INTRODUCTION
Ericsson’s Integrated EDACS® Alarm (IEA) systemis a highly integrated and scaleable test and alarm systemdesigned to support the GPS Simulcast system and meet awide variety of customer requirements. The IEA uses aGraphical User Interface (GUI) to allow easy, intuitivediagnosis of system status. This system providessignificant improvements in fault detection, fault isolationand equipment monitoring by:
• Integrating test and alarm functionality into asingle platform.
• Adding GUI capability.
• Putting a highly expandable hardware/softwareplatform in place, providing a foundation forfuture expansion of features for all EDACSsystem and site options.
• Reporting test call failure detail to the operator
• Providing GPS receiver/multiplexers/base stationremote control.
SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE
The IEA computer replaces the previous generationalarm system, Alarm Control Unit (ACU), Master AlarmSystem (MAS), Remote Alarm System (RAS), Laptop PCand Test Unit Alarm Interface (TUAI) and integratesthose functions into a rack mounted Personal Computer.Figures 1 & 2 show Block Diagrams of the IEA system.Figure 1 shows the Block Diagram of the IEA computeras connected at the Control Point. Figure 2 shows theBlock Diagram of the IEA computer as connected at aTransmit Site. An explanation of these sites is providedlater.
EXTERNAL INTERFACES
Figures 1&2 show the IEA’s external interfaces ascovered in the following text. Refer to Appendix A for adefinition of Digital and Analog interface signals. Refer toAppendix B for a definition of RS-232/RS-422 datainterfaces.
Graphic User Interface (GUI)
A GUI is used to configure the test and alarm system,to display Simulcast equipment alarms and to remotelycontrol GPS receivers, Intraplex multiplexers andMASTR III Base Stations. The GUI utilizes WindowsNT™ and icon’s to create an intuitive, user friendly Man-
Machine-Interface (MMI) . Status and alarm informationis presented hierarchically and is accessed through point-and-click mouse operations. The GUI is available locallyat all IEA computer locations (Figures 6 & 7).
Event Log Interface
Alarm event logs are kept on the hard drive. Theselogs provide the user with a record of alarm activity fordiagnostic purposes. The size of the event log isconfigurable through the event viewer menus. Filters canbe configured to log and display only what the user needs.A hardcopy of the Event Log can be printed out asdescribed in the next paragraph (Figure 16).
Printer Interface
A printer interface produces hardcopy of materialdisplayed on the monitor through the WindowsClipBoard. Performing a “Print Screen” places thedisplayed information in the ClipBoard. The informationcan then be printed as hardcopy from the ClipBoard.
Site Controller Interface
The Site Controller Interface processes generalpurpose, user defined, digital alarm inputs and outputsbetween the IEA computer and the Site Controller. TheSite Controller forwards this information to the SystemManager. The IEA provides information to the SiteController to indicate the status of general purpose inputs(i.e. door open, lights on, etc.). These general purposeuser defined inputs are expandable by the IEA to providehundreds of digital I/O channels.
GETC Interface
The GETC interface consists of three signals, theInhibit Request, Reset and Receiver Fault Lines. TheInhibit Request line (Figure 1) takes a channel out-of-service and is automatically activated by the IEA at theControl Point when a channel has failed a test call or hasreported low RF power.

Figure 1 - IEA System Block Diagram (Simulcast Control Point)
The Reset Line is connected to the Control PointGETC’s (Figure 1). The operator may reset Control PointGETC’s from the GUI.
The Receiver Fault Line is monitored at the transmitsite by the IEA during test calls (Figure 2). This lineprovides the IEA with an indication that the individualcontrol channel and working channel base stations areoperational during a test call.
Digital Input Interface
The digital input interface supports both EDACSspecific and customer specific signal monitoring (Figures1 & 2). The EDACS specific signals include PTT (activewhen the base station is transmitting and triggers RFpower measurement), RX Fault (active during Test Calls)and Synchronizer (Synch) Shelf Alarms.
Customer specific signals are definable by the userand are triggered by relay closure to ground or TTL leveldigital voltage. They are polled by the IEA processor at auser definable rate from 10 seconds to 500 seconds.
Appendex A shows the allocation of digital andanalog signals in the IEA.

Digital Output Interface
The digital output interface provides active TTL leveloutput lines. They activate built-in fault tolerance signals(i.e., GETC inhibit request lines and GETC reset). Referto the GETC Interface paragraph.
