Publication Record Issue Publication Date Description 1 December 2015 First release TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 Preface 7 8 Preface TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 1 Description The Tait TB7300 base station is a robust state-of-the-art digital fixed station that combines Taits proven strengths in reliability and high performance with software-based configurability and operation, digital signal processing and voice-over-IP technology. The base station is designed for operation in a Digital Mobile Radio (DMR) Tier 2 conventional or Tier 3 trunked radio network. The ability of the base station to link stations using standard Internet Protocol communications, and to add features through software options ensures that DMR systems designed with the TB7300 are scalable in both size and functionality. The TB7300 can also operate as a simple, conventional analog repeater with CTCSS1 subaudible signaling2. The base station combines industry-leading digital voice quality with rugged design specifications and intuitive user interfaces. These products have been designed to meet the demanding needs of professional radio users. Its Ethernet interface provides built-in network connectivity. This network supports voice-over-IP in DMR networks, and remote management of all base stations via a web browser. 1. Private Line (PL). 2. Multi-site operation with voice-over-IP connection will be supported in a later release. TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 Description 9 1.1 Features The following are some of the features of the base station:
Fully compliant with the DMR Tier 2 and Tier 3 Standards. Can therefore interoperate with any similarly compliant radios. Analog conventional repeater operation. Can be completely managed remotely from a PC running a web browser: configuration, alarm monitoring, fault diagnosis, feature and firmware upgrades. Alarms can also be reported via SNMP traps, allowing integration with an SNMP-based network management system. Rugged construction with generous heatsinks and fan-forced cooling for continuous operation from 22F to +140F (30C to +60C). 10 Description TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 1.2 Frequency Bands and Sub-bands Much of the circuitry in the base station is common to all frequency bands, and is therefore covered by a single description in this manual. In some cases the descriptions refer to specific bands or sub-bands, and these are identified with the letters listed in the following table. Frequency Identification Frequency Band and Sub-band B band B3 = 148MHz to 174MHz 50W TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 Description 11 1.3 Applications The TB7300 is designed for operation in a Tait TN9300 DMR Tier 2 conventional radio network, a Tait TN9300 DMR Tier 3 trunked radio network, or as an analog conventional repeater. In a DMR Tier 2 conventional network it can operate as a stand-alone repeater, or as a member of a multi-site system (under the supervision of a DMR conventional node). Since DMR provides two logical channels
(timeslots) simultaneously for each radio frequency (physical channel), two users can alternately access the same frequency, one in each timeslot. Base stations on different sites can be linked together to form channel groups. A base station can support two channel groups, one in each timeslot. In a DMR Tier 3 trunked network it can operate as a traffic channel or a control channel. With two logical channels for each radio frequency, a single TB7300 base station can provide two traffic channels, two control channels, or both a traffic channel and a control channel. In analog operation it can operate as a conventional repeater with CTCSS1 subaudible signaling2. For more information, refer to the DMR System Manual. 1. Private Line (PL). 2. Multi-site operation with voice-over-IP connection will be supported in a later release. 12 Description TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 1.4 Licenses Some operational functions of the base station are controlled by licenses. These functions will not work unless you purchase the appropriate feature license and enable the feature set controlled by that license. The feature sets currently available are listed below. The base stations in a Tait DMR Tier 3 Network are controlled by a node
(DMR trunking controller). The TB7300 is compatible with two types of Tait node: Express and Access. Each type of node has different capabilities. Refer to TN-2134 for more information. A base station operating as an analog conventional repeater needs the TBAS301 license. DMR Trunking Express
(TBAS302) A base station with this license can accept connections from any Express node/standalone node or Access standalone node. In single-site trunking and fallback modes, this license entitles a standalone node to control a single site of up to 20 physical channels. DMR Trunking Access
(TBAS303) A base station with this license can accept connections only from an Access standalone node. This license entitles a standalone node to control a single site of up to four physical channels. DMR Conventional
(TBAS304) A base station with this license can operate in a Tait DMR Tier 2 conventional network. It can operate as a stand-alone repeater, or as a member of a multi-site system (under the supervision of a DMR conventional node). A base station with both a DMR Conventional license and a valid DMR trunking license (such as Express or Access) can be configured to operate in either mode. This enables a DMR Tier 2 base station to be reconfigured and re-used in a DMR Tier 3 trunked network. Analog Air Interface
(TBAS301) A base station with this license can operate as an analog conventional repeater. TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 Description 13 1.5 Theory of Operation The RF input is fed directly to the receiver board, while the RF output is via the exciter and PA boards. The control board also receives signals from, and sends signals to, the system interface, the Ethernet interface, and the front interface (see Figure 1.1). The Ethernet interface carries voice over IP and also allows maintainer access via a web browser. Figure 1.1 Base station high-level diagram RF Input Receiver Board Exciter Board Control Board System Input and Output Ethernet Interface to Network RF Output PA Board Front Interface Supply Interface Board The control board carries out signal processing and has overall control of the base station. The control board converts information between analog and digital and controls the maintainers access via the Ethernet interface. It performs the air interface signal processing for digital DMR operation, gives the base station an identity as a network element, and provides the physical connections for the Ethernet and system interfaces. 14 Description TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 1.5.1 Signal Paths Figure 1.2 gives an overview of signal paths within the control board. Figure 1.2 Control board signal paths Receive RF Interface Transmit RF Interface ADC DDC Demodulator DMR Modem Control DAC Modulator FM Baseband Audio G.711 Protocol Stack RTP UDP IP Ethernet Interface Reciter Control Board Digital DMR signals from the receive RF interface pass through the digital receiver and DMR modem to the control software in the RISC processor. The control software passes the signal through the Ethernet interface to the node controller. Input to the Ethernet interface is from the node controller. This input is processed by the RISC and passed through the DMR modem to the transmitter. Analog FM signals from the receive RF interface pass through the digital receiver and are converted to G.711 before being modulated and retransmitted. 1.5.2 Online and Offline Modes The base station normally operates in Online mode, but you can put it into Offline mode via its web interface. Online Mode In Online mode, the base station performs its normal functions. Offline Mode Some procedures, such as activating firmware or running certain diagnostic tests, require the base station to be in Offline mode. This takes the base station out of service. TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 Description 15 1.5.3 Power Supply The supply interface board accepts a nominal 13.8VDC input and distributes it to the PA board and front interface board. The front interface board then feeds the receiver, exciter and control boards. The supply interface is fused at 15A. 1.5.4 Front Panel Fans The base station is equipped with three fans. One fan is for the receiver, exciter and control boards, and the other two fans are for the PA. Front panel fans do not operate continuously, but are switched on and off as needed. The fans can also be temporarily enabled for test purposes via the web interface. When the base station is powered up, the fans turn on until the main software fully boots. 16 Description TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 2 General Safety and Regulatory Information This chapter provides general information on safety precautions for operating the base station.

