Question   What do the modes of operation support?   Answer   The IP-223 is capable of six different modes of operation.  Here are some explanations to help you understand the basics of how each mode works: Console Mode - Console mode is used to adapt an analog, tone controlled console so that it's signaling and voice audio can be transported across an IP network.  At the far end (radio end) of the network, a second IP-223 converts the data back into analog voice and regenerates the analog MSK tones.  The radio end IP-223 (in Tone Mode) can control a tone remote adapter panel, or tone controlled radio.  The radio end IP-223 is also capable of controlling a radio locally.  (See more on Local and Tone modes below)  The Console Mode IP-223 also converts receive packets back into analog audio for the receive side of the console radio traffic. Note: Console mode also supports E&M input logic to generate remote radio keying when control tones are not present.  Tone Mode - A Tone Mode IP-223 normally controls a radio at the remote end of the network.  It receives data from the network that originates from IP console or an analog tone generating device, such as a legacy console connected to an IP-223 in Console mode.  The IP-223 at the radio end of the system converts the digital IP information back into voice and tone signaling, which drives a tone remote adapter, or tone controlled radio.  Receive audio is also sent back to the console in a similar manner. Local Mode -  This mode is normally used at the radio (remote) end of the system and controls the radio with PTT, COR, TX and RX audio, via a direct connection to the radio auxiliary connector.  In some systems, channel control is used via the IP-223 BCD logic or by using serial control methods. Phone Mode - Phone Mode allows the IP-223 to interface to a POTS line via a Telex TDI adapter.  It allows basic telephone line functions to be provided through a C-Soft console. iDEN Mode - iDEN mode allows the IP-223 to interface with a Falcon class POC (Push to Talk over Cellular) mobile phone system.  An NI-223+ is required to interface the radio handset with the IP-223.  The radio can be operated as a cellular phone, or POC phone. TETRA Mode - TETRA Radio Mode Tetra Radio Mode allows interface to the Sepura SRM-2000/3500 mobile radio.  Similar to the iDEN Mode, the TETRA radio can be operated as a POC mobile, or cellular phone.             © Copyright Bosch Security Systems All rights reserved.

Question   How do I change Zones/Channels on a Kenwood radio with Telex Dispatch products?   Answer   The Telex consoles do not have the ability to directly change zones on a radio, this would be done in either the IP-223 or IP-224. The frequency you select on the console would correspond to the F-Tone on the Per Line Setup page in the IP-223/4. In that same section look at the far right hand side and you will see two columns labeled system and channel. The system column is the zone that you want the radio to change to when the console selects that channel. In turn the IP-223/4 will also change to that channel in that zone. So in practice let’s say the IP-223/4 has F1, F2, F3 set to zones 1,2,and 3 for the channels 1,2,3 respectfully. Now if this is submitted and saved to eeprom, the IP-223/4 will now change channels to zone 1 channel 1 when the IP-2002 selects F1. If the console selects F2 then the radio will change to zone 2 channel 2. If the console selects F3 then the radio will change to zone 3 channel 3.             © Copyright Bosch Security Systems All rights reserved.

Question   What are possible causes of poor audio in Telex Radio Dispatch Systems?   Answer   Telex Radio Dispatch systems have operating requirements which need to be established and verified, in order to insure good quality audio across a system.  Here are some fundamental parameters that installers and technicians need to be aware of, which, if not properly ascertained, may be causes of poor quality audio in the system. Levels are a foundational issue with Telex radio systems. Improper digital audio levels are one of the most common defects that impair system audio quality.  This means that the digital transmit audio and digital receive audio must be “proportional”.  “Proportional” means that the sampling and conversion of the analog signals must be in the proper binary value “window”.  Generally this would be indicated by a VU Meter bar graph deflection of about 2/3 to ¾ scale at voice peaks.  Improper digital audio levels are the result of improper analog levels going into the CODEC. Digital audio that is too low or too high will degrade re-constitution of digital back to analog audio at the end points.  The Telex “VU Meter” program allows measurement of the digital audio levels at different points in the network. (See the Knowledge Based articles on Optimal Analog to Digital Conversion in the IP-223, and Telex Dispatch VU Meter Program) VU Meter gives a graphic and numeric indication of digital sampling with multicast traffic. Microphones The quality of the transmit audio of the entire system depends heavily upon the quality of the signal originating from the microphone.  