Analog Input Interface
Analog inputs are provided for RF powermeasurement purposes. Low base station RF power andlow forward/high reverse antenna power failures aredetected. Power levels are sampled continiously andstation power (in watts) is displayed at the user interface.The RF power sensors are rated at 1000W, 5 Vdc.
Test Unit Interface
In order to perform deterministic simulcast test callprocessing, the Test Unit interface supports:
• Control Channel Failure
• Test Call Request
• Test Call Results
A test call failure is reported to the operator as alarmsunder the channel groups. Refer to Maintenance ManualAE/LZB 119 1885 for information on EDACS Test Callprocessing and features.

Base Station Receiver Fault Interface
The base station receiver fault interface is used by thetest call processing software to determine whether or notthe test call high speed data handshake took placecorrectly. The interface supports a single TTL level linefrom every channel base station (up to 24 stations).
Push-To-Talk (PTT) Interface
The PTT signal located at the simulcast transmit siteis a TTL level input to the IEA. This signal is activated bythe Control Point when a channel is transmitting RFpower. The IEA uses this signal to trigger the station RFand antenna power monitoring. Refer to Analog Input.
GPS Receiver Interface
The GPS receiver interface provides remote controland status for multiple GPS receiver devices located ateach transmit site and the Control Point. The interface is4-wire, RS-485 running at 9600 bps. For moreinformation on the GPS receiver refer to the appropriatevendor’s maintenance manual.
Intraplex Multiplexer Interface
The Intraplex Multiplexer interface provides remotecontrol and status for multiple multiplexer devices locatedat each transmit site and at the Control Point. Up to 24multiplexers are possible at a simulcast Control Point. Theinterface is a single RS-232 serial interface running at9600 bps to the first multiplexer. Messages are thenbussed between multiplexers on a separate RS-485 Bus.For more information on the Intraplex Multiplexer refer tothe appropriate vendor’s maintenance manual.
MASTR III Base Station Interface
The MASTR III Base Station interface providesremote control for up to 24 base stations. Each stationconnects to the IEA through an RS-232 serial port. Statusof the MASTR III Base Stations gain potentiometers isprovided on the GUI. These potentiometer include:
• DSP Line Pot• DSP Line Cancellation Pot• DSP Comprssor Gain Pot• Line In Pot• Line Out Pot• Transmit Pot• Channel Guard Pot• Voting Tone Gain Pot• Compressor Threshold Pot
The “DSP line in pot” gain is used by an operatorusing the IEA to adjust transmit deviation duringSimulcast system alignment. The remaining pots are not
normally used by the IEA. For more alignmentinformation refer to GPS System Alignment Manual LBI-39210.
Control Point to Transmit Site Interface
The Control Point IEA is the system mastercontroller. All transmit site IEA’s initialize (boot) fromthe Control Point. If communication is lost to a site, theIEA continues to operate and log alarms locally. Whencommunication is restored, the site IEA reboots from theControl Point. Note: any configuration changes made at atransmit site must be made while connected to the ControlPoint or will be overwritten.
Up to 24 IEA computers, located at 24 individual sitelocations, may be connected to a central IEA computerlocated at the simulcast Control Point. Each site link is a19.2k bps data channel through the Intraplex Multiplexeron the inter-site T1/E1 interface. As an option, the IEAwill operate at 9600 bps.
Hardware User Interface
Display Terminal, Keyboard, Mouse
A display terminal, keyboard and mouse are availablefor each IEA computer for a user interface. These itemsare always available at the Control Point and optional atthe TX Site.
Racking
The rackup drawing for the simulcast Control Pointand Transmit Site locations are shown in OverviewMaintenance Manual LBI-39194. The IEA and associatedperipherals are allocated the space designated as “Test &Alarm Computer.”

Tree View
The Tree View is effective in seeing an expandedview of the system, quickly locating the source of analarm and seeing specific equipment status.
The Tree View shows all equipment connections inthe order of hierarchy. Figure 7 shows an example of asystem tree view.
The following explains how the tree presentsinformation. The actual adding of equipment is coveredlater in the under the title: CONFIGURATION .
The beginning of the example tree starts with theEricsson Customer. This is the top of the equipmenthierarchy. To the Ericsson Customer is added an ExtendedSystem. This is the next level of hierarchy. To theExtended System is added a Multisite Network. To theMultisite Network is added a GPS Simulcast. To the GPSSimulcast is added a transmit site 1 (TX 1), to the TX 1 isadded an IEA Computer, etc.
