If the input voltage to the Base Station drops to 13V or lower, the fan voltage will slump below 12V. This is normal due to the voltage drop through the buck switching power supply on the Controller Board. The fans may spin slower but they will not be harmed by the lower voltage. 6.7 ROUTING TABLE Static routes may be created from the Routing Table webpage. The static routes will appear in the table at the bottom of the screen. Static Routing refers to a manual method used to set up routing between networks. Figure 27 ‐ Routing Table Web Page
24. 24 | Page Step 4: The Controller Board can be programmed to periodically send out a ping to a remote site to verify the RF link is still working. To enable the ping utility, enter a Primary Ping IP Address and, if desired, a Secondary Ping IP Address. These IP addresses should be remote radios that are located one hop from the Base Station. Next, set the Ping Timer as desired. When the Ping Timer expires the Base Station Controller will attempt to ping either the Primary or Secondary IP Address. If the ping is unsuccessful, the base station will switch to the back ‐ up radio. To disable the ping, set the Ping Timer to 0. When satisfied with the changes, click “ Next ”. Figure 18 ‐ Redundant Base Station Setup Wizard 3 Step 5: If the Phantom IIs are setup in Bridge Mode, click “ Next ”. If the Phantom IIs are setup in Router mode and the Ping Timer is enabled, you must program in static IP routes in order for the Base Station Ping Utility to work correctly. Program in static routes for the Primary and Secondary IP Ping Addresses entered on the previous page. When all of the routes have been entered, click “ Next ”.
58. 58 | Page 6.15.1.5 BOOT DELAY The Base Station Controller will wait the specified number of minutes after booting up a radio before attempting to ping.

17. 17 | Page 2.1.4 VERTICAL DIPOLES Vertical dipoles are very often mounted in pairs, or sometimes groups of 3 or 4, to achieve even coverage and to increase gain. The vertical collinear antenna usually consists of several elements stacked one above the other to achieve similar results. Figure 8 ‐ Antenna Types Omni (Vertical Collinear) Yagi Vertical Dipole 2.1.5 RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS The Phantom II Base Station is intended for use in the Industrial Monitoring and Control and SCADA markets. The Phantom II Base Station must be professionally installed and must ensure a minimum separation distance between the radiating structure and any person. See the individual radio user manuals for a listing of the minimum safety distance. Figure 9 ‐ RF Exposure Compliance Minimum Safety Distances Reference Radio User Manual Part Number Phantom II 001 ‐ 5199 ‐ 200 The Phantom II Base Station uses a low power radio frequency transmitter. The concentrated energy from an antenna may pose a health hazard. People should not be in front of the antenna when the transmitter is operating. The installer of this equipment must ensure the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit an RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population. Recommended safety guidelines for the human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy are contained in the Canadian Safety Code 6 (available from Health Canada) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Bulletin 65. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance (in the country where used) could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. MAXIMUM EIRP FCC Regulations allow up to 36dBm Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP). Therefore, the sum of the transmitted power (in dBm), the cabling loss and the antenna gain cannot exceed 36dBm.

6. 6 | Page 1.0 BASE STATION OVERVIEW This document provides information required for the operation of the Phantom II Base Station. The information in this manual makes the assumption the user’s PC has an NIC (Network Interface Card) with TCP/IP implemented. Setup requires the knowledge and authorization to modify the TCP/IP settings for the NIC. Changing or installing new IP addresses in a network can cause serious network problems. If you have any questions or concerns, contact the Network Administrator for your system. 1.1 GENERAL DESCRIPTION The Phantom II Base Station is available in three options: standard, repeater, and redundant. The Standard Base Station uses a single radio to transmit and receive data from remote radios. The Repeater Base Station uses two radios connected back to back to extend the range of a signal. The Redundant Base Station uses two radios, activating only one at a time, in order to provide a fail ‐ safe in the event of a radio failure. The Phantom II Base Station has a main controller PC board which is accessible via HTML web pages. Access the Controller’s web pages to configure the user programmable settings and to view the status of the Base Station. Rugged Packaging. The Phantom II Base Station is housed in a rugged, 19” rack mountable, aluminum case. Built for industrial applications in a variety of environments, the Phantom II Base Station operates over an extended temperature range and provides worry ‐ free operation in the roughest environments. Simple Installation. Basic installation typically utilizes an omni ‐ directional antenna at the Phantom II Base Station or Relay Point and a directional antenna at each remote site that is not a Relay Point. See Section 2 for information on Site and Antenna Selection. For basic service, just hook up an antenna, connect your Ethernet LAN to the Base Station’s LAN port, apply primary power, and check and set operating parameters. Flexible Management. Configuration, commissioning, maintenance and troubleshooting can be done locally or remotely. All operating parameters can be set via a web browser.