The microphone is where the “tires touch the road” in the system, and a poor quality microphone cannot be compensated for by any external means. The highest quality radio system will not sound good if the microphone is of poor quality, improperly adjusted, or improperly used.  The microphone is the last component in the system that should be a low price based selection. Poor microphone audio is often caused by improper use of the microphone, or the wrong type of microphone for the application.  Without a doubt, the headset mic is the best choice for any dispatching application, whether pubic safety, or not. The headset mic is always at a consistent distance from the dispatcher’s mouth, and the close proximity minimizes background noise, and promotes a very consistent voice transmit level.  Keep in mind that although some dispatchers do not like to wear headsets, no other type of mic will produce as consistently good sound quality as well as a headset mic. Desktop and gooseneck microphones are designed to be used at a specific distance from the dispatcher’s mouth, and when that distance is exceeded, audio quality degrades, and more background noise is picked up along with the voice.It is common to find a desk mic used at a much greater distance than intended, and this creates less than optimal voice audio quality. Obviously, a microphone gain setting that is too high can also create a similar problem, with excessive pickup of background noise, and excessive voice amplitude.  Too low of gain setting, and the voice amplitude will be too soft and accompanied by noise. Again console mic audio in a RoIP system is adjusted by watching the VU Meter deflection at the console, using a loud talk test.Once the best deflection is attained, further gain adjustments at the radio end ensure proper transmitter modulation, and optimal audio quality.  Voice peaks are a recommended reference point for calibration. Tones may not be as accurate for modulation calibration, as digital conversion does not reproduce single frequency sine waves as well as voice modulation. Control Stations Control station radios need to be run across the test bench to insure that they meet all performance specifications.  Once installed on site, transmit modulation levels need to be re-verified, once the overall system alignment is completed. Mic Jack Audio Some radios use the mic jack as the TX audio interface. Be aware that such low level signals are susceptible to local sources of electrical noise, and shielded cables should always be used. RF Most installations use multiple control stations in a single rack or shelf arrangement. RF leakage can infiltrate wiring of all kinds, so it is important to minimize any radiation that may occur in the vicinity of the system equipment.  Keep lead lengths as short as possible. Using outside antennas located as far away from equipment as possible is important, especially when using high power base stations. Use double shielded RF antenna cables to insure that minimal RF radiation is occurring locally at the rack. iDen phones and similar can generate all kinds of pulse mode interference, especially if the antenna is not cabled to an external location. A loose antenna cable connector can create a lot of RF radiation near the radio. When in doubt, shield everything. Make sure connections are tight. Amplified speaker cables and microphone cables are very susceptible to pulse mode RF interference. High Noise Floor Areas For example, if you are planning a power company dispatch center installation, and you have 345,000 volt transmission power lines next to the building, you may have a noise problem.  Similarly, areas near commercial radio and television broadcasting towers may also have a very high RF noise floor that must be considered. Control station interfaces should be located out of the area of these types of noise sources if possible. If installation away from these noise sources is not possible, extra care should be used to shield all wiring.  Faraday shielding is the best method of eliminating electrical noise induced from radiating sources. Noise Present via Supplied AC Power Variations and transients in AC power can contribute to system noise.  Using UPS power supplies or power conditioners can help eliminate AC power noise present on the supply lines. Verifying that the equipment room supply outlets are properly wired and correctly grounded is good practice.  Improper grounds can be a significant factor in noise. Telex equipment should always have case grounds installed. DC Power Telex equipment in racks should have a common DC power supply, rather than each one on a separate power supply.  A power supply plugged into an improperly grounded outlet will almost always cause AC noise. Network Network topology can cause VoIP audio problems if there are bandwidth restrictions, or if shared services are causing packet queuing, or data collisions. If operating on a shared network, use VPN Tunnels. Many Telex customers have had good results with products such as DCB (Data Communications for Business) tunnel boxes.           © Copyright Bosch Security Systems All rights reserved.