If the tree is collapsed a small box with a plus (+) isshown to the left of Ericsson Customer (See Figure 8).Note: The (+) is only shown when there are sub-items.Clicking with the mouse on this plus (+) causes the nextlower level of equipment in the hierarchy to be displayedin the tree (See Figure 9), and the (+) toggles to a minus (-). Clicking with the mouse expands and collapses the tree(see Figure 8).
Map View
The Map View section of the MMI screen provides amap of the system starting from the location selected inthe Tree View. Clicking with the mouse at a location inthe Tree View automatically updates the map view to anychanges made in the Tree View. A location can also beselected from the Map View by double clicking at thatpoint.

Properties View
The properties view of the MMI provides informationabout the status and configuration of the currently selecteditem in the tree view. Depending upon the type of itemthat is selected, a different set of tabs and properties aredisplayed.
The Properties View section of the MMI screenprovides tabs labeled:
• General• Power Meas.• RF Power Summary• RF Power• FWD Power• REV Power• DSP/Line/Out• TX/CG/VT/CT/MID• Severity• Time-outs• Receiver• Time/Date/ Position• Timing Param’s• Notes
Depending on what object is selected in the tree view,the property view displays a General tab, a Notes tab, andany tabs associated with properties of the selected object.Tabs are related to specific equipment in a specific MapView. For example, when the Map View is active the tabsshown in Figure 11 are active.
Following Figure 11 is a brief description of each taband the properties that may be found.
Figure 11 - Example of Properties View Showing Tabs
General Tab
This tab is present for all objects in the database,although different types of objects will have differentcombinations of properties present on the tab. The generaltab displays a combination of the following objectproperties:
Description - This property determines the text usedto identify the object in the map and tree views of thedatabase. The description for any object in thedatabase can be changed by the user, although careshould be taken when renaming alarm items, since thealarm’s function is indicated by its name.
To change the description of an object in thedatabase, select the item in the tree view and wait forthe properties view to update. Next, change the text inthe description field and press the Write button.When the text returns to black, the new descriptionhas been written to the database and all subsequentoperation will use the new description.
Alarm Threshold - This controls which alarmindications are allowed to pass up the tree hierarchyto the next level. In other words, if this property is setto Major, then only Major and higher severity alarmsbelow this object in the tree affect the object’s color.
OPERATION LBI-39209

The current setting of this property is indicated by ashaded circle. To change this setting, select thedesired value by clicking on it and press the Writebutton. When the color of the text returns to black ithas been written to the database, and all furtheroperation will use the new value.
Alarm Switches - These switches control how thealarm system reacts when an “Active” condition isdetected for the currently selected object in the tree.A brief description of each is provided below:
• Log - Controls the logging of the alarm inthe system application event log. When thisproperty has an “X” next to it, a SET orCLEAR event will be logged to theApplication event log.
• Sounds - Controls the generation of soundswhen an “Active” condition is detected forthe selected object in the tree. When thealarm is SET, a series of beeps is producedon the PC speaker. These beeps progressfrom a single, low pitch for a Warning levelalarm to four high pitched beeps for aCritical level alarm.
• Latch - Controls storing of an alarm SETevent in the Latched Alarm window. Whenthis property has an “X” next to it and thealarm is SET, the item will appear in itsrespective color in both the Tree view andthe Latched Alarm window. When the alarmcondition clears, the object color will revertback to green in the tree view, and stay“Latched” at the same color in the Latchedalarm window.
System Type - This read-only property indicates thetype of system that is selected in the tree view.Possible values are Trunked Simulcast System,Trunked Single Site, Single Channel Trunked(SCAT), Conventional Simulcast, and ConventionalSingle Site.
Site Type - This read-only property indicates the typeof site that is selected in the tree view. Possible valuesare GPS Simulcast Control Point andTransmit/Receive Site.
Analog IO Point Number - This property indicatesthe channel on the analog IO board that correspondsto the object selected in the tree. It can be adjusted byclicking the spin button on the right either up ordown, and will cycle through the available analog IOpoints. Care should be used when adjusting thisproperty, since setting it to the wrong value will causeinvalid alarm indications for the object.
IO Point Number - This read-only property indicatesthe channel on the general purpose digital I/O boardthat corresponds to the object selected in the tree. Forinformation on how this relates to the Alarm Cross-Connect panel, refer to Appendix A.
System Manager Alarm - For backwardscompatibility with the System Manager, any alarmobject can be assigned to one of 32 System Managerinputs. This property controls two items: Whether aSET event of the object is reported to the SystemManager, and which of the 32 System Manager inputsit is reported on.
