1Operation preparation
1.1 Foreword
This manual describes the interconnection of one or more UMS100/120 with a control PC to a high-
capacity, extensively automatic radio monitoring network.
In addition, steps are described required for setting-up measurements which run automatically on the
UMS100/120.
The system operator is then only required if a UMS100/120 detects a deviation and has triggered an
alarm on the control PC in the main office. Manual tests must then be performed interactively to obtain
further information. This procedure is also outlined as an example.

1.2 Installation/preparation
The UMS100/120 components and control PC are also referred to as network elements in the following,
in accordance with ARGUS nomenclature. Before the actual configuration of these network elements
(UMS100/120 and control PC) can begin, the type of connection must be determined. Therefore it is
strongly recommended to enter the names, IP addresses, modem telephone numbers and other access
parameters such as user names and passwords, etc into a corresponding table. Only then can the
configuration of the network elements take place smoothly and enable communication.
Allocating IP addresses is essential for the network elements to be able to communicate clearly in the
network.
The definition of IP addresses in the private address range will not be discussed here in any detail.
There are explanations in the corresponding literature (e.g. using the Internet at Wikipedia:
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hauptseite or according to RFC 1918, go directly to
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1918.txt).
If more than one UMS100/120 is operating in the network, the configuration must take place before it is
connected to the network (LAN/WAN), as all UMS100/120 are set with a factory default address
(192.168.0.31).
One such configuration table is attached in appendix A which is filled in with several stations and the
accompanying parameters as an example.
This or the UMS100/120 to be connected is/are to be installed and connected to the power supply in
accordance with the "Mechanical Installation Manual".In the case of a LAN/WAN connection, the
UMS100/120 must be configured before with regards to the address.
The main office must be accessible at all times and supplied with the appropriate equipment for set-up
and operating a standard PC with keyboard, mouse and a printer.
Depending on the type of UMS100/120 connection, suitable telecommunication lines must be available.
This includes LAN/WAN access and/or analogue telephone lines for at least one, but usually two
modems. GSM module as modem can also be used alternatively. In this way the main office also has a
"wireless" connection.
Astandard PC is suitable as a control PC equipped with a Pentium IV processor, 512 MB memory, at
least 40 GB hard drive, CD or DVD-RW drive and an adequate number of RS232 ports (for external
modems) or PCI card slots (for internal modems). At least one free USB connector must be available
for the USB hardlock.

Figure 1-2: UMS100/120 connection to the main office (via LAN/WAN (red) or mobile network (blue))
When using a LAN/WAN connection via e.g. SHDSL connections, that are available in many countries
now as point-to-point connections should be completely end-to-end tested by the telephone network
operator, including modems.
1.3 Web-based Service Tool in UMS100/120
To carry out the minimal service work when up and running and for the initial configuration, a user
interface can be used which is web-based and can be started on each UMS100/120. A web browser
such as MS Internet Explorer from version 5.0 (better 6.0) can be used or e.g. Mozilla Firefox 1.4 on
any control or service PC. The control or service PC is connected to the system that has to to be
configured via a LAN/WAN or mobile network connection. Once the IP address has been entered the
configuration tool starts up. The user interface of the configuration tool is only available in English.
Furthermore, a service PC does not require any other special programs.

1.4 UMS100/120 configuration for LAN/WAN
connections
CAUTION
The configuration must take place before installing the device within the LAN as they all
have the same IP address (192.168.0.31) from the factory by default. Without previous
configuration, the devices would not be able to communicate individually in the network and
there would be an IP address conflict.
The configuration is either done in a central delivery store before they are distributed to the site or it is
done by a technician on site after the mechanical installation using a service notebook.
Astandard PC with a LAN interface and a web browser (e.g. MS Internet Explorer, see chapter 1.3) is
required for the configuration.
Connect the PC to the UMS100/120 in one of the two following ways:
•Connect the RJ45 socket on the PC to the corresponding socket on the bottom of the UMS100/120
to be configured directly using a cross wired LAN cable.
•Connect the RJ45 socket on the PC to the corresponding socket on the bottom of the UMS100/120
to be configured using an uncrossed cable by interconnecting a simple LAN switch or hub.
Then start the UMS100/120 by connecting it to the power supply.
Now start up the PC and set the network card to an IP address within the address range 192.168.0.xxx,
Subnet. 255.255.255.0, e.g. 192.168.0.11. The 192.168.0.31 IP address may not be used as this is the
UMS100/120 address (IP address conflict).
Then start up the web browser.
To open the service tool in UMS100/120, enter the following address in the browser window.
CAUTION
As this is a matter of a secure connection it is essential to enter "https:…..".
https://192.168.0.31
The following security message appears:

Operation preparation UMS100/120/120 System Manual
11 3030.3059.72-02.00
Figure 1-3: Service Tool, security certificate
As the communication between the control PC and UMS100/120 is processed in SSL (encrypted /
secure sockets layer), the UMS100/120 provides a certificate. A warning always appears to inform that
the name does not match the name of the site (see Figure 1-3). Acknowledge this certificate by clicking
on <Yes>.
UMS120 incorporates the modular version of the UMS100 complete system. Users therefore can
connect to the UMS120 a large range of monitoring antennas from Rohde & Schwarz (transducers are
interpreted) as well as from other suppliers (transducers are not interpreted) and configure these within
the service tool.
The displayed pages of the service tool are slightly different to UMS100 having an additional menu
entry for antenna configuration with UMS120 (refer to Figure 1-7).
