What is the GW_RSP25 Module?
The GW_RSP25 module enables GenWatch3 to monitor Common Air Interface
(CAI) compliant system control channels. CAI packets are received via serial,
TCP/IP or PPP connection to a digital transceiver or from a remote GW_RSP25
that is setup to rebroadcast CAI packets.
Each CAI packet source is maintained by a GW_RSP25 connection. The
GW_RSP25 graphical user interface (GUI) allows you to manage each
GW_RSP25 connection. The number of connections allowed within the
GW_RSP25 GUI is restricted by your GenWatch3 license.
EF Johnson Digital Transceiver
Radio
The radio needs to be an EF Johnson digital transceiver capable of outputting P25
control channel data. System monitoring requires a Topaz-enabled digital
transceiver. The EF Johnson RS-5300 and 53SL mobile radios are digital
transceivers.
Power
A standard EF Johnson power supply can be used to power the transceiver. To
ensure reliability, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) should be considered.
