Generally no other changes are required to Advanced Physical or Link Layer parameters. For
information on these parameters, see the MDLC over IP chapter of the ACE3600 STS
Advanced Features manual.
Procedure 21-3 How to Configure the Advanced Parameters of the ACE3600 Port for the Astro
IV&D Digital Radio
1.
(ASTRO System 6.3-6.5 only) Make sure that the Advanced Link parameter
Registration life time to 28800 seconds (default) in order to restart the radio periodically.
2.
If any changes are required, click on the appropriate screen in the Port Tab.
3.
Change the settings as necessary.
Note: The Default Group ID Address should be left 000.000.000. The actual values will
be read by the RTU from the radio upon connection.
4.
Save any changes.
5.
Save the project.
6.
Download the site configuration to the ACE3600 RTU.
IP Conversion Table (for Astro IV&D Digital Radio)
Prepare an IP conversion table if the RTU must communicate with another RTU or an IP
Gateway. In the IP conversion table, specify the IP address of each RTU port (site ID + link
ID). This IP address is assigned by the infrastructure operator.
Note that an IP address is obtained from the radio once it is connected to the RTU port over
PPP. The IP address obtained from the radio is not the real IP address set by the infrastructure,
but rather a dummy address. This dummy is configured in the radio via the CPS Mobile
Computer IP address parameter (by default 192.168.128.2).
When device LINxL level 0 is retrieved using the ACE3600 STS Software Diagnostics tool,
the IP Address displayed is this dummy address and not the actual IP address assigned by the
infrastructure operator.
It is recommended to create two IP conversion tables:
1.
The first is downloaded to the FIU or IP Gateway on the LAN and includes the site and
IP information for each RTU.
2.
The second is downloaded to all RTUs which are connected to the infrastructure with
ASTRO IV&D radios, and includes the site and IP information for the FIU and IP
Gateway.
For detailed instructions on preparing the IP conversion table, refer to the IP Communications
chapter of the ACE3600 STS Advanced Features manual.
Programming the Astro IV&D Digital Radio using CPS
The XTL5000/XTL2500 radio is programmed for ACE3600 in the factory and is ready for
ASTRO IV&D communication. For user programming of site-specific parameters, the radio
should be brought to the Motorola Service Center.
