.m .m .p .o .. MAIN MENU 1000 The MAIN Menu is the top level of the program from which you select the type of function that you wish to perform. All selections are made via the "Function Keys", labeled F1 thru F10, on your keyboard. Press the ESCape key to return to the MAIN Menu from any where in the program. After making a selection, you will be directed to similar menus and / or data entry screens for RF alignment or codeplug data. You must initially load data from a radio (or disk) via the F3 GET/SAVE function before you will be permitted to CHANGE or VIEW any codeplug data. Call Radius Product Services 800-356-1520 in Mt. Pleasant, Iowa for problems not covered in your Radio Service Software User's manual or your radio Service manual. .P MAIN MENU (cont) Function Key Descriptions: F1 - Additional information is available for every menu via the F1 HELP key. Specific help is also available for each field on all data entry screens. Generic help is available within any HELP screen via the MORE HELP function. F2 - SERVICE is a multi-level menu that permits access to radio ALIGNMENT and BOARD REPLACEMENT screens. Radius contains no internal alignment or tuning adjustments; all alignment is performed via the SERVICE screens. .P MAIN MENU (cont) A radio must be connected to your computer via the RIB before you will be permitted to access the SERVICE screens. All SERVICE screens access the codeplug directly; therefore, you do NOT have to read the codeplug data (via the GET/SAVE functions) before using the SERVICE screens. F3 - GET/SAVE is used to read codeplug data from a radio and/or retrieve an archived codeplug from a diskette or hard disk for editing purposes (via the CHANGE/VIEW function). GET/SAVE is also used to program edited codeplug data back into the radio or to create an archive file on a diskette (or hard disk). .P MAIN MENU (cont) F4 - CHANGE/VIEW is a multi-level menu that is used to change, view, or modify codeplug features and option configurations. All Radius codeplug parameters are classified as either RADIO-WIDE or CHANNEL related. CHANGE/VIEW permits access to each of these categories. Unlike the SERVICE function, a codeplug must be loaded into your computer's memory (via the GET/SAVE functions) before you can access the CHANGE/VIEW screens. You may CHANGE/VIEW an archive file without a radio connected. .P MAIN MENU (cont) F5 - A PRINT utility is available to produce permanent records of codeplug configurations and/or RF alignment settings. A printer is required and should be connected to your computer per your instruction manual. F6 - A FILE MAINTENANCE utility is available to create sub-directory paths, delete old archive files, restore archive files, and create new back-up files. F7 - Not Used.

Please refer to your computer user's manual for a complete description of directories and path names. .P CHANGE/VIEW 4000 CHANGE/VIEW is a multi-level menu that is used to change, view, or modify codeplug features and option configurations. All codeplug parameters are classified as either RADIO-WIDE or CHANNEL related. CHANGE/VIEW permits access to each of these categories. Unlike the SERVICE function, a codeplug must be loaded into your computer's memory (via the GET/SAVE functions) before you can access the CHANGE/VIEW screens. You may CHANGE/VIEW an archive file without a radio connected. .P CHANGE/VIEW (cont) Warning: CHANGE/VIEW does NOT actually modify the radio codeplug data, but instead it modifies a copy of the data retrieved from the codeplug (or archive file) via the GET/SAVE functions. After all CHANGE/VIEW modifications are completed, you MUST return to the GET/SAVE menu and PROGRAM the changes back into the radio or SAVE them to a new archive file. Otherwise the modifications will be lost when you turn off your computer. .P CHANGE/VIEW (cont) Function Key Descriptions: F2 - RADIO-WIDE Configuration is used to CHANGE/VIEW radio parameters and options that affect overall radio operation, such as scan options. F5 - MODE Configuration is used to CHANGE/VIEW channel specific information such as frequencies, squelch type, squelch codes and scan lists. .P CHANGE/VIEW (cont) F6 - PHONE MEMORY Configuration is used to CHANGE/VIEW a list of phone numbers which can be auto dialed via the SELECT button. F7 - SIGNAL SYSTEM Configuration is used to CHANGE/VIEW Signalling System parameters and options such as ID's, Pretimes, and Emergency operation. F9 - CALL LIST Configuration is used to CHANGE/VIEW Call List parameters such as ID's, Acknowledge Expected, and Strip PL. .P CHANGE/VIEW RADIO-WIDE CONFIGURATION 4200 RADIO-WIDE Configuration is used to CHANGE/VIEW radio parameters and options that affect overall radio operation. Warning: CHANGE/VIEW does NOT actually modify the radio codeplug data, but instead it modifies a copy of the data retrieved from the codeplug (or archive file) via the GET/SAVE functions. After all CHANGE/VIEW modifications are completed, you MUST return to the GET/SAVE menu and PROGRAM the changes back into the radio or SAVE them to a new archive file. Otherwise the modifications will be lost when you turn off your computer. .P TOT REKEY TIME 4201 The Time-Out-Timer Rekey Time is the amount of time that the user must wait to rekey after a timed-out transmission. This value can be turned OFF or set at 6.0 seconds. .P FORCED MONITOR 4202 Forced Monitor is the amount of time that the radio monitors a channel after being placed in forced monitor mode without any Tx/Rx channel activity. This value can be turned ON or OFF. When turned ON, Forced Monitor has a time value of 7.0 seconds. .P SERIAL NUMBER 4215 The radio Serial Number, which is stored in the codeplug, can be viewed but cannot be changed. .P EMERGENCY ALARM 4220 Emergency alarm is a RADIO-WIDE feature instead of a MODE feature to allow Emergency to be available at all times even when the radio is on a non- signalling mode. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to select a STANDARD or SILENT emergency or no (NONE) emergency. It is recommended that this field be set to NONE whenever there is NO Emergency Switch function enabled on the OTHER ACCESSORY screen. NOTE It is important to have a emergency switch connected to the radio when the codeplug is changed. If you do not the radio will immediately go into the Emergency sequence and turn on the transmitter. .P EMERGENCY REVERT MODE 4221 This is the mode number on which the Emergency Alarm will be transmitted. This mode must have a valid signalling system assigned to it. To transmit the Emergency Alarm on the mode selected by the operator of the radio, enter 00 (or NONE) for this field. It is recommended that the emergency revert mode be used in order that all emergency alarms in the system will be directed to the same mode. If no emergency mode is selected, all modes must be programmed to transmit an emergency alarm. .P HANDSET 4231 The radio needs to know when a handset is connected to the radio in order to know when to mute the loudspeaker. The loudspeaker is muted when the *handset is removed from the hang-up cup. To enable handset muting, move the cursor to the Handset data field and use the up and down arrows to select "N" for no handset muting and "Y" for handset muting. .P ACC INTERNAL 4233 Internal accessories are accessories that are physically placed inside the radio and do not actually use the connector. Connections are made internal to the radio but still use the pin functions. At this time there is only one Internal Accessory. This is the DTMF decoder board. The decoder should be installed in the radio BEFORE programming. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to either enable or disable the DTMF decoder board. Trunked radios do not have any internal accessory. .P ACC EXTERNAL 4234 External Accessories interface to the radio through the Expanded Accessory Connector. Using the Up/Down arrow keys will scroll through the five external accessories - 1. Public Address, 2. Remote, 3. General I/O, 4. Phone Patch, and 5. Moden Paging. !!!! WARNING !!!! Once ANY of the external accessory information has been changed from the default values, the information will be lost if you switch external accessories using the Up/Down arrow keys. .P MORE RAPIDCALL 4235 These enable the different types of calls that can be made from the call list as you press the Select button on the front panel of the radio. Voice Selcall is represented by an "SC" on the front panel of the radio. Call Alert is represented by a "CA" on the front panel of the radio. Radio Check is represented by a "CH" on the front panel of the radio (ONLY MDC1200 call list entries). Only turn on the particular types of calls your customer needs. Note : On 2 channel radios, it is not recommended that any of these features be turned on because there is no Select button to access them. .P SCAN OPTIONS 4240 SCAN OPTIONS Configuration is used to CHANGE/VIEW the Radio-Wide scan features, such as Priority Sampling Method, Priority Sampling Rate, Scan Speed, Scan Hang Time and Scan Talk Back. This does not configure Mode- Slaved Scan Lists, as this is done through the MODE Configuration. .P PRIORITY 2 MODE 4241 Only certain models of the Radius radio are capable of scanning receive mode frequencies. Scanning radios have two priority frequencies that are scanned periodically whether or not there is channel activity. In Mode Slaved Scan the first priority is the current Mode displayed when Scan is activated. The second priority is radio wide and can be selected or disabled on this screen. You may enter the Mode Number for the desired second priority or you may enter 'OFF' which will remove the second priority. You may also use the up and down arrow keys to select the desired Mode. If the Mode is invalid, you will be prompted for a new value. .P USER PRIORITY 2 ALLOWED 4242 This enables the second priority feature of the user scan list. Use the UP/DOWN arrows to select this value. Enable the feature by selecting Y. .P PRIORITY SAMPLING METHOD 4243 Priority Sampling Method determines the way in which the priority channel(s) is checked for activity during a "lookback" from an active priority-2 or non-priority channel. There are two methods, CONTINUOUS and 1-SHOT PL. Use the UP/DOWN arrows to change this value. CONTINUOUS always performs a complete check of the channel. If no carrier is present, then the sampling ends. If a carrier is present, a full PL check is made on each sample. For 1-SHOT PL, once a carrier is seen, a full PL sample is only done once until a sample is seen with no carrier present (i.e. carrier "break"). .P SCAN SPEED 4244 Scan Speed determines how long each channel is checked for carrier and PL. There are three rates available: SLOW, NORMAL and FAST. SLOW is the most reliable and does not affect sensitivity. NORMAL is the default and probably the most commonly used scan speed. FAST risks a loss of carrier detect, degrading the range. FAST is most applicable when Rx frequencies are less than 5 MHz. FAST should only be used where strong signal conditions exist. Use the UP/DOWN arrows to change this value. .P PRIORITY SAMPLING RATE 4245 Priority Sampling Rate determines how often the priority channel is sampled for activity when listening to priority-2 or non-priority channels. This sampling process is known as "lookback" and causes holes in the received audio. The time chosen determines the length of time between samples. The value can range from 0.5 to 4.2 seconds, with the default being 0.9 seconds. Use the UP/DOWN arrows to change this value. The best choice is always a compromise between probability of missed syllables on the priority channel and intelligibility of the lower priority channel. For critical use (public safety, etc.), we suggest using the fastest time. .P PRIORITY CHANNEL TONE 4246 Priority Channel Tone is a feature that alerts the user that the radio's scan has stopped on a priority channel. This tone is a high-pitched short tone. It can be enabled by using the UP/DOWN arrows to select Y. !!! WARNING !!! Enabling the priority channel tone can cause a loss of 100 ms of the priority channel audio. .P