Declaration of Conformity You can download the formal Declaration of Conformity from www.taitradio.com/eudoc. 2.5 Device and Network Security If this radio network equipment is used for mission-critical applications, it is important to be able to ensure security and continuity of operation. For IP-network-connected equipment, it is also important to ensure that this equipment is not a means of compromising other equipment in the network. All network elements should be physically secured, where possible. This includes the use of locked cabinets and locked rooms. Seals on connectors can also provide a visual indication of unauthorized tampering. Tait recommends that all network and audio connectors should be sealed with the stick-on type of seal. The seal should reveal if any of the connectors have been unplugged, or if any unauthorized equipment has been plugged in. The seals should be difficult to remove without breaking, and should bridge between the cable and equipment side (plug and socket) of the connection. Seals should cover any unused network or audio sockets. This includes the Ethernet connector on any adaptor front panels, any spare switch ports, and the console port on the router and switch. The seals should be difficult to reproduce. A sticker initialed or signed by the technician should satisfy this. Seals must be replaced if they need to be disturbed during maintenance. 22 General Safety and Regulatory Information TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 3 Operation This section describes the indicator LEDs on the front panel.

word and username for your own security (refer to Working with the Web Interface on page 35). Make sure that you store your passwords and usernames securely and do not lose them. They may be needed by Tait support personnel if assistance is required. Tait cannot retrieve for-
gotten passwords. TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 Working with Base Stations from Your PC 29 4.2.2 Setting the IP Address Before the base station is installed on site, you need to provide it with its proper IP address. Make sure that you do not lose this address. 1. 2. Select Identity > Identity > Network. Enter the required details in the Change network identity area and click Save. 4.2.3 Security Certificates You can upload your own security certificates to the base station (Tools >
Settings > Web certificate). If you have installed and configured the appropriate Certification Authority software, you can issue security certificates for all base stations. After uploading the certificates to the base stations, you can configure all maintainers web browsers to accept security certificates from your own Certification Authority. Before you have uploaded a security certificate to the base station, it will raise a security warning when your browser connects to it for the first time. The base station creates a self-signed certificate when the firmware is installed. Your browser raises a security warning because the security certificate was not issued by a trusted Certification Author-
ity. The browser has a way of letting you override or bypass the security warning. 30 Working with Base Stations from Your PC TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 4.2.4 Connecting a Networked PC to a Base Station Windows 7 or Windows Vista Windows XP Professional You may want to temporarily disconnect a networked PC from its LAN in order to be able to establish a direct connection with the base station.

TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 Working with Base Stations from Your PC 33 4.2.7 Setting Up Authentication Connections to the base station can be authenticated by a remote
(i.e. centralized) service (Tools > Settings > Authentication). Two remote authentication protocols are supported: LDAP and RADIUS. Notice Only people experienced with the AAA architecture and authentication protocols should make changes on this page. Moving logins to a centralized server can provide enhanced security for a number of reasons, such as:
less work is required to manage password-controlled access to all base stations in a network; you no longer need to change the password in each base station individually previously used passwords may be excluded from re-use access can be denied after a set number of incorrect passwords is entered passwords can be set to expire on a certain date remote access to base stations can be globally enabled and disabled as required for technical staff during the commissioning process. Once the centralized server logins are set up, we recommend that only one local administrator login is left on the base station for emergency use
(e.g. when the connection to the server is lost). The password for this emergency login should be kept secret. Notice Unless they are deleted, any local logins left on the base sta-
tion will still work and have priority over remote logins. 34 Working with Base Stations from Your PC TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 4.3 Working with the Web Interface This section provides an overview of the web interface.

