Seamless Roaming
Tempest Seamless Roaming is a powerful feature that allows a BeltStati on to automati cally seek-out and move to a diff erent
BaseStati on than the one it is currently on, with no user interventi on. This feature can provide increased coverage area,
and system fl exibility for those users who need it. Because all of the roaming decision making takes place within the
BeltStati on, individual BeltStati ons can be set to roam or not to roam, and programmed to BaseStati ons they desire to
roam between. Tempest Seamless Roaming is able to be used with any Tempest BaseStati on Mode (Normal, Shared, or
Split) provided that all the BaseStati ons in a parti cular “Roaming Group” are in the same mode. This secti on seeks to give
a basic overview of Tempest Seamless Roaming. More complex examples and suggested implementati ons will be covered
in the Tempest Roaming Guide.
Pre-Requisites
Hardware
• Two or more BaseStati ons (Remote Transceiver opti onal)
• All BaseStati ons, BeltStati ons, and Remote Transceivers must be equipped with radio version 1.18 or higher.
• Seamless Roaming is dependent on the ZSync technology. All BaseStati ons in a “Roaming Group” must be connected
to the same ZSync source (either a Zero Sync Dongle or a Parallel Zero Sync Generator)
• All BaseStati ons within a “Roaming Group” must have their Network Numbers in the same Network Number Group.
See the secti on for Network Number Groups in this manual for more informati on.
Firmware
• All BaseStati ons and BeltStati ons must have system fi rmare version 3.0 or higher.
Verifying Setti ngs
BaseStati on
To verify Radio and Firmware versions within the BaseStati on, press MENU, select “BaseStati on Setti ngs,” scroll to “Tech
Menu” (proceed through warning), select “Diagnosti c Mode,” and select “System Informati on.
• Radio Version - This needs to be 1.18 or higher
• PIC - This must be 3.00.00 or higher
• DSP Version - This must be 3.00.00 or higher
BeltStati on
To verify Radio and Firmware versions within the BaseStati on, Press MENU, select “Belt Setti ngs,” scroll to “Tech Menu”
(proceed through warning), select “Diagnosti cs,” and select “Sys Informati on.
Note: There is no PIC Version in the BeltStati on.
• Radio Version - This needs to be 1.18 or higher
• DSP Version - This must be 3.00.00 or higher
Remote Transceiver
Remote Transceivers are not required for Seamless Roaming implementati on, but if they are being uti lized they MUST meet
the same radio pre-requisite of version 1.18 or higher that a BaseStati on requires. To verify, plug in the Remote Transceiver
to the rear of the BaseStati on, then press MENU, select “BaseStati on Setti ngs,” scroll to “Tech Menu” (proceed through
warning), select “Diagnosti c Mode,” and select “System Informati on.
• Radio Version - This needs to be 1.18 or higher
