Introduction

The iPM-1 is a WEB Based Mic op ocesso -cont olled unit. It p ovides monito ing of Fo wa d and Reve se RF

Powe of an RF T ansmitte , VSWR, PTT Line State and the COR output of a adio eceive . An output is also

p ovided to activate the T ansmitte 's PTT Line manually via the web page o automatically eve y hou .

Othe featu es include:

•P og amming using a standa d web b owse di ectly o ove LAN/WAN

• Use p og ammable ala m set points

◦High RF Powe

◦Low RF Powe

◦High VSWR

•1 Relay Output (t ips on any ala m)

•Passwo d Secu ed

•Powe and Ala m LEDs

•System Log

System requirements

1) EMR Model # 2491/T2 Powe Senso fo the f equency band desi ed.

2) EMR Model # CO8801A-PP-240 Powe Senso Cable.

3) Connection to a LAN/WAN o a C ossove Cable.

4) A standa d Web B owse .

5) 12 to 15 Vdc powe Supply.

etting started

Many of the iPM-1's featu es a e dependent upon the use ’s pa ticula situation. This documentation sta ts by

cove ing featu es that a e common to most use s.

It is assumed the installe has basic knowledge of IP and RF systems and the unit is to be installed to a VHF

Repeate at a Radio Site with Inte net access via an on site LAN. Also, the Accesso y Connecto has been p e-wi ed

(see Pg. 24, “Installation” section).

IMPORTANT! IF THE PTT LINE IS CONNECTED TO THE TRANSMITTER, TEMPORARILY DISCONNECT IT FROM THE

ACCESSORY CONNECTOR TO PREVENT INADVERTENTLY KEYIN THE TRANSMITTER UNTIL THE UNIT IS PRO RAMMED

CORRECTLY.

Befo e p og amming the iPM-1 you will need the following info mation f om you netwo k system administ ato :

1) Static IP Add ess and Sub Net Mask.

2) Gateway Add ess.

3) DNS Se ve IP Add esses (2 each).

4) Outgoing mail se ve (SMTP) not equi ing SSL and Po t numbe .

5) F om Email add ess, Use Name & Passwo d.

6) Up to 5 Email Add ess to eceive ala m notifications..

Programming the iPM-1 Power Monitor

Apply powe to the unit.

The iPM-1 is enti ely setup and cont olled f om a web b owse . The p efe ed method is to connect di ectly between

the IPM-1 and a compute using a c ossove cable on the bench befo e installing the unit in the field.

The iPM-1's default IP Add ess is set at 192.168.3.250. This will equi e that the compute used fo access has it's

IP add ess set to the same subnet (192.168.3.10, fo example).

Once connected via the C ossove Ethe net cable, load the web b owse and navigate to http://192.168.3.2 50 to

access the web page.

You will be p ompted fo a use name and passwo d (see Fig. 1).

Ente admin fo both the use name and the passwo d. Then click “OK”.

You will see the following sc een (see Fig. 2).

To the left you will see the links to the following pages. With a b ief desc iption as follows:

Home

This is the main page used to view the RF Powe Fo wa d/Reve se eadings, VSWR Reading, Powe & VSWR

Ala m, COR and PTT States. Also Cha ts of Fo wa d/Reve se Powe and VSWR of the last 24 Readings (with Time

and Date) of the Powe Senso .

Power Sensor & Test PTT Setup

This page is fo ente ing setup info mation fo ala m set points, f equency, type of t ansmitte , enabling/disabling

ala m, PTT Test, PTT and COR Sense.

IP Setup

This page is fo ente ing setup info mation fo the IP add ess, Subnet Mask, Gateway, DHCP & DNS. Also Email

info mation, setting the Real Time Clock and changing the admin passwo d.

View Log

This page will display the system Log of events.

We will assume you wish to have the following setup:

IP Add ess: 192.168.100.200 F om Email Add ess: [email protected]

Sub Net: 255.255.255.0 Email Se ve : sma thost.xyz.com

Gateway Add ess: 192.168.100.1 Email Po t: 25

DNS Se ve #1: 208.200.23.10 Use Name: [email protected]

DNS Se ve #1: 208.200.23.20 Passwo d: q1234T

Email to: [email protected]

To continue with the setup p ocess click on IP Setup.

Ensu e that DHCP Se ve is disabled.

Now ente the IP Add ess, Subnet & Default Gateway info mation into the Static IP Address Setup table (Fig. 3).

Now click the Submit button to ente .

You will notice that the page did not eload into the b owse (see Fig. 4).

Since the new IP Add ess you ente ed is in a diffe ent g oup you must now change the IP add ess of you compute ,

In this example change it to 192.168.100.10.

Now ente the new IP Add ess into the b owse , you will be p ompted fo the use name and passwo d again (see

Fig 5). You will now be back at the home page. Click on the IP Setup link to etu n to the setup page and ente the

DNS info mation (see Fig. 6) and click Submit.

Now ente in the Email Info mation (see Fig. 7) and click Submit.

Assuming that you have access to the 192.168.100.xxx LAN, you may now connect the iPM-1 and you compute to

the LAN fo testing the email. Do not fo get to set up the compute fo the LAN (If not, skip to setting the Real Time

Clock on the following page).

If you do not have access (i.e. the LAN is at a diffe ent location) the following will have to be pe fo med at the

installation site.

Test the email settings by selecting “1” f om the selection field next to the “Test Email” submit button (see Fig. 8).

If the test was successful, a message is displayed (see Fig. 9).

If the email failed, a message is also displayed (see Fig. 10).

Ente the GMT Time and Date. In the example below (Fig 11), the time is 17:00:09 and the Date is 08/02/2012. At

this time do not enable NIST Sync (this is best done once you have the unit in se vice). Next, select – o + and the

hou s diffe ent f om GMT and whethe o not Daylight Savings Time is obse ved. Then click the Submit button.

Note: This is a static web page. The time displayed is when the page was loaded.

Ente a new passwo d in the text box field (see Fig 12). It must be between 5 and 10 cha acte s. Then click the

Submit button.

Note: The User Name is always “admin” in lower case, and the password is case sensitive.

Now click on the Powe Senso & Test PTT Setup to view the page.

You will be p ompted fo a use name and passwo d (see Fig. 1). Ente admin fo the use name and the new

passwo d. Then click “OK”.

The Powe Senso & Test PTT Setup page can now be viewed.

It is assumed that this unit is to be installed to a VHF Repeate and that the installing technician has identified and

p e-wi ed the accesso y cable fo PTT, PTT Sense & COR Sense (see Fig. 17 and Fig. 37). Auto Test (key the

t ansmitte eve y hou to test) is also desi ed.

In this example, the PTT line equi es a TTL Low fo T ansmitting and the COR goes high when active.

Fi st, we will configu e the PTT Test Setup table.

Since the PTT line equi es a low to t ansmit, click on Hi in the P og am Output Table “Default State”. Also, enable

the featu e. Since auto test is desi ed, click “Y” unde Auto test. Set the Time Out Time to 5 Seconds (see Fig 13).
