4RF SR, PD, 400-470 MHz, 12.5 kHz, DO, 12 VDC, ET, AA
The Aprisa SR Data Driven Protected Station shown is comprised of two standard Aprisa SR dual antenna
port option radios and two external duplexers mounted on 19" rack mounting shelves.
The Aprisa SR radios can be any of the currently available Aprisa SR radio frequency bands, channel sizes
or single / dual antenna port options.
By default, the Aprisa SR Data Driven Protected Station is configured with the left hand radio (A)
designated as the primary radio and the right hand radio (B) designated as the secondary radio.
Each radio is configured with its own unique IP and MAC address and the address of the partner radio.
On power-up, the primary radio will assume the active role and the secondary radio will assume the
standby role. If, for some reason, only one radio is powered on it will automatically assume the active
role.
Operation
The active radio is determined explicitly by which radio receives data on its RS-232 serial port input from
the interface.
The active radio carries all RS-232 serial traffic over its radio link and the standby radio is unused with its
transmitter turned off.
If data is received on the RS-232 serial port interface input of the standby radio, it will immediately
become the active radio and the radio which was active will become the standby radio.
