Softkey Type Description
Listbox
For transceivers this softkey is always en-
abled.
1. Press softkey 'OpMode'.
2. Select 'Robust'’ or 'RS_IRP' from listbox.
3. Press 'ENT' to confirm.
The new selection is now effective.
There are two operation modes that can be
configured:
• Robust mode – provides higher reliability
at the expense of throughput. This mode
synchronizes the radios on the air network
with each sending of data.
• RS-IRP mode (RS_IRP) – similar to the
performance mode, but ensures compati-
bility with the RS-IRP protocol at the ex-
pense of performance.
Restrictions:
The RS_IRP mode cannot be selected/de-se-
lected via MMI, i.e. the RS_IRP mode must be
defined in the mission configuration with the
help of R&S RNMS3000.
The radio being the time reference unit (TRU)
in the network must be "visible" (radio commu-
nication possible) to all other radios belonging
to the network. Please refer to the relevant
documentation on how to configure a radio as
TRU in an air network.
