RDS RT25-2 Quick Installation Manual

4.1 Establishing a First Communication with the RDS Encoder The RDS encoder should be configured via local port (port 1) before first use. Alternatively, the configuration can be made using the embedded website. The encoder comes initialized from the factory. The Ethernet is pre-configured in order to obtain IP address from DHCP. Thus, in the DHCP enabled environment, the first connection with the encoder can be established using a web-browser and typing the assigned IP address into the address field. See more details in section 3.1 of the documen ...

4.2.1 Finding out actual RDS encoder’s IP address Knowing of the RDS encoder’s IP address is necessary for its remote configuration. By default, in typical network, the RDS encoder obtains IP address automatically via DHCP function. Actual IP address can be determined from several sources, including front panel LCD display, Device Setup dialogue box in Magic RDS or your network router’s configuration website, section ‘DHCP, List of clients’. If the IP address is unknown or not assigned (indicated as ‘No LAN’ on t ...

Before getting on-air with the RDS signal, you will need to decide on the settings to be used. The following RDS services must be set as the first. Use the Windows control software and its GUI. For more experienced users or those without a Windows PC, any terminal programme or integrated web site can be used as well. 4.4.1 PI (Program Identification) Tip: The RT 25-2 RDS control software includes a wizard that calculates the PI automatically. This is very important information that enables the receiver to distinguish between countries, areas i ...

Two LED diodes are used to indicate operating status of the RDS encoder: Operation LED Pilot LED Status Start-up off on Initialization on off Firmware update in progress Operation · · · · · Normal operation - - - - - An error occurred (encoder’s hw failure) on Receiving data on some port on External pilot synchronization is active off Internal clock source is selected - - - - - Stereo encoder error - pilot tone present but does not meet the specification required. Switch the RDS encoder to internal clock source. 2.2 Rear Panel ETHERNET USB ...

To send dynamic data via the RDS it's very useful to link the RDS encoder with your broadcast automation system. This usually results in a possibility of sending commercials, actual song information, program announcements and more. Almost any broadcast system can be linked with the P132. The link may be either indirect or direct. 5.1 Indirect Link Default Windows control software for the RT25-2 RDS encoder is the rdsRT25-2. This application, including documentation and examples of use, can be downloaded from the Website, section Sof ...

2.1 Front Panel 2.1.1 Status LCD The LCD area is divided into two lines. The first line shows key RDS services which require quick access. These services are PS (incl. dynamic), PI, TP and TA. The second line shows the most important status values and RDS services in a loop. Depending on the configuration, some values may be omitted. For example if the internal clock source is set for the RDS subcarrier, the PILOT value is not showed. Some events may affect the order. For example if Radiotext changes, it's showed in the next cycle regardless of pre ...
