RF-Baton! Transmitter Controller Installation and Operation System Description The RF-C! Controller The RF-C! controller is the messaging system controller for the transmitters and receivers in a region. The RF-C! controller routes voice and text messages from the WMG-Administrator! to the appropriate transmitters through the transmitter controllers and returns responses from the RF-A! receivers to the WMG-Administrator!.
System Description RF-Baton! Transmitter Controller Installation and Operation Communicators Communicators are miniature radios that accept messages from the paging station. ReFLEX protocol communicators receive numeric or alphanumeric messages. InFLEXion communicators receive voice messages. Both ReFLEX and InFLEXion communicators provide return acknowledgments when the message is accurately received and when the subscriber accesses the message.
RF-Baton! Transmitter Controller Installation and Operation System Description FLEX, ReFLEX and InFLEXion Messaging Protocol Overview The delivery of advanced messaging is augmented by a family of new Motorola over-the-air (OTA) message protocols. The FLEX messaging protocol provides one-way text messaging, and the InFLEXion messaging protocol provides two-way voice and data messaging.
System Description RF-Baton! Transmitter Controller Installation and Operation Reviewing Responses The system provides the following two ways for the message sender to review the response: • Call Query—The message sender can call back to the system at a later time and use the transaction ID to retrieve the response. • Auto MESSAGE—If the message sender is also a subscriber in the system, the system can be instructed to send the response directly to the message sender’s communicator.
RF-Baton! Transmitter Controller Installation and Operation System Description • In many cases, a voice message does not require a return call because more detail can be conveyed in a voice message. • Language independence is achieved because the message flows from the caller to the subscriber, thus negating the need for translation.

RF-Baton! Transmitter Controller Installation and Operation / Chapter 3 Preinstallation 3 Site Considerations Because the RF-B! transmitter controller is typically installed into an existing cabinet, ensure that the site has been prepared appropriately. To verify that proper site considerations and recommendations are being followed, refer to the Motorola Quality Standards - Fixed Network Equipment (FNE) Installation Manual R56 (Motorola Part No.
Preinstallation RF-Baton! Transmitter Controller Installation and Operation Environmental Considerations Extreme temperatures can cause permanent damage and reduce the life span of electronic equipment. In addition, extreme temperature swings occurring over a short period of time can significantly affect the paging station simulcast capabilities. To combat temperature problems, Motorola recommends a thermostatically controlled Heating, Ventilation, Air-Conditioning (HVAC) system.
RF-Baton! Transmitter Controller Installation and Operation Preinstallation Antenna Considerations If the RF-B! transmitter controller contains an optional Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver, the receiver must locate and track at least four satellites during initial power-up. After power-up, the receiver tracks three satellite to maintain the timing signal.
Preinstallation RF-Baton! Transmitter Controller Installation and Operation The GPS receiver must be able to achieve the following performance requirements: • Track a minimum of four satellites for GPS receiver initialization that occurs after any loss of power to the GPS receiver or any time the GPS almanac is cleared. Note: Loss of power to the BCM does not imply loss of power to the GPS receiver. • Maintain track on at least three satellites after GPS receiver initialization is complete.
RF-Baton! Transmitter Controller Installation and Operation Preinstallation The maximum allowable cable loss between the GPS antenna and the RF-B! transmitter controller is 6 dB. The maximum cable loss includes additional considerations, such as line-of-sight loss and minimum satellite power during satellite acquisition. The total line-of-sight loss (7 dB) includes foliage loss (for example, low density tree tops, 6 dB) and ice loss (1 dB).
Preinstallation RF-Baton! Transmitter Controller Installation and Operation Grounding The RF-B! transmitter controller connects to the main cabinet ground through the cabinet chassis rail (see Figure 3-1).

RF-Baton! Transmitter Controller Installation and Operation Operation Reset and Initialization The RF-B! transmitter controller operation has three different types of resets. This section explains the differences between the available reset types. Motorola encourages a thorough understanding of each reset type to minimize the station down time when a reset is necessary.
Operation RF-Baton! Transmitter Controller Installation and Operation At this point in the power-on reset cycle, FIPS communication with the RF-B! transmitter controller is available. A complete power-on reset takes approximately 15 to 20 minutes, the majority of the time performing GPS acquisition and lock. After the GPS receiver has acquired lock, the front panel GPS lock LED lights and simulcast initialization completes the reset cycle.
RF-Baton! Transmitter Controller Installation and Operation Operation A hard reset of the RF-B! transmitter controller differs from a power-on reset only in the handling of GPS initialization. After a hard reset has occurred, the RF-B! transmitter controller control software checks the operational status of the GPS receiver to determine if a complete acquisition and lock is necessary. During a typical hard reset, a complete GPS receiver initialization is not necessary.
Operation RF-Baton! Transmitter Controller Installation and Operation Operation Modes The RF-B! transmitter controller has three operation modes: • Normal paging mode • Trace mode • Test-data mode Note: The trace mode, and test-data mode are test modes that can interfere with normal transmitter operation. These modes are for advanced diagnostics only and may require assistance from a Motorola service representative.
RF-Baton! Transmitter Controller Installation and Operation Operation Trace Mode The trace mode is ordinarily used to verify operation or debug the station by echoing data from various test points in the system to the FIPS display. For more information about the available developer implemented traces, refer to Appendix E. Note: Notify the control center before initiating a trace. Some trace modes affect station performance and can cause loss of distribution data due to extra processing delays.
Operation RF-Baton! Transmitter Controller Installation and Operation Test Data Mode Test data transmission mode is usually used to test the RF path and performance of the connected transmitter. While in this mode, the RF-B! transmitter controller generates test data that is transmitted to the transmitter. The contents of the test message data is determined by the user. Before initiating a test mode, ensure that the transmitter is connected properly and the distribution network has been disconnected.
