Web-cam software application

located on the remote site PC.

Second, key press information is

efficiently exchanged between

the sites using a client/server

pair in the form of LabView™

executables. Third, two-way

audio signals are sent over the

network between the remote

site and central command site.

Benefits of a Remote System

Monitoring Application

Remote system monitoring

provides numerous benefits. It

makes troubleshooting and

maintaining optimal perform-

ance of the user’s communica-

tions systems easy and cost

effective by using readily avail-

able off-the-shelf software and

consumer electronics along

with the remote site control and

central command site applica-

tions available at no charge.

From the central command

site, commands can be sent to

the remote site control applica-

tion to identify necessary

adjustments or narrow in on

system failures to identify spe-

cific maintenance needs.

Unnecessary trips to the remote

location are eliminated.

The PCs used with the system

can easily be upgraded to accom-

modate future needs. Since the

PC uses the standard Microsoft

Windows operating system,

setup is simple and familiar and

support is widely available.

Remote maintenance solutions

are available using existing capa-

bilities within Windows; the sys-

tem is fully recoverable from

unexpected power loss.

TI-CO’s interoperable

antenna system is

designed to complement inter-

connect transmission systems

during critical incidents. This

tactical antenna enables first

responders from different agen-

cies to communicate seamlessly

while using one common

antenna. The tri-band coupler

supplied contains ports to con-

nect VHF, UHF, and 800 MHz

transmission devices to the

intelligent interconnect system,

eliminating the need to set up

multiple antennas. An optional

coupler for the aviation band is

also available. This ground-plane

independent, rugged discone

antenna is extremely broad-

banded and the no- tool setup

takes just minutes. The antenna

covers from 106 to 1550 MHz at

<2:1 and will easily handle up

to 150 watts per transmitting

device. System includes tri-band

coupler, low-loss cable, feedlines,

and connectors. Options include

a rugged black Pelican® carrying

case, aviation band coupler, and

a tripod for mounting. Visit

Avoid unsoldered braided

coaxial cables and minimize

flexing if used.

 Ensure that plating solutions

are not contaminated and do

not use excessive “brighten-

ers” that significantly decrease

conductivity.

 Make sure that surface finish is

smoothed to 0.4 mm or better.

 Select PC boards that use

rolled, annealed copper foil

rather than electro-deposit

copper foil.

Proper low passive intermod-

ulation devices and installation

procedures will help you reduce

the effects of passive intermodu-

lation in your systems.