Question   How can I integrate a legacy analog console into a Telex RoIP system?   Answer   Legacy TRC (Tone Remote Control) consoles send analog voice and signaling tones down copper pairs to control remote radios.  In a system conversion from copper to RoIP, the IP-223 is able to convert the console signals into data, which is sent across the network to a far end IP-223 in Tone mode. This IP-223 re-constitutes the data back into analog signals, and sends them to the tone remote adapter/control station transmitter.  (The console end IP-223 must be configured for Console mode to perform this conversion) Receive audio is likewise digitized by the radio end IP-223, and sent across the network back to the Console mode IP-223, which again converts the data back into analog audio that is played back as console receive audio. Configuration of the IP-223s Note: Jumpers MUST be configured correctly for the unit to work.  An incorrect jumper setting can waste hours of unnecessary troubleshooting time.  Consult your application notes and manual to determine the correct jumper settings for your application. We recommend that you double check them. It is also important to be sure that the Console mode IP-223 2175 Hz PTT Notch filter is ON.  This prevents two sets of 2175 tones being sent to the radio end of the system (one from the Console mode IP-223 and one from the Tone mode IP-223), which will create a beat frequency, and thus create impossibly unstable tone decoding. Crossover: When converting a legacy tone console to a Telex RoIP system, it is necessary to connect the console outbound audio (TX pair) to the IP-223 RX pair (dB-25 pins 12 and 24), and the console inbound audio (RX pair) to the IP-223 TX pair (dB-25 pins 13 and 25). Software Settings The Parallel Console checkbox in Per Line settings must be checked when using Console Mode. All Function Tones that will be used need to be enabled. Tone and Frequency durations, frequencies and magnitudes must match the radio end TRC decoder requirements Connection in 2 Wire or 4 Wire? If a choice of 2 Wire or 4 Wire configuration is available, there is no doubt that 4 Wire is the best option.  With separate TX and RX audio paths, the possibility of  random loud RX signals audio causing TX decoder to falsely recognize as a TRC tone burst, is eliminated.  This problem is commonly manifested by erratic momentary mode changes from RX to TX modes while receive traffic is active.  This can even cause the radio to change channels randomly as decoder thinks it is supposed to change channels. 4 Wire also normally provides better audio quality and more stable levels over time, especially when long runs of copper leased lines are used, and the false decoding issue is not a factor in 4 Wire.  Figure 1 - Tone Remote Control (TRC) Burst Level setting Most consoles use standard TRC levels and frequencies based on a LLGT (Low Level Guard Tone, sometimes called Hold Tone) of -20 db.  The voice audio portion of the signal normally occupies a level window of approximately -20 to 0.0 dB. Motorola consoles often use a slightly lower TRC level window…a LLGT of about -30 dB.  The voice window will also be correspondingly lower.  This will require a slightly lower LAM level setting in the IP-223 than the typical -35 dB.  The IP-223 is normally able to work reliably with a Motorola legacy console if aligned carefully. If you are unable to obtain consistent TRC keying, verify that your console is sending standard tone frequencies, durations and levels that match what the radio is expecting. Dead key the console (PTT with no voice) and measure the LLGT with a Transmission Test set or TIMS Test Set on the console TX pair.The LLGT should be stable at approximately -20 dB, or with some Motorola consoles, -25 dB to -30 dB.  Adjust accordingly to present this level to the input of the IP-223. Perform a loud voice test and see that the peaks do not exceed approximately 0.0 dB.  The IP-223 should consistently display “CTX F1” at all voice levels from quiet to maximum peak.If the levels peak at greater than 0.0 dB, the IP-223 “CTX F1” display may drop out.  This can be caused by excessive peak levels at the input of the IP-223 CODEC.  If this happens, slightly reduce the input level.The IP-223 gains may be adjusted via software, or a hardware pot. It is good practice to do a quick check of the digital output level going out onto the network with the Telex “VU Meter” program.  The bar graph deflection should be peaking in the range of about ½ to ¾ of full scale. Transmitter deviation should be checked for correct values with a console voice test.  Receive levels should be in approximately the same level range as transmit, to provide acceptable volume at the console.           © Copyright Bosch Security Systems All rights reserved.

Question   Multicast doesn't seem to be working on my Telex Dispatch system - what are good next steps to troubleshoot for possible network issues?   Answer   The problem can come from many reasons, the two most common are the following: 1. The TTL value entered isn't high enough for the number of router hops and Multicast packets are being pruned by the network before reaching the end point unit.  Try increasing the TTL value. 2. By default WAN or Layer 3 networks will not pass multicast traffic, a good next step to test overall port number addressing.  Configure a number of devices for "point to point" Unicast instead of "point to multi-point" Multicast.   Enter the IP address of the far end IP unit into the Multicast address field of the local IP unit.  Do this for both ends. If console and radio traffic now work using Unicast the network is not configured correctly for Multicast traffic an you need to work with the IT manager for resolution.          . © Copyright Bosch Security Systems All rights reserved.