When multiple alarm object are set to the sameSystem Manager input, the input to the SystemManager is SET if any of the alarms is SET. In otherwords, an OR function is used to combine the alarminputs to the System Manager.
WIN RT Device Number - Used for diagnosticspurposes. This read-only property indicates aninternal setting of the IEA system software, and isgenerally not of use to the user.
Number of IO Points - This read-only property isfixed for each board in the system. The IEA Systemsoftware uses this property as part of its internalconfiguration process. It is generally not of use to theuser.
Inhibit GETC’s On - This is actually a group ofproperties that are used to determine when a GETCinhibit request line is SET. Any combination of thefollowing may be used to determine if the inhibitrequest line(s) should be SET:
• Test Call Failure - Any failure of a test call,as reported by the test units at transmit sites.
• Low RF Power - A power measurement at asite did not equal or exceed the Low RFPower Threshold set for the base station.
• Control Channel Failure - The IEA Systemdetected a failure of the control channel at asite.
Isolation Board Installed - This property signifiesthe presence of IO isolation boards in the system.When IO Isolation boards are present, (this is thetypical situation) the polarity of the GETC InhibitRequest Lines and GETC Reset lines must bereversed in the IEA system software. This propertyshould be checked when isolation boards areinstalled.
Enter / Leave Bypass Button - For Transmit/Receive sites, this button will put the site into bypass

or remove it from bypass, depending on the currentstate of the site.
Reset GETC’s Button - Available only at a controlpoint, this button will toggle the GETC Reset line atthe site, resetting all GETC’s at the site.
Severity Tab
The Severities Tab is available for all alarm andstatus (On/Off) items in the database. The followingproperties can be found on the severity tab:
Alarm Severity - This controls the severity level thatis used when reporting an “In alarm” state for theselected object in the tree view. This property is notpresent for status items (Those with values ofOn/Off).
Present Status - This read-only property displays thecurrent status of the item in the database. Thebackground of the text corresponds to the severitythat the alarm has been configured to.
Alarm Polarity - This determines the polarity thatthe IEA System uses to determine if an alarm is SETor CLEARED. Note that this is hardware dependent,and should not be changed arbitrarily.
Reason For Last - Read-Only text field is present forboards under the IEA computer object in thedatabase. When an IO board failure alarm is SET, thisfield contains information describing the reason forthe failure.
Alarm if Less Than (Watts) - This property is onlyavailable for Antenna Low Forward Power andStation Low RF Power alarms. It controls thethreshold at which an alarm is SET. When themeasured power level is less than this setting, thecorresponding alarm is SET.
Alarm if More Than (Watts) - This property is onlyavailable for Antenna High Reverse Power. Itcontrols the threshold at which an alarm is SET.When the measured power level is greater than thissetting, the corresponding alarm is SET.
Power Meas. Tab
This tab is only visible when a Site is selected in thetree view. It controls internal software parameters for theIEA System’s power measurement reporting algorithm. Ateach site, power is measured and packaged into “reports”,which are sent to the user interface at a predeterminedtime. By varying the values of these parameters, one canadjust the balance of system loading vs. real-time updatesof the power measurement graphs.
Max Measuremnt’s Per Report - This propertycontrols the maximum number of measurements perreport sent to the user interface. On very activesystems, this forces power measurement reports everyn measurements, and measurements are not lost.
Max Seconds Between Reports - This propertycontrols the maximum time between reports. Onsystems with very little activity, this forces an updateat the user interface at timed intervals.
Max Samples Per Calc. - This property is usedinternally by the IEA software. It controls themaximum number of analog samples that are used fora power calculation. When the number of analogsamples specified by this property are taken, a powermeasurement value is calculated and placed in thereport for transmission to the user interface.
This property forces reporting on the power level ofthe control channel. Since the PTT signal on thecontrol channel never resets, without this property ameasurement would not be calculated.
Delay After PTT - This property is used to set thedelay following an active PTT signal before analogpower samples are taken. Since base stations takesome time to reach full steady-state power, thisproperty ensures an accurate power measurement.
Delay Between Samples - This property controls thesampling frequency of the power sensors, and shouldnot be adjusted by the user.
RF Power Summary Tab
This tab is only visible when the CHANNELS objectat a site is selected in the tree view, and contains a graphthat displays the last measured power value for eachchannel or station at the site (Figure 12). It is updatedeach time a power report is received from the site (SeePower Measurement Tab description above for moredetail regarding when reports are sent).
