (82530) is the maintenance of the
recovery time between two read/write processes. This time is summed with a counter. In case the recovery
time has not elapsed before the next read/write command, an I/O extension is initiated. In addition, two WAIT
STATES are inserted with every read/write process. Interface modules serve to convert the TTL outputs of
the controllers to the desired level, whereby the following are valid:
Asynchronous channels:
The existing controllers may assign interrupt lines independently (normal state). However, they may also
jointly poll interrupt lines. Jumpers serve for setting the interrupt line assignment, selection between XT and
AT interrupts, the signal specification for channel 3. For the utilization of one of the interrupts IRQ 10, 11, or
12, it is necessary for a PC-AT to be available as the central unit.
In order to make possible operation of the communication channels 2 and 3 with the ZU1 (Tx inverted on the
KDI), configurable inverters are available on the SIB.
Synchronous channels:
The interface modules serve to convert the TTL outputs of the controller to the desired level, whereby
channel A and channel B may be offered optionally on the TTL level or on the RS232 level. The
communications controller is polled with the buffered system bus and provided with the basic frequency
through the TTL clock. The controller can preprocess its baud rate from this basic frequency.
The setting of the interrupt-request channel, whereby only one channel may be plugged at any time, and the
channel selection for the DMA operation is made by jumpers. For the utilization of one of the interrupts IRQ
12, 14, or 15, it is necessary for a PC-AT to be available as the central unit.
11.3.6.1 LGM28.8
See Fig. 4-4.
The LGM 28.8 is a high speed modem for duplex operation which supports all common duplex modulation
procedures. The modem is designed for synchronous as well as for asynchronous data transmission
according to the following CCITT modulation modes: V.34, V.32bis, V.32, V.22bis, V.22, and V.21, which
have implemented the data securing procedures according to V.42 and MNP4. Data compressing to
increase the baud rate is implemented according to V.42bis and MNP5. These procedures enable a practical
fault free transmission between two data terminal equipment (DTE) units. Depending on the procedure the
transmission rate can be increased up to 38400 Bd (autobaud) using V.42bis and the AT -mode/reliable
mode. The modem can also communicate with modems from other vendors at the same transmission rates,
providing these modems comply with CCITT Recommendations V.22 and V.22bis. Software configuration is
possible using AT or DNL commands while hardware configuration is performed employing the DIP switches
located at the bottom and on one side of the module. It is designed for operation in public switched networks
and consequently equipped with an integrated automatic dialing facility (IAWD). Data connections can
however also be set up by the subscriber dialing manually and pressing the data key. Point-to-point
operation on dedicated lines (leased or tie lines) is likewise possible. Almost all the modem functions can be
set by the data terminal equipment (DTE) using a command set in accordance with CCITT Recommendation
V.25bis. Correct operation of the microprocessor and the signal processors is monitored by an integrated
circuit, which initiates a »master reset» if one of these processors malfunctions (watchdog).

Lb Modem controller

Setting
A data connection can be set up by means of either the integrated automatic dialing facility or the automatic
call acceptance feature. It is also possible to dial out or to accept incoming calls manually. No dialing takes
place on dedicated lines. All the V.25bis commands and messages are exchanged via the interfaces which
are also used to transfer the actual data. After a call request with identification, the LGM checks whether the
subscriber line is already busy, i.e. whether the subscriber is in the process of making a call. If not, the
outside line is seized. The LGM then transmits the dialed digits which have previously been transmitted by
the DTE. After the dialing procedure, an intermittent 1300 Hz tone is transmitted and the modem waits for a
constant 2100 Hz answer tone. As soon as this answer tone - which is transmitted by modems with an
automatic call acceptance facility - is identified, the two modems start the prolog (handshake).
A data connection can only be terminated by the DTE, unless there is no carrier for more than 250 ms/10 s.
In this case, the line seizure is canceled by the LGM. Eighteen switches are provided on the PC board for
presetting the seven different operating modes, the four communication protocols and various other
parameters. A self-test is performed each time the modem is switched on. The default setup is as follows:
2400 bd, V.22bis, autodial.
When the »TEST» key on the front panel is pressed, the modem is switched to the »close range analog
loop» (without transmitter) while the key is pressed. This is also active during the transmission phase (the
connection is then aborted).
In half duplex mode on two-wire connections, the participating data transmission equipment each seizes the
telephone line in succession. The respective DTE responsible for transmission controls operation with the
105/S2/RTS (ready to send) signal. This activates the modem’s carrier. The DTE must only offer data to the
modem via the 103/D1/TD line once a specific delay after ready to send has elapsed and the modem has
switched the 106/M2/CTS (clear to send). During the delay time between the »ready to send» 105/S2/RTS
and »clear to send» 106/M2/CTS signals, the signal detector of the receiving modem will already react and
will adapt the clock signals of the receiver to the clock pulse of the incoming signals.

