Seamless Roaming
Tempest Seamless Roaming is a powerful feature that allows a BeltStaon to automacally seek-out and move to a dierent
BaseStaon than the one it is currently on, with no user intervenon. 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
BeltStaon, individual BeltStaons can be set to roam or not to roam, and programmed to BaseStaons they desire to
roam between. Tempest Seamless Roaming is able to be used with any Tempest BaseStaon Mode (Normal, Shared, or
Split) provided that all the BaseStaons in a parcular “Roaming Group” are in the same mode. This secon seeks to give
a basic overview of Tempest Seamless Roaming. More complex examples and suggested implementaons will be covered
in the Tempest Roaming Guide.
Pre-Requisites
Hardware
• Two or more BaseStaons (Remote Transceiver oponal)
• All BaseStaons, BeltStaons, and Remote Transceivers must be equipped with radio version 1.18 or higher.
• Seamless Roaming is dependent on the ZSync technology. All BaseStaons in a “Roaming Group” must be connected
to the same ZSync source (either a Zero Sync Dongle or a Parallel Zero Sync Generator)
• All BaseStaons within a “Roaming Group” must have their Network Numbers in the same Network Number Group.
See the secon for Network Number Groups in this manual for more informaon.
Firmware
• All BaseStaons and BeltStaons must have system rmware version 3.0 or higher.
Verifying Sengs
BaseStaon
To verify Radio and Firmware versions within the BaseStaon, press MENU, select “BaseStaon Sengs,” scroll to “Tech
Menu” (proceed through warning), select “Diagnosc Mode,” and select “System Informaon.
• 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
BeltStaon
To verify Radio and Firmware versions within the BaseStaon, Press MENU, select “Belt Sengs,” scroll to “Tech Menu”
(proceed through warning), select “Diagnoscs,” and select “Sys Informaon. Note: There is no PIC Version in the BeltStaon.
• 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 implementaon, but if they are being ulized they MUST meet
the same radio pre-requisite of version 1.18 or higher that a BaseStaon requires. To verify, plug in the Remote Transceiver
to the rear of the BaseStaon, then press MENU, select “BaseStaon Sengs,” scroll to “Tech Menu” (proceed through
warning), select “Diagnosc Mode,” and select “System Informaon.
• Radio Version - This needs to be 1.18 or higher