Click Help and navigate to the description of that alarm. 1. For this change to take effect, you must log out of the base station and then log back in again. TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 Working with Base Stations from Your PC 39 4.4.4 Working with Configuration Files At any time, you can save the current configuration settings as a file
(Tools > Files > Configuration > Backup configuration). This is stored in the base station, but we recommend that you download it and store it on your computer as an off-site backup. The base station identity and network identity are not saved as part of the configuration file. You may want to develop a master configuration and upload it to all base stations in the network. The master configuration can contain all the different channel configurations and can be common to all base stations. The base station identity selects the default channel. Base stations are delivered with a default configuration which provides a safe set of values. We recommend that you download it and store it on your computer as a backup before changing and saving any configura-
tion settings. You can also generate a report containing all the base stations configuration settings (Tools > Files > Configuration > Configuration report), which can be saved as a text file. We recommend that you do this when the base station is commissioned. This report can be useful later if there is a problem with the base station. Comparing the original report with the later one may highlight changes in configuration that are causing a problem. 4.4.5 Setting Up Custom Alarms Each of the base stations 12 digital inputs can be used to raise a custom alarm when the input goes high or low. The Custom Alarms form
(Configure > Alarms > Custom Alarms) allows you to assign a name to each custom alarm, and to configure whether the alarm is triggered when the digital input goes high or low. Custom alarms are reported via the web interface and SNMP traps. Custom alarms are used to provide an alarm when an external event activates a digital input. You can rename any of the available alarms to provide a more meaningful name, such as Door open. Take care when setting the severity of alarms, including custom alarms
(Configure > Alarms > Severity). Setting an alarms severity to Major will cause the node to take the base station out of service when the alarm is raised. Refer to the Help for more information. 40 Working with Base Stations from Your PC TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 4.4.6 Preparing to Download Firmware New versions of base station firmware are remotely downloaded to base stations from a package server (a web server application). You can set up a single computer to be the central package server for all the base stations on your network, using a web server of your choice. Tait also provides the Mongoose1 web server as part of the base station firmware package for use with a temporary package server, such as a laptop. The base station firmware package can be downloaded as a zip file from the Tait support website. This procedure describes using the Mongoose web server. Installing the Firmware Package The installation procedure copies files into a folder and adds items to the Windows Start menu (Start > Programs > Tait Applications > TB93002). From the Start menu you can then access the Help, licenses, manuals and release notes for each firmware package, and also start Mongoose. You do not have to install Mongoose to make it work, because it is a self-contained executable file. Once started, it will run in the back-
ground until stopped, or the computer is shut down. Mongoose must also run from the same folder as the firmware files. 1. 2. Save the zip file to a suitable location on the hard drive of the pack-
age server computer. Extract the zip file, then navigate to the root folder and double-click TB9300.msi to run the Windows installer. Notice Tait recommends that the maximum length of the path to the location of the extracted files is 100 characters. Using a longer path may cause the files to be extracted incorrectly. 1. Mongoose runs on Windows only. 2. The TB7300 is designed to use the same firmware and download system as the TB9300. TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 Working with Base Stations from Your PC 41 Setting Up a Central Package Server It is beyond the scope of this manual to describe the exact procedure for setting up a central package server for any particular network. Tait expects that each customer will configure their own package server according to the requirements for their network. However, you do need to configure each base station with the IP address and port of the package server computer. 1. 2. 3. Log in to the base station and select Configure > Base Station >
Miscellaneous. Under Package server, enter the IP address and port number of the package server. Download the firmware as described in the Help. Notice The base station has enough space for two firmware pack-
ages. If the base station already has two packages, delete the unwanted package before downloading another. Setting up a Temporary Package Server If you want to use a laptop as a temporary package server, you can temporarily override the package server IP address and port in each base station. 1. Run Mongoose on the temporary package server (Start > Programs
> Tait Applications > TB7300 > Mongoose). 2. Windows Firewall may raise a Security Alert about allowing Mongoose to access your network or the internet. a. In Windows 7 allow access to private networks. b. In Windows XP click Unblock. 3. 4. 5. 6. Log in to the base station and select Tools > Firmware > Download. Under Package server, enter the IP address of the laptop. The default port number is 8080. Download the firmware as described in the Help. If you have trouble with any of the above procedures, please consider the following points:
The firmware download process uses the HTTP protocol. If you are using a laptop from outside the radio communications network, make sure that HTTP traffic can get through the firewall. If Mongoose fails to start, it may already be running, or another application may be using port 8080. If the error message Could not find index file appears when listing packages, Windows security may be silently blocking access for Mongoose. Turn off the laptops WiFi and temporarily disable its firewall, then try again. 42 Working with Base Stations from Your PC TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 The base station has enough space for two firmware packages. If the base station already has two packages, delete the unwanted package before downloading another. 4.4.7 Checking for Interference on a Receive Channel You can use the Signal Level page (Diagnose > RF Interface > Signal Level) to look for sources of interference across a range of receive frequencies. The chart on this page has two lines. One shows the current RSSI measurement for the selected frequency. The second shows a historical trace of peak RSSI readings on that frequency. TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 Working with Base Stations from Your PC 43 44 Working with Base Stations from Your PC TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 5 Installation This chapter provides information on the site requirements for your TB7300 equipment and also describes how to install the base station in a standard 19 inch rack or cabinet. If this is your first time installing a TB7300 base station, we recommend that you read the entire chapter before beginning the actual installation. TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 Installation 45 5.1 Before You Begin 5.1.1 Equipment Security The security of your base station equipment is a high priority. If the site is not fully secure, the base station should at least be locked in a secure, ventilated cabinet to prevent unauthorized access. 5.1.2 Grounding and Lightning Protection Electrical Ground A threaded grounding connector is provided on the rear of the tray for permanent connection to the site protective ground point (refer to Connecting Up the Base Station on page 59 for more details). The minimum wire gauge for this connection is 1.35mm/16AWG. Lightning Ground It is extremely important for the security of the site and its equipment that you take adequate precautions against lightning strike. Because it is outside the scope of this manual to provide comprehensive information on this subject, we recommend that you conform to your countrys standards organization or regulatory body.

