TECHNICAL NOTES MT-4 Radio Systems TN652 CI-RC-4M-G2 Multiple Link Controller The CI-RC-4M-G2 Multiple Link Controller provides control capability for up to four receiver / transmitter pairs in an MT-4E repeater radio system. The CI-RC-4M-G2 controller provides the following features: • interconnection (LVDS Serial Data routing, COR-PTT routing, Audio routing) of up to four receiver and four transmitter modules in any configuration (repeater, repeater with links, crossband systems, etc.). • four-way analog audio bridge allowing analog to digital and digital to analog conversions with up to four pairs of radios (with adjustable audio levels). • multiple CTCSS tones and NAC codes may be selected to operate each connection between receivers and transmitters (up to seven CTCSS/NAC for each link). • DTMF control of receiver to transmitter links. • setting of receiver priorities. • transmitter channel switching based on received CTCSS or NAC. • auxiliary E&M connection. • acknowledge tones for each transmitter on DTMF disable / enable. • custom jumperable Repeat Disable line for controlling analog bridging (links) and E&M connections. • current draw of 8 mA to 72 mA dependant on system configuration (17 mA to 27 mA without audio bridging). • 2 independent general purpose outputs that can be controlled by NAC, CTCSS or DTMF (open collector 750 mA / 30 Vdc max). The MT-4E receiver and transmitter modules all plug into the CI-RC-4M-G2 repeater controller via cables that plug into the RJ45 jacks on the front panel of all the modules. The CI-RC-4M-G2 comes with eight different cable lengths to plug into the eight repeater receiver and repeater transmitter modules. If the system only uses some of the cables, the other cables can be kept for future system expansion or as spare cables. The CI-RC-4M-G2 is 19” rack mountable in 1 RU of rack space.

A female DB25 connector on the back of the subrack (J12) can be used for connectioning to the CI-RC-4M-G2 using a standard straight-through male-to-male DB25 cable. The A-PNL-AUX96-3 auxiliary connector can also be used to connect to the CI-RC-4M-G2, as shown in Figure 2. The information in brackets is the function that uses that particular connection. For example, if you are using CTCSS tones, the Rx Disc O/P must be connected. The diagram only shows connections for Receiver and Transmitter A. CI-RC-4M-G2 MULTIPLE LINK CONTROLLER

TECHNICAL NOTES MT-4 Radio Systems TN652 CI-RC-4M-G2 Multiple Link Controller Multiple Link Controller Programming: The CI-RC-4M-G2 multiple link controller is software programmable using the MLCS (Multiple Link Controller Software). The MLCS allows flexible programming options for the radio system. A type A to 5 pin mini-type B USB cable is used to connect the USB port of the computer to the USB port on the front panel of the controller. The System Settings and Receiver / Transmitter Links windows are shown in Figure 3.
Figure 3: Sysytem Settings and Receiver / Transmitter Links
The Receiver / Transmitter Links window allows for a wide variety of complex repeater configurations using a link configuration grid. The grid uses color coding to indicate different connection settings.
