    R&S XU 4200 Configuring with the R&S ZS 4200 3.3.2 Meaning of Parameters Default setting description\Default setting description "Radio".doc TX Audio Level This parameter refers to the modulation input (connector X5.2/3). With the default setting, the modulation sensitivity is of 0 dBm – which means that at an AF level of 775 mV at this 600 ohm input, the AM transmitter is driven and modulated at 90 % modulation.
  • Page 67 Configuring with the R&S ZS 4200 R&S XU 4200 TX AM Modulation The modulation depth for the AM modulation can be set. Depth When the automatic level control (see TX Audio ALC parameter) is activated, the set AM modulation is ensured over a dynamic range of ±15 dB at the TX audio level interface (X5.2/3).
  • Page 68 R&S XU 4200 Configuring with the R&S ZS 4200 ACARS Data Mode With this parameter the radio can be configured for voice (disabled) or ACARS data operation (enabled) (2400 Bps). The Voice setting is optimized for voice processing and squelch muting. The ACARS setting available for receiving ACARS data.
  • Page 69 Configuring with the R&S ZS 4200 R&S XU 4200 Main/Standby Type The main/standby type declares if a radio should start up as an active main radio or as an inactive standby radio. If the common AC- or DC-supply of a main/standby installation is powered up, then the radio will boot accordingly.
  • Page 70 R&S XU 4200 Configuring with the R&S ZS 4200 PTT Signaling PTT can be keyed by a tone with a specified frequency that is present within AF signal. If the parameter is on, the tone is detected and controls the PTT function. The tone itself is suppressed within transmitted signal by a notch filter.
  • Page 71 Configuring with the R&S ZS 4200 R&S XU 4200 TX Preemphasis For the use especially with long telephone lines, the AF response shape can be adjusted in a way that higher frequencies have higher gain than lower frequencies. The value in dB specifies the gain at AF = 3400 Hz in comparison to AF = 800 Hz.
  • Page 72 R&S XU 4200 Configuring with the R&S ZS 4200 VoIP radio URI TX This is the unified identifier for VoIP communication of the TX module. This identifier consists parts concluded with “@” sign user@<IP Address> user@<Full Qualified Domain Name> user@muenchen.rohde-schwarz.de. The URI can be up to 64 characters.
  • Page 73 Configuring with the R&S ZS 4200 R&S XU 4200 DSCP Value The radio supports Differentiated Services (DiffServ) as defined by RFC 2474 and RFC 2475 in such a way that each different traffic type can be marked with a specific differentiated service code point (DSCP) value. ATR Switch Mode Reserved / for future use.
  • Page 74 R&S XU 4200 Configuring with the R&S ZS 4200 TX Audio Level VoIP This parameter refers to the VoIP modulation input. With the default setting, the modulation sensitivity is 0 dBm0 which means that at the VoIP audio level of 0 dBm0 the AM transmitter is driven and modulated at 90 % modulation.
  • Page 75 Configuring with the R&S ZS 4200 R&S XU 4200 This parameter is used to enable dynamic host configuration (DHCP). If DHCP Enabled enabled, the radio uses DHCP and can learn an IP address from a DHCP server installed in the network. Note: DHCP is supported in IPv4 network only.

The explanation of the connection establishment is independent from the radio modules. VoIP is a session-based communication standard. This means that audio data transmission requires a mechanism to synchronize the two endpoints (RX/TX and VCS/R&S GB4000V) also called user agents (UA).