Notice Do not operate it in a sealed cabinet. You must keep the ambient temperature within the specified range, and we strongly rec-
ommended that you ensure that the cooling airflow is not restricted. Notice The cooling fans are mounted behind the front panel. To ensure adequate airflow through the base station, do not operate it for more than a few minutes with the fans disconnected (e.g. for servicing purposes). 5.1.4 Ambient Temperature Sensor The ambient temperature reading for the base station is provided by the temperature sensor located inside the chassis. TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 Installation 47 5.1.5 Cabinet and Rack Ventilation Refer to Figure 5.1 on page 49. Adequate cooling airflow is critical to the performance of the base station. The cooling airflow for the base station enters through the front panel and exits at the rear of the tray. For optimum thermal performance, the heated air that has passed through a base station must not be allowed to re-enter the air intakes on the front panel. Each base station requires an unobstructed airflow of 18m3/h (11cfm). To allow enough cooling airflow through a cabinet mounted base station we recommend the following:
A distance of 5cm minimum clearance to any obstruction to the front of the tray. An open area of at least 50cm2 (8sq.in.) per tray of ventilation slots or louvres in front of the air intakes for the fans for each tray; for example ten 685mm (0.253.3in.) slots will allow the recommended airflow. A distance of 10cm minimum clearance to any obstruction to the rear of the tray. An open area of at least 50cm2 (8sq.in.) per tray of ventilation slots or louvres in the top of the cabinet, or to the rear of each tray. A distance of 7.5cm minimum clearance to any obstruction to either side of the tray. A 2U gap at the top of the cabinet. The ventilation opening must be unrestricted. If the slots or holes are covered with a filter, mesh or grille, the open area must be increased to allow the same airflow as an unrestricted opening. The maximum ambient temperature entering the cabinet must not exceed the maximum temperature specified for the base station. If the base station is installed in a rack or cabinet with other equipment with different ventilation requirements, we recommend that the base station be positioned below this equipment. Auxiliary Extractor Fans If multiple base stations are fitted in a cabinet, auxiliary extractor fans may be required to ensure adequate cooling. If fitted they should be capable of extracting 18m3/h (11cfm) per base station in the cabinet. If you have any other configuration, the performance of your system will depend on how closely you comply with the base station airflow requirements described above. 48 Installation TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 top view front view Figure 5.1 Typical cabinet ventilation requirements b 2U 20cm

Cut the tape securing the flaps at the top of the carton and fold them flat against the sides. Rotate the carton carefully onto its side and then onto its top, ensuring that none of the flaps is trapped underneath. Slide the carton upwards over the foam cushions and lift it away. Remove the cushion from the bottom of the base station. Lift the base station clear of the remaining cushion. Disposal of Packaging If you do not need to keep the packaging, we recommend that you recycle it according to your local recycling methods. The foam cushions are CFC-
and HCFC-free and may be burnt in a suitable waste-to-energy combustion facility, or compacted in landfill. 50 Installation TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 5.3 Identifying the Equipment You can identify the model and hardware configuration of the TB7300 by referring to the product code printed on a label at the rear of the base station. The meaning of each character in the product code is explained in the table below. This explanation of product codes is not intended to suggest that any combination of features is necessarily available in any one product. Consult your regional Tait office for more information regarding the availability of specific models and options.

This section provides an overview of these procedures:
checking that the base station powers up correctly checking the basic functionality of the base station by using the tests available in the web interface customizing the configuration for the intended installation and verifying that the configuration is correct changing the root password tuning the base station (if required). 5.4.1 Confirming Operation Applying Power 1. 2. Notice Make sure that the RF output is connected to a suitable atten-
uator or dummy load. Do not remove the load while the PA is transmit-
ting as this may damage the PA output stage. Apply power to the TB7300. Check that the base station powers up correctly:
All LEDs turn on initially, then the transmit and receive LEDs turn off, leaving the green power LED on, and the red alarm LED flash-
ing. The alarm LED will turn off when the base station has finished its start-up sequence. Functional Tests The following table provides an overview of the tests available using the web interface. Refer to the Help for full details of these tests. Test Notes Menu receiver operation requires a suitable RF source Diagnose > RF Interface > Receiver transmitter operation requires connection to the network Diagnose > RF Interface > Transmitter ping NTP query checks the IP connection to another device with an IP address checks if the NTP-based time synchronization is working Diagnose > Connection > Network 52 Installation TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 5.4.2 Customizing the Configuration The following steps provide an overview of the process used to configure the base station with the settings it needs. Refer to the Help for detailed information. 1. 2. Log in to the base station (refer to Connecting Your PC to the Base Station on page 28 for more details). Select Configure. The base station has many different settings that can be configured before it is put into operation, such as:
channel configurations alarm control and SNMP agent network interfaces quality of service CWID miscellaneous items such as NTP and package servers. 3. Make the changes needed in each form and click Save. We recommend that you save the configuration to your PC or network. First make a backup copy of the configuration (which is stored in the base station as a file), then save this file to a folder on your PC or network. This provides a backup which can be restored to the base station if the configuration information becomes lost or corrupted. TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 Installation 53 5.4.3 Restricted Port Numbers Certain configuration settings in the base stations web interface require you to enter a port number (for example, the trunking interface). Two ranges of port numbers are unavailable for use with the base station. The web interface will prevent you from entering a number from these ranges, as explained below. Restricted Port Numbers Details 0 1023 12000 14999 The well-known ports, commonly used by other devices in a network. Using a port number in this range could cause compatibility problems with other devices. Reserved for internal use in the base station. Using a port number in this range could cause the base station to malfunction. 