Page 7: Introduction
INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION MAGIC TBR System is a compact and cost-efficient solution for the DAB tunnel provisioning. A major feature of the system – as requested in the EU Tunnel Directive 2004/54/EC – is the break-in possibility in case of emergencies or also for purely informative announcements. -
Page 8: General Safety Requirements
INTRODUCTION General Safety Requirements To keep the technically unavoidable residual risk to a minimum, it is absolutely necessary to observe the following rules: • Transport, storage and operation of the unit must be under the permissible conditions only. • Installation, configuration and disassembly must be carried out only by trained personal on the basis of the respective manual. -
Page 9: Construction
INTRODUCTION Construction The functions of MAGIC TBR are implemented in a single 19” x 2U unit which is designed for mounting in 19” racks. The front keypad and display of the system allow a basic configuration of the most important parameters like IP address, operating mode etc. -
Page 10: Functionality
INTRODUCTION Functionality MAGIC TBR is implemented on a signal processor-based hardware platform which is assembled in an optimised way and achieves best values in terms of power consumption and reliability. The standard system has a demodulator/modulator module for one Ensemble. If required, the system can be equipped with a further module for a second Ensemble. -
Page 11: Figure 4: Remodulator Mode
INTRODUCTION Voice Break-In Function During the repeater operation the received Ensemble is analysed permanently to always have the current Multiplex Configuration Information (MCI) available – even after reconfigurations. In case of a necessary voice break-in all DAB and DAB+ Audio sub channels are automatically replaced by the emergency signal. - Page 12 INTRODUCTION...

When mounting the unit please keep in mind that the bending radius of the connected cables is always greater than the minimum allowed value. Although MAGIC TBR has an integrated fan for proper cooling, it is recommended to have sufficient ventilation. The ambient temperature of the system should be within the range of +5°C and +45°C. -
Page 14: Earthing Of The System
PUTTING MAGIC TBR INTO OPERATION Earthing of the system For EMC reasons an earthing via the earthing screw on the back side of the unit must be carried out in either case. Earthing A lacking earthing can cause functional deficiencies within the unit. Because of the ‘pending’... -

0...9 . For text entries the numerical pad can also be used as a normal characters keypad. Soft keys Figure 5: Front keypad and display Front status LEDs MAGIC TBR has five LEDs for status indication: • POWER green System is ready for operation • SYNC yellow blinking RF input of one or both modules is not sufficient. -
Page 16: Wiring Of The System
PUTTING MAGIC TBR INTO OPERATION Wiring of the system The wiring of MAGIC TBR is simple as shown in Figure 6. Figure 6: Wiring diagram You can use either LAN1 or LAN2 interface (or both). If you plan to use the VoIP telephone call break-in possibility later, it is recommended to use the LAN2 interface since VoIP must run via LAN1. -
Page 17: Basic Configuration Via Front Panel
Although the most important functions are available via the front keypad and display the configuration with a web browser is more comfortable. However, at least one IP address must be configured on MAGIC TBR directly to allow an access via a web browser: •... - Page 18 PUTTING MAGIC TBR INTO OPERATION...

• Internet Explorer (version 11 or higher) After entering the IP address into the address line of your browser you should be automatically connected to MAGIC TBR as shown in Figure 7 (of course an ensemble will not be displayed if system is not fully configured). -
Page 20: Settings - Step-By-Step Configuration Of The System
THE WEB INTERFACE OF MAGIC TBR SETTINGS - Step-by-step configuration of the system For a standard configuration only a few settings are mandatory: • Setup of Operation mode (see CHAPTER 3.1.1) • Configuration of Break-In scenarios (see CHAPTER 3.1.2) • Setup of the Audio Input for live Audio announcements (see CHAPTER 3.1.3) All other settings of the system are optional and depend on the local environment. -
Page 21: Operation Mode Configuration
THE WEB INTERFACE OF MAGIC TBR 3.1.1 Operation mode configuration The Mode configuration allows you to setup the system either in Repeater or Remodulator mode: Figure 9: Operation Mode • In Repeater mode the system passes through the received signal to the RF output with a very low delay of a few µs. -
Page 22: Break-In Configuration
THE WEB INTERFACE OF MAGIC TBR 3.1.2 Break-In configuration Figure 10: Break-In Configuration The system allows you to define up to four Break-In scenarios which can be triggered either by TTL inputs (Ensemble 1: Pin 1 … Pin 4 respectively Ensemble 2: Pin 5 …... -
Page 23: Figure 11: Live Audio Announcement Modes
THE WEB INTERFACE OF MAGIC TBR • Slideshow (SLS) • In addition, it is possible to setup different repetitions of the Audio content. • For all scenarios you can choose to use the default DLS and SLS or a separate one for each scenario. - Page 24 THE WEB INTERFACE OF MAGIC TBR Restrictions and Recommendations for Audio, DLS and SLS files The live Audio is recorded automatically in the system so that a playout of the last live announcement in a loop is possible. The maximum length of a live Audio recording is limited to 30 minutes.

Page 33: Figure 21: System Alarm Traps
THE WEB INTERFACE OF MAGIC TBR System Alarm Traps System alarms occur if a hardware problem exists. Typically, there is a communication problem between the processor and the indicated hardware component (e.g. Flash EPROM). Figure 21: System Alarm Traps To make it easier for the service technician in the NMS to interpret the different alarms we recommend to use only categories (see PAGE 30, SNMP Parameters) which you can assign separately for each available system alarm. -