Important features of the graph include:
• Power bar for each Channel - A bar isplotted for each channel or antenna at thesite.
• Numeric indication of measured value - Atthe top of the bar, the numerical value of themeasurement is printed. This is onlyavailable when the graph style is set to 2DBar.
• Threshold settings for each Channel - A lineindicates the threshold setting for a Low RFPower alarm for each station at the site.

• Indication of Control Channel - A (CC) isprinted next to the numerical value of thecontrol channel, and the bar is shaded with ahatch pattern to indicate the channelcurrently being used as the control channel.
• Indication of channel under test - A (TST) isprinted next to the numerical value of thechannel under test (If any), and the bar isshaded with a cross-hatch pattern to indicatethat the channel is currently being used tomake a test call. This indication is performedin real-time as the test call is performed.
• Red bar for alarm - If at any time themeasured power value drops below the LowRF Power alarm threshold, the bar for thatchannel will be displayed in red to indicatethat it is in alarm.

Receiver Tab
This tab is only visible for GPS Receivers, andprovides general information about the receiver. Thefollowing properties are provided:
Manufacturer’s Info - These properties are read-only, and are read from the internal ROM of thereceiver. They include:
• Vendor - The name of the receiver vendor.
• Model - The model number of the receiver.
• Serial No. - The serial number of thereceiver (if implemented).
• Firmware Revision - The revision of theinternal firmware of the receiver.
Receiver Status - These read-only properties indicateinformation measured by the receiver.
• Internal Temperature - The internaltemperature of the GPS receiver, measuredin degrees C.
• Satellites Tracked - The number of satellitescurrently tracked. Note that when thisnumber drops below 4 the receiver is
considered to have lost Lock status andbegins timing out on the GPS Lock Alarm.
Time/Date/Pos Tab
This tab is only present for GPS Receivers, andindicates the time, date, and position measurements asreported by the receiver. While values can be set by theuser, they will be overwritten by the IEA software once alocked status is reported by the receiver.
Time and Date - The time, date, and Time Zone, asdetermined by the GPS Receiver.
Position - The position of the receiver, includingLatitude, Longitude, and Altitude.
Timing Param's Tab
This tab is only present for GPS Receivers, andprovides control of the two GPS Receiver timingproperties as described below:
One Pulse per Second Offset - This controls theamount of delay to place on the One Pulse PerSecond output of the Receiver. This is typically onlyadjusted during system alignment.
Antenna Cable Delay - This controls the amount ofdelay with which to compensate for antenna cablelength. This is typically only adjusted during systemalignment.
Time-outs Tab
This tab is only present for the following three GPSReceiver alarms: 9.6kHz Alarm 10MHz Output Alarm,and GPS Lock Alarm. The tab will contain a combinationof the following properties:
Timeout Value - This property controls the amountof time that the GPS Receiver is allowed to runwithout a locked timing signal before the alarm isSET. Individual settings are available for each of thethree outputs of the receiver; 9.6 kHz, 10 MHz, andGPS Locked status.
The value is entered in days, hours, minutes andseconds.
Time Remaining - This read-only property indicatesthe time remaining before the corresponding alarm isSET. If the GPS Receiver is locked to 4 or moresatellites this value should be the same as the TimeoutValue property (See above). When the receiver loseslock with the satellites, the value of this parameterdecreases to zero and the alarm is SET.
OPERATION LBI-39209

Note: The value of this parameter does not update onthe tab in real-time, and must be explicitly “Read”using the read button at the bottom of the window.
DSP / Line In / Line Out Tab
This tab is only visible for base stations. It containsproperties which adjust internal base station potentiometersettings, and, with the exception of the DSP Line Inproperty, should not be adjusted by the user. Thefollowing is a brief description of what each property doeswithin the base station:
DSP Line In Pot (0-255) - Used to adjust the level ofthe audio input to the station as “remote audio”. InSimulcast this is used to fine tune/match the stationaudio deviation. The nominal level input is -10 dBm.
DSP Line Cancellation Pot (0-255) - Used in a 2-wire system to “subtract”/cancel the line out audiofrom the line input audio. Not used in Simulcast.
DSP Compressor Gain Pot (0-32767) - Sets the gainof the MASTR III station compressor. In simulcastset to 1023 (off).
Line In Pot (0-255) - Sets the remote audio drivelevel. In simulcast it sets the audio level sent to thevoter, nominal -10 dBm.