5.4.4 Changing the Root Password Notice The following procedure can be carried out only if secure shell access (SSH) is enabled. Secure shell access to the base station is disabled by default from version 1.35 onwards. To enable SSH, select Tools > Settings > Secure shell and click Start. The root password to the Linux operating system of the base station is a possible security risk. The equipment is delivered with a default password that is well known. Knowledge of the password could be used to render the equipment inoperable, for example by deleting files. If you are concerned about the security risk that this poses, change the password. If Tait provides support services, it may need to know the password. Notice If you change the password and then lose it, the equipment must be returned to Tait. Make sure that you store the password securely and do not lose it. To change the root password, follow these steps. 1. 2. 3. 4. Log in from your PC to the base station using SSH client software such as PuTTY. The username is root and the default password is k1w1. At the # prompt, enter the command passwd. Follow the on-screen instructions. Record the password in a secure location. 54 Installation TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 5.4.5 Tuning the Receiver Before the base station is installed on site, you may need to tune the receiver front end. The receiver front end requires tuning if the receive frequency is shifted more than 2MHz away from the previously set frequency, or the RSSI level of the new frequency is more than 1dB lower than the RSSI level of the previously set frequency. The receiver in the B-band base station covers one of the following frequency bands, depending on the model:
B3 - 148 to 174MHz Each of these bands is split into 2 sub-bands:
B3 - 148 to 159MHz and 159 to 174MHz Each sub-band has its own helical filter (shown in Figure 5.2 below) which is electronically switched in or out of circuit depending on the frequency programmed into the base station. The bandwidth of these helical filters is approximately 1.5MHz. Figure 5.2 Identifying the B-band receiver front end helical filters B3: 148 to 159MHz B3: 159 to 174MHz To check the RSSI level and tune the receiver front end (if required), follow these steps. 1. 2. Place the base station on its side or upside down to allow access to the holes on the base to tune the helical filters. Log in to the TB7300 and select Monitor > Interfaces > RF Interface. For information on connecting directly to the base station, refer to Connecting a Networked PC to a Base Station on page 31. TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 Installation 55 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Feed a signal at the currently tuned receive frequency and at a level of 80dBm into the RF input. Check that the RSSI reading on the RF Interface page is 80dBm 1dB. Note this reading. Set the TB7300 to the new receive frequency. Change the RF input signal to the new receive frequency at 80dBm. Check that the RSSI reading is 80dBm 1dB. If it is, the receiver front end does not require tuning. If it is not, go to the next step. Using the Johanson tuning tool1, adjust the correct helical filter for the new frequency (as shown in Figure 5.2) to obtain a peak RSSI reading. This reading should be within 1dB of the reading at the previous frequency. Adjust the center resonator of the filter first, followed by the two outer resonators (in any order). Each resonator should require approximately the same amount of adjustment when tuning. A change in frequency of 5MHz requires approximately one turn of the tuning slug. If tuning to a lower frequency, adjust the slug in (clock-
wise); for a higher frequency, adjust the slug out (counterclockwise). Change the RF input signal and the receive frequency to 0.5MHz above and below the required frequency and check that the RSSI reading does not drop by more than 0.5dB from the reading at the required frequency. Recalibrate the RSSI at the new frequency (Calibrate > Calibrate >
RSSI). If you wish to confirm the accuracy of the tuning procedure, carry out a sensitivity measurement at the new frequency. 1. Included in the TBA0ST2 tool kit. Also available separately as part num-

This is especially true when the channels are combined into a single antenna. If at all possible, the RF planner should avoid frequency plans in which the Rx to Tx spacing is an exact multiple of the trunked channel spacing, thus forcing Tx intermodulation products to fall outside the Rx channels. Cables and antennas should be of high quality construction. Solid shield heliax type cables are best, but if braided shield cables must be used for short distances, their braids must be silver-plated. Isolators should be used at all transmitter outputs. When the outputs of more than one transmitter are combined, their voltages add, and the resulting peak envelope power is not simply the sum of their powers, but is equal to the power of one of them multiplied by the square of the number of sources. Cables, components, and hardware must be rated to withstand the peak envelope power. During the commissioning process, all transmitters should be activated together using a diagnostic test tone, while the receiver RSSI is monitored. There should be no perceptible increase in RSSI while the transmitters are active. 5.5.2 Equipment Required It is beyond the scope of this manual to list every tool that an installation technician should carry. However, the following tools are specifically required for installing the base station:
Philips #2 tip screwdriver used to connect the DC power cables to the DC power terminals Pozidriv PZ3 screwdriver for the M6 screws used to secure the tray to the cabinet in Tait factory-assembled systems 8mm spanner for the M5 nut on the ground connector. You can also obtain the TBA0ST2 tool kit from your regional Tait office. It contains the basic tools needed to install, tune, and service the base station. TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 Installation 57 5.5.3 Mounting the Base Station 1. 2. 3. Fit the base station into the cabinet or rack and secure it firmly with an M6 (or 0.25in if you are using imperial fittings) screw, flat and spring washer in each of the four main mounting holes b, as shown in Figure 5.3 on page 58. The base station can be wall-mounted by rotating the front mounting brackets and fitting the optional rear brackets (TBBA03-01). When the base station is wall-mounted ensure the airflow is from bottom to top (front panel mounted down) or side to side. For transport or in installations subject to vibration, the base station should be supported at the rear using a transit bracket
