10BaseT connection that uses VDSL modems in both the towfish and the topside processor. The 4125i towfish is shipped with a choice of dual side scan sonar subsystems with two frequency configurations, 400/900 kHz or 600/1600 kHz. The 400/900 kHz option is the best choice for general survey work providing good range and resolution.
The data can be stored in XTF and JSF formats. The 4125i-P Topside Processor interfaces with the towfish using a high bit-rate digital subscriber line (VDSL) modems. The topside unit also interfaces with a global positioning system (GPS) over a USB to serial or RS-232 serial interface.
This system configuration includes towfish and DC power supplies, ADSL modem, and an Ethernet switch, all within a single 19-inch 2U rack. The rack mount option interfaces with an EdgeTech or user-supplied computer that has EdgeTech’s Discover 4125 installed on it. Discover controls and monitors the towfish, sonar subsystems, and displays and records surveys.

Figure 3-12: Cable grip attached to Depressor Wing Mounting Point. 3.10 Connecting the System Components Most of the system components connect to the 4125i-P or 4125i-RM topsides directly. Optional components, such as a printer, navigation system, and cable counters, connect to the supplied laptop.
To connect and attach the tow cable to the towfish: 1. Verify that the tow cable is not connected to the 4125i Topside Processor. 2. Verify that the tow cable connector on the towfish and the connector on the tow cable are free of corrosion or dirt.
3.10.2.1 Connecting the 4125i-P Topside Processor To connect the 4125i-P Topside Processor: 1. Verify that the 4125i-P Topside Processor is not connected to AC power. 2. Verify that the tow cable is properly connected and attached to the towfish, and then connect the tow cable to the Tow Cable connector.
3.11.1 Preparing a Wired Ethernet LAN Connection The wired Ethernet LAN connection is made by connecting the supplied Ethernet cable from the 4125i-P Portable Topside Processor to the laptop computer. If an Ethernet Category 5 cable greater than 10 meters is connected instead, the Network Adapter on the laptop computer should be set to 10 Mbit/s, Full Duplex.
Ethernet LAN is enabled. If the wireless Ethernet connection is being used, verify that the wireless network switch is on and Wireless Networking is enabled. 3. Turn on the Power switch on the side panel of the 4125i-P Topside or the front of the 4125i-RM topside (ensure the rear toggle switch is also on).
3-41 1. Activate the system as described above. CAUTION!

3-87 3.15 Towfish Recovery CAUTION! The following procedure is only meant as a general guide. Due to varying conditions, exact recovery methods will change, and it is up to the end-user to modify their procedure to match the conditions they are working under.
4.1 Cleaning the 4125i System The 4125i-P and 4125i-RM Topsides require minimal maintenance. However, the Tow Cable / Sea Cable connector should be periodically lubricated, and the other connectors should be inspected regularly.
4-89 opening of each female socket. Use only a small amount, as packing too much grease will cause a hydraulic lock, preventing the connectors from being properly mated. NOTE: Remember to always install dummy connectors on the connectors of the tow cable and the towfish tow cable connector. 4.2 Rearming the Towfish Should the shear pin snap, it must be replaced.
Turn off the topside processor and disconnect the tow cable before disassembling the towfish. CAUTION! Opening the electronics chassis may void the user’s warranty unless preapproved by EdgeTech. Contact EdgeTech Customer Service before opening the chassis. 5.2.1 Disassembly To disassemble the towfish: 1.

Should some operational or performance problems occur with the 4125 Series Dual-frequency Side Scan Sonar System, it may be possible to correct them using the troubleshooting guides in the following pages. 5-1, and For the 4125i-P Topside Processor, a tabular troubleshooting guide is provided in ABLE ABLE for the towfish.
Verify that all the cables on the topside processor and the towfish are mated and are not loose or damaged. Most causes of operational or performance problems are a result of poor connections. 5.5 4125i-P Topside Processor Troubleshooting SYMPTOM PROBABLE CAUSE...

Inspect whether any part of cable was bent beyond the allowable radius. The minimum bending radius of tow cable used with the 4125i Series Dual-frequency Side Scan Sonar System is 6 inches. The cable may suffer damage when the cable is wound or twisted with less than this radius.
5-111 The distance to the short from end #1 is the ratio of R1/(R1+R2) times the total cable length. Recheck from end #2 that is R2/(R1+R2) times the cable length. 5.7.2 Locating an Open Conductor An open conductor in a tow cable is much more difficult to locate than a short.
