Table 1: Front Panel Connectors

i.Send Power

Note: When connecting a power cable to the i.Send front panel 12 VDC power connector, the battery pack’s power switch is not in the circuit. The transmitter is powered on by connecting the power cable and powered off by disconnecting the power cable. To prevent damage to the transmitter, the power cable should be the last cable connected before using the transmitter and the first cable disconnected to shut down the transmitter.

The i.Send transmitter uses an internal switching type DC supply that converts input voltages in the 11.0 VDC to 14.4 VDC range to the internal voltages required by the transmitter. This range of acceptable input voltages allows the transmitter operation from a variety of sources such as the included battery pack and vehicle power. The overall power consumption of the transmitter is 10 Watts.

The i.Send transmitter can be powered using the battery pack alone, the battery pack with the charger attached, or the 12 VDC front panel connector.

▪ Battery Pack Alone: A fully charged battery pack will power the transmitter for approximately four hours. Turn on the battery pack’s power switch located on the right side of the transmitter to operate the unit using the battery pack. Turn off the battery pack’s power switch to shut down the transmitter.

▪ Battery Pack with Charger Attached: When DC power from the AC power supply (Battery Charger) or the Cigarette Lighter adapter is supplied to the battery pack using

its power connector, the battery will charge. While the battery is charging, the transmitter is also capable of operation. The transmitter will begin operation (in standby mode) when the battery pack’s power switch is turned on and will continue to operate until the power switch is turned off as long as the power supply or cigarette lighter adaptor continue to provide power to the battery.

▪ 12 VDC Front Panel Connector: When DC power is supplied directly to the front panel power connector, the transmitter will begin operation (in standby mode) immediately. Since there is no power switch in the circuit in this configuration, the transmitter will continue to operate until the power cable is disconnected.

Battery Pack The i.Send transmitter is equipped with a removable battery pack as shown in Figure 2 below.

Figure 2: Battery Pack

▪ To release the battery pack from the transmitter, slide the battery release to the rear and slide the battery pack to the right (as viewed from the front). The battery pack has an external tee machined into its mating end. This tee mates with an internal tee machined into the rear of the transmitter. To attach the battery pack to the transmitter, mate the internal and external tees and slide the battery pack to the left (as viewed from the front) until it clicks into place.

▪ The power switch is located on the side of the battery pack as shown in Figure 2 above. This power switch is functional when the transmitter is powered by the battery pack or by an external supply connected to the battery. This switch is not in the circuit when a power supply is connected to the 12 VDC connector on the front panel of the transmitter as shown in Figure 1 on page 12.

▪ A test button is located on the rear of the battery pack. When the test button is pressed, the LED meter indicates the level of battery charge remaining in the battery pack as shown in Figure 3 below.

Figure 3: Battery Meter

▪ The time to charge the battery is a function of the supply voltage and transmitter load.

o Charging a totally discharged battery using the AC power supply (nominal 11 VDC output) with the transmitter powered off requires approximately four hours.

o Charging a totally discharged battery using the AC power supply with the transmitter in standby mode (protocol and band selected, modulation enabled, RF output off) requires approximately six hours.

o The time required to charge a totally discharged battery with the RF output on is dependent on the transmitter settings.

o The time required to charge a fully discharged battery pack with the cigarette lighter adapter will vary since it is dependent on the supply voltage provided by the vehicle.

o The AC power supply is equipped with a dual color LED indicator as shown in Figure 4. When the transmitter is off, the LED indicates the charge state of the battery (red = charging, green = charged). However, when the transmitter is powered on, the battery’s charge state cannot be determined by the LED indicator which may be green or red.

Transmitter Software and Controller PC Setup

i.Send Transmitter Software The I.Send transmitter installation CD or self-extracting zip download contains the files necessary to install the transmitter GUI software on the target computer. The default folder containing the files after installation is C:\Program Files\Nome. Simply insert the CD or double-click on the self-extracting download and follow the prompts to install the software. Two programs are included:

▪ Nome: The Nome software is the control software used to configure and enable the transmitter. The Nome application allows you to set the protocol (technology), band, channel, and modulation characteristics of the transmitter. It also allows you to set the power level and enable or disable RF transmission.