(Tait recommends using the TBBA03-04 transit bracket). Figure 5.3 Base station mounting points c D b b main mounting holes c base station d DC power connector f E e ground point f rack frame Cabling We recommend that you route all cables to and from the base station along the side of the cabinet so the cooling airflow is not restricted. Cables should be well supported so that the connectors or terminals on the base station and on the ends of the cables do not have to support the full weight of the cables. Cables must be routed so that they do not restrict the air outlets at the rear of the base station. 58 Installation TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 5.6 Connecting Up the Base Station This section provides information relevant to the task of connecting up the various inputs and outputs of the base station. 5.6.1 Connection Overview External connections are all located at the rear of the base station. These are identified in Figure 5.4. Figure 5.4 Base station inputs and outputs b c d e f g h i j b ground connector c system interface connector d Ethernet interface connector e RF input f serial RS-232 connector g RF output h VDC input i +VDC input j external reference frequency input TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 Installation 59 5.6.2 Connecting DC Power The base station is designed to accept a nominal 13.8V DC, with negative ground. Notice Any mains power supply used to power the base station is required to meet the isolation separation for reinforced insulation of 3000Vrms or 4242VDC. The DC power connector at the rear of the base station is a heavy-duty M4 screw terminal connector suitable for many forms of connection. Pin Signal Name Signal Type Notes 1 2 external view 1 2 13.8VDC ground input input You must connect the DC supply from the battery to the base station via a readily accessible disconnect device such as a fuse or DC-rated circuit breaker with the appropriate rating, as shown in the table below. The DC input leads should be of a suitable gauge to ensure less than 0.2V drop at maximum load over the required length of lead. Use only flexible copper cables. Nominal Supply Voltage Input Voltage Range Circuit Breaker/
Fuse Rating Recommended Wire Gaugea 13.8VDC 11VDC to 14.4VDC 20A 12AWG / 3.3mm2 a. For a length of 1.5m to 2m (5ft to 6.5ft) (typical). Terminate the DC input leads with a suitable crimp connector for attaching to the M4 screws of the DC power connector. 60 Installation TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 5.6.3 Connecting RF Notice Do not remove the load from the base station while it is trans-
mitting as this may damage the PA output stage. Before disconnecting any RF cables, put the base station into Offline mode to prevent any transmissions. The RF input to the base station is via the marked BNC connector on the rear panel. The RF output is via the N-type connector on the rear panel
(refer to Figure 5.4 on page 59). Cables and antennas should be of high quality construction. Solid shield heliax type cables are best, but if braided shield cables must be used for short distances, their braids must be silver-plated. Recommendations for Installing the Base Station We recommend the following installation procedures, which should protect the PA from damage under all but the most extreme operating conditions. 1. 2. 3. Do not connect the base station directly to the antenna. Fit an isolator or duplexer between the base station and the load. Fit the isolator as close as possible to the RF output connector on the base station. Do not connect any switching equipment between the isolator and the base station, unless the switch cannot operate while there is RF pres-
ent (i.e. the base station is transmitting). Fit a surge suppressor to the antenna cabling where it enters the building. Inspect all cables and equipment connected to the base station for defects. Ice on the antenna, or a broken antenna, is unlikely to cause damage to the PA. The circuit design of the PA protects the circuitry from high VSWR. This makes it difficult to damage the RF power device by keying the PA into a mismatched load, or if the load deteriorates over even a short period of time
(milliseconds). However, it is possible to damage the device if all the following conditions happen at the same time:
there is a step change in the PA load (for example, the load is removed) the PA is transmitting the feed line loss between the PA and the mismatch is <1dB. The effect of such conditions is variable: some devices will not be destroyed, and some may fail after repeated load interruptions. Explanation TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 Installation 61 5.6.4 Connecting an External Frequency Reference An external reference frequency is not normally required for B band. However, an external reference can be used when you need to maximize the range of the base station. The external reference frequency can be 10MHz or 12.8MHz, with an input level of 300mVpp to 5Vpp. The stability of this reference should be better than 100 parts per billion. The base station automatically detects the frequency of the external reference and configures itself accordingly. If an external reference is required, enable the external reference Absent alarm (Configure > Alarms > Control). Use a 50 coaxial cable (RG58 or RG223) to connect the external reference to the base stations external reference frequency input. You can daisy-chain up to eight base stations using T-junctions. The maximum overall cable length is 30m. Terminate the last connection (including single base stations) with a 50 load. Figure 5.5 Daisy-chaining an external frequency reference input maximum overall cable length is 30m maximum of eight base station loads on one frequency reference output 50 termination
(also needed for single base stations) 5.6.5 Ethernet Connection The RJ-45 socket on the rear panel provides the 10BASE-T or 100BASE-T Ethernet connection to the other devices in the network. Use Cat-5 cable to connect this socket to the radio communications network via a router or switch. If necessary, refer to Ethernet Connector on page 69 for a list of Ethernet connection pin allocations. 62 Installation TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 5.6.6 Connecting General Purpose Inputs and Outputs The base station has a number of general purpose inputs and outputs. These are connected via the 25-way D-range on the rear panel. The pin allocations for the D-range connector are given in the following table.

However, performing regular checks will prolong the life of the equipment and prevent problems from happening. It is beyond the scope of this manual to list every check that you should perform on your base station. The type and frequency of maintenance checks will depend on the location and type of your system. The checks and procedures listed below can be used as a starting point for your maintenance schedule. We suggest you monitor the following operational parameters using the web interface:
VSWR any temperature alarms. These basic checks will provide an overview of how well your base station is operating. We recommend that you calibrate the base station after three months of operation, and then every three years for B-band base stations. The calibration procedure is described in the Help (Calibrate > Calibrate >
Internal reference), and requires a calibrated frequency generator - a GPS-derived frequency reference is recommended. We suggest that you periodically check that the screws on the DC input terminals are tightened to the recommended torque of 1820lbfin
(22.25Nm). They may work loose with thermal cycling. Also, if you are using battery back-up, you should check the batteries regularly in accordance with the manufacturers recommendations. The base station has been designed to have a front-to-back cooling airflow. We strongly recommend that you periodically check and maintain the ventilation requirements described in Equipment Ventilation on page 47 to ensure a long life and trouble-free operation for your base station. Also check for a build-up of dust in and around the front panel air intakes and fan ducts. Performance Checks Calibration DC Input Ventilation Cooling Fans The cooling fans have a long service life and have no special maintenance requirements.