With the 109/M5/DCD (receive signal level) signal, the receiving modem indicates that it is capable of
forwarding received data (104/D2/RD). If the 109/M5/DCD (receive signal level) signal is not in the ON state,
the receive interface line (104/D2/RD) is in the »I» state. A so-called fast clamping circuit is integrated in the
LGM1200MD to avoid trailing bits during reception. It is processor-controlled, with the result that no more
than 1 byte can occur as a trailing byte.

transmit level is set approximately by a voltage divider, which is decoupled from the transmit filter by means
of a buffer preamplifier. The level can be reduced by up to 30 dB in steps of 10 dB. The fine setting is made
in steps of 3 dB using the transmit filter.
The line disconnection circuit IS11 isolates the transmitter and the receiver jointly from the trunk circuit. The
trunk circuit is disconnected automatically if the control line is interrupted. It is matched to the ZU1 by a
balanced-to-unbalanced transformer, and is therefore electrically isolated from it and terminated with 600 W.
Test sockets are provided on the front panel of the ZU1 for measuring the transmit and receive levels. The
ZU1 is set to 4-wire operation in conjunction with the NFK.
The receive preamplifier IS2 has two stages. Its gain can be set to either 6 dB or 26 dB. The receive filter is
a 5-stage L/C filter with a band-pass characteristic. A limiting amplifier IS3 is connected to the output of the
receive filter. It amplifies the signal which has been attenuated by the receive filter, and its limiting action
prevents the downstream demodulator from being overdriven. This reduces the effects of level fluctuations
on the transmission path.

In addition, a continuous tone can be switched in the transmit direction in order to adjust the level of the
ZUA. The tone can either have a constant frequency or be an FSK signal for tuning the internal FSK
receiver. The activity of the transmit and receive data and the levels on the connected lines are indicated by
LEDs. The connected trunk circuits are accessible via ISEP test sockets on the front panel. The gain can be
set separately with jumpers for each transmission direction. The signals of F11 and F21 are supplied to the
modem.
The transmit signal of the modem is switched to the F12 and F22 outputs with the signal of the analog switch
(MRTS). The transmit level of the modem can be set jointly for both outputs by means of jumpers. The LD A
and LD B LEDs indicate the receive levels of F11 and F21, while the TxD and RxD LEDs indicate activity on
the transmit and receive data lines. The CTRS interface signal switches the transmit level of the modem via
MRTS. The MDCD input signal is switched to the TCRR interface line and indicates readiness to receive.
The NFK can link up to six different lines, each of which can be set to either 2-wire or 4-wire operation. Two
NFKs with up to 12 lines can be connected in the REU. If NFKs are used in the top section, each line can be
switched to a standby top section as a simulated standby line. A common transformer of the NFK in the top
service section is used for the service line and the simulated standby line. Each line can be disconnected
separately by means of a control line.
The control inputs are electrically isolated from NFK ground. The control states of the lines are indicated by
means of LEDs on the front panel (LED lit = line disconnected). All the inputs/outputs of the line interface
have a balanced impedance of 600 W and are electrically isolated from one another. The transmit and
receive levels can be measured at the test sockets on the front panel.

11.5.1 General
The central feature of the RCSE/REU is an industrial PC system which uses MS-DOS (Version 3.3 or
higher). All the data required to run the remote control system correctly (the operating parameters) is saved
in a file on the ’RAM side’ of the flash disk on the processor board P4N 486. The actual RC program and the
operating system (MS-DOS) are stored on the ’EPROM side’ of the flash disk on the processor board P4N
486 as normal MS-DOS files.
12. CHAPTER 5
MAINTENANCE
Dial numbers:
It is useful to generate a dial number directory. This is done with ’Edit
phonenumber File’ of the REU-OPERATIONS menu FILE TRANSFER. The
directory is created automatically in the file »site name\*.PTT» in the PC.
Back-Up
A regular back-up of collected data on a separate floppy disk or at least a
regular printout should be performed to prevent data loss of maintenance
data, collected over a longer period. It is recommended to do this weekly at
first. Afterwards it may be done monthly or if a change has taken place.
Monthly DATE/TIME:
It is recommended to check the correctness of the REU Date and Time. An
incorrect time or date will result in differences in summer time and winter time
setting or in other differences. If the time and date are incorrect, adjust with
DATE&TIME REU in the REU-OPERATIONS menu.
