Infrastructure Configuration for the Astro IV&D Digital Radio
In order for the ACE3600 RTU to communicate over the ASTRO IV&D infrastructure (6.4 or
later) using the XTL5000/XTL2500 digital radio, the infrastructure must be properly
configured using the UCM (User Configuration Manager) tool.
Note: If configuring a border router or any firewall within the CEN (Customer Enterprise
network), make sure that the ACE3600's MDLC over IP UDP port number 2002 is enabled for
inbound and outbound messages.
Note: In the UCM Radio User Data Settings tab, be sure to set the IP address as Static, to
enable Generate ICMP and Source Address Checking, and the Ready timer set to 10 seconds.
RTU Port Configuration for the Astro IV&D Analog Trunked Radio
To enable MDLC communication using Astro XTL5000/XTL2500 radios, use the ACE3600
STS site configuration utility to configure the ACE3600 RTU port (either on-board serial or
plug-in port) connected to the radio. For more information, refer to the IP Communications
chapter of the ACE3600 STS Advanced Features manual.
In the General tab, set the Protocol Type to ASTRO 25 and set the System & ID
to 1.
In the 700/800 Failsoft tab, data only subscribers should set Failsoft Type to
disabled. (There is no data service unless the subscriber is affiliated to a wide-
area trunking site.)
In the Talkgroup tab, set the radio talkgroup value in hexadecimal. Consult your
radio system administrator for the talkgroup information.
(Recommended) In the Preferred Sites tab, set the status of the first record to
None. (This means that data only subscribers are not locked into preferred sites.)
In the Zone tab, set the Zone to the desired zone name (e.g. ZONE1).
In the Channels tab, set the Channel to the name which will be displayed on the
radio screen (if the radio is Model II or III).
Select the Personality type of that channel.
Specify the Personality # of that channel.
Specify the Talkgroup # of that channel.
