Sync Best Practices and Considerations
Up to two CB2 BaseStations, or a CB2 BaseStation and a separate CrewCom system, can be
synchronized to co-exist when collocated. Pliant recommends the following best practices and
considerations for setting up sync.
The SYNC port on the rear of the CB2 BaseStation allows it to receive and use a sync source from
another CB2 BaseStation or from a separate CrewCom system.
Important: Two CB2 BaseStations can sync RF and link audio (if desired); however, a
CB2 BaseStation can only receive sync from a separate CrewCom system's CrewNet
port.
If possible, avoid powering the sync source system off and on while other connected systems are in
operation. Upon powering the sync source back on, the receiving system’s Radio Packs (RPs) will
experience a brief disruption of audio for approximately 1–2 seconds while sync is re-established.
l
When possible, plug sync connection into both systems prior to powering on those systems.
l
When syncing systems, it is critical that each system be configured within certain parameters. If
the sync source is a separate CrewCom system, the CrewCom system operator should use the
CB2 BaseStation's System Configuration Menu to coordinate hopping patterns and frequency
bands between systems. See "System Configuration Menu" on page 49 for more information.
o
In CrewCom, once hopping patterns and radio band have been set for the systems, the
Radio Packs will require a re-pair to their respective Control Unit.
o
With CB2, if radio band is adjusted, the RPs will require a re-pair to their respective CB2.
Adjusting CB2 hopping patterns does not require a re-pair.
l
For optimal spectrum management, determine the locations of one systems' antenna in relation to
the other. One system's antenna should be as far from the other system as their application needs
will allow.
l
The SYNC port's left and right LEDs will be green when the connection is functioning properly.
When the sync connection has a problem, the left LED will be red. If no sync connection is
detected, both LEDs will be off.
