Clear-Com TEMPEST 2400 - Seamless Roaming; Pre-Requisites

68 Tempest®2400 2-Channel Wireless Intercom System
Seamless Roaming
Tempest Seamless Roaming is a powerful feature that allows a BeltStaon to automacally seek-out and move to a dierent
BaseStaon than the one it is currently on, with no user intervenon. This feature can provide increased coverage area,
and system exibility for those users who need it. Because all of the roaming decision making takes place within the
BeltStaon, individual BeltStaons can be set to roam or not to roam, and programmed to BaseStaons they desire to
roam between. Tempest Seamless Roaming is able to be used with any Tempest BaseStaon Mode (Normal, Shared, or
Split) provided that all the BaseStaons in a parcular “Roaming Group” are in the same mode. This secon seeks to give
a basic overview of Tempest Seamless Roaming. More complex examples and suggested implementaons will be covered
in the Tempest Roaming Guide.
Pre-Requisites
Hardware
• Two or more BaseStaons (Remote Transceiver oponal)
• All BaseStaons, BeltStaons, and Remote Transceivers must be equipped with radio version 1.18 or higher.
• Seamless Roaming is dependent on the ZSync technology. All BaseStaons in a “Roaming Group” must be connected
to the same ZSync source (either a Zero Sync Dongle or a Parallel Zero Sync Generator)
• All BaseStaons within a “Roaming Group” must have their Network Numbers in the same Network Number Group.
See the secon for Network Number Groups in this manual for more informaon.
Firmware
• All BaseStaons and BeltStaons must have system rmware version 3.0 or higher.
Verifying Sengs
BaseStaon
To verify Radio and Firmware versions within the BaseStaon, press MENU, select “BaseStaon Sengs,” scroll to “Tech
Menu” (proceed through warning), select “Diagnosc Mode,” and select “System Informaon.
• Radio Version - This needs to be 1.18 or higher
• PIC - This must be 3.00.00 or higher
• DSP Version - This must be 3.00.00 or higher
BeltStaon
To verify Radio and Firmware versions within the BaseStaon, Press MENU, select “Belt Sengs,” scroll to “Tech Menu”
(proceed through warning), select “Diagnoscs,” and select “Sys Informaon. Note: There is no PIC Version in the BeltStaon.
• Radio Version - This needs to be 1.18 or higher
• DSP Version - This must be 3.00.00 or higher
Remote Transceiver
Remote Transceivers are not required for Seamless Roaming implementaon, but if they are being ulized they MUST meet
the same radio pre-requisite of version 1.18 or higher that a BaseStaon requires. To verify, plug in the Remote Transceiver
to the rear of the BaseStaon, then press MENU, select “BaseStaon Sengs,” scroll to “Tech Menu” (proceed through
warning), select “Diagnosc Mode,” and select “System Informaon.
• Radio Version - This needs to be 1.18 or higher