▪ Yukon4k: The Yukon4k software is used to set the transmitter’s network configuration for either wired Ethernet or wireless 802.11 b/g Wi-Fi operation.

▪ Embedded Software: The Embedded software application is used to install new embedded software into the transmitter. Please see the i.Send Transmitter Upgrade Instructions topic on page 54.

i.Send Network Mode Selection The i.Send transmitter is capable of operating in a wired 10/100 BASE-T Ethernet configuration or a wireless 802.11 b/g configuration. When the transmitter powers up or boots, it checks to see if an Ethernet cable is connected to the Data RJ-45 connector on its front panel. If the cable is present, the transmitter communicates using the wired Ethernet connection. If the cable is not present, the transmitter communicates using the wireless 802.11 Wi-Fi connection. To change communication modes, the transmitter must be power cycled.

Transmitter Name and Default IP Addresses The transmitter’s default name is DRT4302SNXXXX where XXXX represents the transmitter’s serial number. For example, a transmitter with serial number 2175 would have the default name “DRT4302SN2175”.

The default IP addresses as shipped are:

▪ Wired Ethernet: 192.168.1.100

▪ Wi-Fi: 192.168.2.100

Wired Ethernet Control To use a wired Ethernet connection, verify that an Ethernet cable is connected to the Data connector on the front panel when the transmitter is powered on. If the cable is not connected on power up, the transmitter will select the Wi-Fi method for communicating.

The transmitter can be directly connected to a PC using the supplied Ethernet crossover cable or connected to a network or switch using a standard Ethernet patch cable. When connected directly to a PC, both the transmitter and PC must be configured to use a static IP address. The recommended static IP addresses are 192.168.1.100 for the transmitter and 192.168.1.99 for the PC.


In a wired Ethernet network, the transmitter can be configured to use DHCP (Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol) to automatically assign an IP address to the transmitter if a DHCP server is available on the network.

Wi-Fi 802.11 Control To use a Wi-Fi connection, verify that an Ethernet cable is NOT connected to the Data connector on the front panel when the transmitter is powered on. The Wi-Fi interface operates in an “ad-hoc” peer-to-peer configuration. It cannot be used in the Wi-Fi infrastructure mode. The Wi-Fi must be configured as a static IP address, it cannot be configured to use DHCP. The transmitter’s Wi-Fi can be manually configured to use a WEP key (Wired Equivalent Privacy) to encrypt communications.

Note: The transmitter’s Wi-Fi must be configured as a static IP address, it cannot be configured to use DHCP.

Set Modulation and RF After setting the protocol, band, channel, and overhead parameters, the modulation state, and output power levels must be set and the RF turned on to begin transmission.

▪ Modulation: The modulation mode has two states, Mod On and Mod Off. If the transmitter is set to the Mod Off state, it will transmit a CW signal. If the transmitter is set to the Mod On state, it will transmit a signal that mimics a WCDMA downlink. Clicking on the Mod button toggles between Mod On and Mod Off. The modulation can be toggled on and off while transmitting (RF On).


Figure 64: Click to Toggle Modulation On or Off

▪ RF Output Power: Adjacent to the RF button on the right is the Output Power field. Enter a value in the field or use the up and down arrows to select a value. The range is from –20 dBm (10 µW) to +21 dBm (.125 mW) in 1 dB steps. The output power can be adjusted while transmitting (RF On).

