Standard Accessories

Microphone

Required for test transmissions. Plugs into the user interface on the front panel. The microphone can be configured to transmit over the air or as line audio.

Applications Boards

E&M Applications Board

Provides TaitNet and E&M signalling together on a 25-way D-range.

Paging Interface Board

The Paging Applications Board makes it possible for the TB8100 to be used in POCSAG paging applications at 512, 1200 and 2400 baud. Modem or delay line operation is not provided, but the TBA101B is designed to interface to paging controllers with these functions.

Software Enabled Features

The TB8100 Software Feature Enabler is a software licensing system used to enable advanced features of the base station. Licenses are applied on a per-feature and per-reciter basis. Read more about TB8100 software feature upgrades.

Modules/Options

Change-Over Module

The TB8100 Change-over Module provides automated failure protection for the Tait TB8100 series of base station equipment.  The module provides the physical change-over mechanics, interfaces to external alarm components and termination points for remote audio connections.

An Installation Kit contains all the parts for the fitting and interconnecting of the coaxial relay, monitor module and power splitter.  The kit includes the coaxial relay, but not the frequency dependent items such as the power splitter.

Tone Remote

Available in single and dual configurations.

Features include alarm monitoring, voting tone generation and simple high-site control.

The tone remote interfaces either a 2-wire or 4-wire leased circuit to the TB8100 base station, and so enables a despatch console/desktop controller to control and monitor a remote base station.

The tone remote module is a 2U subrack designed to fit into a standard 19 inch rack. A simple 25-way cable provides all the connections, including DC power from each TB8100 reciter to each module.

Asynchronous Port Switches

Asynchronous Port Switches allow a single phone line to support up to 31 TB8100 base stations (one port is required for connection to local control).  This enables Service Kit access, remote access, monitoring and diagnostics, and automatic dial out to an Alarm Centre from any one of the connected base stations.

Coax Relay Assemblies

Coaxial/Antenna Relay with fittings and mounting brackets available for the TB8100 as standard and with a tone remote module.

Programming Accessories

Programming Kit

Contains service kit, CD and cable.

Programming Cable

Programming cable available separately.

Service Accessories
