RND 100 Remote Network Management

Software to allow real-time monitoring of your PDR Data Radio Network

To further protect the assets connected to the PDR radio data network Radius provides the Radio Network Diagnostics tool RND 100 to protect the integrity of that system.

The RND 100 is a software tool, which works in conjunction with the PDR data radio to give the user complete control through a ’realtime’ overview of their entire radio network. Thus allowing the users to increase their system performance through;

Early warning of potential communication risks
Remote management of the communications network
Remote interrogation of network parameters
Online maintenance log
Remote site reconfiguration
Status of each repeating path in the network

Thus before a potential communication fault manifests itself, it can be easily identified and the relevant action taken.

Collects data from the radio traffic
The diagnostics work through the collection and display of non-intrusive data received along the ordinary data traffic in the PDR radio network. When a data telegram is transmitted through the network, extra information on the status of the network is collected and presented to the user.

Easy overview
If more than one PDR master is being used by the RND 100 then a top-level page displays a symbol for each master along with an Alarm Icon. Should there be any alarms within the network associated with the Master then the alarm will show the appropriate condition state. The user can then ‘click’ on the PDR master symbol and the entire network for that PDR will be displayed.

The network overview display is graphical and shows the position of the slave sites in relationship to the master and displays the radio links between sites, including all repeating hops. Each slave site has an associated alarm icon, which changes from green, through amber to red depending on the nature of the alarm. The display also shows the status and level of the radio signal strength between sites. Clicking on any of the icons brings up a window, which shows the current status for that slave radio. This window displays the following;

The radio station Name
The downlink RSSI level
The uplink RSSI level
The radio supply voltage
The radio battery back up voltage
The radio temperature

Self Configuring
The RND 100 is designed to be very simple to use and configure. The radio slaves are automatically populated as soon as the master radio receives a data telegram. Thus if radios are added to an existing network the RND 100 will automatically detect and display them. The user can upload the background display at any time and set the coordinates of the edges. The user can change the details of any slave radio within a separate self-populating able. Here the user can change radio station names as well as the coordinates. If the user drags a radio icon around the screen then the corresponding coordinates in the table are also changed.

Remote radio configuration possible
The PDR radio has an additional port that can be used for programming the unit and for collecting data regarding the performance of remote units. Via the RND 100 it is also possible to change the settings of a radio remotely via the radio communication network.