SCAN HANG TIME 4247 The Scan Hang Time determines how long the radio will remain on the channel after receiving the end of a transmission. During this time, the radio will still perform priority samples as required. The scan hang time should be as short as necessary to maintain message continuity. The default value is 2.5 seconds. The hang time can range from 0.0-4.1 seconds. .P SCAN TALK BACK 4248 The conventional channel scan has the capability to revert to the home mode (home revert) or stay on the busy channel (talk back) when the microphone is removed from the hang-up clip. These capabilities are now programmable from Radio Service Software. The default is home revert. To change capabilities use the up and down arrow keys to select "N" for home revert scan and "Y" for talk back scan. .P OPTION CONNECTOR 4290 .P FUNCTION DESCRIPTION 4291 !! WARNING !! Mismatching the Data Direction with the accessory may result in damage to the radio or accessory or both. Therefore, use caution when selecting functions for non standard accessories. The direction is determined by the selected function and is not programmable. ALWAYS program the radio BEFORE connecting a new option. Also verify that the new option does not exceed the limits of the radio's drive circuitry. In general, the limits look like this: outputs: open collector, 200 mA amximum drive with a saturation voltage of 0.3 V max. inputs: 0 to 16 Volts, signals below 1.0 V logic low, signals above 3.0 V are logic high. .P Each programmable pin has a limited number of functions that can be assigned to it. Some internal and external accessories need certain functions in order to operate properly. These functions are called 'dependent' functions. Dependent functions will NOT changed and will get skipped. Remaining functions are 'independent' of specific accessories and are called 'independent' functions. "General I/O" with no internal accessory allows the most programmable 'independent' functions. WARNING: Do not use the SAME 'independent' function more than once on this screen. The radio will not respond as expected to two or more of the same 'independent' functions. .P The following is a list of the available independent functions: function: Null pin(s): 4,6,8,9,12,14 purpose: The correct definition for any pin which is not being used. function: External Alarm pin(s): 4 purpose: An output which can drive a normally open relay. The relay connects to the vehicle horn/lights. Driven by an open collector transistor which saturates to A+, with the capability to source 200 mA. .P function: Tx PL Inhibit pin(s): 6,8,9,12,14 purpose: An input which can inhibit the generation of PL while the radio is transmitting. A typical application would be 'stripping PL' when sending a page from an attached paging terminal. Normally this line should be toggled prior to asserting PTT, since the radio will need to dekey and rekey if the line is toggled while transmitting. function: TOC Disable pin(s): 6,8,9,12,14 purpose: This input to the radio will disable the generation of PL reverse burst and DPL turn off code when a transmission ends. This can be useful for some base station and phone patch setups. .P function: Tx Audio Mute pin(s): 6,8,9,12,14 purpose: This input to the radio mutes the MIC AUDIO input, allowing an external option to drive the FLAT TX AUDIO INPUT. This is for connections to paging encoders, data terminals, etc. To ensure that the transmit deviation never exceeds the legal limits, the device connected should not gate audio to FLAT TX AUDIO INPUT unless Tx Audio Mute is asserted FIRST. function: PL/DPL & CSQ Detect pin(s): 4,8,12,14 purpose: This output from the radio indicates that a carrier with correct PL is present. .P function: CSQ Detect pin(s): 4,8,12,14 purpose: This output from the radio indicates that there is a carrier on the channel. function: Emergency Switch pin(s): 6,8,9,12,14 purpose: This input to the radio is used in conjunction with signalling to send and receive emergency alarms. It defaults to the correct active level for a normally closed switch connected to ground. It is recommended that this function be removed when the Emergency Alarm field on the RADIO WIDE screen is set to 'NONE'. .P The following is a list of independent functions that are ONLY available on radios with V21.00 or later software: function: Rx Audo Mute pin(s): 6,8,9,12,14 purpose: This input to the radio mutes receive audio for data applications. function: Special Off Hook pin(s): 6,8,9,12,14 purpose: This input to the radio readies the audio amplifier to accept externally generated sidetones. function: Channel Steer 1-3 pin(s): 6,8,9,12,14 purpose: This input to the radio works as a BCD channel selector input. .P DEBOUNCE 4292 Debounce determines whether the radio waits a short period of time before acting. This is done to make sure that any mechanical switch bounce is accounted for. It is only active on INPUTS. Debouncing is usually required for pins that are driven by relays or other mechanical devices. Functions that have Debounce as "NO" should not use relays or mechanical devices to drive them. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to enable "Yes" or disable "No". .P ACTIVE LEVEL 4293 Active Level determines whether the pins will become active on either a high voltage or a low voltage. Some non standard accessories may not have the same active level as the default active level. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to enable "High" or disable "Low". .P POWER UP DELAY 4294 The radio ignores the active levels on the programmable pins during power up. This is done to give the accessory device time to initialize itself. The time that the radio delays is the Power Up Delay. The default time for this delay is 0.2 seconds. If this delay needs to be changed, use the Up/Down arrow keys. This value can range from 0.0 seconds to 4.3 seconds. .P CHANGE/VIEW MODE CONFIGURATION 4500 MODE Configuration is used to CHANGE/VIEW channel specific information such as frequencies, squelch type, squelch codes, and scan lists. Warning: CHANGE/VIEW does NOT actually modify the radio codeplug data, but instead it modifies a copy of the data retrieved from the codeplug (or archive file) via the GET/SAVE functions. After all CHANGE/VIEW modifications are completed, you MUST return to the GET/SAVE menu and PROGRAM the changes back into the radio or SAVE them to a new archive file. Otherwise the modifications will be lost when you turn off your computer. .P NAME 4501 NAME is the number displayed on the two digit seven segment display. The NAME data field allows the number displayed to be different than the mode number. This, for example, allows the channels to be displayed in an unusual order such as 1,2,4,5. Any sequence desired can be chosen. A few words of caution should be given: a. Earlier radio software versions do NOT support this feature! b. The name will have no effect on 2 channel radios. .P c. Choose names which are not easily confused with the numbers displayed by the call list entries. d. On low band radios there may be difficulties viewing the noise blanker status. e. When programming a user scan list, channel names greater than 19 tend to be hard to recognize. Valid numbers are between 01 and 99. .P RECEIVE FREQUENCY 4503 Enter the RECEIVE frequency directly in MHz. Blank RECEIVE frequencies are NOT allowed. Refer to the MOTOROLA Catalog Sheets / Price Pages or your Service Manual for valid RECEIVE frequencies for this model. .P TRANSMIT FREQUENCY 4504 Enter the TRANSMIT frequency directly in MHz. For a "Receive-Only" channel, enter a B. The TRANSMIT frequency will be displayed as BLANK. Refer to the MOTOROLA Catalog Sheets / Price Pages or your Service Manual for valid TRANSMIT frequencies for this model. .P SQUELCH TYPE 4507 Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the SQUELCH type: CSQ - Carrier Squelch TPL - Private Line DPL - Digital Private Line. INV.DPL - Inverse DPL Data fields for transmit and receive codes will be displayed for PL and DPL. .P PL SQUELCH CODE 4508 Enter the PL frequency directly in Hz (Ex: 192.8), or enter the alphanumeric code (Ex: 7A). Enter a B for Carrier Squelch operation. Valid codes may also be selected via the UP/DOWN arrow keys. Standard PL frequencies are listed on the next page: .P PL SQUELCH CODE (cont) Standard Private Line Frequencies / MOTOROLA Code: Freq Code Freq Code Freq Code Freq Code Freq Code 67.0 XZ 91.5 ZZ 123.0 3Z 167.9 6Z 225.7 M4 69.3 WZ 94.8 ZA 127.3 3A 173.8 6A 229.1 9Z 71.9 XA 97.4 ZB 131.8 3B 179.9 6B 233.6 M5 74.4 WA 100.0 1Z 136.5 4Z 186.2 7Z 241.8 M6 77.0 XB 103.5 1A 141.3 4A 192.8 7A 250.3 M7 79.7 WB 107.2 1B 146.2 4B 203.5 M1 254.1 OZ 82.5 YZ 110.9 2Z 151.4 5Z 206.5 8Z 85.4 YA 114.8 2A 156.7 5A 210.7 M2 88.5 YB 118.8 2B 162.2 5B 218.1 M3 .P DPL SQUELCH CODE 4509 Enter the DPL code directly (Ex: 031); note that leading zeros are required. Enter a B for Carrier Squelch operation. Valid codes may also be selected via the UP/DOWN arrow keys. Valid DPL codes are listed on the next page: .P DPL SQUELCH CODE (cont) Valid DPL Codes: Code Code Code Code Code Code Code Code Code 023 071 134 223 306 411 503 631 732 025 072 143 226 311 412 506 632 734 026 073 152 243 315 413 516 645 743 031 074 155 244 331 423 532 654 754 032 114 156 245 343 431 546 662 043 115 162 251 346 432 565 664 047 116 165 261 351 445 606 703 051 125 172 263 364 464 612 712 054 131 174 265 365 465 624 723 065 132 205 271 371 466 627 731 .P RX SIGNALLING SYSTEM 4510 Enter the number of the Signalling System that is desired for the receiver of this mode. Signalling Systems are set-up under the Signalling System Configuration Screen. If there is no Signalling System for this mode enter "00". .P TX SIGNALLING SYSTEM 4511 Enter the number of the Signalling System that is desired for the transmitter of this mode. Signalling Systems are set-up under the Signalling System Configuration Screen. If there is no Signalling System for this mode enter "00". .P BUSY CHANNEL LOCKOUT 4512 Busy Channel Lockout may be enabled by choosing "Y". When enabled, the radio will be 'polite' to other users on the channel. In other words, the radio will not let you hear conversations of other users and will not allow you to transmit on top of another user. The only calls you will hear are those with your PL code, even if you are off hook or press the monitor button. If you press PTT on the radio while there is a carrier on the channel, the radio follows this protocol: .P a. If the carrier has your PL, then you are allowed to transmit just like normal. b. If the carrier has no PL or the wrong PL, then you will hear a busy tone while you hold PTT. Release PTT and try again later. If you choose "N", then the radio will transmit and receive like a normal two-way radio. .P PHONE SIGNALLING SYSTEM 4513 This lets you assign the phone access/deaccess code on a mode basis. Enter here the number of the DTMF/PHONE signalling system that has the access and deaccess code you want to use on this channel. The access (ANI) sequence is sent when the 'select' button is pressed. If phone is not desired, do NOT assign a system here. .P TIME-OUT-TIMER (TOT) 4514 If Enabled, the TOT will limit the maximum time allowed for any continuous transmission from 1 to 255 seconds on all transmit channels. Receive operation is not affected by the TOT. Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the desired time. You will see the display change in one second increments. The data field may also be changed by typing the desired time or "OFF" from the keyboard. The range is from OFF to 255 seconds. .P TX INHIBIT ON BUSY 4515 Tx Inhibit on Busy, if enabled, will disable transmit while carrier is present on a channel (channel is busy). A busy tone will be heard when the PTT is pressed. Use the UP/DOWN arrows to change this value. Choosing Y will enable this feature. .P LOCAL/DISTANCE 4516 Local/Distance is a feature that affects radio sensitivity and interference rejection. Use the UP/DOWN arrows to select a value for this feature. Use LOCAL in areas of dense radio usage (suburbs and major cities). LOCAL improves IM performance dramatically, but loses some sensitivity. Use DX (distance) when in an area where radio is decoding weak signals (rural area). .P MODE UTILITY 4580 The MODE UTILITY screen is used for adding, deleting, or moving the location (order) of Conventional modes. Modes may also be copied (duplicated), including scan lists (Mode-Slaved only). The F8 (EXECUTE) function key is used to execute the changes once all information has been entered. The GET/SAVE functions must be used to program the changes into the radio, as is required for all CHANGE/VIEW modifications. .P UTILITY (Default = Add Mode) 4581 Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the desired UTILITY function: Add Mode, Copy Mode, Delete Mode, or Move Mode. The F8 (EXECUTE) function key is used to execute the changes once all information has been entered. The GET/SAVE functions must be used to program the changes into the radio, as is required for all CHANGE/VIEW modifications. .P MODE TYPE (Default = Conventional) 4582 Mode Type is Conventional and cannot be changed. .P INSERT AT MODE (Default = Blank) 4583 Enter the mode number that the mode is to be INSERTED AT. After entering this number and pressing Enter, the mode name for that mode will be displayed. Use the name to verify that the proper number was entered. .P NEW MODE NAME (Default = Mode nn) 4584 Enter the 8-character alpha-numeric MODE NAME. The Mode Name will default to "Mode nn", where nn = mode number. If Mode Names are disabled, you will not be able to change this field. Each mode may be assigned a Name to facilitate ease of operation. The [Mode] rocker button is used to scroll forward or backward through the list of modes programmed in the radio. Since the mode number is required for direct keypad mode selection via the [Home] button for keypad models, using the mode number as part of the mode name is desirable, but not required. .P MODE TO COPY FROM (Default = Blank) 4585 Enter the Mode Number TO COPY FROM. Any valid conventional mode number may be entered. After entering this number and pressing Enter, the mode name for that mode will be displayed. Use the name to verify that the proper number was entered. Frequencies (Rx, Tx, T/A), squelch type, squelch codes, and all mode options will be copied. You may choose to copy the channel scan list (mode-slaved only) or to enter a new one. This field is required for the Copy Mode function; it is optional for the Add Mode function. .P COPY SCAN LIST (Default = N) 4586 Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select Y to copy the channel scan list (mode- slaved only) or N for a blank list. If the copied list is full (16 modes), the new mode will assume the priority of the copied mode and the copied mode will not be part of the new list. Otherwise, the new mode will assume the priority of the copied mode, and the copied mode will be a non-priority mode on the new list. .P MODE TO COPY TO (Default = Blank) 4587 Enter the Mode Number TO COPY TO. After entering this number and pressing Enter, the mode name for that mode will be displayed. Use the name to verify that the proper number was entered. Frequencies (Rx, Tx, T/A), squelch type, squelch codes, and all mode options will be copied. You may choose to copy the channel scan list (mode-slaved only) or to enter a new one after returning to the Mode Configuration screen. .P MODE TO DELETE (Default = Blank) 4588 Enter the Mode Number TO DELETE. After entering this number and pressing Enter, the mode name for that mode will be displayed. Use the name to verify that the proper number was entered. CAUTION: After the F8 (EXECUTE) function key has been pressed, the mode will be deleted and may not be recovered. However, if you make a mistake AND the data has not been programmed or saved (GET/SAVE functions), you may re-read the codeplug or original archive file and start over. .P MODE TO MOVE (Default = Blank) 4589 Enter the Mode Number TO MOVE. Any valid conventional mode number may moved. After entering this number and pressing Enter, the mode name for that mode will be displayed. Use the name to verify that the proper number was entered. The mode and all related parameters will be moved to the new position. All mode-slaved channel scan lists (if applicable) will reflect the new mode location, but otherwise will not be affected. .P MODE SLAVED SCAN LIST 4561 This screen displays the available modes and their scan TYPE for the mode display in the upper left side of the display. The scan types are changed by moving the cursor with the Enter or Tab keys to the desired Mode and changing its TYPE by using the up and down arrow keys. Note that Priority One is always the Mode that the current scan list is slaved to. This priority cannot be changed. Function Key Descriptions: F2 - GO TO MODE allows you to go to the Mode Slaved Scan List you want to modify without returning to the MODE CONFIGURATION screen and stepping through the modes in-between. .P MODE SLAVED SCAN LIST (cont) F3 & F4 - NEXT MODE will advance the screen to the next Mode Slaved Scan List. If you are at the last Mode in the radio then pressing F4 will take you to Mode 1. PREVIOUS MODE will return you to the previous Mode. If you are at Mode 1, pressing F3 will take you to the last Mode in the Radio. F5 - PRINT SCREEN will send the currently displayed Mode Slaved Scan List to the printer. F7 - ERASE LIST will remove all of the Modes from the current scan list. .P DISPLAY NAME 4600 This is the number you will see displayed when dialing this phone number. .P PHONE NUMBER 4601 This is the number you want to send. It is one (1) to sixteen (16) digits in length. Valid digits are 0 - 9, *, and #. Pauses are NOT allowed. There is no need to fill in all the phone number slots; it will be faster to find the number if you enter as few numbers as possible ... enter only frequently used phone numbers! .P DIAL SIGNALLING SYSTEM 4602 This is the signalling system that will be used to dial phone numbers. We made this separate from the access signalling system so that you may customize things such as dialing speed. For example, some phone systems will allow faster dialing than the phone patch. .P SYSTEM 4700 This screen allows you to configure one or more signalling systems. These signalling systems will be used by the Call List and Mode screens to determine when and where decode or encode. .P TYPE 4702 When this screen is displayed the cursor is placed on the TYPE data field. There are seven available system types. They are None, STAR, MDC1200, QCII (QUIK CALL), DTMF, Singletone and DTMF/PHONE. The system types are selected by using the Up/Down arrow keys. None implies that all of the signalling systems in the radio are deactivated. When STAR, MDC1200, QCII, Singletone, DTMF, or Singletone is activated the associated parameter data fields will be displayed. .P ID 4703 MDC1200 : MDC1200 requires that each radio have a unique four digit ID number. The default is the last four digits of the radio serial number. The range is from 0001 to DEEE. Four zeroes will show up as "NONE"; this is useful when you desire the radio to "listen only". An example of a "listen only" situation might be a volunteer fireman monitoring a fire dispatch channel. DTMF : DTMF requires each radio to have a unique 1 to 8 digit ID number. The default is the last four digits of the radio serial number. Digits 0 to 9, *, and # may be used. Any unused digits may be filled in with a '-' character. .P STAR : STAR requires that each radio have a unique four digit ID number. The default is the last four digits of the radio serial number. The range is from 0000 to 16383. You may enter the ID in two ways. The first way is without the tag bits added to the ID. In this case, you will type in the ID that you want to have appear on the dispatcher's console first. Then on the tag bit line you will set the proper combination for the customer. If the channel is only being used by one customer, then chances are the tags will be 0 0. The third line shows you what the ID would look like in a system which uses the tag bits as an extension of the ID. For reference, the first tag bit adds 8192 to the ID and the second adds 4096 to the ID. .P QCII : QCII ID corresponds to tones A, B, and C. It requires at least two unique tones. The default is 358.6 Hz (tone A), 903.s Hz (tone B), and 0.0 Hz (tone C). The range is from 304.0 to 2470.0 Hz. Don't be alarmed if the frequency that you type in changes by a few Hertz. This change can occur because the program must calculate the nearest frequency that the radio can understand. You will find that the error will always be within the acceptable industry bandwidth. SINGLETONE : This is the frequency of the tone that is sent. The default is 1049.7 Hz, with available tones ranging from 304.0 to 2470.0 Hz. Don't be alarmed if the program "rounds" the frequency up or down by a few Hertz. Remember that the tones will tend to have a higher distortion as the frequency drops; we suggest tones above 1 kHz when installing new systems. .P GROUP ID 4704 The MDC1200 id is a three hex digit number common to a group of radios and ranges from 000 to EEE. The DTMF id is a 1 to 8 digit id. The digits 0 to 9, *, and # may be used. It is IMPORTANT that the number of group digits does not exceed the number of id digits because the radio will never decode the group ID. .P CALL FORMAT 4705 There are 8 different choices for this field. The choice determines the sequence in which this radio needs to see the QCII tones for an individual or group call. The Up/Down arrow keys will scroll through the choices. The following is a list of those choices: A-B Tone A followed by Tone B. A-B/A-C Tone A followed by Tone B or Tone A followed by Tone C A-B/C-B Tone A followed by Tone B or Tone C followed by Tone B A-B/Long B Tone A followed by Tone B or Long Tone B A-B/Long C Tone A followed by Tone B or Long Tone C .P A-B/A-C/Long C Tone A followed by Tone B or Tone A followed by Tone C or Long Tone C A-B/Long B/Long C Tone A followed by Tone B or Long Tone B or Long Tone C A-B/A-C/Long B/Long C Tone A followed by Tone B or Tone A followed by Tone C or Long Tone B or Long Tone C In this table the first sequence is considered an "individual call" while the other sequences would be considered "group calls." For example: For choice A-B/A-C/LONG C, an A-B sequence would be an "individual call" while an A-C or LONG C would be a "group call". Group calls normally cannot be acknowledged. .P CALL TYPE 4706 There are three different choices for this field. The Up/Down arrow keys will scroll through the following choices : Call Alert, Call Alert/Voice, and Voice Selcall. Call Alert leaves call indication at the receiving radio. Call Alert/Voice leaves a call indication and unmutes the loudspeaker of the receiving radio. Voice Selcall unmutes loudspeaker on receiving radio but does not leave any call indication. MDC1200 does not allow Voice Selcall call type since Voice Selcall is an inherent feature of all MDC1200 signalling systems. .P PL/DPL REQUIRED 4707 The Up/Down arrow keys will allow the choices of either "Y" or "N". "Y" implies the correct PL/DPL is required to recieve data. "N" implies PL/DPL is not required to receive data. In most systems you may choose "N", however, when you share a channel with other users who have the same signalling type then you should choose "Y". Choosing "Y" on shared channels will ensure that you don't accidentally receive a call which is directed to another user. Note : Some existing DTMF and Quik Call systems require PL stripping, and therefore it is recommended that an "N" be chosen in these cases. .P ACKNOWLEDGE 4708 The Up/Down arrow keys will allow the choices of either "Y" or "N". "Y" implies an acknowledge transpond tone will be sent after a valid call. "N" implies no acknowledge will be sent after a valid call. The radio normally will not acknowledge "group calls". .P ACKNOWLEDGE TYPE 4709 The acknowledge type can be one of the four following choices : 1. DIGIT - One DTMF digit will be transmitted after a valid call. Digit is entered on the Acknowledge Digit data field. 