Setting up the Codan STANAG 5066 Stack


Setting up the modem interfaceThe modem interface defines the connection between the 3112 HF Data Modem and the Codan STANAG 5066 Stack in the PC. This physical connection can be made using an Ethernet port or a serial COM port. The modem interface is defined on the Config tab in the STANAG 5066 Stack Control software.

Setting up an Ethernet connection

A physical Ethernet connection can be made between the modem and the PC, directly using a crossover Ethernet cable, or indirectly via a DHCP server using a straight Ethernet cable. For information on making this physical connection between the modem and the PC see Installation and setup in the HF Data Modem 3112 User Guide.

To set up an Ethernet connection:

1 Connect the modem to the PC (see Installation and setup in the HF Data Modem 3112 User Guide).

1 Select the Config tab.

1 In the Modem Interface frame, select Ethernet.

1 Enter the IP address of the modem in the IP Address field.

1 Enter the base port of the modem in the Base Port field.

1 Click on Apply or OK to save this information to the Codan STANAG 5066 Stack.

NOTE

The IP address and base port of the modem can be read from the Remote Control menu in the 3112 HF Data Modem. For information on navigating through the menu structure in the modem see Operating the modem in the HF Data Modem 3112 User Guide.



Setting up a serial COM port connection

A physical serial connection can be made between the modem and the PC using a synchronous or asynchronous serial connection to the modem, and serial connections for transceiver control and modem control. For information on making these physical connections between the modem and the PC, and setting the communication requirements for the COM ports see Installation and setup in the HF Data Modem 3112 User Guide.

To set up a serial connection:

1 Connect the modem to the PC (see Installation and setup in the HF Data Modem 3112 User Guide).

1 On the Config tab, Modem Interface frame, select Serial.

1 Select the COM port from each drop list that corresponds to the physical connection between the connector on the modem and the COM port on the PC.




Setting up the stack interfaceThe stack interface defines the STANAG address for the node. This address may be arbitrarily assigned, however a plan for all STANAG addresses within the HF data communication network should be established by your system administrator prior to setting up any node. The stack interface is set up on the Config tab in the STANAG 5066 Stack Control software.

The STANAG address is used by the Codan STANAG 5066 Stack to direct HF data communications. The Codan STANAG 5066 Stack can be operated with or without ALE. ALE is used if the transceivers are scanning prior to the exchange taking place. The stack uses the STANAG address with the associated ALE address information to automate the transfer of data between stations. If ALE is not used, nodes must be set to the same channel prior to the exchange taking place. The stack uses the STANAG address to direct the transfer of data to the specified node only, even though other nodes may be set to the same channel.

To set up the stack interface:

1 Select the Config tab.

1 In the Stack Interface frame, enter the STANAG address for the node in the STANAG Address field.


NOTE For information on using ALE see page 27, Setting up ALE operation.



Setting up ALE operationALE operation is determined by whether or not the transceiver is scanning at the time a data exchange is initiated. If the transceiver is scanning and ALE address information is assigned to the STANAG address, the Codan STANAG 5066 Stack uses this information to control the modem and transceiver.

ALE address and ALE/CALM network information is assigned to the STANAG address for each node via the ALE tab in the STANAG 5066 Stack Control software. This information may be exported to a file, which may be transferred between nodes, then imported into the ALE tab at another STANAG node.

To set up the Codan STANAG 5066 Stack for ALE operation:

1 Select the ALE tab.

1 In the My ALE frame, enter the self address of 3112 HF Data Modem at your node in the Address field.

NOTE

If the transceiver is set to a channel at the time that the data exchange is initiated, the STANAG 5066 Stack ignores the ALE address information and sends the data to the specified node using the selected channel.

CAUTION

If you enter an ALE address and network against one STANAG address, you must enter the corresponding information for all of the STANAG addresses in the Other ALE list.

CAUTION Codan recommends that you select Return to Scan for ALE operation.

NOTEThe address of the modem should be different from the address of the Codan HF transceiver at your node.



1 In the My ALE frame, enter the name of the ALE/CALM network that you want to use for data exchanges in the Network field.

1 Select Return to Scan.

1 In the Other ALE list, enter the ALE address information for the other nodes against the corresponding STANAG address.

1 Click on Apply or OK to save the ALE address information to the Codan STANAG 5066 Stack.

NOTEThe address may be up to 15 numeric and/or upper-case characters with no spaces.

CAUTION

This network must be the same for all nodes in the HF data communication network, and must also be programmed into the Codan HF transceivers.

NOTE

The network name may contain numeric and upper-case characters and spaces. It cannot contain special characters, for example, $, &, - etc.

CAUTION

You should confirm that the STANAG addresses are consistent with the STANAG addresses entered in the Contacts Book in HF Express.

NOTEInclude your ALE address information and STANAG relationship in the Other ALE list.



Exporting ALE address informationThe information contained in the Other ALE list may be exported to a .csv file for transfer to other nodes. This ensures consistency of STANAG and ALE address information across your HF data communication network.

To export the Other ALE list to a file:


1 Click on Export.

1 Navigate to the folder in which you want to save the file.

If you want other nodes to access this file, save the .csv file to the FTP folder in the HF Express installation folder, for example:

C:\Program Files\Codan\HF Express\

1 Change the filename, if required.

1 Click on Save.

Importing ALE address informationYou can import ALE address information into the Other ALE list. The information must be contained within a .csv file. This file is automatically created when an Other ALE list is exported, or it may be created in Microsoft® Excel.

To import a .csv file into the Other ALE list:


1 Click on Import.

1 Navigate to the folder in which the .csv file is located, then select it.

1 Click on Open.

The Other ALE list is populated with the information from the file.