Max Rate: Sets the maximum data rate allowed by the QoS module (in kilobits per second). Default Queue: Sets the queue through which all traffic will flow unless otherwise filtered. If no queue is selected, then unfiltered traffic will bypass the QoS module. When changes are made to the QoS Basic Configuration, the Save button must be pressed for the changes to take effect. 6.9.2 QOS QUEUE CONFIGURATION The QoS contains five queues, which can each be configured independently to throttle traffic to different rates. Enable: Check "Enable" to use the queue. Rate: Sets the guaranteed rate at which traffic flows through the queue. The sum of this value for all enabled queues cannot exceed the Max Rate set in the QoS Basic Configuration. Ceiling: Sets the maximum rate that traffic can flow through the queue. This value cannot be set higher than the Max Rate set in the QoS Basic Configuration for any individual queue. Buffer Size: Sets how many packets can be queued up in the queue. If this buffer is exceeded the packets will be dropped. When changes are made to the QoS Queue Configuration, the Save button must be pressed for the changes to take effect. 6.9.3 FILTER Filters can be configured to route traffic to specific queues.

26. 26 | Page 4.0 BASE STATION OVERVIEW 4.1 PHANTOM II STANDARD BASE STATION OVERVIEW The Standard Base Station consists of one Phantom II in a 19” rack mount enclosure. The Standard Base Station features two 10/100 BaseT Auto ‐ MDIX Ethernet connections and an I/O Port which can be controlled or monitored from the Base Station Controller’s web pages. Both external Ethernet connections are connected with an embedded Ethernet switch to the radio. The Standard Base Station provides access to the Diagnostic, Data, and RS485/422 ports of the Phantom II. 4.2 PHANTOM II REDUNDANT BASE STATION OVERVIEW The Redundant Base Station has two Phantom IIs with identical RF and Ethernet MAC addresses, a Controller board, and an RF antenna relay inside the 19” rack mount chassis. The Redundant Base Station features two 10/100 BaseT Auto ‐ MDIX Ethernet connections and an I/O Port which can be controlled or monitored from the Base Station Controller’s web pages. Both external Ethernet connections are connected with an embedded Ethernet switch to the radios. The Base Station provides connections to the Diagnostic port, Data port, and the RS485/422 port of the active Phantom II. The Ethernet, Diagnostic, Data, and RS485/422 ports are automatically routed by the Controller Board to whichever Phantom II is currently in use. 4.2.1 PHANTOM II FAILURE DETECTION The Controller Board has a microprocessor that is continually monitoring the status of the active Phantom II via an Ethernet connection. If enabled, the Controller Board also has the ability to send out a ping to a remote unit periodically to verify the active Phantom II is still capable of transmitting and receiving data. 4.2.1.1 MONITOR PHANTOM II WITH ETHERNET CONNECTION The Controller Board will attempt to establish a telnet connection to the Phantom II currently in use. The user must tell the Controller Board the correct IP address, user name and password of the Phantom II so the Controller Board can establish a telnet connection. This information must be entered into the Base Station Controller Board’s Radio Settings web page. Once the telnet connection has been established the Controller Board will periodically monitor the temperature in the Phantom II and flag an error is temperature exceeds the maximum threshold as listed in the Table 7 below. The Controller Board will also verify the radio’s Ethernet interface is still operational. If a telnet connection cannot be established or the Phantom II fails to respond to a diagnostic query, the Base Station will flag an error and switch to the backup radio.
16. 16 | Page 2.0 SYSTEM ARCHITECTURE AND PLANNING 2.1 SELECTING ANTENNA AND FEEDLINE The Phantom II Base Station can be used with a variety of antenna types. The exact style used depends on the physical size and layout of a system. 2.1.1 ANTENNA GAIN Antenna gain is usually measured in comparison to a dipole. A dipole acts much like the filament of a flashlight bulb: it radiates energy in almost all directions. One bulb like this would provide very dim room lighting. Add a reflector capable of concentrating all the energy into a narrow angle of radiation and you have a flashlight. Within that bright spot on the wall, the light might be a thousand times greater than it would be without the reflector. The resulting bulb ‐ reflector combination has a gain of 1000, or 30 dB, compared to the bulb alone. Gain can be achieved by concentrating the energy both vertically and horizontally, as in the case of the flashlight and Yagi antenna. Gain can be also be achieved by reducing the vertical angle of radiation, leaving the horizontal alone. In this case, the antenna will radiate equally in all horizontal directions, but will take energy that otherwise would have gone skywards and use it to increase the horizontal radiation. The required antenna impedance is 50 ohms. To reduce potential radio interference, the antenna type and its gain should be chosen to ensure the effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) is not more than required for successful communication. See Table 5 for a list of tested antenna recommendations. Similar antenna types from other manufacturers are equally acceptable. It is important to follow the manufacturer’s recommended installation procedures and instructions when mounting any antenna. 2.1.2 OMNI DIRECTIONAL ANTENNA In general, an omni directional antenna should be used at a master station and at relay points. This allows equal coverage to all of the remote locations. Omni directional antennas are designed to radiate the RF signal in a 360 ‐ degree pattern around the antenna. Short range antennas such as folded dipoles and ground independent whips are used to radiate the signal in a ball shaped pattern while high gain omni antennas, such as a collinear antenna, compress the RF radiation sphere into the horizontal plane to provide a relatively flat disc shaped pattern that travels further because more of the energy is radiated in the horizontal plane. 2.1.3 YAGI ANTENNA At remote locations (not used as a relay point), a directional Yagi is generally recommended to minimize interference to and from other users.