2. ID - The ID of the radio will be transmitted after a valid call. 3. TONE - A predetermined tone will be transmitted after a valid call. 4. NO - No acknowledge will be sent after a valid call. The Up/Down arrow keys will scroll through the allowable choices. NOTE : QCII only has choices 3 and 4. .P ACKNOWLEDGE DIGIT 4710 This field is is used in conjunction with the Acknowledge type field. This is the digit that is transmitted after a valid call if the acknowledge type is "DIGIT". Digits 0 to 9, *, and # may be used to create a ONE digit acknowledge digit. .P ACK PRETIME 4711 Systems that use Call Alert require that the radio acknowledge (ACK) that the Call Alert has been received. ACK Pretime is the delay from when the radio receives a Call Alert to when it starts the ACK sequence. The default ACK pretime is 0.5 seconds. If a different pretime is required for your system move the cursor to the ACK Pretime data field and change the time using the up and down arrow keys. The range can be from 0.2 to 2.0 seconds in 0.1 second steps. .P HORN/LIGHTS 4712 When a Call Alert is received, an external output may be activated that can be used to control a vehicle's horn or lights. Horn/Lights may be selectable, permanent, or not available. If horn/lights are selectable then they may be defeated by the front panel Select button. If they are permanent, they cannot be defeated without an external switch in the relay cable. If they are not available, then they can never be activated. .P HORN/LIGHTS DELAY 4713 When External Alarm or Horn/Lights is activated by the operator, Call Alerts will activate the external alarm for six seconds. Horn/Lights Delay will delay the activation of the external alarm to allow the operator time, if he is in the vehicle, to respond to the Call Alert before the external alarm is activated. If the operator does respond during the delay time the external alarm will not be activated. The default time is 10.0 seconds. If a different Delay Time is required move the cursor to the Horn/Lights Delay data field and enter the desired delay. Use the up and down arrow keys to select a delay of 0, 5.0, 10.0 or 15.0 seconds. .P SIGNALLING SQUELCH 4714 This feature can either be enabled "Y" or disabled "N" using the Up/Down arrow keys. If this feature is enable "Y", then the front panel monitor button can be used to put the radio into signalling squelch. If this feature is disabled "N", then signalling squelch is not activated. The default is "N". Signalling Squelch is similar to Private Line. When enabled, the radio will only unmute for Call Alerts and Voice Selcalls. Like Private Line, Signalling Squelch can be disabled by pressing the monitor button or removing the microphone from the hang up clip. You will find that Signalling Squelch is automatically disabled when channel scan is on. .P DOS HOLDOFF 4715 Data Operated Squelch (DOS) is used with data signalling systems (such as MDC-1200) to mute the data transmissions to reduce operator annoyance. DOS attempts to mute the speaker when data is present on the channel. DOS Holdoff keeps the speaker muted for a preset period of time from when carrier is detected by the squelch circuit. This allows the DOS time to detect any data activity, further reducing the annoyance of data being heard from the speaker. The default holdoff is 0.5 seconds. If a different holdoff time is required for your system move the cursor to the DOS Holdoff data field and change the time using the Up/Down arrow keys. The range can be from 0.0 to 4.3 seconds in 0.1 second steps. The radio automatically defeats DOS Holdoff while channel scan is turned on. .P PTT ID 4716 If you want your unit id to be sent on each Push-to-talk (PTT), then set this field to "PRE", "POST", or "BOTH". "PRE" sends the id at the press of PTT. "POST" sends the id upon release of PTT. "BOTH" sends the id twice per transmission, once at the press and once at the release of PTT. If you choose "NONE", then the id will not be sent during PTT. .P PTT SIDETONE 4717 PTT sidetones are used when PTT ID is activated. Sidetones are heard through the speaker when the operator first presses the PTT. They are used to tell the operator that he cannot speak until the ID has been transmitted. There are two sidetones available in the Radius. The PTT ID Sidetone is a continuous tone heard from PTT until the ID has been sent. The second tone, PTT Short Sidetone, is a short beep after the ID has been sent. Both tell the operator when he is permitted to speak into the microphone. One, both or no Sidetones maybe activated. They can be activated by moving the cursor to the desired sidetone and using the Up/Down arrow keys to choose either "Y" or "N" to either activate or deactivate the sidetones. .P The Sidetone choice is also used when sending a call from the Call List. It is suggested that if this signalling system is to be used by a Call List entry that the Sidetone(s) be enabled. .P PTT SHORT SIDETONE 4718 PTT sidetones are used when PTT ID is activated. Sidetones are heard through the speaker when the operator first presses the PTT. They are used to tell the operator that he cannot yet speak until the ID has been transmitted. There are two sidetones available in the Radius. The PTT ID Sidetone is a continuous tone heard from PTT until the ID has been sent. The second tone, PTT Short Sidetone, is a short beep after the ID has been sent. Both tell the operator when he is permitted to speak into the microphone. One, both or no Sidetones maybe activated. They can be activated by moving the cursor to the desired sidetone and using the Up/Down arrow keys to choose either "Y" or "N" to activate or deactivate the sidetones. .P The Sidetone choice is also used when sending a call from the Call List and whenever a sequence is generated by pressing the 'Select' button. It is suggested that if this signalling system is to be used by a Call List entry that the Sidetone(s) be enabled. .P PRETIME 4719 The pretime is the delay from the start of transmit (when the operator pushes PTT) to when the data signalling begins. This delay is required in order to allow the radio to completely open the communications path through repeaters or other system components. The default pretime is 0.5 seconds. If a different pretime is required for your system move the cursor to the Pretime data field and change the time using the Up/Down arrow keys. The range can be from 0.1 to 4.3 seconds in 0.1 second steps. .P FIXED RETRY WAIT 4720 When emergency is activated by the operator the radio expects an acknowledge from the base station. If no acknowledge is received then the radio will repeat the emergency sequence after a delay. The radio always waits a random time greater than twice the Pretime. The additional time is the Fixed Retry Wait time. Fixed Retry Wait is the time the radio waits between emergency tries. The default is 0.0 seconds (STAR default is 8.1 seconds). If a different Wait Time is required move the cursor to the Fixed Retry Wait data field and change the time using the Up/Down arrow keys. The range can be from 0.0 seconds to 16.9 seconds in 0.4 second steps. .P DECODE DISPLAY 4721 When a PTT ID transmission is received by the radio it contains the ID of the transmitting radio. The name of the call entry associated with the transmitting radio ID will be displayed on the screen. If no call entry is associated with the transmitting radio ID, then "00" (not for DTMF) will be displayed on the radio. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to choose either to have the transmitting radio "name" displayed on the front panel, "Y", or not to have the transmitting radio "name" displayed on the front panel, "N". Since 2 channel radios do not have a display, choosing "Y" is not recommended. .P CONSOLE 4722 One radio in the system should be designated as the Console Radio (Control Unit). The purpose of this radio is to acknowledge the receiving Emergency Alert. If this field is enabled "Y", the radio will respond to an Emergency with an acknowledge transmission. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to choose either "Y" or "N". Since 2 channel radios do not have a display to show the unit ID of the transmitting radio, they are not recommended as Console radios. .P TX TONE DURATION 4723 This is the length of each digit that is transmitted by the radio. The default is 101.4 msec.. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to change the default value. The range is 50.7 to 4296 msec.. in 16.9 msec. intervals. .P TX TONE INTERVAL 4724 This is the time between the transmission of different DTMF digits. The default is 50.7 msec.. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to change the default value. The range is 50.7 to 4286 msec. in 16.9 msec. intervals. .P RESET DURATION 4725 After the DTMF decoder has received a valid digit it waits a predetermined time for the next expected tone before resetting. Resetting causes the decoder to look for the first digit of the ID. Reset Duration is the time period that the decoder waits before resetting. This duration may be set from 0.2 to 33.0 seconds. The default is 2.5 seconds. Use the Up/Down arrow keys to change the default value if necessary. .P ACCESS CODE 4726 The DTMF sequence which is used to "access" or open the phone patch goes here. Typically, this is a * followed by one (1) to three (3) number digits. This is commonly known as an ANI sequence! .P DEACCESS CODE 4727 The DTMF sequence which is used to terminate a phone call, or "deaccess" the phone patch goes here. This is often a # digit. .P PRINT 5000 The PRINT function is used to produce permanent records of codeplug configurations and/or RF alignment settings. A printer is required and should be connected to your computer per your computer user's manual. Graphics capability is NOT required. You must use the GET/SAVE functions to first READ or GET a codeplug for printing radio configuration data (see F2 below); you must have a radio connected to the computer for printing an alignment summary (see F5 below). Each printout contains radio model and serial number information, software version numbers, Radio Service Software version numbers, and the date and time of the printout. .P PRINT (cont) Function Key Descriptions: F2 - RADIO CONFIGURATION function displays a menu to the user which allows printing of the RADIO-WIDE Configuration, the MODE summary or the full MODE configuration. F4 - PHONE LIST Summary prints the PHONE MEMORY configuration (phone-capable models ONLY). F5 - ALIGNMENT Summary function prints the current relative value setting for all SERVICE alignment adjustments. .P PRINT (cont) Function Key Descriptions: F6 - ARCHIVE File List function prints a list of all codeplug files by serial number for a specified directory path. F7 - SIGNALLING LIST SUMMARY function prints a compressed summary of all signalling systems that are programmed in the radio (signalling- capable models ONLY). F9 - CALL LIST SUMMARY function prints a compressed list of the call list entries (signalling-capable models ONLY). .P PRINT RADIO CONFIGURATION 5200 This menu provides the user with the ability to print out various radio configuration data. Function Key Descriptions: F2 - RADIO-WIDE Configuration function prints the RADIO-WIDE and the SCAN OPTIONS screens, along with the MORE RAPIDCALL and OTHER ACCESSORY screens (if available). F4 - MODE CONFIGURATION Summary function prints a one-page summary of the modes. F5 - MODE CONFIGURATION (All Parameters) function prints a listing of the modes as the appear on the MODE screen. .P PRINT ARCHIVE FILE LIST 5600 This function will print the list of codeplug files for a given archive path on the hard disk or on floppy drives. The formatted output contains the radio model, serial number, customer name and date created. Simply type in the desired pathname and press F8. .P SETUP 9000 The SETUP functions are used to configure your Radio Service Software to your particular application and computer environment. Function Key Descriptions: F3 - PC CONFIGURATION is used to set default disk drive paths for Archive files and Backup files.