Figure 65: Set Output Power in dBm

▪ RF On: The RF On/Off button toggles the transmitter between the RF On and RF Off states. Once the output power is set, click the RF button to RF On to start transmitting. Click on the button again to RF Off to stop transmitting. The RF button is green when the RF output is off and purple when the RF output is on. It is not necessary to stop transmitting to adjust the output power or to toggle the modulation on and off. However, the RF must be off to adjust all other settings.

i.Send™ Transmitter Version 01.01.01 – 01.01.03 Upgrade Instructions

Introduction The i.Send version 01.01.01 software and firmware upgrade for the i.Send transmitter provides WCDMA technology support for the transmitter in addition to its GSM capabilities. The firmware upgrade and software update consists of three primary steps:

4. Extract the files in the Options.zip file to a folder on the PC, copy those files to a new folder named CopyOptionsToUnit, rename the Options.xml file, and upload those files to the transmitter using the wired Ethernet connection.

5. Run the Nome Software setup to access the Embedded Software installer and install the new firmware into the transmitter.

6. Install the Nome 01.01.03 transmitter control software on the PC to enable WCDMA and GSM transmission.

Obtain the Version 01.01.03 Software and Options Files

The version of the Embedded Firmware and the version of the Nome GUI software must be updated to operate the i.Send transmitter. The 01.01.01 through 01.01.03 versions of the Nome software are capable of working with the 01.01.01 Embedded Firmware.

Options.Zip File The Options.zip file is quite small (98 Kb) and will usually be sent to i.Send owners by email. A number of files are included in the Options.zip file including Options.xml files that are created specifically for individual transmitters by serial number.

i.Send Nome Software The i.Send Nome 01.01.03 software is available for download from the following location:

https://awapps.commscope.com/AEDDocportal/nav.aspx?cid=1586

The file name is isend_010103.exe

A password is required to run the installation. Please contact Andrew Invex.NxG Support ([email protected]) for the password. Please have the serial number of your transmitter available when you contact the support team.

Copy Options Files to the Transmitter 1. Extract the Options.zip file to a new folder on your C: drive.

2. Create a new folder on the C: drive named CopyOptionsToUnit. The folder does not have to be in the root of the C: drive but you will need to know the exact path to the folder.

3. Copy the following three files into the CopyOptionsToUnit folder:

▪ CopyOptionsToUnit.exe

▪ DRT4301InstallerUtilityDLL.dll

▪ The Options.XML file that matches the serial number of the transmitter. The serial number is located on the side of the transmitter as shown in Figure 67 on page 55. The

https://awapps.commscope.com/AEDDocportal/nav.aspx?cid=1586�



Options file name will indicate the serial number “Options_2052_20090323.xml”, for example. Once the file has been copied into the CopyOptionsToUnit folder, rename the options file to “Options.xml”.

Note: If the “Options_xxxx_YYYYMMDD.xml” file is not renamed to “Options.xml” and placed into the “CopyOptionsToUnit” folder, the upgrade will fail.

Figure 67: Location of i.Send Serial Number

4. Locate the i.Send transmitter that is to be upgraded and connect it to the PC using the wired Ethernet port on the front of the transmitter. The Wi-Fi connection cannot be used to perform this upgrade. The cross-connect Ethernet cable supplied with the transmitter must be used if it is directly connected to the PC. If a hub or switch is used, a standard Ethernet patch cable can also be used.

5. Open a Command Prompt window by selecting Run from the Windows Start menu. Enter cmd in the Open field and click the OK button.

Figure 68: Open A Command Prompt Window

6. Change directories to the CopyOptionsToUnit folder. The entire path is necessary. For example if the folder is located in the Temp folder on the C drive, the command would be “cd C:\Temp\CopyOptionsToUnit” followed by pressing the Enter key. See Figure 69 on page 56.


Figure 69: Copy Files to Transmitter

7. Ensure that the directory path is correct. On some systems, you may need to enter C: and press Enter for the path to appear correctly.

8. Enter the following command: CopyOptionsToUnit DRT4302SNXXXX (where XXXX represents the serial number of the unit and press the Enter Key. The location of the serial number on the transmitter is shown in Figure 67 on page 55. After executing the command, if no errors are reported as shown in Figure 70 below, the files have been transferred. If you encounter errors, check Ethernet connections and reboot the transmitter.

