Radio Disassembly
If the XTS2500 radio is to be programmed outside of the ACE3600 housing, disassemble the
radio as follows:
Procedure 21-14 How to Disassemble the XTS2500 Radio from the ACE3600 Metal Chassis
1.
Disconnect the antenna cable (FKN8434A) from the Antenna connector on the radio.
2.
Remove the radio/bracket unit from the RTU chassis by unscrewing the three built-in
screws.
3.
Disconnect the DC power cable (FKN8515A) from the Power connector on the radio.
4.
Disconnect the 13-pin connector of the programming cable (RKN4106A) from the
Accessory connector on the radio.
5.
Detach the metal bracket (#0789422V40 from FHN6674A) by unscrewing the four radio
screws (#0310906A67), two on each side. (See Figure 21-10.)
6.
Take the radio to a laboratory for programming, as described in CPS Programming
Settings below.
CPS Programming Settings
Before programming the radio, read the codeplug file from the radio and save it to your PC
using the File->Read command in the CPS (R05.00.00 or above). Open the codeplug file in
the CPS and set the parameters as follows.
Procedure 21-15 How to Program the XTS2500 Digital Radio
1.
In the CPS, click on the codeplug in the tree view to open the items below.
2.
Under Radio Configuration, double-click on Radio Wide.
a.
b.
c.
3.
Double-click on NAT List -> NAT List Entry 1.
a.
In the General tab, set the Out of Range Indicator and Imbalanced Coverage
Indicator to Alert & Display.
(Recommended) In the Data tab, enable SNMP Traps. (You can disable it, but
the RTU will only detect a loss of context activation the next time it polls the
radio (every 10 seconds by default).
(Optional) Specify the Mobile Computer IP address. This is the dummy IP
address assigned to the RTU by the radio (by default it is 192.168.128.2). For
each radio, it is recommended to change the last digit in the Mobile Computer IP
address (e.g. to the Unit ID in Trunking systems.)
Add an entry to the NAT List:
1) WAN port = MDLC over IP port number (e.g. 2002)
2) LAN port = MDLC over IP port number (e.g. 2002)
3) Static NAT IP Address = Mobile Computer IP Address (e.g. 192.168.128.2).
