Warranty and safety instructions
Read these safety instructions carefully before using the product:
– The warranty will be void if the product is used in any way that is in
contradiction with the instructions given in this manual, or if the housing of the
radio modem has been opened or tampered with.
– The devices mentioned in this manual are to be used only according to the
instructions described in this manual. Faultless and safe operation of the
devices can be guaranteed only if the transport, storage, operation and
handling of the device is appropriate. This also applies to the maintenance of
the products.
– To prevent damage the Central Unit (referred to in this user guide as CU)
must always be switched OFF before connecting or disconnecting the serial
connection cable. It should be ascertained that dierent devices used have the
same ground potential. Before connecting any power cables the output voltage
of the power supply should be checked.
– To be protected against all veried adverse eects the separation distance of
at least 44 cm must be maintained between the antenna of SATELLAR radio
modems and all persons.

1. Introduction to the SATEL XPRS radio router
product family
SATEL XPRS radio router is a new generation narrow band radio router that consists of separate units:
– Central unit (CU)
– Radio unit (RU)
Figure 1.1 SATEL XPRS radio router product family:
1. SATELLAR XT 5RC with display:
Central unit (CU) with display and keypad + radio unit (RU)
2. SATELLAR XT 5RC without display:
Central unit (CU) w/o display and keypad + radio unit (RU)
3. SATELLAR XT 5R: Radio unit (RU)
Using SATELLAR the customer builds an own independent radio data communication network. This docu-
ment presents the specications and usage of the CU. The properties of other units are described in the
extent, which is necessary to read in order to understand the operation of the CU.

Data communication
SATELLAR operates either as a transparent radio link, essentially replacing a wire, for classic RS-232,
RS-485 or RS-422 based protocols, or as a wireless router in an IP-based network. Using SATELLAR many
network topologies are possible, everything from a point-to-point connection to a nationwide chain with
multiple branches.
Security
Data security is oen a concern when using radio communication. In SATELLAR there are 128-bit and 256-
bit encryptions available on the air-interface ensures privacy in the radio network.
Display and keypad
The CU is available with or without a display and keypad. The size of the display is 2.4 “, resolution is 320
x 240 pixels, and the amount of colors is 65k. The keypad has seven buttons: le, right, up, and down
arrows, OK button, and two soware dened buttons.
Diagnostics and conguration
Radio modems are oen used in applications where reliability and independence are key properties. To
support this demand, SATELLAR has built-in diagnostic and remote conguration features.

Local use
The status of the CU can be seen from the LED indicators, which are located on the other narrow side of
the unit. More detailed information is available using the graphical user interface with a QVGA display and
7 pushbuttons.
Remote use
Once deployed, status monitoring and conguration can be performed using one of the following meth-
ods:
1. The SATELLAR CU provides WWW pages for conguration and diagnostic, acces-
sible using IP connectivity (the Ethernet interface of the CU)
2. Using the Windows based SATEL NMS PC soware through the serial data in-
terface of the RU, the USB device port of the CU, or TCP/IP port 55555 of the CU.
(Check SW availability from SATEL)
SATELLAR can also be accessed over the air by the methods described above.

Flexible and expandable
SATELLAR concept has been designed to be exible and expandable both in terms of hardware and
soware functions.
Soware
In the RU the modulation method, channel spacing (i.e. air interface data rate), and forward error correc-
tion can be selected by changing the modem settings by soware. Also the RF output power can be set.
Hardware
Due to the modular mechanical structure of SATELLAR, it is possible to add hardware expansion units. The
idea is that this could be done as an update aer the initial deployment. At the moment, however, the RU
does not support the update. Schedule for this will be informed later.
USB host and device connectors oer a possibility to connect commercially available USB devices like
Bluetooth and WLAN modules to the modem or e.g. to show the modem as an external memory device to
the PC.
Ruggedized
SATELLAR is constructed of die-cast aluminum to withstand the abuse typical to rough industrial environ-
ments. It operates over a wide temperature range and under severe vibration conditions to meet the
requirements of vehicular and process industry applications.

1.1 Mounting
The SATELLAR XT 5R and 5RC can be mounted as follows:
• On a DIN-rail using SATELLAR specic DIN rail adapters (two pieces needed) connected at the other
edge or at the bottom of the unit.
• NOTE! The DIN rail adapters have to be ordered separately.
Please contact manufacturer to get more information regarding mounting of the units.
NOTE!
1. The equipment must be installed in restricted access location due to high touch
temperatures of metal enclosure.
2. The screen of coaxial antenna cable must be grounded to protect from over
voltages from outdoor antenna.

The gure below shows a typical setup when transferring IP data through the CU. When using the RU
together with the CU the recommended minimum distance between the antenna and CU is 2 m in order to
avoid degradation of the receiver sensitivity due to interference from the CU.

5. Interfaces
The CU oers three data interfaces: Ethernet, USB host and USB device. LED indicator shows the status
of the unit and graphical user interface can be used to check and change device settings and to see the
diagnostics data.
Ethernet interface:
10/100 Mb/s, 100BASE-TX, Auto-MDIX,
full duplex capability
USB interfaces:
USB2.0, full speed 12.0 Mb/s
USB Host:
A-type connector
The current drive capability is 500 mA
USB Device Interface:
B-type connector
Mass memory device:
Acts as a removable disc in the PC
Virtual serial port:
Acts as as serial port = SATEL NMS port
Figure 5.1 Three data interfaces: Ethernet, USB host and USB device

SATEL OY // SATELLAR MANUAL // CENTRAL UNIT // USER GUIDE // V. 1.9
5. Interfaces
2
The USB interfaces support USB2.0 Full Speed
(12.0 Mb/s) data rates. Both USB host and device
interfaces are available. For USB host the A type
connector is used and for USB device the connec-
tor is B type. The current drive capability of the USB
host interface is 500 mA. The USB device interface
has two modes: Mass memory device and Virtual
serial port. The mode can be selected in Modem
Settings, General category and in addition by the
function button as described in chapter 5.5.
In the Mass memory device -mode a PC can
be connected to the USB device interface and
SATELLAR acts as a Removable Disc in the PC. The
removable disk contains copies of system log les,
which can be copied to the PC. Update les can be
copied to the removable disk and be used in the
Firmware Updater (see chapter 8.3). Any other les
copied to the removable disk are removed when
the cable is disconnected.
In Virtual serial port -mode, the USB port acts as
a serial port. When the USB port is connected to a
PC, the virtual serial port device is created in the
PC. This virtual port appears to windows as a nor-
mal serial port: the only dierence is that an actual
D9 connector is not used. This allows programs to
connect to serial ports in order to access the CU via
the USB connection.
Windows PC requires a special driver, available
from SATEL. The Virtual Serial port acts as a SATEL
NMS port, allowing a program such as SATEL
NETCO Design stack or Netco to be used to change
the settings of SATELLAR. The driver can be found
in the WWW UI under the Administration tab. It can
be downloaded by following the “Download USB
Drivers” link.

5.5 Function button
The function button is located below the LED indicators. It is used to control the operation of the USB
device and Ethernet interfaces as described below. The CU must be allowed to boot up completely before
the button will work.
When the button is pressed for more than a second, all the LEDs turn on indicating the start of the pro-
cess. The eect depends on how long the button is kept depressed, and is indicated by turning the LEDs
o one by one. When the LEDs indicate the desired function, release the button. Aer the button has been
released, press the button once more quickly (less than a second) to nish the operation.