If there is a conflict between the terms and conditions of this Agreement and the terms and conditions of the any applicable Open Source Software Licenses, the terms and conditions of the Open Source Software Licenses will take precedence. For information about Open Source Components contained in Tait products and the related Open Source licenses, see:
http://support.taitradio.com/go/opensource Section 4 LIMITATIONS ON USE 4.1. Licensee may use the Software only for Licensee's internal business purposes and only in accordance with the Documentation. Any other use of the Software is strictly prohibited. Without limiting the general nature of these restrictions, Licensee will not make the Software available for use by third parties on a "time sharing,"
"application service provider," "service bureau"
basis, or for any other similar commercial rental or sharing arrangement. 4.2. Licensee will not, and will not directly or indirectly allow or enable any third party to: (i) reverse engineer, disassemble, extract compo-
nents, decompile, reprogram, or otherwise reduce the Software or any portion thereof to a human perceptible form or otherwise attempt to recreate the source code; (ii) modify, adapt, cre-
ate derivative works of, or merge the Software;
(iii) copy, reproduce, distribute, lend, or lease the Software or Documentation to any third party;
(iv) grant any sublicense or other rights in the Software or Documentation to any third party;
(v) take any action that would cause the Software or Documentation to be placed in the public domain; (vi) remove, or in any way alter or obscure any copyright notice or other notice of Tait or third-party licensors proprietary rights;
(vii) provide, copy, transmit, disclose, divulge or make the Software or Documentation available to, or permit the use of the Software by, any third party or on any machine except as expressly authorized by this Agreement; or (viii) use, or permit the use of, the Software in a manner that would result in the production of a copy of the Software by any means whatsoever other than what is permitted in this Agreement. Licensee may make one copy of the Software to be used solely for archival, back-up, or disaster recovery purposes; provided that Licensee may not oper-
ate that copy of the Software at the same time as the original Software is being operated. Licensee may make as many copies of the Documentation as it may reasonably require for the internal use of the Software. 4.3. Unless otherwise authorized by Tait in writ-
ing, Licensee will not, and will not enable or allow any third party to: (i) install a copy of the 82 reasonable prior notice Software on more than one unit of a Designated Product; or (ii) copy or transfer Software installed on one unit of a Designated Product to any other device. Licensee may temporarily transfer Software installed on a Designated Prod-
uct to another device if the Designated Product is inoperable or malfunctioning. Temporary trans-
fer of the Software to another device must be dis-
continued when the original Designated Product is returned to operation and the Software must be removed from the other device. 4.4. Licensee will maintain, during the term of this Agreement and for a period of two years thereafter, accurate records relating to this license grant to verify compliance with this Agreement. Tait, or a third party nominated by Tait, may inspect Licensees premises, books and records, upon to Licensee, during Licensees normal business hours and subject to Licensee's facility and secu-
rity regulations. Tait is responsible for the pay-
ment of all expenses and costs of the inspection, provided that Licensee shall indemnify Tait for all costs (including audit costs and legal costs on a solicitor client basis) if Licensee has breached the terms of this Agreement. Any information obtained by Tait during the course of the inspec-
tion will be kept in strict confidence by Tait and used solely for the purpose of verifying Licensee's compliance with the terms of this Agreement. Section 5 OWNERSHIP AND TITLE Tait, its licensors, and its suppliers retain all of their Intellectual Property Rights in and to the Software and Documentation, in any form. No rights are granted to Licensee under this Agree-
ment by implication, estoppel or otherwise, except for those rights which are expressly granted to Licensee in this Agreement. All Intel-
lectual Property developed, originated, or pre-
pared by Tait in connection with providing the Software, Designated Products, Documentation, or related services, remains vested exclusively in Tait, and Licensee will not have any shared development or other Intellectual Property Rights. Section 6 LIMITED WARRANTY;
DISCLAIMER OF WARRANTY 6.1. The commencement date and the term of the Software warranty will be a period of one (1) year from Tait shipment of the Software. If Licensee is not in breach of any obligations under this Agreement, Tait warrants that the unmodi-
fied Software, when used properly and in accor-
dance with the Documentation and this Agree-
ment, will be free from a reproducible defect that eliminates the functionality or successful opera-
tion of a feature critical to the primary function-
ality or successful operation of the Software. Whether a defect has occurred will be deter-
mined solely by Tait. Tait does not warrant that Licensees use of the Software or the Designated Products will be uninterrupted, error-free, com-
pletely free of Security Vulnerabilities, or that the Software or the Designated Products will meet Licensees particular requirements. Tait makes TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 no representations or warranties with respect to any third-party software included in the Soft-
ware. 6.2 Tait sole obligation to Licensee, and Licensees exclusive remedy under this warranty, is to use reasonable efforts to remedy any mate-
rial Software defect covered by this warranty. These efforts will involve either replacing the media or attempting to correct significant, demonstrable program or documentation errors or Security Vulnerabilities. If Tait cannot correct the defect within a reasonable time, then at Tait option, Tait will replace the defective Software with functionally equivalent Software, license to Licensee substitute Software which will accom-
plish the same objective, or terminate the license and refund Licensees paid license fee. If Tait investigation of the perceived defect reveals that no such defect in fact exists, Tait may recover its costs in respect of such investigation from Licensee. 6.3. Tait disclaims any and all other warranties relating to the Software or Documentation other than the express warranties set forth in this Sec-
tion 6. Warranties in Section 6 are in lieu of all other warranties whether express or implied, oral or written, and including without limitation any and all implied warranties of condition, title, non-infringement, merchantability, or fitness for a particular purpose or use by Licensee (whether Tait knows, has reason to know, has been advised of, or is otherwise aware of any such purpose or use), whether arising by law, by reason of custom or usage of trade, or by course of dealing. In addi-
tion, Tait disclaims any warranty to any person other than Licensee with respect to the Software or Documentation. Section 7 TRANSFERS 7.1. Licensee will not transfer the Software or Documentation to any third party without spe-
cific prior written consent from Tait. Tait may withhold such consent or at its own discretion make the consent conditional upon the transferee paying applicable license fees and agreeing to be bound by this Agreement. 7.2. In the case of a value-added reseller or dis-
tributor of Tait Designated Products, the consent referred to in Section 7.1 may be contained in a Tait Reseller or Tait Distributor Agreement. 7.3. If the Designated Products are Tait vehicle-
mounted mobile products or hand-carried porta-
ble radio products and Licensee transfers owner-
ship of the Tait mobile or portable radio products to a third party, Licensee may assign its right to use the Software which is embedded in or fur-