Line Out Pot (0-255) - Sets the remote audio drivelevel. In simulcast it sets the audio level sent to thevoter, nominal -10 dBm.
TX/CG/VT/CT/MID Tab
Like the DSP Line In/ Line Out tab, this containsproperties that control internal base station potentiometersettings. Under normal operating conditions, none of theseproperties should be adjusted by the user. Below is a briefdescription of what each property controls:
Transmit Pot (0-255) - Sets the Maximum. Txdeviation (Limiter) w/o channel Guard (LSD). Thismust be set appropriately for the band limits. Thesetting also must be closely matched to the other sitesin simulcast.
Channel Guard Pot (0-255) - Sets the ChannelGuard or Low Speed Data deviation appropriate forthe band. In Simulcast this setting must be matched tothe other sites.
Voting Tone Gain Pot (0-127) - Sets the level of the1950 Voter tone. Nominal -10 dBm.
Compressor Thresh. Pot (0-32767) - Sets thethreshold for the MASTR III station compressor to
start actively compressing the audio. In Simulcast setto max. - 32767, so it will not “compress”.
Morse ID Transmit Pot (0-255) - Sets the TXdeviation level for Morse code in standard stationapplications. Not used in simulcast.
Repeater gain - Sets the gain of the “in cabinet”repeater path. Set to 1023 (unity gain) for simulcast.
Timing/Loopback Tab
This tab is only visible when a multiplexer CommonModule is selected in the tree. It contains properties thatcontrol the timing of the multiplxer as explained below:
Primary Timing - This property controls the sourcefor the primary timing signal of the Common Module.It may be set to Internal (Fallback), External(Normal), or Loopback sources.
Fallback Timing - This read-only property displaysthe fallback timing mode of the common module.This property is factory set to Internal at the factory.
Loopback - The multiplexer offers three loopbackoptions, Line, Equipment, and Payload. Each of thesemay be turned on or off through the check boxes inthe Loopback frame. In general, care should be takento not enable multiple loopback modessimultaneously.
• Line Loopback - The line loopback mode isuseful for testing the integrity of the transmissionpath and the T1 connections to the multiplexer.In this mode, the decoded T1 receive signal islooped back into the T1 Line Driver input.Receive data also passes on to the demultiplexer.Refer to the vendor literature for additionalinformation on using the line loopback mode.
• Equipment Loopback - Equipment loopback isuseful for testing individual channel modules inthe multiplexer. It loops the transmit signals atthe multiplexer output back to the demultiplexerinput. During equipment loopback, the T1 outputof the Common Module is an All Ones signal.Refer to the vendor literature for additionalinformation on using the equipment loopbackmode.
• Payload Loopback - Payload Loopback is usefulfor verifying the operation of the CommonModule up to the bus interface of the channelmodules. Data also passes on to the receive sideof the channel modules. Refer to the vendorliterature for additional information on using thePayload loopback mode.
LBI-39209 OPERATION
20
Framing/Coding Tab
This tab is only visible when a Common Module isselected in the tree view. It provides control of theframing and coding modes of the common module asdescribed below:
Framing - The framing format of the Commonmodule can be set to either SF (Super Frame) or ESF(Extended Super Frame). ESF is the preferred format,unless the network or channel service unit cannotsupport it. Refer to the vendor literature for additionaldetails on setting the framing format.
Coding - Line coding can be set to either B8ZS(Bipolar with 8 Zero Substitution) or AMI (AlternateMark Inversion). B8ZS is the preferred format, andshould always be used unless the network or ChannelService unit cannot support it. Refer to the vendorliterature for additional details on setting the linecoding.
Settings Tab
This tab is present when a Multiplexer T1 Module isselected in the tree view. It contains properties that controlthe T1 Module. Normal operation of the Multiplexerrequires the T1 Module to be placed in Local control,during which many of the properties are read-only andcannot be adjusted. If an attempt is made to adjust on ofthese properties, the user will receive a message indicatingthat the parameter cannot be adjusted. Below is a briefdescription of the properties on this tab:
Requested Delay - This controls the T1 Delay settingin the multiplexer. When this value is set, themultiplexer will either immediately change the delaysetting internally (Step Transition, or SmoothTransition Mode OFF), or begin a slow transition tothe new value (Smooth Transition Mode).
Actual Delay - The T1 Module has discrete valuesthat the delay can be set to. If a value is requested thatdoes not match one of these discrete values, the delayis set to the nearest one. This property indicates theactual value that the delay is set to. In addition, if themodule is making a transition to a new value, thisproperty displays the current value of the delayparameter. Note that this is not updated in real-timeand must be updated using the Read Button at thebottom of the main window.