It can be used to restore lost Archive Files from your Back-up Files, create new Back-up Files, create directory paths, and delete Archive Files. .P CREATE DIRECTORY PATH 1501 This screen will create any desired directory path by adding sub- directories that can be accepted by the DOS operating system. Enter the new directory path and press the Enter key. An Example directory path would be: C:\MRSS\GM300\ARCHIVE\LOCAL <Enter> This would add the sub-directory "LOCAL" under the sub-directory "ARCHIVE". Only one sub-directory may be added at a time. .P DELETE ARCHIVE FILE 1502 The Delete Archive File screen allows you to delete any Archive File from the directory displayed in the Archive Path. Function Key Descriptions: F3 - The CHANGE ARCHIVE function allows you to change the Archive Directory Path. Enter the new Path and Press the Enter key. F5 - The PRINT function print the serial numbers of the archived files to your printer. .P DELETE ARCHIVE FILE (cont) F7 - The DELETE FILE function will delete the file associated with the highlighted serial number. You can move the highlight cursor to the desired serial number by using the Tab and Enter keys. Press F7 to delete the file. The Computer will ask you to confirm the delete by pressing F7 again. .P RESTORE ARCHIVE FILE 1503 This screen is used to restore lost Archive Files from a Back-up Files Disk. Function Key Descriptions: F3 - The CHANGE SOURCE function is used to point to the Back-up directory Path. Enter the new Path and press the Enter Key. F4 - The CHANGE TARGET function is used to point to the Archive directory where you want to store the recovered Archive File. Enter the new Path and press the Enter Key. .P RESTORE ARCHIVE FILE (cont) F7 - The RESTORE FILE function is used to move the Back-up File, highlighted on the display, to the directory displayed on the Target path. You can move the highlight cursor to the desired serial number by using the Tab and Enter keys. .P UPDATE BACK-UP FILES 1504 The Update Back-up Files Screen allows you to create new back-up copies of your archive files. F3 - The CHANGE SOURCE function is used to point to the Archive directory Path that you want to back-up. Enter the new Path and press the Enter Key.

Enter the new Path and press the Enter Key. .P UPDATE BACK-UP FILES (cont) F7 - The CREATE BACKUP function will copy the selected Archive File contained in the Source Path to the directory of the Target Path. .P CALL LIST 4900 This screen allows you to configure a call list so that you may selectively call other radios. Once this call list is complete, you may use the 'Select' button on the front of your radio to select the individual or group that you wish to call. The list is built one entry at a time. The sequence of the entries is exactly the same as the order you would select them from the front of the radio. The entry sequence may be important for your customer, so it is best to check with him/her first. You may mix different signalling formats in any order in the list. Up to 99 different entries are allowed. To create the first entry in a blank list, you will have to use the F8 key. .P DISPLAY NAME 4901 The name/number that will show on the radio display whenever this entry is being selected. This will can be any number from 1 to 126. We suggest that the number be large so that your customer can easily distinguish that this is not a channel number. .P SIGNALLING SYSTEM 4902 This determines which signalling format and timing will be used when sending the call. .P REVERT MODE 4903 This field determines on which channel the call will be sent. If you always want the call to go out on whatever channel your customer is on, then you want 'NONE'; do this by using the UP/DOWN keys or typing '00'. If you always want the call to be sent on a specific channel, then use the UP/DOWN keys until this channel is displayed. Remember, however, that when the call is complete the radio will remain on the sending channel. .P ACKNOWLEDGE EXPECTED 4904 This determines whether or not the radio will expect an acknowledge from unit(s) being called. If an acknowledge is expected, the radio will: a) send the call up to 5 times b) display an 'A' if the call is acknowledged or a '-A' if not acknowledged. If an acknowledge is not expected, the radio will only send the call one time and will not show any type of acknowledge display. .P In general, you would like to answer 'YES'. Group calls, however, normally should be 'NO'. No acknowledge is expected for DTMF or Quik Call (their acknowledge is heard only by the user and is not decoded). Answering 'NO' to MDC1200 individual entries is acceptable for call alert and voice selcall, however, to send a radio check you MUST answer 'YES'. .P STRIP PL 4905 Answering 'YES' to this question will cause the radio to send the call without PL or DPL. This can be useful if you want to selectively call a group or unit without disturbing everyone else on the channel (this normally CANNOT be done on a community repeater!) .P ID TYPE 4906 If this field is shown, use your UP/DOWN keys to determine if this is an INDIVIDUAL, GROUP, or FLEET call. Individual Id - It is four digits long. The numbers 0-9 and letters A-F can be used. 'F' acts as a wildcard and 'E' is not available for the first digit. Group Id - Three selectable digits, 0-F. The first digit is automatically inserted by the program. .P Fleet Id - One selectable digits, 0-F. The first digit is automatically set to 'E' and the third and fourth digits are set to 'F'. All - All digits are automatically set to 'F'. .P ID 4907 This is the ID of the unit or group that you want to call. .P CALL FORMAT 4908 This only applies to Quik Call. You may choose 'TWOTONE' or 'LONGTONE'. Be sure to type in the frequencies you want in fields FREQ 1 and FREQ 2. .P CAP CODE PREFIX 4909 This is for future use. .P FREQ 4910 This is the frequency of the tone(s) to be sent in Hertz. Don't be alarmed if the number rounds up or down a few Hertz once it is entered. .P SELECT V CALL ENCODE SEQUENCES These sequences are used by the Call List. Define the sequences here then assign them in the Call List to selectively call other radios. .P VOICE SELCALL ENCODE 4741 Choices: Y, N Default: N Voice Selcall Encoding is a Call List feature. If you wish to use ANY call list position to send Voice Selcalls, then choose 'Y'. If you choose 'N', then the user will not be able to select Voice Selcall (usually displayed as 'SC') using the Select button on the front of the radio. .P CALL ALERT ENCODE 4742 Choices: Y, N Default: N Call Alert Encoding is a Call List feature. If you wish to use ANY call list position to send Call Alerts, then choose 'Y'. If you choose 'N', then the user will not be able to select Call Alert (usually displayed as 'CA') using the Select button on the front of the radio. .P RADIO CHECK ENCODE 4743 Choices: Y, N Default: N Radio Check Encoding is a Call List feature. If you wish to use ANY call list position to send Radio Checks, then choose 'Y'. If you choose 'N', then the user will not be able to select Radio Check (usually displayed as 'RC') using the Select button on the front of the radio. Not all formats allow the user to send Radio Checks; currently only MDC-1200 does. If you answer 'Y', the user will only see 'CH' on the display for Call List entries that are MDC-1200. .P LOW BATTERY Choices: Y, N Default: N This feature is normally only for mobiles used in repeater situations, or for battery powered, unattended sites. Whe the battery voltage drops below a threshold (approximately 10 volts DC), then the low battery alert can be triggered. The alert will automatically send the Call List sequence from Call List entry 1. This can be any signalling format that the Call List allows. The low battery alert will be repeated once every 15 minutes. Since the format is chosen by the Call List, the alert could simply be a tone, could autodial a phone patch, or page another radio. .P AUTO RESET TIMER 4745 Choices: Off to 60 seconds, 1 second increments Default: 7 seconds This timer has many functions. One of it's primary purposes is to control the receiver unmuting characteristics. For example, the timer can be used as a Conversation Reset after a Call Alert has been decoded. This timer should be set long enough to allow the user to have a decent conversation, but not so long as to subject the user to a significant amount of co- channel nuisance traffic. .P PTT REPEAT TIMER 4746 Choices: Off to 60 seconds, 1 second increments Default: 007 seconds This timer determines how often during a transmission that the PTT ID will be inserted. The PTT ID timer comes into play when the signalling system being used has one of the '.. REPEAT' choices selected for PTT ID. The timer starts to count down when PTT is first pressed. When the time has expired, the microphone audio is muted and the PTT ID is sent. The timer will then reset itself and start counting down again. The timer also comes into play if the PTT ID choice is '.. ONCE'. In this case the PTT ID is only sent once, in one transmission, during the PTT ID Timer period. If the PTT ID choice is 'N', 'PRE', 'POST', or 'BOTH', then this timer has no effect. .P TX HOLD TIME 4747 Choices: Off to 1.1 seconds, approximately 0.01 second increments Default: Off This is the period of time, after completion of an encode sequence, that the transmitter remains keyed (without PL if the transmission was PL stripped.) For concantenated sequences, this time is only applied to the final sequence in the series. The inter-sequence delay would be equal to the pretime of the following sequence. .P CALL LIST TIME OUT 4748 Choices: Off to 255 seconds, 1 second increments Default: Off This determines how long a user can 'camp' in the Call List. If the user remains in the Call List, without sending a call, for the time out period, then the radio will automatically return to the normal 'dispatch mode.' If this timer is turned 'Off', then the user can remain in the Call List for an infinite period of time. .P SELECT V SIDETONES Choices: Enabled or Disabled Default: Enabled On Select V signalling systems, the user can have a choice of the normal RapidCall sidetones or true Select V tones from the radio speaker as encode sequences are transmitted. Many users are accustomed to the Select V tones and may prefer them, however, RapidCall tones may be preferable when mixing several signalling formats in the same radio. .P ENCODE PRETIME 4751 Choices: 0 to 1.050 seconds, approximately 13 ms increments Default: 0 seconds This is the length of time that the transmitter will be active, with the microphone muted, prior to the start of a Select V encode sequence. If the encode sequence is being sent PL stripped, then the pretime will also be PL stripped. Pretime allows the transmitter to