nished for use with the radio products and the related Documentation; provided that Licensee transfers all copies of the Software and Docu-
mentation to the transferee. 7.4. For the avoidance of any doubt, Section 7.3 excludes TaitNet Infrastructure, or the products listed at any time under network products at:
http://www.taitradio.com. 7.5. If Licensee, as a contractor or subcontractor
(integrator), is purchasing Tait Designated Prod-
ucts and licensing Software not for its own inter-
nal use but for end use only by a Customer, the TB7300 Installation and Operation Manual Tait Limited December 2015 Licensee may transfer such Software, but only if a) Licensee transfers all copies of such Software and the related Documentation to the transferee and b) Licensee has first obtained from its Cus-
tomer (and, if Licensee is acting as a subcontrac-
tor, from the interim transferee(s) and from the ultimate end user sub license) an enforceable sublicense agreement that prohibits any other transfer and that contains restrictions substan-
tially identical to the terms set forth in this Soft-
ware License Agreement. Except as stated in the foregoing, Licensee and any transferee(s) autho-
rised by this Section may not otherwise transfer or make available any Tait Software to any third party nor permit any party to do so. Licensee will, on request, make available evidence reason-
ably satisfactory to Tait demonstrating compli-
ance with all the foregoing. Section 8 TERM AND TERMINATION 8.1. Licensees right to use the Software and Documentation will commence when the Desig-
nated Products are supplied by Tait to Licensee and will continue for the life of the Designated Products with which or for which the Software and Documentation are supplied, unless Licensee breaches this Agreement, in which case this Agreement and Licensee's right to use the Software and Documentation may be terminated immediately upon notice by Tait. 8.2. Within thirty (30) days after termination of this Agreement, Licensee must certify in writing to Tait that all copies of the Software have been removed or deleted from the Designated Prod-
ucts and that all copies of the Software and Doc-
umentation have been returned to Tait or destroyed by Licensee and are no longer in use by Licensee. 8.3. Licensee acknowledges that Tait made a considerable investment of resources in the development, marketing, and distribution of the Software and Documentation and that Licensee's breach of this Agreement will result in irrepara-
ble harm to Tait for which monetary damages would be inadequate. If Licensee breaches this Agreement, Tait may terminate this Agreement and be entitled to all available remedies at law or in equity including immediate injunctive relief and repossession of all non-embedded Software and associated Documentation. Licensee shall pay all Tait costs (on an indemnity basis) for the enforcement of the terms of this Agreement. Section 9 CONFIDENTIALITY Licensee acknowledges that the Software and Documentation contain proprietary and Confi-
dential Information valuable to Tait and are Tait trade secrets, and Licensee agrees to respect the confidentiality of the information contained in the Software and Documentation. Section 10 LIMITATION OF LIABILITY 10.1. In no circumstances shall Tait be under any liability to Licensee, or any other person whatso-
ever, whether in Tort (including negligence), Contract (except as expressly provided in this Agreement), Equity, under any Statute, or other-
wise at law for any losses or damages whether general, special, exemplary, punitive, direct, 83 indirect, or consequential arising out of or in con-
nection with any use or inability of using the Software. 10.2. Licensees sole remedy against Tait will be limited to breach of contract and Tait sole and total liability for any such claim shall be limited at the option of Tait to the repair or replacement of the Software or the refund of the purchase price of the Software. Section 11 GENERAL 11.1. COPYRIGHT NOTICES. The existence of a copyright notice on the Software will not be construed as an admission or presumption of publication of the Software or public disclosure of any trade secrets associated with the Software. 11.2. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS. Licensee acknowledges that the Software may be subject to the laws and regulations of the jurisdiction covering the supply of the Designated Products and will comply with all applicable laws and reg-
ulations, including export laws and regulations, of that country. 11.3. ASSIGNMENTS AND SUBCONTRACT-
ING. Tait may assign its rights or subcontract its obligations under this Agreement, or encumber or sell its rights in any Software, without prior notice to, or consent of, Licensee. 11.4. GOVERNING LAW. This Agreement shall be subject to and construed in accordance with New Zealand law and disputes between the par-
ties concerning the provisions hereof shall be determined by the New Zealand Courts of Law. Provided however Tait may at its election bring proceedings for breach of the terms hereof or for the enforcement of any judgment in relation to a breach of the terms hereof in any jurisdiction Tait considers fit for the purpose of ensuring compli-
ance with the terms hereof or obtaining relief for breach of the terms hereof. 11.5. THIRD-PARTY BENEFICIARIES. This Agreement is entered into solely for the benefit of Tait and Licensee. No third party has the right to make any claim or assert any right under this Agreement, and no third party is deemed a bene-
ficiary of this Agreement. Notwithstanding the foregoing, any licensor or supplier of third-party software included in the Software will be a direct and intended third-party beneficiary of this Agreement. 11.6. SURVIVAL. Sections 4, 5, 6.3, 7, 8, 9, 10, and 11 survive the termination of this Agree-
ment. 11.7. ORDER OF PRECEDENCE. In the event of inconsistencies between this Agreement and any other Agreement between the parties, the parties agree that, with respect to the specific subject matter of this Agreement, this Agreement prevails. 11.8. SECURITY. Tait uses reasonable means in the design and writing of its own Software and the acquisition of third-party Software in order to limit Security Vulnerabilities. While no software can be guaranteed to be free from Security Vul-
nerabilities, if a Security Vulnerability is discov-
ered, Tait will take the steps specified in Section 6 of this Agreement. 11.9. EXPORT. Licensee will not transfer, 84 directly or indirectly, any Designated Product, Documentation or Software furnished hereunder or the direct product of such Documentation or Software to any country for which New Zealand or any other applicable country requires an export license or other governmental approval without first obtaining such license or approval. 11.10. SEVERABILITY. In the event that any part or parts of this Agreement shall be held ille-
gal or null and void by any court or administra-
tive body of competent jurisdiction, such deter-
mination shall not affect the remaining terms which shall remain in full force and effect as if such part or parts held to be illegal or void had not been included in this Agreement. Tait may replace the invalid or unenforceable provision with a valid and enforceable provision that achieves the original intent and economic effect of this Agreement. 11.11. CONSUMER GUARANTEES. Licensee acknowledges that the licenses supplied in terms of this agreement are supplied to Licensee in business, and that the guarantees and other provi-
sions of prevailing consumer protection legisla-
tion shall not apply. 11.12. WHOLE AGREEMENT. Licensee acknowledges that it has read this Agreement, understands it and agrees to be bound by its terms and conditions. Licensee also agrees that, subject only to the express terms of any other agreement between Tait and Licensee to the contrary, this is the complete and exclusive statement of the Agreement between it and Tait in relation to the Software. This Agreement supersedes any pro-
posal or prior agreement, oral or written, and any other communications between Licensee and Tait relating to the Software and the Designated Products.