43. 43 | Page Radio B Error Cleared A trap is generated whenever Radio B errors are cleared. Errors are cleared when the “Clear Errors” button on the Radio Settings ‐ > Diagnostics webpage is pressed, or when the Alarm On/Off button on the Base Station’s front panel is held for 5 seconds. Fan Error Detected A trap is generated when the Controller detects that either of the two fans have stopped spinning. Fan Error Cleared A trap is generated when the Controller detects that both fans are operating normally again after an error condition had occurred. Alarm Pin 1 Low to High A trap is generated whenever a low to high transition is detected on Pin 1 of the Alarm Port. Alarm Pin 1 High to Low A trap is generated whenever a high to low transition is detected on Pin 1 of the Alarm Port. Alarm Pin 5 Low to High A trap is generated whenever a low to high transition is detected on Pin 5 of the Alarm Port. Alarm Pin 5 High to Low A trap is generated whenever a high to low transition is detected on Pin 5 of the Alarm Port. Alarm Pin 7 Low to High A trap is generated whenever a low to high transition is detected on Pin 7 of the Alarm Port. Alarm Pin 7 High to Low A trap is generated whenever a high to low transition is detected on Pin 7 of the Alarm Port.

27. 27 | Page Table 7 ‐ Phantom II Error Conditions Phantom II Parameter Error Condition Radio Temperature Temperature is greater than 80C Ethernet Connection Telnet connection cannot be established Phantom II does not respond to diagnostic query 4.2.1.2 PING UTILITY When the ping timer expires the Controller Board will send a ping to a remote IP address to verify the Phantom II can both send and receive data. If the ping succeeds, the ping timer is reset and no errors are generated. If the ping response is not received within 5 seconds the Controller Board will attempt to ping the secondary IP. When the max number of retries has been reached for both the primary and secondary IP addresses the Controller Board will mark the Phantom II as bad and will switch to the backup radio. If any of the pings succeed the ping timer will be reset and no radio errors will be reported. The primary and secondary IP addresses, the ping timer, and the max number of retries can be programmed on the System Monitor ‐ > Redundant Setup web page. The Controller Board will attempt to ping the primary IP address for the max number of retries and the secondary IP addresses for the max number of retries before flagging an error. 4.2.2 WHEN A FAILURE IS DETECTED When a failure is detected and the Redundant Base Station is set to Automatic Mode, the first radio will be powered off and the backup radio will be powered on. The backup Phantom II radio requires approximately 60 seconds to boot up before being able to send and receive data. The Controller Board will immediately switch the Ethernet, SETUP, and COM connections to the newly activated Phantom II. When an error is detected, the red Error LED on the Base Station’s front panel will turn on indicating which radio (Radio A or Radio B) the fault was detected with. The Controller’s Diagnostic web page will report an error message reporting which fault occurred. If the alarm is enabled, the buzzer will sound two short chirps every 5 seconds indicating there is a failure. If programmed for automatic mode, the relays on the Alarm Port will switch indicating an error has been detected. Since both the Phantom IIs in the Base Station have identical Ethernet MAC addresses, when the radios are switched the Local Area will not notice that the Base Station has switched to the backup Phantom II. If the Base Station radio is configured for Master mode, the remote Phantom IIs will resync to the new Master quickly and data will be allowed to flow over the air, just as before. If errors are detected with both the primary and secondary radios, the Base Station Controller will try using each radio a maximum of 5 times each. After the maximum number or switches has occurred, the Base Station Controller will flash the error LED of both radios. Then the Controller will no longer attempt to switch radios. It will leave one radio powered on and will let that radio try its best to continue to transmit and receive data.