reach full power before the start of the sequence and allows the receiver to lock and stabilize. .P EFT TIME 4752 Choices: 0 to 12.75 seconds, 50 ms increments Default: 0 seconds In some cases, the first tone of an encode sequence may need to be extended. One example is a scanning Select V system. The length of the first tone can be extended here (Extended First Tone.) .P ENCODE SEQUENCE 4753 Choices: one to seven digits, 0 thru 9 or - Default: 01234-- This is where the Select V digit strings are defined. Each string is independent of length and format. For example, you can define one sequence to be three digits long, and another to be 5 digits long. If you need more than seven digits, some features such as the external call button allow several sequences to be concantenated (strung together.) All you define here is the digit string itself; the tone frequencies and timing are defined by the signalling system(s) that you assign the sequence to. A '-' means 'blank'. .P EFT TIME 4761 Choices: 0 to 12.75 seconds, 50 ms increments Default: 0 seconds In some cases, the first tone of a decode sequence may need to be extended. One example is a scanning Select V system. The length of the first tone can be extended here (Extended First Tone.) .P DECODE SEQUENCE 4762 Choices: one to seven digits, 0 thru 9 or - Default: 01234-- This is where the Select V digit strings are defined. Each string is independent of length and format. For example, you can define one sequence to be three digits long, and another to be 5 digits long. If you need more than seven digits, some features such as the external call button allow several sequences to be concantenated (strung together.) All you define here is the digit string itself; the tone frequencies and timing are defined by the signalling system(s) that you assign the sequence to. A '-' means 'blank'. .P GROUP DIGIT 4763 Choices: 0 thru 9, G, R, B, C, D, F Default: - This is the digit that is assigned for the Group type. This digit is used for either standard or expanded group call decoding. This digit should be assigned a 'G' for standard group call decoding. This digit should be assigned anything other than a 'G' for expanded group call decoding. A '-' means 'blank'. It is important to remember that the group call decoding depends upon the Group Type and the Group Positions. .P GROUP TYPE 4764 Choices: S, E, - Default: - This allows a number of mobiles or portables to be simultaneously called as a group, in addition to the individual call function. A '-' means 'blank' and disables the Group Call. Entering an 'E' will enable the Expanded Group Call. Entering an 'S' will enable the Standard Group Call. Group Type is dependent upon Group Digit and Group Positions. It is important that you do not enter a digit that is also used in the Decode Sequence. .P GROUP POSITIONS 4765 Choices: 'X' or - Default: ------- Defines the digit positions in the decode sequence at which Group Call tones will be accepted. A '-' means 'blank' or no Group Call tone will be accepted at this position. An 'X' means a Group Call tone will be accepted at this position. Do not assign an 'X' in a position which has not been defined in the Decode Sequence. Group Positions is dependent upon Group Digit and Group Type. .P ALERT TONES 4766 Choices: Y, N Default: N Enter a 'Y' if you want an Individual/Group Alert Tone is to be sounded when a valid sequence is received. Enter a 'N' if you do not want any Alert Tones to be sounded. .P CALL LIGHT 4767 Choices: Y, N Default: N Enter a 'Y' if you want to enable the LEDs and Displays when a valid sequence is received. Enter a 'N' if you do not want any LEDs and Displays. .P SIGNALLING STD 4728 Choices: ZVEI Modified ZVEI French Modified ZVEI 70 ms CCIR 100 ms CCIR EEA Default: ZVEI .P ALERT TONE RESET 4729 The Call Alert beeps can be either automatically or manually reset. Manual reset can be done by the user pressing any button, such as the PTT. If not reset, the Call Alert beeps will repeat once every six seconds. Automatic reset will cause the radio to sound only one single four beep Call Alert tone. .P PRIMARY DECODE 4734 The radio may have two addresses for receiving selective calls. One is the Primary Decode and the other is the Secondary Decode Sequence. When you have two Call Types specified on the signalling system, the first choice applies to the Primary Decode, the second entry applies to the Secondary Decode. Specify which Decode Sequence you desire to be used as the Primary Decode. .P SECONDARY DECODE 4735 The radio may have two addresses for receiving selective calls. One is the Primary Decode and the other is the Secondary Decode Sequence. When you have two Call Types specified on the signalling system, the first choice applies to the Primary Decode, the second entry applies to the Secondary Decode. Specify which Decode Sequence you desire to be used as the Secondary Decode. .P BASE CALL ENCODE 4736 Specify here which Encode Sequence(s) will be used for Base Call. Base Call is sent by pressing the Select button on the front of the radio. Usually the letters 'bC' will be seen on the radio display. Press PTT to send the Base Call sequence(s). .P PTT ENCODE SEQUENCES 4737 These sequences can be attached to each PTT press. When and how the sequences are sent on PTT is specified on the Signalling System screen. A variety of choices are available there. .P EXTERNAL CALL ENCODE 4738 An External Call button may be connected to the rear of the radio. Specify here which Encode Sequence(s) will be sent each time the External Call button is pressed. Be sure to specify which pin the External Call button is connected to on the Accessory Connector (see Radio Wide screen.) .P PTT ID (SELECT V) 4769 The radio can send one or more sequences on PTT press or release. Each sequeence can be one to seven digits. Up to three sequences can be concantenated. Choices: PRE Sent on every PTT press PRE/ONCE Sent on PTT press, if not in Auto Reset mode PRE/REPEAT Sent periodically during each transmission POST Sent on each PTT release BOTH A combination of PRE and POST BOTH/ONCE On press and release, if not in Auto Reset BOTH/REPEAT Periodically, and always on PTT release NO PTT ID is never sent Default: PRE .P CALL TYPES (SELECT V) 4770 This is used in conjunction with the Primary and Secondary Decode to determine what ergonomic response that the radio will have after a selective call is received. The first entry specifies how a Primary Decode sequnece is processed; the second entry specifies how a Secondary Decode is processed. Call Alert can provide an Alert Tone (4 beeps) and a flashing Call Light. This ergonomic response is cleared by any button press or PTT press. A Call Alert does not affect the receiver muting characteristics. A Call Alert with Voice does. The call can either be manually reset or automatically reset, depending upon the Conversation Reset choice. A Voice Selcall automatically mutes after a carrier break, and the ergonomic response does too. The Voice Selcall ergonomic response is an Alert Tone (two beeps) and a flashing Call Light. Choices: Call Alert Call Alert w/Voice Voice Selcall Call Alert AND Voice Selcall Call Alert w/Voice AND Voice Selcall Default: Call Alert .P } VIEW DPL USERS 4251 This will allow you to directly goto a specific user by typing in their user number. You may only goto enabled users. This will also allow you to enable a user. This makes it a little easier to add a user because you will be able to add a user as you are looking at the whole picture instead of having to go back to the previous screen and then add a user. Once you get done adding a user, you can return to the previous screen and you will already be at the newly enabled users information. You can now edit the users information. .P VIEW DPL USERS 4250 This will allow you to directly goto a specific user by typing in their user number. You may only goto enabled users. This will also allow you to enable a user. This makes it a little easier to add a user because you will be able to add a user as you are looking at the whole picture instead of having to go back to the previous screen and then add a user. Once you get done adding a user, you can return to the previous screen and you will already be at the newly enabled users information. You can now edit the users information. .P ACCESS CODE 4253 This unit can be programmed over-the-air using a mobile or a portable radio with a DTMF keypad. Over-the-air programming is useful for minor changes after the system has been initially set up and installed. The access code is used to enter the program mode. Once you have entered the program mode, you may modify any of the system configuration features or the user config uration features. To enter the program mode, enter the access code fol lowed by a "#" key. Listen for chirps, which indicate proper access. The default access code is 12310. The range is 00000 - 12310. .p In order to exit the program mode, you must enter a "99" followed by a "#" key. Listen for a ringing prompt tone, which confirms that you have exited program mode. !!!!!!!!!!!!!! WARNING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do NOT embed a "99" string at the end of your access code! If you do, you will be issuing the exit program mode command and thus will NOT be able to get into the program mode! .p MORSE ID INTERVAL 4254 The Morse Code station identification can be programmed in frequency, interval, and speed. Each user has its own independent station ID timer that is accurate to one second per interval. When the station ID is sent, the timer is reset. The call is transmitted on the first dispatch message after the timer has expired. The default interval is 15 minutes. The range is 1 - 99 minutes. .P MORSE ID SPEED 4255 The Morse Code station identification can be programmed in frequency, interval, and speed. During normal dispatch, the minimum character speed will be 15 wpm. This allows the "List" functions (using Morse code as a format) to be sent at a very slow speed, while maximizing airtime use during normal dispatch. The default speed is 22 wpm. The range is 4 - 25 wpm. .P MORSE ID FREQUENCY 4256 The Morse Code stations identification can be programmed in frequency, interval, and speed. The default frequency is 1200 Hz. The range is 400 - 2000 Hz. .P COURTESY TONE FREQUENCY 4257 The courtesy tone is used for courtesy tone and prompt beeps. Courtesy tones and prompt beeps are usually sent when the user unkeys. They are an indication to the other users that it is okay to key up. Without the cour tesy tone and prompt beeps, the user generally will wait for the repeater to drop before keying up. The default frequency is 1000 Hz. The range is 400 - 2500 Hz. A possible reason to change the frequency would be to differentiate