R&S^®ZS4400 Service and Maintenance Tool

The Service and Maintenance Tool R&S® ZS4400 is used for the R&S® M3SR family (Series 4400) of software defined radios.

The R&S® M3SR is a highly modular series of software-based radios that are deployed in air defense, navy and civil air traffic control missions.

Due to the software-based structure of the R&S® M3SR radio family and its components, it is possible to use the Service and Maintenance Tool R&S® ZS4400 in order to determine and log all essential features and configurations of an R&S® M3SR radio as well as of the Remote Control Unit R&S® GB4000C.

The convenient GUI of the R&S® ZS4400 gives the user the identification of the addressed radio immediately after link setup. A standard LAN connects the R&S® ZS4400 with the R&S® M3SR or within a LAN network.

The tool allows uploaded radio configurations to be downloaded to other radios. This procedure is called cloning and makes it possible to log and distribute the radio configuration, for example at selected sites or after servicing has been performed.

In addition, the R&S® ZS4400 allows software updates or applications to be downloaded to R&S® M3SR radios. A PIN is automatically queried in order to grant only authorized personnel access to the maintenance functions of the R&S® ZS4400. Entering the correct PIN authorizes the user to perform further operations.

The R&S® ZS4400 makes it possible to read out and log the activated device options.
