LBI-38987B INTRODUCTION NOTE INTRODUCTION This manual provides instructions for configuring the Ericsson GE Trunking Card (GETC) for use in a Single Channel Autonomous Trunking (SCAT) station. The information presented in this manual is applicable to EDACS SCAT stations using the MASTR II, IIe or MASTR III repeaters. The manual provides instructions for installing the SCAT Station GETC hardware and software, Turbo software, and programming the system’s personality.
SOFTWARE UPGRADES platform. As a result, it is no longer necessary to replace the Station GETC software with unique SCAT GETC software. Feature Enhancements The Release 5 GETC1e software adds SCAT Data, ProSound, Enhanced Multisite Login, and Voted Digital Interconnect (VDI) features. The SCAT operating mode will acquire many of these new features. These features are activated in the GETC personality using the GETC1e PC Programmer TQ-3357 V4.03 (with Field Macro “gtc_9505.mac”) or V5.0.

LBI-38987B OPERATION OPERATION SCAT GETC STAND-ALONE SCAT The stand-alone SCAT consists of a standard EDACS Station as shown in Figure 1, with the GETC personality configured for SCAT operation (special SCAT software 344A3835G2 required prior to release 5). In this configuration, the repeater transmits Control Channel information until a radio requests a channel. The SCAT repeater then assigns itself as the Working Channel and begins routing audio.
LBI-38987B Except for interconnect calls, all group and individual calls appear as transmission trunked calls to the radio and the CEC/IMC. This assures the mobile's quick return to the Control Channel. Local interconnect is unavailable on SCAT sites. However, use of the Centralized Telephone Interconnect System (CTIS or Jessica) is available in the multisite configuration. correction, general control of timer and IO functions (DIP switch, LED's, UART's, etc.
LBI-38987B CONFIGURATION CONFIGURATION The scat configuration process involves the following procedures and should be completed in the order presented: 1. Hardware Installation - The Hardware Installation procedure verifies proper installation of GETC hardware. 2. GETC Software Installation - The GETC Software Installation procedure provides instructions for installing the GETC operating software. 3.
CONFIGURATION operational. If you suspect that the GETC Logic board is not operating properly, refer to the Troubleshooting section in this manual. Upgrading Hardware GETC Shelves 19D901868G3 which are upgrading to the 349A9607G5 software must ensure their hardware is upgraded to the proper level. (The 19D901868G4 GETC Shelf meets all Release 5 requirements.) Turbo Board Installation This manual assumes the Turbo Board is previously installed and fully functional.
LBI-38987B CONFIGURATION Use the following procedure to install the modem if it is not already installed: 4. Verify the presence of demodulated signal data at TP107. 5. Adjust the transmit level potentiometer R2 for the maximum output level allowed by the phone line, microwave link, or equivalent communication line. For telephone lines linking the Station GETC to the CEC/IMC Uplink GETC, adjust R2 for .77 Vrms (0 dBm) measured across J6-8 and J6-9 (TB10-1 and 2).

LBI-38987B CONFIGURATION GETC SOFTWARE INSTALLATION 4. Ensure microprocessor U1 is the “Speedy” microprocessor 80C320 (RYT 121 6060/A). This processor is required when upgrading the software to 349A9607G5. The processor is available in the Speedy Upgrade Kit SPK9505. Replace if necessary. Refer to LBI-38894 for installation instructions. 5. Ensure Turbo Board harness has Ferrite Toroid installed. Toroid is included in the SPK9505 Speedy Upgrade Kit. Replace if necessary.
CONFIGURATION 1. Replace Group 5 GETC PROM with original software. 2. Reload original Programmer. Turbo software using PC 3. If changes were made to the personality, then reload the previous parameters. 4. The Speedy microprocessor upgrade, if installed, does not need to be reversed. If the original equipment was a GETC (GETC with no Turbo) platform, then perform the following steps:: 1. Replace Group 5 GETC PROM with original software. 2.
LBI-38987B CONFIGURATION TQ-3357 V4.03 (or later) 1. 2. Connect the TQ-3360 programming cable from the PC's serial port connector to the GETC Shelf connector J104 (A DB-25 to DB-9 adapter may be needed.) Using the TQ-3357’s LOAD utility, copy the Station Turbo software (344A4414) into the PC Programmer’s working directories. 3. Load the Field Macro “gtc_9505.mac” into the TQ-3357 PC Programmer using the instructions contained in Chapter 5 of the TQ-3357 manual. 4.
CONFIGURATION LBI-38987B NOTE PERSONALITY PROGRAMMING NOTE It is not necessary to recreate the personality when upgrading from 344A3835G2 software to 349A9607G5 except when upgrading non-turbo platforms. Personality refers to the system configuration data stored in the GETC's memory. The GETC's Personality includes system configuration information such as channel frequencies, call parameters, operating modes, and identification information.

Change the personality parameters as required. NOTE NOTE LBI-38987B channel. As a TRACKED group, the SCAT channel only receives requests from the CEC/IMC for groups that are logged into the SCAT system.
LBI-38987B OPERATIONAL CHECKOUT OPERATIONAL CHECKOUT Verify that the GETC is operating correctly by performing the following steps: DIP SWITCH SETTINGS The GETC DIP Switch settings depend on the GETC's usage (Station GETC or SCAT Downlink GETC), channel, and frequency. Through improvements in software and hardware, fewer changes in DIP switch settings are required.
OPERATIONAL CHECKOUT 7. Unkey the radio and verify that the station returns to the Control Channel mode. Multisite Initiated Calls 1. 2. LBI-38987B 2. Initiate a call from radio 1 to radio 2 using the Digital Voice mode. 3. When the call is received, verify that SCAT Station GETC LEDs L1, L6, and L7 turn ON (see Table 10). Initiate a multisite call or a console call to a radio assigned to the SCAT station.
LBI-38987B LED INDICATORS LED Indicators TROUBLESHOOTING Table 12 is a summary of the operating modes and the associated LED indications. The hardware used in the GETC is extremely reliable, making component failure the unlikely cause of most problems. The most common causes of problems are programming errors and interface connections.