between co-channel repeaters to know which repeater site is active. You must enable the COURTESY TONE itself on a user by user basis. .P SYSTEM ID/CARRIER REPEAT ID 4258 A user number may be assigned as the system id so that the repeater will identify every MORSE ID INTERVAL. Before sending the System ID, the follow ing conditions must be met: a. The MORSE ID INTERVAL timer must expire. b. The ZR310 must be inactive (TPL/DPL Decode LED off). c. The System ID must have a user number programmed. The System ID user will be referenced for TPL/DPL encode and MORSE ID to send. An enabled or disabled user number can be used. The default is 00. The range is 00 - 70. The MORSE code station ID is sent after a 0.75 second keyup delay. .P ACC/TX SQUELCH CODE 4259 An accessory device such as a tone remote or local microphone may need the ZR310 to encode a particular TPL tone or DPL code in order to communicate with a specific user group. This value indicates the TPL tone or the DPL code that the accessory device needs the ZR310 to encode. When an accessory keys the transmit radio, the ZR310 will disable the repeater transmit hold time until 30 seconds of no accessory transmit has expired. The default is 00. The range is 00 (CSQ) - any supported TPL tone or DPL code. .P ANTI-KERCHUNKER TIMER 4260 This feature is intended to help discourage users from keying and then quickly dekeying the repeater ("kerchunking"). Users will often do this to determine whether or not they are within range of the repeater. The first transmission from a user must be longer than the value of this timer in order for the programmed transmit hold time not to be used. The default is 0.0 seconds. The range is from 0.0 - 5.0 seconds in 0.1 second increments. .p TIMEOUT TIMER 4261 This is a "stuck mic" timeout feature. Its setting determines the maxium amount of time a mobile may transmit on the channel. Each time the TPL/DPL decode stops, the timer is reset. During a timeout condition, you will hear an alert tone before the transmit radio unkeys. The default value is 3 minutes. The range is from 1 - 9 minutes in 1 minute increments. .P STATUS 4262 This indicates the status of the current user. A user has three types of status; disabled, enabled, or reserved. A nonactive user would be disabled. An active user would be enabled. A user MUST BE ENABLED BEFORE the user can be reserved. A reserved user is an active user who is temporarily inacti vated for seasonal user or a possible "no-pay" condition. A reserved user may also be a reserved TPL tone or DPL code that is reserved for future use. A reserved user will keep the tone active in the repeater, preventing other co-channel repeater operators from seeing the tone as "availabe". If a user keys up on a reserved user number, the transmitter will be keyed but it does not repeater any audio. It sends a beep tone for the duration of the transmission. .P RX SQUELCH CODE 4263 The ZR310 can decode all 50 TPL tones and up to 20 DPL codes. The TPL user numbers are 1 - 50 and they have fixed frequencies. The DPL user numbes are 51 - 70 and they can be assigned any valid DPL code. When you set the DPL decode number, the DPL encode will automatically be set the same as the decode. Refer to the table below for users and their assigned codes.

The first time the user unkeys, the ZR310 sends the MORSE ID. If the user keys up again, voice communictions may occur during the ID. The ID is sent at 30% deviation and a selectable speed from 4 to 25 words per minute (wpm). With system programming, the MORSE ID Interval, MORSE ID Speed, and MORSE ID Frequency can be assigned. The default is a blank or no MORSE ID (incidated by spaces). The range is any combination of digits 0 -9, and letters A-Z and can be up to 8 characters long. .P TX HANG TIME 4265 This is the amount of time the repeater transmitter remains keyed on the channel after mobile activity is no longer detected. The default is 0.2 seconds. It ranges from 0.0 seconds to 25.0 seconds. .P PL/DPL DURING HANG 4266 Normally the repeater encode signal follows the mobile encode. However, you can leave a TPL or DPL encode on during the transmitter hang time. By leaving the encode on, you can eliminate the decode time between tranmis sions, thus not losing any audio. The default is N. Choose Y to leave the encode on during transmit hold time, or N to turn it off. .P PRIVACY MODE 4267 The privacy mode prevents new TPL tones or DPL codes from being decoded during the transmit hold time. The default is N. Choose Y to enable privacy mode, or N to disable it. .P COURTESY TONE 4268 The courtesy tone is a beep that sounds whenever a user unkeys. It is helpful when a group of mobiles with strong (full quieting) signals are close to the repeater, because it is often difficult to determine when a mobile unkeys. You can set the tone frequency with the System Programming (Courtesy Tone Freq). The courtesy beep will assist in conserving airtime so that each mobile doesn't wait for the repeater to drop each time between transmissions. The system operator can use this feature on a "per user basis" to gain additional revenue from users desiring the beep, or to indi cate certain groups of users. The default is N. Choose Y to enable the courtesy tone, or N to disable it. .P GOTO/ADD USER 4269 This allows you to go directly to a specific user without having to use the F4/F3 keys to scroll through the list. This also allows you to directly enable a user. .P PL USERS 4270 This is a list of all the TPL tone users. The only users that will be accessible are the enabled users. The F6 key will toggle between the TPL users and the DPL users. .P PL USER GOTO/ADD USER 4271 This will allow you to directly goto a specific user by typing in their user number. You may only goto enabled users. This will also allow you to enable a user. This makes it a little easier to add a user because you will be able to add a user as you are looking at the whole picture instead of having to go back to the previous screen and then add a user. Once you get done adding a user, you can return to the previous screen and you will already be at the newly enabled users information. You can now edit the users information. .P } UNIT ID 4272 When multiple ZR320s are used with a ZR330, or multiple ZR330s, the Unit ID is used to distinguish between different ZR320s in the system. A typical application would be a single ZR330 with foreign exchange (FX) lines for calling into more than one dialing area. The default is 0. The range is 0 - 9. .P MORSE ID 4273 If set, the ZR320 transmits the call sign of the repeater station at the end of each phone call. The station ID option sets the station's Morse Code ID. The ID is sent at the end of each call at 30% deviation and 25 words per minute (wpm). The ID tone frequency is 1 kHz. The default is a blank field. The maximum length is 8 characters. .P AUTOCALL USER 4274 The autocall user number serves two purposes: a. Designates a default user, who is called if a caller does not specify a user number within five seconds after making a connection to the ZR320. This works in conjunction with the single-user/multi-user mode. b. Determines what action to take when the phone rings, and the ZR320 is operating in single-user mode. The default is 00. The range is 00 - 99. .P ACCESS CODE 4275 The access code must be entered before calling the user number and steer ing digit to sign-on the ZR320. The default is '*'. The range is digits 0 -9 and '*'. The code can be up to eight digits long. .P DEACCESS CODE 4276 The deaccess code must be entered before calling the user number to discon nect a call in progress. The default is '#'. The range is 0 - 9 and '#'. The code can be up to eight digits long. .P TOLL BYPASS CODE 4277 The toll bypass code is a code that can be entered from a radio prior to entering the Access Code to bypass the toll restrict digits 1 and 2. It eliminates any dialing restrictions. This feature works in conjuction with the toll restrict 1 and toll restrict 2 information. The default is "99". .P PROGRAM CODE 4278 The program code is used to gain access to the ZR320's program mode from a DTMF equipped radio, portable, or DTMF telephone. It is not required for RSS programming. The default is 12320. It may be any digit 0 - 9. It must be exactly five digits in length. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! WARNING !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Do NOT make the program code a subset of the access code. If you do, the ZR320 will not be programmable over the air. .P RINGS TO ANSWER 4279 The rings to answer feature determines when the ZR320 begins ringing on the channel (single-user) or when it answers the phone (multi-user). In single-user mode, the ZR320 doesn't need an overdial digit so it proceeds with the call when the number of rings from the PSTN has exceeded the number set. In multi-user mode, the ZR320 answers the phone after the number of rings from the PSTN has exceeded the count as set above. The rings to answer can be set to : a. 1 ring before answering (default) b. 3 rings before answering c. 5 rings before answering .P DISCONNECT ON BUSY 4280 The ZR320 can use the VOX circuit for detecting a busy signal on the telephone line. AFter 10 cycles of busy tone are detected, the call is terminated. The Detect Busy can be set for: a. NO CHECKING for busy signal b. CHECK for busy signal during first 20 seconds of call (default) c. CHECK for busy signal continuously throughout the call .P RADIO TIMEOUT 4281 Because the radio party must be in control of the interconnect at all times, some means of automatically terminating a call is required. The Inactivity Timer is the amount of time that the ZR320 allows the call to continue without the presence of carrier. The Inactivity Timer is a safety net for times when a radio gets out of range and cannot terminate the call. The Radio Timeout can be set to: a. 30 seconds (default) b. 45 seconds c. 60 seconds .P CALL LIMIT 4282 The ZR320 has a call limit timer that is used to restrict the length of calls. Double warning beeps are sent every 3 seconds starting 15 seconds before the call is to be terminated. The call limit timer can be set to: a. Off b. 3 minutes (default) c. 5 minutes d. 10 minutes .P QCII TONE GROUPS 4283 QCII Tone Groups 1 and 2 are used for selecting tones for signalling pag ers. The user number is used to select the tones. Each digit in the user number can be set to correspond with a frequency in one of six tone groups. The first digit of the user number (in the 10's place) corresponds to the first tone from the QCII and the second digit of the user number (in the 1's place) corresponds to the second tone from the QCII. If the first and second digits generate the same frequency, a group call (an eight-second