RF EXPOSURE COMPLIANCE REQUIREMENTS The Phantom II Base Station is intended for use in the Industrial Monitoring and Control and SCADA markets. The Phantom II Base Station unit must be professionally installed and must ensure a minimum separation distance between the radiating structure and any person. See the individual radio user manuals for a listing of the minimum safety distance. Radio User Manual Part Number Phantom II 001 ‐ 5199 ‐ 200 The Phantom II Base Station uses a low power radio frequency transmitter. The concentrated energy from an antenna may pose a health hazard. People should not be in front of the antenna when the transmitter is operating. The installer of this equipment must ensure the antenna is located or pointed such that it does not emit an RF field in excess of Health Canada limits for the general population. Recommended safety guidelines for the human exposure to radio frequency electromagnetic energy are contained in the Canadian Safety Code 6 (available from Health Canada) and the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) Bulletin 65. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance (in the country where used) could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. MAXIMUM EIRP FCC Regulations allow up to 36dBm Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP). Therefore, the sum of the transmitted power (in dBm), the cabling loss and the antenna gain cannot exceed 36dBm.

46. 46 | Page Destination Port: Enter the destination port to match. Leave as 0 to ignore the destination port. DSCP: Select the differentiated services code point to match. Protocol: IP traffic can be filtered by protocol. Select the protocol to match: TCP, UDP, ICMP, or all protocols. If TCP is selected the ACKs checkbox is enabled. Checking this box creates a filter that matches TCP Acks only. Unchecking this box creates a filter that matches all types of TCP traffic. Queue: Sets the queue that traffic matching the filter will go into. 6.9.4 FILTER TABLE The filter table displays a list of all filters that have been created. Filters that are currently enabled will be shown in bold. A filter is disabled if it is associated with a disabled queue. Traffic will be checked against each filter in this table starting at the top and working towards the bottom. Once a packet is found to match a given filter, the packet is placed into the specified queue. When a packet is found to match a given filter, filter comparison stops and filters further down the table are ignored. When the next packet is received the process starts over from the top of the table. Click the up or down arrows to move a filter in the list. Click "X" to delete a filter or Delete All to remove all the filters. New filters will be added to the bottom of this list. SETUP TIPS Only traffic from the LAN to the radio network will be throttled. Packets are prioritized and buffered in the Base Station controller, not in the radio. When packets are released from the QoS module they are sent to the radio. In order to properly throttle traffic, the QoS module must be the slowest point in your system. When the QoS rates are set too high, the radio system may not be able to keep up. In this scenario traffic will be backed up at the radio interface, waiting for the RF channel to free up. When a waiting line of packets forms at the radio’s RF interface, the user’s high priority traffic will not be allowed to jump to the front of the line and will be delayed. To ensure that high priority traffic is in fact given a high priority, the rates set in the QoS module must be the limiting point in the network. Many factors, such as packet size, network topology, radio collision avoidance settings, very low RF signal levels and over the air data rate, will have an effect on the overall throughput of your system. The outgoing throughput of your system can be measured by setting up the desired filters and setting all the QoS rates very high. Next, allow the system to run for a while. The QoS module will not throttle traffic since the rates are set very high. After enough time has elapsed to build a representative traffic profile, check the QoS Statistics web page (detailed below) and observe the unthrottled Rate reported for each queue. This can be helpful information to have when setting up the QoS rules for the initial trials. For example, to increase the amount of bandwidth available for high priority traffic, low priority traffic must be throttled to rates slower than those measured during this initial test. Actual radio throughput can sometimes be optimized depending on the network topology and characteristics of traffic being transmitted over the air. Collision avoidance techniques, RF back off algorithms, RF Acks/RF retries are not needed in all networks. While all of these features have definite benefits in certain situations they can also slow throughput. These settings can sometimes be optimized to yield a greater throughput. See the radio’s user manual or contact CalAmp technical services for more details.