1 Check that the information in the Other ALE list has imported correctly from the file.

1 Check that the network specified for all nodes in the Other ALE list is the same as the network specified in the My ALE frame.

1 Click on Apply or OK to save the ALE address information to the Codan STANAG 5066 Stack.



Setting up non-ALE operationALE operation is determined by whether or not the transceiver is scanning at the time a data exchange is initiated. If the transceiver is set to a channel at the time that the data exchange is initiated, the Codan STANAG 5066 Stack ignores any ALE address information assigned to the STANAG address and sends the data to the specified node using the selected channel.

To set up the STANAG 5066 Stack for non-ALE operation:


1 In the My ALE frame, leave the Address and Network fields blank.

1 Check that Return to Scan is not selected.

1 Leave the Other ALE list blank.

1 Click on Apply or OK to save the information to the Codan STANAG 5066 Stack.

NOTEIf you do not intend to use ALE, you do not have to enter any information into the Other ALE list.



Setting the initial data rate and interleaverThe Codan STANAG 5066 Stack controls HF data communication between nodes, however it requires a starting point for the initial connection. Beyond this, if DRC is enabled, the stack controls the selection of data rate and interleaver for the duration of the session. The initial data rate and initial interleaver are set up on the Modem tab.

To set up the initial data rate and interleaver:

1 Select the Modem tab.

1 Select the initial data rate that you want to use from the drop list.

The data rates from which you can select depend upon the selected waveform.

1 Select the length of interleaver required to establish communication.

The interleavers from which you can select depend upon the selected initial data rate.


NOTEYou should select the highest known rate on which communication with the remote node has been successful.

NOTEThis initial data rate is ignored when the initial rate selection method is set to Use LQA (MIL-STD-188-141B option only).

NOTEIf the maximum interleaver length is set to SHORT, the initial interleaver must also be set to SHORT.



Setting up data rate controlWhen your HF data communication network consists entirely of 3112 HF Data Modems, DRC should be set to Enabled. When enabled, the STANAG 5066 Stack takes control of changing the data rate and interleaver length according to the channel conditions. If you have to communicate with a particular item of equipment that operates on a set of data rates that does not fall within those allowed for the selected waveform, you should disable DRC and select the data rate that you need to use from the Initial Data Rate drop list. The operation of DRC is set up on the Modem tab.

To set up the data rate control:


1 Select whether you want DRC to be enabled or disabled during sessions.


CAUTIONIf you disable DRC, check that the initial data rate and initial interleaver are suitable for your needs.



Setting up the maximum interleaver lengthThe interleaver is a process used by the modulator and demodulator in the 3112 HF Data Modem to improve performance under fading conditions. The maximum interleaver length is set on the Modem tab. The default maximum interleaver length is LONG (optimised for file transfer).

To set the maximum interleaver length:


1 Select the maximum interleaver length that you want to use from the drop list.

The length that you can select depends upon the length set for the initial interleaver, which is dependent on the initial data rate.

If you want to optimise chat exchanges, set SHORT, which provides faster turnaround times.

If you want to optimise file transfer, set LONG, which provides optimal performance.


CAUTIONThe maximum interleaver length must be the same on any STANAG nodes that want to communicate with each other.

NOTE The initial interleaver must be set to SHORT if the maximum interleaver is set to SHORT.



Initial Rate Selection Method

Sets the algorithm that the Codan STANAG 5066 Stack uses to select the initial data rate for communication with another node.

Use LQA uses a pre-determined look-up table that defines an initial data rate and interleaver length for given LQA information provided by the transceiver (MIL-STD-188-141B option only).

Use History uses the data rate and interleaver length from the last successful transmission to a specific remote node, or reverts to the initial rate and interleaver settings if the conditions have deteriorated (MIL-STD-188-141B option only).

Manual uses the initial data rate and interleaver length specified above. This setting is recommended if your Codan HF transceiver does not have the MIL-STD-188-141B option installed.

Data Rate Control Sets whether or not the stack takes control of changing the data rate and interleaver length according to the channel conditions.

NOTE If DRC is disabled, then the stack continues to use the initial data rate.

Max. Interleaver Length

Sets the maximum length of interleaver permitted for the communication. If you want to optimise chat communication, set SHORT, which provides faster turnaround times. If you want to optimise file transfer, set LONG, which provides optimal performance. The length that you can select depends upon the length set for the initial interleaver.

NOTE The maximum interleaver length must be the same on any nodes that want to communicate.

Modem LBT Sets whether or not the modem listens on a channel to determine if it is vacant before transmitting on the channel.

6 Troubleshooting

Table 23: Troubleshooting

Symptom Action

Status of modem on Status tab is Off line.

Check the physical connections between the PC, transceiver and the modem.

Check the IP address/COM port allocations for the modem and stack.

Reset the modem.

The transceiver starts scanning when I restart the STANAG 5066 Stack, even though the Auto Resume Mode entry in the transceiver is set to None.

On the ALE tab, de-select Return to scan.

Chat text is not delivered to the remote node or file transfers are not successful within the timeout period.

If you are using an ALE system, check that the link between the transceivers has been established correctly.

If you are using a non-ALE system, check that the transceivers are set to the same channel.

If channel conditions are poor, it may not be possible to send and receive chat text and file transfers.

I send a chat string to a specific node, which it receives, but I do not receive a confirmation even though the transceivers are obviously in an ALE link and communicating.

Check that the STANAG address for your node is identical in all instances in HF Express and the Codan STANAG 5066 Stack.
