When creating a test connection, you can use Windows™ based SATEL Configuration Manager
(available for free from authorised SATEL dealers or directly from SATEL Customer Support),
HyperTerminal (which is included in most the Windows™ based operating system packages), or
almost any other terminal program.
Basic settings for the serial port of the host computer, when using a terminal program to
communicate with SATEL radio modems, are as follows: “COM1, 9600 bps, 8-bit data, none
parity, 1 stop bit”.
If the serial port designated as COM1 in the host computer is reserved, any other free serial port
in the host computer can be used (with the settings listed).
Note: If you want to change the settings of a radio modem using the Programming Mode of
the radio modem with the help of an external ter
minal, the data speed of the terminal must
be 9600 bps.

2OTHER FEATURES
SATELLINE-EASy Pro 35W radio modem fulfils the IP67 (NEMA 6) standard. With an IP67 rating a
product will be totally protected against dust and remain completely sealed when immersed in
water to a depth between 15 cm and 1 meter.
SATELLINE-EASy Pro 35W modem is equipped with a high power 35 W transmitter. It is designed
for easy mobile use in demanding field conditions.
The SATELLINE-EASy Pro 35W is equipped with a liquid crystal display (LCD) and a keypad, used
to indicate the current operating status, as well as for changing the operating channel and power
level of the radio modem.

User Guide v.1.4

3SATELLINE-EASy Pro 35W SPECIAL FEATURES
3.1 Call Sign
SATELLINE-EASy Pro 35W has a CALL SIGN identifier -feature required in some countries. A call
sign can be formally assigned by a government agency, informally adopted by individuals or
organizations, or even cryptographically encoded to disguise identity of a station.
A call sign is an FCC (in US) or other regulatory authority assigned identifier that is issued along
with the license for operating a radio modem. This field is for entering your call sign. The modem
automatically broadcasts the specified call sign periodically. If this field is empty, there is no call
sign information.
Call sign setup can be found in PROG-menu clause Radio settings and further in its sub clause
Call sign. Call sign has three (3) different setups. With Call Sign Mode you can set Morse code
transmission ON or OFF. Call Sign ID defines which Morse code will be transmitted. Only capital
letters and numbers are allowed. If the digits are wrong kind, there will be message: Value error.
Small letters will be converted to capital letters automatically. If Call Sign ID field remains empty,
the Call Sign transmission will not be activated. Call Sign Timer is the transmission delay of Morse
codes. Minimum and default transmission time is 15 minutes.
During Call sign transmission the CTS-line of the modem is not in active state. This is to inform
terminal equipment that the modem is not ready to neither receive data from serial port nor
forward it. The modem deletes all data (also SL commands), which has arrived to serial port
during call sign transmission. Call sign transmission lasts 1-4 seconds depending on the number
of digits.
3.2 Temperature protection of RF power amplifier
RF power amplifier is protected against overheating. The power of transmitter is lowered step by
step if the inner temperature exceeds certain levels as shown below.
Temperature inside a modem
Carrier power
Over 75°C
25 W
80°C
20 W
85°C
10 W
90°C
0 W (transmitter OFF)
When the ambient temperature is under 30°C and transmitter duty cycle does not exceed 40%,
the temperature inside the modem does not exceed the trigger level.

SATELLINE-EASy Pro 35W
User Guide v.1.4
17
The internal temperature is measured in the beginning of every transmission and at once when
modem cools down. The carrier power increases with falling temperature so that at 88°C carrier
power goes to 10W, at 83°C to 20W, at 78°C to 25W and at 73°C the modem operates again
at the full 35W carrier power.
3.3 Protection of current
In case of a bad antenna impedance matching the current consumption of the Power Amplifier
may be too high. For this reason the maximum current is limited to 12 A. If the current tends to
increase over 12 A, the automatic power control decreases the power level until the current drops
under 11.5 A. LCD indicates the actual power level of the transmitter. A new transmission starts
always with the nominal power level. The power control scheme is applied only when the nominal
power level is 35 W.

4SERIAL INTERFACE
The radio modem is referred to as DCE (Data Communication Equipment) whereas the PC is
referred to as DTE (Data Terminal Equipment). SATELLINE-EASy Pro 35W includes a 8 pin ODU
which contains all the connections required to establish communication between the radio
modem, acting as the DCE, and the PC, acting as the DTE.
All EMC-requirements set forth by authorities have been taken into account in the design of the
radio modem. The radio modem user is thereby not required to take any special actions
regarding EMC-shielding (of the radio modem).
The radio modem has one serial port, Port 1 which complies with the RS-232 standard.

Description of pins:
•RD = Receive Data. Output of the data received from the radio modem to the DTE.
•TD = Transmit Data. Input of the data to be transmitted from the DTE to the radio modem.
•CTS = Clear To Send.
•RTS = Request To Send.
•MODE = operational mode. When the MODE-line is connected to ground (GND), the
radio modem enters the Programming Mode,which is used to change the settings of the
radio modem (i.e. configuration, set-up). If the MODE-line is not connected, the radio
modem will enter the Data Transfer Mode, in which data can be transmitted and received.
The Programming Mode is used only when installing a radio modem and changing the
operational parameters of a network. Normally the radio modem is always in the Data
Transfer Mode.
•GND = both the negative pole of the operating voltage and the signal ground.