tone of the same frequency) will be issued. The defaults are tone group 1 for QCII Tone 1 and tone group 2 for QCII Tone Group 2. The QCII Group 1 and Group 2 digits can be set to correspond to frequencies in tone groups 1-6. .P RING ON CHANNEL 4284 The ring on channel determines how the ZR320 will ring on the air when a user is called over the radio channel. For the ZR330 user, this option has no effect; the ZR320 rings until the ZR330 answers. The Rings to Connect can be set to: a. Once and wait - The ZR320 sends a single ring over the channel and waits for the radio to answer within the mobile answer time. b. Until answer - The ZR320 rings on the air until the radio answers, for up to the mobile answer time (default). .P SINGLE-USER/MULTI-USER 4285 The ZR320 can operate in Single-User or Multi-User mode. In the Single-User mode, the call is directed to the autocall user immedi ately. In the Multi-User mode, a caller to the ZR320 must enter a user number. If the user number is not entered within five seconds of making the connec tion, the call will be put through to the autocall user. The default is N or Single-User mode. The choices are Y or Multi-User mode and N or Single-User mode. .p DUPLEX/SIMPLEX MODES 4286 Interconnect modes for a duplex repeater: * Half Duplex - This mode provides normal conversation for the caller. The radio user may only listen for speaker. Allows the radio user to interrupt the caller but the caller can not interrupt the radio user. * Full Duplex - This is normal "telephone" operation. The caller and the radio user can talk and listen at the same time. Either may interrupt the other at any time. This is the mode of operation for the ZR320/ZR330 combination. A full duplex radio is required for this mode. .P Interconnect modes for a simplex radio: * Simplex VOX - The radio user to phone connection uses the COR indi- cation of the simplex radio. The phone to radio user connection uses the voice detection circuits (VOX) of the ZR320. Both paths are talk or listen but not at the same time. The phone to radio user path or the radio user to phone path is determined on a "first-come-first- served" basis. * Simplex Prekey - Same basic operation as Simplex VOX except loss of COR from the simplex radio will key the transmitter of the simplex radio in anticipation of the phone caller speaking. .P STOP SCAN TONE 4287 You can specify a TPL tone or DPL code as the stop scan tone. This option is sytem wide, so each time a QCII page is transmitted, the set TPL/DPL will accompany it. When scanning with QCII as the squelch system on a GP300/GM300, the radio will detect the subaudible TPL/DPL, and will remain on the channel as long as the tone is transmitted. Without the TPL/DPL decode, the radio will remain on the QCII channel during scan whenever there is activity on the channel. Programming a TPL or DPL stop scan tone, however, speeds up the scanning process, because, as soon as the paging message begins, the subaudible frequency is no longer sent, and the radio will continue scanning other channels. The default is Off. The choices are Off, any TPL frequency, and DPL code (023-754). .P COURTESY TONE 4288 When using TPL with rverse-burst or DPL in a quiet area, sometimes the telephone party is unable to tell when the radio user has stopped talking. The courtesy or "roger" tone (1 kHz) indicates to the telephone user when it is time to speak. It is always disabled on radio to radio calls. The default is N. Choose "Y" to enable the tone or "N" to disable the tone. .P PRIVACY MODE 4289 Privacy mode is an option for blocking out one side of the conversation when the repeater is operating in half-duplex mode. When privacy mode is on, a high-pitched tone is sent in place of the receive audio from the radio, thus discouraging casual eavesdropping by scanner listeners, etc. The default is "N". Choose "Y" to enable the tone or "N" to disable the tone. .P CARRIER REPEAT 4300 The carrier repeat option is to enable the repeater function. If TPL/DPL has been programmed on the receive radio, only received signals with the correct TPL or DPL are repeated. The default is "Off". Choose "On" to enable the repeater or "N" to disable the repeater. .P ANSWER TIME 4301 The answer time is the amount of time allowed for a radio to answer the call before the call is forwarded to the call forward user, if such a user has been programmed. A call can be forwarded twice before it is terminated. An example of multiple call forwarding would be a user who is called at home on a ZR330. If the user does not answer, the call is forwarded to his radio. If the radio does not answer, the call gets forwarded to his pager, where the caller's number is recorded. In this way, very complicated commu nication schemes can be supported. The default is 30 seconds. The range is 10 - 60 seconds. .P DIALING MODE 4302 The ZR320 dials into the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN). When used with the ZR330, the pulse setting instructs the ZR320 to pulse dial all DTMF digits. The DTMF setting instructs the ZR320 to pass the DTMF commands from the radio or ZR330 directly to the telephone. The Dialing Mode can be set to: a. Pulse - using 40/60 make-break ratio rotary pulses at 10 pps (pulses per second) b. DTMF - using nonregenerated DTMF digits (default) .P TOLL RESTRICT 4303 Use the toll restrict feature for a repeater on an internal phone ex change. Its function is to limit telephone calls from mobile radio users. The values entered for toll restrict 1 designate certain digits to be "prohibited" as the first digit in the telephone number. The values entered for toll restrict 2 designate certain digits to be "prohibited" as the second digit in a telephone number. If a radio user dials any of the toll restrict 1 digits as the first digit or any of the toll restrict 2 digits for the second digit, the call will be terminated. The default setting is a blank field (no restrictions). Up to four separate values can be set for the toll restrict digits; each in the range of 0 - 9. .P PAGER TALK TIME 4304 When calling a tone + voice pager, the hang time determines the maximum amount of time that the caller's voice may be transmitted on the channel. If the pager hang time is set to 10, the call is terminated after 10 seconds. Also, as soon as there is a loss of carrier from a mobile, or a gap of 2 seconds is dtected in the caller's voice (using the VOX circuit), the call is terminated. The default is 10 seconds. The range is 1 - 30 seconds. .P TX HANG TIME 4305 The transmitter, or repeater, hang time is the amount of time after loss of the received signal carrier before the transmitter is actually un keyed. This keeps the transmitter from being keyed/unkeyed continuously between gaps in the conversation. The default is 3 seconds. The choices are Off, 1 second, 3 seconds, or 5 seconds. .P VOX HANG TIME 4306 When the ZR320 is operating in the simplex VOX or simplex VOX with pre-key, the VOX hang time keeps the transmitter keyed during small gaps or pauses in the telephone party's speech. The default is 1.0 second. The choices are 0.5 second, 0.8 second, 1.0 second, 1.3 second, and 1.5 second. .P COR HANG TIME 4307 During simplex operation, the COR hang timer is used to desensitize the COR input for times when the mobile is fading or picketfencing. The ZR320 remains in the mobile to telephone mode for a programmable period of time after carrier is dropped. The default is 0.0 second. The choices are 0.0 second, 0.1 second, 0.3 second, or 0.5 second. .P PHONE ONLY MODE 4308 .P USER EQUIPMENT TYPE 4309 Each user has an associated equipment "type" which determines the operating mode. The type may be a mobile radio, a portable radio, a pager or a ZR330 Rural Telephone that is supported by the ZR320. The equipment types are: a. Off - User is disabled. b. PL - PL Radio. Mobile and portable radios with PL decoding capabil ity. c. DPL - DPL Radio. Mobile and portable radios with DPL decoding capa- bility. d. TP - QCII Tone Pager. A tone only pager using the QuickCall II signalling format. e. TVP - QCII T&V Pager. A tone and voice pager using the QuickCall II signalling format. AFter the two tone sequence alerts the pager, the caller may originate a spoken message. .P f. PLT - PL Talkback. A talkback pager with PL decoding for signall- ing. The caller and the pager user may have a brief two-way conversation. g. DPT - DPL Talkback. A talkback pager with DPL decoding for signall ing. The caller and the pager user may have a brief two-way conversation. h. QCT - QCII Talkback. A talkback pager using the QuickCall II sig- nalling format. After the two tone sequence alerts the pager, the caller and the pager user may have a brief two-way conversation. i. AIR - Air. The caller is put directly on the air to voice hail the radio user. The radio user must answer within the "mobile time" for a conversation to occur. j. 330 - ZR330 Remote. A ZR330 Rural Telephone. The ZR320/ZR330 combi nation become a telephone line "extender". k. QCR - QCII Radio. A mobile or portable radio using the QuickCall II signalling format. After the two tone sequence alerts the pager, the caller may originate a spoken message. .P CALL FORWARD USER 4310 The call forward user contains the user number of the user to whom a call is forwarded if the active user does not answer. Because calls to pagers are not expected to be answered, call forwarding is not used on tone only or tone & voice pagers. Remember that a user number cannot be used more than once on the same system. Therefore, it is not possible to have one radio user that decodes TPL tone 67.0 Hz and another radio user that decodes DPL 025 on the same system since user slot 01 would have to be programmed as both TPL radio and DPL radio. Multiple users (00 and 51 - 99) can be set for an equipment type of carrier squelch. .P VIEW ALL USERS 4311 This allows you to view the settings for all available users on the system on one screen. .P } TONE LENGTH 4781 This is the standard length of each tone in this format. Used for both encode and decode functions. The default is 0.07 seconds. The range is 0.04 - 10.0 seconds. .P DURATION THRESHOLD 4782 This is the additional period the decoder will accept over the minimum decode time when decoding tones. Tones onger than the sum of the tone length and duration threshold will be rejected. The default is 0.04 sec onds. The range is from 0.04 - 1.00 seconds. .P MINIMUM DECODE TIME 4783 This is the minimum period for which a tone must be received before thet one will be detected. The default is 0.02 seconds. The range is from 0.00 - 1.07 seconds. .P FREQUENCY 4784 The tone frequency assigned to a particular digit in the SelectV format specification. The default is 300 Hz. The range is 300 - 3000 Hz. .P junk 4875 .P
