SATELLINE-3AS UHF NMS with dedicated Network Management System SATELLINE-3AS NMS introduces SATEL’s new concept of remotely manageable radio modems. In addition to ordinary communication functions it exhibits configuration through radio, efficient diagnostics tools and accumulation of operation statistics data. The management and surveillance of a network of 3AS NMS radio modems is effected through the Master Station connected by a serial interface to a PC with dedicated Network Management software. Long-term logs of the operational data on the SATEL NMS PC facilitate follow-up of trends and regularly occurring events. The Network Management System provides easy configuration of the network and advance indication of faults, for maximum reliability, labour-saving maintenance work and efficient system management. The NMS radio modems monitor the condition of the radio connection: strength of the signal (RSSI) and the voltage level of the power source as well as the inside temperature of the modem, on a continuous basis. The information is transmitted to the SATEL NMS PC, where it is stored and displayed as logs and trend data. With the help of the graphical display of the network available at the SATEL NMS PC, the user can conveniently configure, add or remove radio modems without need of a terminal, as well as draw message routes and set repeater links. The Network Management System offers the user several significant benefits, including - Enhanced reliability, through anticipated advance indication of faults & failures - Reduced configuration and maintenance costs, through remote configuration, - Efficient network development tool - Flexibility in adapting to customer protocols and applications. A SATELLINE-3AS NMS network provides a working solution to a large variety of wireless data communications applications. It is particularly well suited for frequently changing networks as well as for applications requiring utmost reliability, thanks to efficient monitoring of the signal condition and flexible use of alternative routing. Remote, continuous monitoring of the voltage level of the power source as well as the temperature of the radio modem provide early indication of and possibility of avoiding anticipated problems.

SATELLINE-3AS UHF Epic NMS 10W Powerful radio modem with diversity reception and Network Management System Programmable output power 1 W...10 W RS interface data speed 300...38400 bit/s Interfaces RS-232, RS-422 or RS-485 LCD display and four push buttons in 3ASd EpicNMS Error correction (FEC) Repeater function Frequency tuning range +/-2 MHz from the central frequency Dual Band option in 3AS Epic NMS DB Cooler for continous transmission option The SATELLINE-3AS Epic NMS exhibits a high power (10 W) transmitter and two receivers operated in a Diversity Reception mode. The Diversity Reception improves the reliability of the connection where there is a lot of signal fading caused by reflections. The high output power and the Diversity Reception make it possible to more than double the connection distances in comparison to ordinary SATELLINE-3AS NMS radio modems with 1 W output power. The remotely manageable SATELLINE-3AS Epic NMS offers configuration through radio, efficient diagnostics tools and accumulation of operation statistics data, in addition to ordinary communication functions. The management and surveillance of a network of 3AS Epic NMS radio modems is effected through the Master Station connected by a serial interface to a PC with dedicated Network Management software. The 3AS Epic NMS radio modems monitor, on a continuous basis, the condition of the radio connection, in particular the strength of the signal (RSSI) and the voltage level of the power source as well as the inside temperature of the modem. The information is transmitted to the SATEL NMS PC, where it is stored and displayed as logs and trend data. A SATELLINE-3AS Epic NMS network consists of remotely adjustable radio modems operated in a polling mode and controlled through the Master Station by dedicated SATEL NMS software. The SATEL NMS software provides the user with a powerful graphical tool for designing a radio network, which ensures that each NMS radio modem receives and transfers only the messages intended for it, and that each message is appropriately routed, using repeaters where necessary. The user data and NMS information are transferred seamlessly together. The Network Management System is compatible with most user protocols, making the NMS network suitable for a wide range of applications. Diversity Reception In radio systems it is not necessary to have a direct visual connection between the master station and the moving substation because the radio signal transmits by reflecting from buildings and terrain e.g. such as hills. The fading occurs when the radio signals reflect from several objects to the antenna of the receiver. The propagation speed of the radio signals is at the speed of light so the signals reflecting from different objects arrive into the receiver at different times. The signals at the receiving antenna are in different phases so in the worst case two equally strong signals being in opposite phases cancel each other out and thus will cause the fading. The dips of the signal appear with half wave intervals. In connections, which are only based on reflections, the reliability of the signal receiving is depending on the position of the receiving antenna even ones fairly close to the base station. By setting the two antennas of the diversity receiver at least ¾ x wavelength apart from each other the message can always be received by one of the receivers if not both. When installing the antennas in this way they are rarely at the same time in the fading dips.

The transceiver of the radio modem offers as an option two 2 MHz frequency bands, tuned at the factory with a maximum separation of 15 MHz between the highest and the lowest frequency. The radio modem can be reprogrammed to operate at any channel within those two bands.

SATEL NMS PC Software The versatile Network Management System (NMS) software provided with the SATELLINE-3AS(d) NMS and VHF modems greatly extends the modem's functionality. The software runs on a PC connected to a node which is configured as a master station. NMS provides a comprehensive suite of functions for both creating and managing radio modem networks, including the graphical design of topology and message routing or repeater functions, remote modification of settings, and logging and trending of field data. Powerful diagnostic reporting facilities are also included, providing access to the SATELLINE modem's built-in reliability monitoring functionality. These include RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication), indication of the power source voltage level, and internal temperature. In conjunction with NMS's monitoring and data logging capability, these features allows users to both anticipate and deal with many potential service issues efficiently - for example by changing message routing and scheduling maintenance or inspection to take place during planned site visits.
