Page 7 Abbreviations Abbreviation Description Customer Service Software (CSS) is the Tait PC-based software for monitoring, configuring, and diagnosing a Tait TB9100 base station. DFSI Digital Fixed Station Interface - allows direct digital connection between devices, using the FSI TIA open-standard interface.
Page 9 Introduction TB9100 base stations and gateways form a TaitNet P25 system and are interconnected over an IP-based linking infrastructure, where together they operate as a single logical channel. Third-party dispatch console systems can also be integrated with TaitNet P25 networks.
Page 10 Equipment Transmit Steering Gateway The gateway hardware is physically the same as a Tait TB9100 base station, with transmit steering software added to the network board. The network board acts as the link between the I/O module and the TaitNet P25 Network, and gives the base station an identity as a network element.
Page 11 Installation The chapter describes: installing the Transmit Steering Gateway software into a TB9100 reciter, ■ configuring the syslog configuration script, ■ setting up the I/O connections, ■ Adam 5000/TCP software install and setup. ■ Transmit Steering Gateway software installation Equipment Steering software binary - provided by Tait Design Services.

Page 16 I/O connections Connect Ethernet from the TB9100 to the ADAM-5000 RJ45 connector. Connect DC power to the ADAM-5000. The ADAM-5000 controller modules have banks of 16 channels. Make console connections to match the gateway configuration. Refer to “Transmit Steering Gateway text file configuration” on page 23 The following table shows the maximum I/O requirement, using digital I/O only, no P25 DFSI interface and all available features.