Control Mode - This read-only property indicates thecurrent control mode of the T1 Module. The modulecan operate in either Local (Default) or remote
modes. The current operating mode can only be setby physically changing switch settings on the module.
Settings - The T1 module has several settings thatcan be adjusted by the user. This properties groupallows control of these settings. The following is abrief description of each setting. For moreinformation, refer to the multiplexer vendor’sdocumentation.
• In Service - This property indicates that theselected T1 Module is in use at the presenttime.
• Smooth Trans. - This property indicateswhether smooth transition mode (Hitless) isenabled (Default value) or not. Whenenabled, any change to the T1 delay is madegradually, allowing the delay to changewithout losing T1 synchronization. Whendisabled, a step change is made to the T1Delay, causing a momentary loss ofsynchronization until the module canestablish lock again.
• Ext. Timing On - This property indicateswhether an external timing signal is beingused for transmit timing. When this propertyis checked, the module is using an externalRS-422 clock at 1.544 MHz. When it is notchecked, the module is using an internalCM-3A timing source (Internal orLoop/Thru timing) for transmit timing.
• 422 Inverted - This property controlswhether the RS-422 control signal isinverted or not. When this property ischecked, the signal is inverted.
Port Directions Tab
This tab is only visible for a General Purpose DigitalIO Board. It provides read-only status of the board’s IOport configuration. The input/output pins on each boardare divided into groups of eight, and each group (Port) canbe configured as either inputs or outputs. This tabprovides a tabular display of each available port, and thedirection that it is configured in.
Notes Tab
The notes tab is visible for every object in the IEASystem. It provides a place where up to 500 bytes ofinformation may be entered and stored in the database.Several points should be considered when using the notesfield of the IEA System:
OPERATION LBI-39209
21
Database Size - The notes are stored within thedatabase itself, which will directly effect its size, andhence the time to load and transfer it into thecomputer. Some tips to remember:
• Keep notes brief.• Place notes at the highest applicable level in
the hierarchy.
Persistence - The notes entered into this tab arepersistent - That is, they remain in the database untilthey are explicitly erased or the database is rebuilt.The notes section, therefore, remains present even ifthe power to the system is shut off or the systemreboots.
System Wide - Notes are present in the database atall sites while the sites are connected. Notes enteredwhile the sites are connected will be present at a sitethat is no longer connected to the control point. Inthis condition, remember that when the site re-connects to the control point the Control Point’sdatabase will overwrite the database at the site, so anychanges to the notes field while the site isdisconnected will be lost.

USING THE SYSTEM
Alarms
Alarm indications (normal/alarm) are represented bythe background color of the item, in the hierarchy tree andmap view, according to the severity of the alarmcondition. The actual color of the item follows theNetwork Manager standard for Critical, Major, Minor,Warning and Normal level of severity.Disabled/Off/Active and Not Active indications are alsoavailable for some alarms and equipment in the hierarchytree. The highest severity of an alarm climbs the tree tothe highest level. The colors normally representing theseverity of an alarm are:
• Green - Normal Operation
• Red - Critical
• Orange - Major
• Yellow - Minor
• Cyan (light blue) - Warning
• Gray - OFF
To set the severity of a particular alarm, click on thealarm in the Tree View and then select the Severity Tabfrom the Properties View. Select the desired severity levelby clicking on it with the left mouse button, and write it tothe database by pushing the Write button. When the colorof the severity text returns to black, the value has beenstored to the database:
An alarm threshold can be established by going to theProperties section, General tab and Alarm Threshold ofthe MMI screen and selecting:
• No Alarms
• Critical
• Major
• Minor
• Warning
These affect the propagation of the alarm indicationsup the tree. As an example, “Major” means that onlymajor or higher severity alarms are reflected in the item’stree and map views.
“No Alarm” means that no alarms below that item aredisplayed in the Tree View. “Critical” means only criticalalarms are displayed. “Major” mean major and criticalalarms are displayed. “Minor” means minor, major andcritical alarms are displayed. “Warning” means warning,minor, major and critical alarms are displayed.
When the alarm threshold has been selected, all of theconditions are displayed in blue. This means that they
have been selected but not written to the database.Pressing the Write button at the bottom of the screenwrites the information to the database. The conditions arethen displayed in black.
