Major BOS 1V/4V/8V Major BOS 1V, Major BOS 4V and Major BOS 8V are µC-controlled desktop controller units for 2-way radio systems controlling one, up to four or eight radios, respectively. The connection to the radios is achieved over one single ethernet connection (LAN or via Internet) instead of separate cables for each radio circuit.
Control and Display Elements Keyboard The keyboard holds the following functions for each of the four/eight channels: Button Function (standard) (Funk-)kreis x selection button VOL+ increase volume VOL- decrease volume mute loudspeaker special function (not assigned, only MBOS 4V) I / RUF1 button for tone call 1 II / RUF2 button for tone call 2...
Calling Radio Channels Channel Selection To activate one of the different channels push the corresponding selection button. To deactivate a channel again push the corresponding selection button once more. Depending on the configuration (see also: Configuration via the Web Interface) you can either select several channels simultaneously or only one channel at a time.
Encoder Major BOS V has an integrated encoder for call 1 and call 2. The calls for each channel are transmitted directly with the corresponding buttons on the keyboard (I / RUF 1 or I / RUF 2). The calls are transmitted as long as the corresponding button is being pressed. Transmitter Control The transmitters of the selected radio channels are activated with one of the PTT but- tons (e.g.
Opto-Coupler Input The opto-coupler input on ST5 can be configured via Web interface to fulfill different tasks in the same way as all inputs can be. To activate the opto-coupler input, a direct current (3V < U < 15V) is necessary that can be obtained directly from ST14a/2.
Configuration via the Web Interface Preparing the PC To be able to acces the Web Interface of the Major BOS V, a PC has to be configured properly. Ex factory, the network address of the Major is as follows: IP address: 192.168.16.181 Subnet mask: 255.255.255.0...
This kind of problems can be completely avoided if Major and PC are connected to a to a separate network hub or switch, which is solely used for that purpose. Example Configurations of Funktronic devices in different network architectures can be found in the manual: "Ethernet Connections".
The System Pages After entering the Major's IP address into the adress bar of the browser, system page 1 is displayed (see image above). This page contains the local network settings of the Major BOS V. Als Startseite wird die System-Seite 1 geöffnet (siehe oben). In order to have effect, any configuration changes need to be confirmed with "Anwenden".

Netzmaske Subnet mask, as is used in the local network. Default: „255.255.255.0“ Gateway IP-Adresse The address of the router/DSL gateway in the local network. This is necessary, if the remote stations are not part of the same network. Default: „0.0.0.0“ Primärer DNS-Server A DNS server is only necessary if host/DNS names are used.
Ziel IP Adresse The IP addresses of the remote stations must all be different (also different from the own IP address). Port für Audio/NF The audio port is used for transmission of the audio packets. The used UDP protocol must be activated in firewalls.

Funktion der Eingänge / Funktion der Ausgänge The possible functions of inputs and outputs can be freely assigned to the respective pins. For PTT inputs, the assignment to the desired microphones is also made here. Eingangsverstärkung / Ausgangsverstärkung If necessary, the different AF input and output levels can be adjusted here. Mikrofonausgabepegel / Ausgabepegel Ruf The output levels of the microphone and of call 1/2 can also be adjusted separately for the different AF directions.

RS232 Monitor For via the RS232 interface the respective socket of the Major needs to be connected to the PC's COM port. In case your PC does not have a COM socket, you can also use a COM-USB converter. In order to read the syslog messages, you need to use a terminal software (e.g.
