3.1 Overview
R&S M3SR Series 4100 is a new generation of software radios. Its parameters can be con-
trolled both locally and remotely. For local control the radio can be delivered with a local
(built-in) control unit. The local control unit in combination with the radio front panel provides
the means to control and monitor the radio as a stand-alone tabletop unit.

In addition, an audio connector and a line connector are provided on the backplane of the
radio. These interfaces can be used for operations such as keying the radio (push to talk,
PTT). The backplane also contains data interfaces available for applying data e.g. for F1D
operation in Fixed Frequency mode (see sect. 3.7 Fixed Frequency) or other special opera-
tion modes (see sect. 4 Operation in Special Communication Modes).