At the bottom of the Properties screen is an alarmstatus bar which provides a tally of all alarms currentlypresent: Critical, Major, Minor and Warning, and thenumber of alarms that have been “latched” in thedatabase. These counts include alarms that are atdisconnected sites and are displayed in Gray.
Another feature of the alarm tally icon’s is thatdouble clicking on the icon activates an Alarm HistoryLog (See Figure 14). This log provides a running historyof the selected alarm. This is a short cut for the menu itemView/Alarm History . Note: The most recent alarm isdisplayed at the top of the list.
Figure 14 - Alarm History Log
Latched Alarm Status
The latched alarm status is displayed fromView/Latch Alarm in the main menu. Double clickingwith the left mouse button on the “latched” icon in thebottom right-hand corner of the MMI screen is a shortcutto this screen. The Latch Alarms status is displayed (referto Figure 15).

Selecting Alarm from the Alarm Status Tree screendrop down menu, then Acknowledge will clear an alarm.Selecting Acknowledge All will clear all alarms.
This Latched Alarm Tree display is identical to theTree View but shows alarm conditions that have occurredduring a time frame and have been latched in the database.Selecting Event Log displays the system event log (Referto example in Figure 16). Double Clicking on an event inthe log, with the left mouse key, will display all the detailspertaining to the event.
Event Log
The Event Log can also be accessed by selecting thepull down menu View, then System Event Log. The IEAsystem stores (logs) all alarm data (latched or not) in eventlog until it is full. When the Event Log is full, the systemwrites over the oldest data first. Under no circumstanceswill the system stop recording data. The operating systemgenerates an alarm when the event log utilization hasreached a user-defined limit.
The Event Log records the date and time an alarmoccurred, the source of the alarm, the category, eventnumber, user if applicable, and the computer (Figure 16).By selecting View, then Filter Events, the user can opt toshow events occurring between dates and times, types ofevents, information, warnings, errors, success audits andfailure audits. The source and the category can also beselected. The Newest and Oldest event can be selectedand displayed.
Selecting and double clicking with the left mousebutton displays all Event Details pertaining to theselected event.

RF Power
The Properties View provides tabs for a powersummary of each channel and for measuring real timeforward and reverse RF power to the antenna. Thesemeasurements are used to monitor if the MASTR III BaseStation and its associated antenna. While transmitting, thepower output from the station and antenna is measuredand compared against a threshold to determine if a low RFpower alarm should be generated. The powermeasurements are also collected to provide trend analysisand other statistics.
When a TX Site is selected from the Tree View, theProperties View provides a Power Meas. tab (Figure 17).This tab allows the operator to set:
• Maximum measurements per report
• Maximum seconds between reports
• Maximum samples per calculation
• Delay after PTT in milliseconds
• Delay between samples
Additional information about these settings isavaliable in the Operation Section titled Power Meas.Tab.
Selecting CHANNELS from the Tree View, then thePower Summary tab from the Properties View, displaysgraphs as shown in Figure 18. These graphs provides acontinuous indication of the power level (in watts) of eachchannel in the system. The line indicate the thresholdlevel. When the power falls below this level, the IEAsystem initiates an alarm.
Selecting ANTENNAS from the Tree View, then thePower Summary tab from the Properties View, displaysgraphs as shown in Figure 19. These graphs provide acontinuous indication of the forward and reverse power(in watts) going to the antenna(s) collectively.
Selecting an individual antenna, such as Antenna #1,from the Tree View, then the Fwd Power tab from theProperties View, displays a graph as shown in Figure 20.This graph provides a continuous indication of theforward power (in watts) for the selected antenna.Selecting the Rev Power tab from the Properties View,displays a graph as shown in Figure 21. This graphprovides a continuous indication of the reverse power (inwatts) for the selected antenna.

Site Links
The Control Point IEA owns the systemconfiguration and all sites are slaved to it. Whena remote site which has been disconnected, isreconnected to the Control Point IEA theconfiguration of the Control Point IEA overrideseverything else.
NOTE
The Control Point IEA connects to the transmit siteIEA’s through a multiplexer T1/E1 connection, which isthe primary link. If for some reason this link is broken, thetransmit site IEA’s will continue to operate and logevents. The MMI will display all sites to whichcommunication has been lost in gray. A telephone lineconnection through modems can be used for a backup(secondary) link. If the primary link is lost, the transmitsite(s) will try to link back up to the Control Point throughthe secondary link. As soon as the primary link is restoredthe transmit site(s) will reboot from the Control PointIEA.