Figure 70: Run CopyOptionsToUnit Application to Copy Files


9. Type “Exit” to close the Command Prompt window.

Loading the Embedded Code 1. Browse to the location of the isend_010103.exe software that you downloaded as

instructed on page 54.

2. Double click on the file to run the self-extracting zip file to install the Nome software for the i.Send. You will be prompted for the password to unzip the file. Please contact Invex.NxG support ([email protected]) for the password.

3. Follow the instructions on the screen until you see the Select Components dialog with the software select buttons as shown in Figure 71 below.

Figure 71: Select Components Dialog with Software Select Buttons

4. Click on the Embedded Software button and select the transmitter from the list as shown in Figure 72 on page 58.

Figure 73: Select Components to Install Dialog

6. Click on the Next button to begin the installation of the Embedded Application to the transmitter. The Status bar will indicate the progress of installation.


Figure 74: Setup Status

7. When the Embedded File transfer is complete the Embedded File Transfer Complete dialog will appear as shown in Figure 75 below. Confirm that the message indicates that the File Transfer was completed successfully. Do not power down the transmitter at this time. The transmitter led will turn amber, then blue and alternate blue/green until the firmware is upgraded. DO NOT INTERUPT THIS PROCESS!!!! It could take up to 15 minutes. Click the Finish button to close the dialog. The transmitter will continue installing the embedded software and when it is complete when the LED turns solid green.

Figure 75: Embedded File Transfer Complete

8. Cycle the power to the transmitter once the LED turns solid green.


Updating the Nome Software In Step 2 on page 57, when the isend_010103.exe self-extracting was run it created a folder named isend_010103_Installation_Files.

1. Locate the setup.exe file in that folder and double-click to run the Nome Installation software. Alternately, you can just double-click on the i.Send_010103.exe file again to run the installer.

2. Follow the instructions on the screen until you see the Select Components dialog as shown in Figure 76 below.

Figure 76: Select Components Dialog with Software Select Buttons

3. Click on the Install Nome and Yukon4K button to install the Nome and Yukon4K applications.

4. Follow the on screen prompts to complete the installation.


Troubleshooting When a transmitter is connected to a network, routers, firewalls, antivirus, and other utilities may cause difficulties locating the transmitter on the network.

Locating a Transmitter on a Network In order to install or update the embedded software on a transmitter or to use the Nome software, the transmitter must be recognizable on the network so that the software on the controlling PC can “see” the transmitter. It is possible for the transmitter to be properly connected to the network but recognized by the Nome or Yukon4k software. One method of locating the transmitter is to Ping the transmitter on the network.

▪ To locate a transmitter using Ping, select the CMD function from the Windows Start menu.

Figure 77: Select the Windows Run Command

▪ Enter cmd into the Run dialog Open field.

Figure 78: Enter cmd and Click OK

▪ Press the OK button to open a Command Prompt window.

Figure 79: Type Ping and Press Enter


▪ Type Ping followed by a space and DRT4302SNxxxx (where xxxx represents the serial number of the transmitter) for example, “Ping DRT4302SN2175”. The Ping command is an Internet utility used to determine whether a particular IP address is reachable online by sending out a packet and waiting for a response. In this case, it sends a packet to the transmitter on the network and waits for a reply. The reply contains the IP address of the transmitter.

▪ Press the Enter key. In this case, it sends a packet to the transmitter on the network and waits for a reply. The reply contains the IP address of the transmitter, which can be entered in the Nome software.

Possible Causes that Prevent Locating the Transmitter ▪ PC Firewall blocking IP Address

▪ Antivirus software causing connection to fail

▪ Attempting to use Wi-FI when controller PC is still connected to wired LAN

▪ Attempting to connect with Wi-Fi when wired Ethernet cable is plugged into transmitter’s front panel.

▪ Programs shown in the following list have been reported to interfere when attempting to connect to the i.Send:
