The rate must be an integer value between 5 and 40 words per minute. Default value is 20 minutes. .P Channel Control The Channel Control field indicates which board drives the channel number on the MUXbus. The three choices, STATION, REMOTE, EXTERNAL, are selected via the arrow up and arrow down keys. STATION indicates that the station control board drives channel number on the MUXbus. STATION is typically used in repeater application in which there is no dispatch console. It is not compatible with trunking models. If this field is set to STATION, the TTRC boards should not be present, and JU1 on the station control board should be in its alternate position. REMOTE indicates that the TTRC board drives channel number on the MUXbus, and EXTERNAL indicates Wildcard channel control(option C974). The default value is REMOTE. NOTE: If no TTRC board is present REMOTE will not be a choice for the Channel Control field. .P Mode Control The Mode Control field indicates which board drives the mode number on the MUXbus. The three choices, STATION, REMOTE, EXTERNAL, are selected via the arrow up and arrow down keys. STATION indicates that the station control board drives mode number on the MUXbus. REMOTE indicates that the TTRC board drives mode number on the MUXbus, and EXTERNAL indicates Wildcard mode control. The default value is STATION. NOTE: If no TTRC board is present REMOTE will not be a choice for the Mode Control field. .P Key Control The Key Control field indicates which board controls the key number for the station. The choices STATION and REMOTE are selected via the Up/ Down arrow keys. STATION indicates that the station control board controls the key number. REMOTE indicates that the TTRC module controls the key number. The default is REMOTE. NOTE: This field is set to STATION and is non-editable if no TTRC board is present. .P Memory Station The Memory Station field indicates whether or not the channel, mode, and key return to their previous values upon reset or power-up. When DISABLED, the channel,mode and key each revert to "1" after reset or power-up. The default is ENABLED. .P PA Turn On Delay The PA Turn On Delay field indicates the time to wait between antenna relay switching and keying up the PA. This delay time must be an integer number between 0 and 495 msec. The default is 31 msec. WARNING!!! CHANGING THIS FIELD MAY SEVERELY AFFECT STATION OPERATION !!! .P Key Up Delay The Key Up Delay field indicates the time to wait before checking for errors while the PA attempts to reach full power.

CHANGING THIS FIELD MAY SEVERELY AFFECT STATION OPERATION !!! .P Relay Idle Delay The Relay Idle Delay field indicates the delay time period between the PA shutdown and switching to the antenna relay. The delay must be an integer value between 0 and 495 milliseconds. Default value is 31 milliseconds. WARNING!!! CHANGING THIS FIELD MAY SEVERELY AFFECT STATION OPERATION !!! .P Disable Source The Disable Source field can have one of the three following fields: DISABLE, UNSQUELCH or MUTE REQ. DISABLE allows the Receiver Activity to be enabled after a CT (connect tone) or PL is decoded/detected. UNSQUELCH enables the Receiver Activity for the Disable Delay while searching for a PL code (conventional station). MUTE REQ enables the Receiver Activity for the Disable Delay while searching for a CT (trunking station). The default value for Disable Source is MUTE REQ. .P Disable Delay The Disable Delay field indicates the amount of time that the Disable Source is kept active. This delay must be an integer number between 0 and 997 msec. The default is 703 msec. NOTE: If Scanning Receiver is ENABLED, this field must be less than the Priority Recheck Time. If the Priority Recheck Time is set to its default of 300 msec, then the Disable Delay field should be set to 280 msec. .P Rptr Gate Holdoff Delay The Rptr Gate Holdoff Delay field indicates the delay time period between the transmitter(repeater) key-up and when the receiver audio is gated to the modulator for Repeater PTTs (option C587). This option is not compatible with trunking models or base station models. This delay can be used to prevent repeating data. Note that the station does key up during the delay time, but the audio is not gated to the modulator (it is gated to the wireline as usual). The delay must be an integer value between 0 and 9998 msec in 8 millisecond increments. Default value is 0 milliseconds. .P S-TAC Clear Rptr Delay The S-TAC Clear Rptr Delay field indicates the delay between satisfying the repeater qualifiers and a clear repeater PTT request. This delay must be an integer number between 0 and 9998 msec. The default is 750 ms for all Simulcast and Spectra-TAC stations, and 0 ms for all others. Version 5.48 or greater SSCB firmware allows the station to bypass the S-TAC Clear/Coded Rptr Delays if it has been determined that the comparator connected to the Line input of the station is not working correctly. That is, as long as a Line or Tx Coded PTT occurs before the S-TAC Clear/Coded Rptr Delay expires, the delay will remain at its set value. Once a Repeater PTT occurs the delay will default to 0 ms (immediate key up upon satisfying the repeater qualifiers) and remain at 0 ms until a subsequent Line or Tx Coded PTT occurs. .P S-TAC Coded Rptr Delay The S-TAC Coded Rptr Delay field indicates the delay between satisfying the repeater qualifiers and a coded repeater PTT request. This delay must be an integer number between 0 and 9998 msec. The default is 750 ms for all Simulcast and Spectra-TAC stations, and 0 ms for all others. Version 5.48 or greater SSCB firmware allows the station to bypass the S-TAC Clear/Coded Rptr Delays if it has been determined that the comparator connected to the Line input of the station is not working correctly. That is, as long as a Line or Tx Coded PTT occurs before the S-TAC Clear/Coded Rptr Delay expires, the delay will remain at its set value. Once a Repeater PTT occurs the delay will default to 0 ms (immediate key up upon satisfying the repeater qualifiers) and remain at 0 ms until a subsequent Line or Tx Coded PTT occurs. .P Bypass S-TAC Rptr Delay If the MSF firmware has determined that the wireline link with a S-TAC comparator has gone down, the Bypass S-TAC Rptr Delay field, when ENABLED, allows the firmware to bypass the time delay windows that are set at the Spectra-TAC Clear/Coded Repeater Delay fields. This allows the MSF base station to operate as a repeater with zero delay between the receiver and the transmitter at the same base station. The Bypass S-TAC Rptr Delay field defaults to DISABLE. .P S-TAC Mute Time The S-TAC Mute Time field indicates the amount of time that the line output of the station is to be muted when status tone generation begins (during a dekey) and when the status tone generation ceases (on key up). Values for this field can range from 0 to 10553 msec. The default value is 20 msec for conventional stations, and 0 msec for trunked. .P S-TAC Tone Frequency The S-TAC Tone Frequency field indicates the frequency at which a Spectra-TAC tone is generated. Values for this field can range from 300 to 2500 Hz. The default value is 2175 Hz. This field should contain the same frequency as the Guard Tone Frequency. The default value is 2175 Hz. .P Status Tone The Status Tone field indicates whether or not the TTRC generates the status tone during receiver inactivity. Status Tone is a continuous tone (usually 2175 Hz) generated on the wireline, usually in Spectra-TAC and Simulcast stations. The default value is ENABLED. If either Spectra-TAC or Simulcast Operation is ENABLED in the Station Model/ Options Screen, Status Tone, in most cases, MUST be ENABLED. NOTE: This field will not have any affect in stations operating in Spectra-TAC or Simulcast systems if the TTRC firmware version .P is less than 5.29. Version 5.29 and higher TTRC firmware allows the user to DISABLE Status Tone in Spectra-TAC and Simulcast systems. Previous firmware automatically generated Status Tone when the station had Spectra-TAC or Simulcast ENABLED. .P MCS Timer Period The MCS Timer Period field indicates the amount of post-dekey time, in 8 millisecond increments. This period must be an integer between 0 and 495 msec. The default value is 0 msec. .P MCS Update Time The MCS Update Time field indicates how often the station updates the EEPROM with respect to the Air Usage Time and the Hit Accumulator. This time must be an integer between 60 and 1280 minutes. The default value is 60 minutes. .P MCS Resolution Time The MCS Resolution Time field indicates the resolution of air-time accumulators. This time must be an integer between 0 and 495 seconds. The default value is 1 second. .P Failsoft The Failsoft field indicates whether or not the TTRC activates failsoft. The default value is ENABLED, except for trunked, Simulcast stations which have the Failsoft field DISABLED. Failsoft is a mode of operation that allows limited communications in trunked systems after a connection between the Central Controller and the station has been disrupted. When a station is in Failsoft, it keys up and in-cabinet repeats. During this time a sub-audible Failsoft "codeword" is transmitted along with a periodic Failsoft Tone (see Failsoft Tone Duration, Interval, and Frequency fields). .P Failsoft Tone Duration The Failsoft Tone Duration field indicates the length of time a failsoft tone is generated. Values for this field can range from 0 to 10553 msec. The default value is 280 msec. NOTE: Failsoft Tone Duration is NON-EDITABLE if TTRC is version 5.00 or greater. .P Failsoft Tone Interval The Failsoft Tone Interval field indicates the length of quiet time between each failsoft tone generation. Values for this field can range from 0 to 10553 msec. The default value is 9700 msec. NOTE: Failsoft Tone Interval is NON-EDITABLE if TTRC is version 5.00 or greater. .P Failsoft Tone Frequency The Failsoft Tone Frequency field indicates the frequency at which a failsoft tone is generated. Values for this field can range from 300 to 2000 Hz. The default value is 900 Hz. NOTE: Failsoft Tone Frequency is NON-EDITABLE if TTRC is version 5.00 or greater. .P Trunking Tickle Source The Trunking Tickle Source field determines whether the input to Trunking Tickle Source is from TX Data Line or Mute Line. If it comes from the Mute Line, Trunking Tickle Source is MUTE, and if it comes from the Tx Data Line (TDATA +/-), The Trunking Tickle Source is TX DATA. The default value for Trunking Tickle Source is TX DATA. .P Failsoft Time Out Time The Failsoft Time Out Time field indicates the length of time before initiating a tickle. Values for this field can range from 0 to 5400 sec. The default value is 1 sec. .P Failsoft Line The Failsoft Line field indicates whether or not the TTRC generates Guard Tone on the line during failsoft. The default is DISABLED. .P Site Failsoft Mode The Site Failsoft Mode field toggles between the Failsoft mode (FS), Trunking and Failsoft mode (TR & FS) and Simulcast Site Failsoft mode (SIMUL FS). The Site Failsoft Mode of operation is used for repeater in-cabinet-repeat in a trunked voting system. When FS is chosen, the repeater mutes the audio lines to and from the comparator and in-cabinet repeats when failsoft occurs and the site failsoft input on the system connector is active. When TR & FS is selected, the station in-cabinet repeats as described above in both failsoft and trunking modes. When SIMUL FS is selected, the station is forced into Failsoft when the site failsoft input is activated. It in-cabinet repeats as described .P above. This selection is normally used for simulcast trunking systems with manual or automatic Site Failsoft. Note: SIMUL FS is only available with version 5.00 or later TTRC firmware. The default for Site Failsoft Mode is FS. .P Switch On LPTT The Switch On LPTT field indicates whether or not the Tx Source, Line2 Tx Mix and Line4 Tx Mix audio gates change state during a Line Push To Talk(LPTT). The default value is DISABLED. .P Line 2 TX Mix The Line 2 TX Mix field indicates whether or not the TTRC allows audio transmission out line 2. The default value is DISABLED. .P Line 4 TX Mix The Line 4 TX Mix field indicates whether or not the TTRC allows audio transmission out line 4. The default value is DISABLED. .P DC Decode The DC Decode field indicates whether or not the TTRC activates DC Remote decode. The default value is DISABLED. .P TRC Decode The TRC Decode field indicates whether or not the TTRC activates TRC decode. The default value is ENABLED. .P TRC Tone Mix The TRC Tone Mix field determines whether the encoded TRC tones should be routed to Line 2 or Line 4. The default is Line 2. .P Guard Tone Frequency The Guard Tone Frequency field indicates the frequency at which a Guard Tone is generated. Values for this field can be toggled to 2175, 2100, 2325 or 2432 Hz. The default value is 2175 Hz. The Status Tone Frequency, which is also editable from this screen, should be set to the same frequency. The default Guard Tone Frequency value is 2175 Hz. .P HLGT Duration The HLGT Duration field indicates the length of time a High Level Guard Tone is generated. This field can be toggled between 60 and 120 msec. The default value is 120 msec. NOTE: Changing the HLGT Duration field also affects the amount of time it takes the TTRC board to detect incoming HLGT. If the HLGT Duration is set to 120 ms, it will take on average about 70 ms to detect. If it is set to 60 ms, it will take about 40 ms. .P TX Source The TX Source field determines whether the input to TX Source is from ALC audio or UN ALC audio. The default Tx Source value is ALC for conventional, and UN ALC for trunked stations. .P Un ALC Source The Un ALC Source field determines whether the input to UN_ALC Source is from LINE 1 or LINE 3. The default Un ALC Source value is LINE 1. .P Wireline Activity Source The Wireline Activity Source field determines if the input is from Line 1 or Line 3. Default is LINE 1 for both Conventional and Trunked Systems. Option C-115, Console Priority Interface, requires this field to be LINE 3. .P Mute TX Audio When ENABLED, allows muting of TX audio when no activity is present on the wireline. Default is DISABLED. .P Automatic Access is a trunking software option (C816). In the event Trunking Central is non-operational, trunking subscriber units will scan conventional repeaters until an Automatic Access Repeater is found. Automatic Access allows conventional repeaters to react to Automatic Access interrogations by trunking subscriber units. An interrogation is a 300 msec DPL burst called the Decode Word. The station responds to the interrogation with a 700 msec DPL burst called the ACK Word. Once the trunking subscriber unit has decoded the acknowledge, it uses the current station mode PL for voice conversations. An Out of Range condition is generated when trunking subscriber units drive out of range of their home system. At this time the operator can utilize the Automatic Access feature by pressing the Auto button on the control head. This causes the radio to enter the Automatic Access mode. .P NOTE : ONLY DPL codes are allowed for the Decode and ACK Words Decode Word The DECODE WORD defines the DPL code that the station will accept to allow for automatic access. This field accepts all valid DPL codes and NO ACC. NO ACC means Automatic Access is not enabled on this station. If the Decode Word is changed from NO ACC to a valid DPL code the ACK Word is set to the same DPL code and the ACK Time is set to 703 msec.

The receiver notch filter is used to filter out audio around 2175 Hz (Status Tone). The filter is located on the TTRC board on the Line Audio path from the Station Control Board. The default value is DISABLED (not bypassed). In most cases, whenever the Status Tone field is ENABLED, the Bypass RX Notch field should be DISABLED. .P MRTI Enable/Disable The MRTI Enable/Disable field indicates if the station is equipped with a phone patch interface, option C719. Option C719 is not compatible with trunking models. It allows the MRTI phone patch to be accessed via its connector (J802) on the station control board. The default value is DISABLED. .P MUXBus Seize When ENABLED, the MUXBus Seize field allows the station to use address 10, bit 0 on the MUXBus as a seize/release input. This input comes from a GCC interface wildcard in a trunking data system. The default for this field is DISABLED. .P Power Lvl Chk in Batt Rvrt This feature is used in trunking or trunking capable (C765) stations. When DISABLED, power level check is NOT performed if station goes into battery revert. When ENABLED, power level check is performed regardless. The default value is ENABLED. .P Audio Diagnostics This field indicates whether or not audio diagnostics will be performed. If ENABLED, audio diagnostics are performed upon station reset.

The External PTT input is pin 12 of the System Connector (J2 on the Junction Box), and is active low. To set a MUXbus bit in response to the External PTT Input, enter MUX, followed by A (indicating the address), followed by the MUXbus address (0-F), followed by B (indicating the bit), followed by the bit number to set (0-3). For example, MUXA2B3 sets bit 3 of MUXbus address 2 (TX PL DS) when the External PTT Input is active, and clears it when it is inactive. Also, the .P External PTT (cont.) following inputs are valid: LINE (sets bit 2 of MUXbus address 2), TRNK (sets the Trunking PTT bit on the High Speed ring), and NULL (sets nothing). Only one command may be entered via the RSS field. Some SP stations may use more than one command, in order to set multiple bits on the MUXbus in response to the External PTT Input. When reading a codeplug that contains more than one command, the External PTT field will show MULTPLE and will be non-editable. The default for this field is TRNK for trunking stations, and LINE for all others. .P Spare Output The Spare Output field indicates which bit on the MUXbus or High Speed Ring (HSR) will be used to activate the Spare Output on the stations's Junction Box. The Spare Output is pin 9 of the System Connector (J2 on the Junction Box), and is active low. To activate the Spare Output in response to a MUXbus bit being active, enter MUX, followed by A (indicating the address), followed by the MUXbus address (0-F, where A through F represent 10 through 15 on the DMP), followed by B (indicating the bit), followed by the bit number to read (0-3). For example, MUXA2B3 activates the Spare Output when bit 3 of MUXbus address 2 (TX PL DS) is active, and clears the Spare Output when it is inactive. .P Spare Output (cont.) To activate the Spare Output in response to a High Speed Ring (HSR) bit being active, enter HSR, followed by A (indicating the address), followed by the HSR address (0-4), followed by B (indicating the bit), followed by the bit number to read (0-7). For example, HSRA0B5 activates the Spare Output when bit 5 of HSR address 0 (TSTAT) is active, and clears the Spare Output when it is inactive. Also, NULL is a valid input, and it leaves the Spare Output always inactive. Only one command may be entered via the RSS field. Some SP stations may use more than one command, in order to set the Spare Output when a combination .P Spare Output (cont.) of MUXbus and/or HSR bits are active. When reading a codeplug that contains more than one command, the Spare Output field will show MULTPLE and will be non-editable. The default for this field is NULL. .P Spare Output Pin Level The Spare Output Pin Level field indicates the "active" polarity level of the spare output signal sent to the Junction Box connector at J2 pin 9. This signal can also be tapped at the TTRC board at J2900 pin 9. The active polarity can be toggled either active HIGH or LOW by means of the UP/DOWN arrow keys. The Spare Output Pin Level field defaults to active LOW. .P Clear Receiver The Clear Receiver field indicates whether or not an 87 msec beep is enabled when receiving clear. The default is DISABLED. .P Clear Transmit The Clear Transmit field indicates whether or not an 87 msec beep is enabled when transmitting clear.

Frequency ranges are: VHF_Range_1 132-158 MHz UHF_Range_1 403-435 MHz VHF_Range_2 146-174 MHz UHF_Range_2 435-475 MHz 800 MHz (Rx) 806-825 MHz and 800 MHz (Tx) 851-870 MHz 896 MHz (Rx) 896-902 MHz and 896 MHz (Tx) 935-941 MHz The Tx Loopback Frequency must be set as follows for: 800 MHz -- Tx Loopback Freq=Rx Loopback Freq+43.200 MHz. UHF (5 MHz Tx to Rx spacing)--Tx Loopback Freq=Rx Loopback Freq+4.8 MHz. Others -- Tx Loopback Freq = Rx Loopback Freq. NOTE: This version of the field programmer does not calculate Loopback Frequencies automatically. .P EOM Time The EOM Time field contains the time, in milliseconds, to keep the station keyed and generate an EOM signal after a coded PTT goes away. The default is 193 msec. NOTE: The EOM Time field is set to 000 msec and is non-editable in SSCB firmware versions below 5.00. .P TSTAT on MUXbus The TSTAT on MUXbus field indicates whether or not the RWC5 on the MUXbus will indicate a TSTAT failure. TSTAT on MUXbus is ENABLED if the firmware version is greater than 5.00, and DISABLED for versions below 5.00. When ENABLED, RWC5 will indicate a TSTAT failure, should one occur. This field is non-editable. .P Fwd & Refl on MUXbus The Fwd & Refl (Forward and Reflected) on MUXbus field controls whether RWC7 and RWC6 will indicate forward and reflected power alarms (respectively) on the MUXbus. If ENABLED alarms will be indicated on the MUXbus. A watt meter element must be present in the station in order for this feature to function properly. The default is DISABLED. NOTE: The Fwd & Refl on MUXbus field is set to DISABLED and is non-editable if the SSCB firmware version is below 5.00. .P LPTT Delay The LPTT (Line Push-To-Talk) Delay field defines the length of time the station will wait for a Tx Code detect before keying the station after a wireline key command has been issued. This is used to prevent a secure station from keying in the clear mode when code follows the TRC keyup sequence. The range for this field is 0 to 9998 milliseconds. The default is 0. NOTE: The LPTT Delay field is set to DISABLED and is non-editable if the TTRC firmware version is below 5.00. .P Holdoff Delay with PL When the Holdoff Delay with PL field is ENABLED, the station transmits PL/DPL during the Holdoff Delay. When DISABLED, no PL/DPL is transmitted during the delay. The default is ENABLED. NOTE: The Holdoff Delay with PL field is set to ENABLED and is non-editable if the SSCB firmware version is below 5.00. .P FT Mute Time The FT (Function Tone) Mute Time is the amount of time that TX audio is muted after a TRC key command. This is used to prevent guard tone or function tone from being transmitted over the air. The range for this field is 0 to 9998 milliseconds. The default is 30. .P Diversity Equipped When ENABLED the Diversity Equipped field indicates that an RLC board is present and diagnostics will be performed for two receivers. When DISABLED diagnostics will only be performed for one receiver. The default is DISABLED. NOTE: If the SAM codeplug version is less than 2.00, this field displays NO SAM and is non-editable. .P GCC-480 Equipped When ENABLED, SAM is factory programmed to operate with a GCC-480, General Communications Controller. If a GCC-480 is present in the station, special non-editable I/O functions are found in the SAM Action Table Conditions screen. When DISABLED, SAM will not operate properly with a GCC-480. NOTE: If the SAM codeplug version is less than 2.00, this field displays NO SAM and is non-editable. .P Gate Data Always When ENABLED the Gate Data Always field indicates that the SAM board will always gate transmit data to the station's modulator. When DISABLED the SAM board will only gate transmit data to the station's modulator when Data PTT is active. The default is ENABLED. NOTE: If the SAM codeplug version is less than 2.00, this field displays NO SAM and is non-editable. .P MDC Pretime Bit Sync When ENABLED the MDC Pretime Bit Sync field indicates that during the pretime of an encoded MDC message from SAM, the MDC bit sync pattern will be repeatedly transmitted. This bit sync transmission is in addition to the bit sync which is sent at the beginning of the MDC message, as part of that message, and is intended to cover the time which is needed for the transmitter to come to full power. When DISABLED no bit sync will be sent during the encode pretime. However, bit sync will be sent at the beginning of the MDC message, as part of that message. The default is DISABLED. NOTE: If the SAM codeplug version is less than 2.00, this field displays NO SAM and is non-editable. .P Inactivity Delay The valid range is from 0 to 357913 minutes (approximately 247 days). A value of 0 in the Inactivity Delay field indicates an infinite delay. This delay determines the amount of time that a receiver can be inactive before SAM performs a loopback test to verify that the receiver has not failed. NOTE: If the SAM codeplug version is less than 2.00, this field displays NO SAM and is non-editable. .P RF Couple @ T=R Stations When ENABLED, the receiver will stay unmutted at T=R stations, allowing transmitted data to be received and sent out on line 2. .P LLGT Dropout Time The LLGT dropout time defines the time that the station must lose detection of low-level guard tone before it de-keys. Values for this field can range from 0 to 9998 msec. The default is 150 msec. .P Full Rx Inhibit The Full Rx Inhibit field determines where Receiver Wireline is muted when MUXBus RX_INH is active. The default is DISABLED. When Full Rx Inhibit is DISABLED, the MUXBus RX_INH bit mutes Receiver Audio to the Receiver Wireline, but Status Tone, encoded tones, and alarms are NOT muted. When Full Rx Inhibit is ENABLED, the MUXBus RX_INH bit mutes ALL audio to the Receiver Wireline. NOTE: The Full Rx Inhibit feature is only present in TTRC firmware version 5.00 or greater. If the TTRC version is less than 5.00 the Full Rx Inhibit field is DISABLED and non-editable. .P TSTAT DOD This field will only be used by the station if the TTRC firmware is version R5.29 or greater. The TSTAT DOD field is NON-EDITABLE if the TTRC version is less than 5.00. The TSTAT DOD (Drop-Out-Delay) determines the amount of time that the TSTAT signal on the Trunking Connector (Pin 10 on J2901) remains active after TX Data (Transmitter Data) ceases (for any reason). This gives the Central Controller an indication that the station is not operating properly, so that it will not assign the particular station. .P For example: The TSTAT DOD field is set to 300 msec. If for some reason TX Data ceased, but resumed within 300 msec (before the TSTAT DOD time expired), no change in the TSTAT signal would occur (assuming that forward/reflected power levels are OK). The TSTAT signal would still be ACTIVE. If TX Data ceases for more than 300 msec (ie. a line became disconnected), the TSTAT signal would become INACTIVE, and remain there until TX Data resumes. The TSTAT on the Trunking Connector is not the same as the TSTAT on the MUXBus (Address 13, D0). It is possible for the TSTAT signal to fail even though the MUXBus is NOT indicating a problem. The default for the TSTAT DOD is 300 milliseconds. .P RX DETECT SENSITIVITY Allows the user to control the sensitivity of receiver code detection. The default setting is HIGH. HIGH allows a greater sensitivity than MEDIUM, but also creates a greater chance of false code detects, or "falsing". LOW requires a stronger signal than MEDIUM, with a lower chance of "falsing". If the field says CUSTOM, the programmed sensitivity values in the codeplug are not standard values. Once the field has been changed from CUSTOM, the values cannot be recalled. .P EDIT CHANNEL INFORMATION The EDIT CHANNEL INFORMATION function allows the user to change channel data. The Tab/ShiftTab keys are used to move the cursor between data fields. The PgUp/PgDn keys are used to move the cursor between pages. Upon entering the routine, the user selects the desired channel by pressing the UP/DOWN Arrow Keys. The user can quickly view each of the enabled channels by repeatedly pressing the UP or DOWN Arrow Key. To edit any of the channel information, press the TAB or ENTER Key to advance to the desired field. *MODE INFORMATION is only displayed with channels that have MODE SLAVING ENABLED. .P DELETING CHANNELS Pressing F7 causes the current channel to be deleted as long as it is not channel 00, or channel 01 in a one channel station. (The codeplug must always have channels 00 and 01). Example: You have a 5 channel station and want to delete channel 3. Select 03 in the EDIT CHANNEL NUMBER field. Press F7 to delete channel 3. As a result channel 4 will now be numbered 3 (while still retaining channel 4 information) and channel 5 will be numbered 4. ADDING CHANNELS Press F8 to insert a duplicate of the currently displayed channel. The new channel is placed immediately after the channel selected. Any channels that have higher channel numbers than the .P displayed channel will have their channel numbers increased to make room for the new channel. Example: Suppose you have 4 channels enabled, and want to add a 5th. If you want the channel placed between channels 1 and 2, select 1 in the CHANNEL NUMBER field, then press F8. Channels 2, 3, and 4 will become 3, 4, and 5, respectively. Channels 0 and 1 will remain unchanged, and channel 2 will be an exact duplicate of channel 1. BEFORE: 0 1 2 3 4 | |\ \ \ \ AFTER: 0 1 N 3 4 5 {N--new channel (channel 2 in example)} .P MODE SLAVING When ENABLED, MODE SLAVING forces the DEFAULT MODE NUMBER to be used with this channel. The MODE SLAVING parameter is ENABLED/ DISABLED by using the Up/Down arrow keys. If MODE SLAVING is ENABLED, the default mode's information is below the DEFAULT MODE NUMBER field. This information may be edited, or a new default mode can be selected by changing the DEFAULT MODE NUMBER field. .P MODE LOCKED When DISABLED, MODE LOCKED allows the mode to be changed from the default mode via remote control or by using the front panel switch. If MODE SLAVING is disabled, then the MODE LOCKED parameter is automatically DISABLED and is not accessible. The parameter is ENABLED/DISABLED by using the Up/Down arrow keys. .P TX IDLE FREQUENCY The Tx Idle Frequency is equal to the Tx Frequency unless the Tx Frequency is equal to the Rx Frequency. Frequncy ranges are: VHF_Range_1 132-158 MHz UHF_Range_1 403-435 MHz VHF_Range_2 146-174 MHz UHF_Range_2 435-475 MHz 800 MHz (Rx) 806-825 MHz and 800 MHz (Tx) 851-870 MHz 896 MHz (Rx) 896-902 MHz and 896 MHz (Tx) 935-941 MHz The RX TRAY field indicates which receiver tray is being utilized. All TX and TX IDLE frequencies are located in R1. The RX frequency may be in either R1 or R2. .P TX FREQUENCY The transmit frequency is entered in MHz. When an entered frequency is out of the specified range, an error occurs. Frequency ranges are: VHF_Range_1 132-158 MHz UHF_Range_1 403-435 MHz VHF_Range_2 146-174 MHz UHF_Range_2 435-475 MHz 800 MHz (Rx) 806-825 MHz and 800 MHz (Tx) 851-870 MHz 896 MHz (Rx) 896-902 MHz and 896 MHz (Tx) 935-941 MHz The RX TRAY field indicates which receiver tray is being utilized. All TX and TX IDLE frequencies are located in R1. The RX frequency may be in either R1 or R2. .P RX FREQUENCY The receive frequency is entered in MHz. A range error is detected when an out of range frequency is entered. Frequency ranges are : VHF_Range_1 132-158 MHz UHF_Range_1 403-435 MHz VHF_Range_2 146-174 MHz UHF_Range_2 435-475 MHz 800 MHz (Rx) 806-825 MHz and 800 MHz (Tx) 851-870 MHz 896 MHz (Rx) 896-902 MHz and 896 MHz (Tx) 935-941 MHz The RX TRAY field indicates which receiver tray is being utilized. All TX and TX IDLE frequencies are located in R1. The RX frequency may be in either R1 or R2. .P CALL SIGN The CALL SIGN field determines the Morse Code sequence to be generated by the station. If the CALL SIGN field is left blank, no CALL SIGN will be generated for the particular channel. If a CALL SIGN is entered, the station will key and generate the call sign in Morse Code, at user selectable intervals and frequencies, while operating on that particular channel. See the Advanced Information Screen ID CALL SIGN fields for customizing the generation of the call sign. The data entered can be up to 10 characters in length and can be any combination of alpha-numeric characters, and '/'. .P TX IDLE CALCULATION This field may be toggled between AUTO and MANUAL. If AUTO is selected, the tx idle frequency will automatically be set to the tx frequency unless the tx frequency is equal to the rx frequency. If the tx frequency is equal to the rx frequency then the tx idle is offset by a predetermined amount. If MANUAL is selected, the user must enter the tx idle frequency. .P RX 2 TRAY TUNING FREQUENCY The range for this field is determined by the range of the second receiver tray on the model/options screen. Its value is the median frequency of all R2 tray Rx frequencies. A range error is detected when an out of range frequency is entered. Frequency ranges are : VHF_Range_1 132-158 MHz UHF_Range_1 403-435 MHz VHF_Range_2 146-174 MHz UHF_Range_2 435-475 MHz 800 MHz (Rx) 806-825 MHz and 800 MHz (Tx) 851-870 MHz 896 MHz (Rx) 896-902 MHz and 896 MHz (Tx) 935-941 MHz If no R2 range has been set on the model/options screen, then this field shows NO RANGE and is non-editable. .P DEFAULT MODE NUMBER The DEFAULT MODE NUMBER field displays the default mode to use with the current channel. If MODE SLAVING is ENABLED, whenever the channel is changed the mode will change to the DEFAULT MODE NUMBER. The DEFAULT MODE's information is displayed below the DEFAULT MODE NUMBER only if MODE SLAVING is ENABLED. The DEFAULT MODE NUMBER field can be toggled to any existing mode. If any of the mode information fields are changed by the user, and the current mode is slaved to a different channel (other than the displayed channel), upon leaving the current channel screen, a new mode will be created. .P NOTE: If you desire to change common mode information in a mode slaved by more than one channel, without creating a new mode, press F10 to return to the View/Edit Screen, then press F3 to change to the Mode Information Screen. Upon exiting the Channel Information Screen, the RSS consolidates all identical modes into a single mode to save codeplug space. The mode numbers may change, but the information will remain the same. .P FREQUENCY RANGE R1 TRAY The following choices of frequency range can be selected via ARROW UP/ARROW DOWN keys: VHF_Range_1 132-158 MHz [5 Khz or 6.25 Khz steps] VHF_Range_2 146-174 MHz [5 KHz or 6.25 KHz steps] UHF_Range_1 403-435 MHz [5 KHz or 6.25 KHz steps] UHF_Range_2 435-475 MHz [5 KHz or 6.25 KHz steps] 800 (RX) 806-825 (TX) 851-870 MHz [12.5 kHz steps] 896 (RX) 896-902 (TX) 935-941 MHz [12.5 kHz steps] R1 tray contains all Tx frequencies and may contain Rx frequencies if those Rx frequencies are in the same frequency band as the Tx frequencies. WARNING!!!!! ALL CHANNEL FREQUENCIES WILL CONTAIN ZEROS AFTER CHANGING THIS FIELD! .P SYNTHESIZER FOR R1 TRAY The synthesizer field indicates whether or not a MOSAIC chip is used in the frequency synthesizer. This field is not written to the codeplug. The parameter is toggled between MOSAIC and NON-MOSAIC by using the Up/Down arrow keys. Frequencies will remain the same, but they will be coded to the codeplug differently if the value of this field is changed. NON-MOSAIC refers to a synthesizer that has a prescaler chip and a divider chip. MOSAIC synthesizers do not have the prescaler synthesizer chip (Prescaler is located in the divider chip). The Defaults for the various bands are: MOSAIC -- 800 MHz, 896 MHz NON-MOSAIC -- UHF, VHF .P FREQUENCY RANGE R2 TRAY The following choices of frequency range can be selected: VHF_Range_1 132-158 MHz [5 Khz or 6.25 Khz steps] VHF_Range_2 146-174 MHz [5 KHz or 6.25 KHz steps] UHF_Range_1 403-435 MHz [5 KHz or 6.25 KHz steps] UHF_Range_2 435-475 MHz [5 KHz or 6.25 KHz steps] 800 (RX) 806-825 (TX) 851-870 MHz [12.5 kHz steps] 896 (RX) 896-902 (TX) 935-941 MHz [12.5 kHz steps] DISABLED The R2 tray contains only Rx frequencies.

ALL CHANNEL FREQUENCIES WILL CONTAIN ZEROS AFTER CHANGING THIS FIELD! .P SYNTHESIZER FOR R2 TRAY The synthesizer field indicates whether or not a MOSAIC chip is used in the frequency synthesizer. This field is not written to the codeplug. The parameter is toggled between MOSAIC and NON-MOSAIC by using the Up/Down arrow keys. If an R2 tray is not present, this field will show DISABLED. The frequency values will remain the same, but they will be coded to the codeplug differently if the value of this field is changed. NON-MOSAIC refers to a synthesizer that has a prescaler chip and a divider chip. MOSAIC synthesizers do not have the prescaler synthesizer chip (Prescaler is located in the divider chip). The Defaults for the various bands are: MOSAIC -- 800 MHz, 896 MHz NON-MOSAIC -- UHF, VHF .P REPEATER OPERATION This option if ENABLED allows in-cabinet repeat. If changed to DISABLED, the station will change from a REPEATER station to a BASE station. .P TRUNKING OPERATION This option is non-editable. If necessary to change this option, three trunking codeplugs exist on your original program disks: TRNK.DEF, TRNKSTAC.DEF and TRNKSIMU.DEF that will enable the user to change this station type. Return to GET/SAVE/PROGRAM Codeplug Data Menu and read the desired file from disk. WARNING!!! The channel frequencies will be zero. It will be necessary to enter the proper frequencies via the Channel Information screen. Re-reading the codeplug data will overwrite the present codeplug. To preserve the present codeplug, save to disk prior to reading any code- plug. .P SPECTRA TAC OPERATION This is a non-editable field. If ENABLED this option generates a 2175 Hz tone onto Line 2 (only) during time of no receiver activity and no Rx Code Detect. Also, clear receiver audio is routed through the SpectraTAC equalizer filter before being sent to Line 2. If necessary to change this field, two SpectraTAC codeplugs exist on the original program disks: CONVSTAC.DEF and TRNKSTAC.DEF. These enable the user to change the station type. Return to GET/SAVE/PROGRAM Codeplug Data Menu and read the desired file from disk. .P SECURE OPERATION This field indicates if the station will operate as a transparent station or an encode/decode station. A secure board is necessary (option C514) to toggle this field. For proper station operation for an encode/decode station, at least one of the following options is also necessary: C388 - DES Encryption C794 - DVP Encryption C795 - DES-XL Encryption C797 - DVP-XL Encryption If a secure board is not present this field will contain DISABLED and be non-editable. If a TTRC board is present, the Status Tone field in the Advanced Information Screen will be ENABLED when SECURE OPERATION is TRANSPARNT, and DISABLED when ENC/DECODE. .P XL DECRYPTION OPERATION This field indicates the mode of secure operation. When disabled, the station operates in a secure Cipher Feedback (CFB) mode. CFB is used with asynchronous communications and does not require the station to buffer the incoming secure data. When enabled, the station operates in a secure XL mode. XL is used with synchronous communications and uses the station's 80 msec buffer so that no portion of the received data is lost. Options C388(DES Encryption) or C794 (DVP Encryption) will DISABLE this field. .P DUPLEX OPERATION Option C332 enables FULL DUPLEX operation. The option moves JU4202 to its normal position and JU4205 to its alternate position on the TTRC board. The other toggle choice is HALF DUPLEX. If TRUNKING OPERATION is ENABLED this field is not editable and will be FULL DUPLEX. .P SIMULCAST OPERATION This field is non-editable. If necessary to change this field, two codeplug files exist on the original program disks: CONVSIMU.DEF and TRNKSIMU.DEF. These will enable the user to change the station to a simulcast type.

If DISABLED, all associated fields on the Advanced Information Screen will display NO TTRC. .P SECURE EQUIPPED When ENABLED, this field indicates a Secure board is present. The other choice is DISABLED. If this field is changed from DISABLED to ENABLED, a temporary screen will appear while the program reads in the default Secure codeplug. The default codeplug is configured for transparent operation. If this is changed from ENABLED to DISABLED, all Secure board information is removed and cannot be recovered. If DISABLED, all associated fields on the Advanced Information Screen will display NO SECURE. .P MCS EQUIPPED When ENABLED, this field indicates an MCS board is present. The other choice is DISABLED. If this field is changed from ENABLED to DISABLED, all MCS information is removed and cannot be recovered. If this field is changed from DISABLED to ENABLED, a default MCS table is created and slaved to mode zero to match factory programming. .P SAM EQUIPPED When ENABLED, this field indicates a SAM board is present. The other choice is DISABLED. If this field is changed from DISABLED to ENABLED, a temporary screen will appear while the program reads in the default SAM codeplug. If this field is changed from ENABLED to DISABLED, all SAM information is removed and cannot be recovered. If DISABLED, all associated fields on the Advanced Information Screen will display NO SAM. .P PASSWORD EQUIPPED When ENABLED, the PASSWORD EQUIPPED field indicates that the station is password protected. If the station is password protected, the RSS user will be required to enter a password before any communication with the station is allowed. If the SSCB firmware is version 5.XX or greater, the PASSWORD Equipped field can be toggled between DISABLED and ENABLED by using the Up/Down Arrow keys. The PASSWORD EQUIPPED field reads DISABLED and is non-editable, if the SSCB firmware version is less than 5.XX. NOTE: PASSWORD PROTECTION IS A FEATURE PRESENT ONLY IN VERSION 5.XX OR GREATER STATION CONTROL FIRMWARE. .P PASSWORD EQUIPPED If the PASSWORD EQUIPPED field is changed from DISABLED to ENABLED, the user will be prompted to enter a password when an attempt to program the station is made. The station WILL NOT be password protected UNTIL the station is successfully programmed with the PASSWORD EQUIPPED field set to ENABLED. If the PASSWORD EQUIPPED field is changed from ENABLED to DISABLED, the station remains password protected until the station is programmed. The user will be required to enter the current password when an attempt to program the station is made. When the data is successfully programmed to the codeplug, the station is no longer password protected, and any subsequent communication with the station will not be password protected. .P SP NUMBER If Special Product (SP) code is loaded in the current codeplug image, the SP NUMBER field displays the SP number. This field contains NO SP if an SP is not loaded. The SP NUMBER field is always non-editable. SP code is loaded via the GET/Save Menu. .P SMARTZONE OPERATION SmartZone is a complex wide-area, trunked system configuration. At the time of the release of this RSS, SmartZone Operation is only available by ordering the X235ADSP option, which includes special SSCB and TTRC firmware, and special codeplug files. The current shipping MSF firmware (SSCB R5.52, TTRC R5.41, SECURE R4.28) DOES NOT SUPPORT SMARTZONE OPERATION. There are plans to include SmartZone Operation in the standard shipping firmware. When this is done, the SMARTZONE OPERATION field will control the firmware. CURRENTLY THIS FIELD HAS NO AFFECT ON STATION OPERATION. When the SmartZone Operation is available in standard MSF firmware, the field (FTR's) will be notified via MSIN (Motorola Servicers Information Network). .P CHANGE/VIEW REMOTE CONTROL INFORMATION The Change/View Remote Control Information screen contains all of the editable fields concerning tone remote control commands. This screen allows configuration of the station's remote control capabilities by entering various commands. Invalid commands are flagged with a warning message.

The four CODEPLUGS TO READ fields allow the user to create a station codeplug configuration using modules from several files. For example, a user can read the SSCB and SECURE codeplugs from one file, and a TTRC codeplug from another file. For more information on these fields, move the cursor to one of the four CODEPLUGS TO READ fields and press F1. The ENTER DIRECTORY NAME field contains the directory path that is searched for codeplug files. The valid disk drive letters are A-G. The directory may be changed by entering in a new directory pathname. Once a valid directory pathname has been entered the files contained in that directory will be displayed below and on subsequent pages, if neccessary. .P The ENTER FILE NAME consists of the filename. It may be entered in one of two fashions. The first is to directly enter in the filename. The second is to navigate through the files using the following keys: PgUp/PgDn: Display more files if all of the directory's files can not fit on one page. Up/Dn Arrow: These keys will move cursor up or down to the next file. Tab: Moves cursor to filename in the same row in the next column. If cursor is in last column the cursor will move to the last filename. .P ShiftTab: Moves cursor to filename in the same row in the previous column. If cursor is in first column on first page then cursor will move up to the directory pathname field so that a new directory pathname may be entered. Enter: Will read or save using the filename that is displayed on the 'Enter Filename' line. The following function keys are valid on this screen: F1: Display help information for this screen. F5: Print out the current screen to the printer. F10,Esc: Leave the current screen without reading or saving to a file. .P ALT-F9: Used to read only desired board's codeplug from a file. For example, it allows reading TTRC from one file, and SSCB from another. ALT-F9 will only work in the Enter Pathname field. For more information on the ALT-F9 functionality, press ALT-F9 then navigate to the CODEPLUGS TO READ line, then press F1. .P Upgrade Codeplug Version The purpose of the Upgrade Codeplug Version screen is to enable the RSS user to upgrade a codeplug to a newer version. All programmed settings are retained in the conversion. This allows the user to upgrade the station to newer firmware without losing current settings. SYSTEM VERSION The SYSTEM VERSION refers to groupings of shipping firmware that are able to operate together in the station. The SYSTEM VERSION field can be toggled between 1, 2, or 3. As the SYSTEM VERSION field is changed the numbers in the CHANGE TO column will change if an upgrade is possible. For example if the SSCB version is currently 4 and the SYSTEM .P VERSION is changed to 3, the SSCB CHANGE TO column will change to 5. But, if the SYSTEM VERSION is changed to 1 the SSCB CHANGE TO column will remain at 4, because downgrading of codeplugs is not supported. If a board is not present (ie. NO SAM), the CHANGE TO column will be blank and remain blank regardless of the system chosen. Press F3 to perform the upgrade(s). SYSTEM VERSION SSCB TTRC SECURE SAM 1 3 4 3 1 2 4 5 4 1 3 5 5 4 2 .P CHANGE TO (version) This is an entry field in which the user can enter the new desired individual codeplug version. The range of new version numbers can be selected using the UP/DOWN Arrow Keys. If the CHANGE TO field fails to toggle, the CURRENT codeplug version is upgraded to the most recent version and cannot be upgraded further. If no conversion is allowed, or the codeplug is not loaded, the upper right-hand window displays the message 'NON-EDITABLE FIELD'. The user toggles to the new desired version number(s) and then initiates the conversion by pressing F3. The program performs all conversions selected and redisplays the screen with the new versions in the CURRENT column. .P The following is the procedure to be followed when performing a firmware upgrade: 1) Read the station with old firmware installed. 2) Save the old codeplug to a disk file. 3) Remove power from the station. While taking precautions against electro- static discharge, replace the old firmware with the new (in all boards). 4) Re-connect the power to the station. At this point you can program the station directly* or upgrade the codeplug manually (using Upgrade Codeplug screen) and then program the station. 5) Save the new codeplug information to a disk file. * If you program directly without manually upgrading the codeplugs, the RSS will automatically detect a missmatch in codeplug and firmware versions and prompt the user on whether or not to perform the neccessary upgrade during the programming operation. .P This Screen consists of 2 editable fields. The first field is the directory that contains the SP (Special Product) code files. It may be changed by entering in a new directory pathname. Once a valid directory pathname has been entered the files contained in that directory will be displayed. The second field consists of the filename. It may be entered in one of two fashions. The first is to directly enter in the filename. (cont.) .P The second is to navigate through the files using the following keys: PgUp/PgDn: Display more files if all of the directories files can not fit on one page. Up/Dn Arrow: These keys will move cursor up or down to the next file. Tab: Moves cursor to filename in the same row in the next column. If cursor is in last column the cursor will move to the last filename. ShiftTab: Moves cursor to filename in the same row in the previous column. If cursor is in first column on first page then cursor will move up to the directory pathname field so that a new directory pathname may be entered. (cont.) .P Enter: Will intall the SP from the file whose name is displayed on the 'Enter Filename' line. The following function keys are valid on this screen: F1: Display help information for this screen. F3: Display information about the SP contained in the file. F5: Print out the current screen to the printer. F10,Esc: Leave the current screen without reading or saving to a file. .P CODEPLUG TO BE READ> The four fields on this line indicate which codeplug(s) the RSS should attempt to find and read from the file displayed in the ENTER FILE NAME field. If a codeplug type contains a YES next to it, the RSS will attempt to read that particular codeplug data from the file. Use the UP/DOWN Keys to toggle between YES and NO. By default, all codeplugs are set to YES. The YES in this field indicates that an attempt to read the particular codeplug from a file will be made. If there is no codeplug information currently read in the RSS, the SSCB field will be set to YES and NON-EDITABLE (All stations must contain SSCB codeplug information). .P Caution should be used when combining codeplug information from more than one file. It is possible to read incompatible codeplug versions (ie. SSCB 5.xx and TTRC 4.xx). If you are uncertain of the compatibility of codeplugs, enter the Upgrade Codeplug Version screen after reading the codeplugs. The Upgrade Codeplug Version screen will list compatible versions, and, if neccessary, allow upgrading of specific codeplugs to make the versions compatible. .P IPCB COMMANDS IPCB command structure is as follow: Start of Message - Module - Command - Data Character ID ("/") Module ID List -------------- module # ASCII Character Board Name 1 1 Station Control, SSCB 2 2 TRC,TTRC 3 3 MCS 4 4 Second Receiver .P IPCB_COMMANDS(cont.) 5 5 PURC Control 6 6 DTMF 7 7 DRC 8 8 VOX 9 9 GCC 10 A Secure COMMAND LIST ------------ Command Command Description Command # Format Read Address A /idAa3a2a1a0 Read Next B /idB Read Current C /idC .P IPCB_COMMANDS(cont.)

After entering the PL/DPL data, its associated representation is displayed beside it. When an invalid code is entered, the user is prompted and forced to make corrections. There is a Maximum of 61 users per table. The Rx Code for each user must be a unique PL/DPL code and there are a maximum of 24 DPL Rx codes allowed for each MCS table. The Tx Code deter- mines what PL or DPL code will be repeated when the user (Rx Code) is decoded. The Tx Code may be set to any PL, DPL, or CSQ code and duplicate transmit codes are permitted. The following page contains a listing of valid PL and DPL codes. .P VALID PL CODES: XZ - 67.0 XA - 71.9 WA - 74.4 XB - 77.0 WB - 79.7 YZ - 82.5 YA - 85.4 YB - 88.5 ZZ - 91.5 ZA - 94.8 1Z -100.0 1A -103.5 1B -107.2 2Z -110.9 2A -114.8 2B -118.8 3Z -123.0 3A -127.3 3B -131.8 4Z -136.5 4A -141.3 4B -146.2 5Z -151.4 5A -156.7 5B -162.2 6Z -167.9 6A -173.8 6B -179.9 7Z -186.2 7A -192.8 M1 -203.5 M2 -210.7 M3 -218.1 M4 -225.7 M5 -233.6 M6 -241.8 M7 -250.3 ( CSQ-Only valid for the Tx code) VALID DPL CODES: 023 025 026 031 032 043 047 051 054 065 071 072 073 074 114 115 116 125 131 132 134 143 152 155 156 162 165 172 174 205 223 226 243 244 245 251 261 263 265 271 306 311 315 331 343 346 351 364 365 371 411 412 413 423 431 432 445 464 465 466 503 506 516 532 546 565 606 612 624 627 631 632 654 662 664 703 712 723 731 732 734 743 754 .P ACCESS The MCS user is granted access to the station if this field is ENABLED. The Up/Dn Arrow keys will toggle this option. If DISABLED, the user is 'turned off' and the user's Rx Code will not be decoded. .P PRIORITY The MCS module can operate in two modes, Normal Decode Mode and Priority Decode Mode. Upon power up, reset or after reprogramming, the MCS board enters the Normal Decode Mode. In this mode, the state of the priority status parameter is not checked when decoding a PL or DPL code. As a result, any access enabled user (regardless of priority status) can access the station; however, pressing F2 will place the MCS module in the priority decode mode. While in the priority mode, the MCS module will not decode non-priority users. This feature can be used to restrict station access during special or emergency situations. The default for this field is NO. The Up/Dn Arrow keys will toggle this field. .P MCS TABLE The MCS table field allows for entry of an MCS table for editing. To edit an MCS table enter the number of the MCS table in the MCS table field. To add an MCS table enter in a number one greater than the total number of MCS tables, this will provide a default MCS table. If an invalid number is entered the user will be flagged and forced to enter a correct MCS table number. The Slaved To Mode(s) field indicates which modes this MCS table is slaved to. If the MCS table is slaved to more than 10 modes the individual modes are not listed, only a message indicating that the table is slaved to more than 10 modes. (cont.) .P FUNCTION KEY DEFINITIONS F1 - Provides HELP associated with the MCS table. F2 - Places the MCS module in the priority decode mode. While in the priority mode, the MCS module will not decode non-priority users. This feature can be used to restrict station access during special or emergency situations. F3 - Removes the MCS module from the priority decode mode so that all users have access to the station. F4 - Deletes the current MCS table. This key only works on the MCS table field. The MCS table cannot be deleted if it is slaved to a mode or if it is the only MCS table. F5 - Prints the current page. (cont.) .P FUNCTION KEY DEFINITIONS(cont.) F6 - Adds a user to the end of the user list. There is a maximum of 61 users. F7 - Delete the user that the cursor is on. This will move the remaining users up. F8 - Resets the Elapsed Time and Number of Accesses of the user that the cursor is on. F9 - Resets the Elapsed Time and Number Of Accesses for all of the users in the MCS table. F10- Exits the MCS table. (cont.) .P ELAPSED TIME This field indicates the amount of time a user has accumulated for billing purposes. This field may be reset to zero by either F8 or F9 function keys. NUMBER OF ACCESSES This field indicates how many times a user has accessed this station. This field may be reset to zero by either F8 or F9 function keys. The maximum NUMBER OF ACCESSES is 65535. After the maximum has been reached, subsequent accesses do not increment the NUMBER OF ACCESSES field. .P PL/DPL CODES The PL/DPL information can be entered by using code or frequency representation. After entering the PL/DPL data, its associated representation is displayed beside it. When an invalid code is entered, the user is prompted and forced to make corrections. If the RX PL/DPL displays MCS, this indicates that the RX PL/DPL is slaved to an MCS table (MCS Table Number field contains an MCS Table Number) and the RX PL/DPL field is non-editable. .P PL/DPL CODES (cont.)

One or two connect tones may be decoded simultaneously by the station. Connect Tone 1 is also encoded to the Central Controller during coded transmissions from the mobile to allow the Central to detect a connect tone. Connect Tone 2 will not be encoded to the Central under any circumstances. The valid Connect Tone list is show below. Connect Tones: CT#0 = 105.9 Hz CT#1 = 76.6 Hz CT#2 = 83.7 Hz CT#3 = 90.0 Hz CT#4 = 97.3 Hz CT#5 = 116.1 Hz CT#6 = 128.6 Hz CT#7 = 138.5 Hz CSQ = 0 Hz .P PTT PRIORITY Five editable types of Push-To-Talk's (PTT's) can be prioritized in the PTT PRIORITY field: Wireline(W), Local(L), Repeater(R), MRTI(M), and Data(D). The PTT's are entered, by the user, in priority order. Whenever two or more PTT's are active at the same time, only the PTT with the highest priority will be recognized by the station. Only the letters W, L, R, M, and D, may be entered. The defualt configuration is DWRLM (DATA>WIRELINE>REPEATER>LOCAL>MRTI). If a PTT is left out of the PTT PRIORITY field the station will NEVER key as a result of that PTT type going active. For example, if DWR is entered, the station will not key as a result of a Local or MRTI PTT. In this example, Data PTT has higher priority than Wireline PTT, and Wireline PTT has higher priority than Repeater PTT. .P TIME-OUT-TIMERS There are five types of TIME-OUT-TIMERS: LINE, LOCAL, REPEATER, DATA AND MRTI. Each dictates the amount of time the station may be keyed up by that particular method(Line PTT, Local PTT, Repeater PTT, Data PTT or MRTI PTT) before the station dekeys. The time-out-timer prevents a particular user from dominating the station's transmitter. The time-out-time is entered in seconds. The time-out-time must be an integer between 0 and 495. If any other time-out-time is entered, the user will be forced to change it. .P RECEIVER CONTROL This parameter dictates the audio qualifiers needed to unsquelch the receiver. The three kinds of audio qualifiers are S(audio squelch), C(PL detect) and A(auxillary detect). The user toggles to any combination of the three audio qualifiers. After toggling to an audio qualifier, its description will appear next to it. For example if CA is entered, then PL Detect, AUX. Detect will be shown next to it. This means that a PL Detect and an AUX. Detect are required before the receiver unsquelches. ON and OFF are also valid choices. If ON, the receiver will always unsquelch; if OFF the receiver will never unsquelch. .P REPEATER CONTROL There are two parameters in this category REPEATER ACTIVATE and REPEATER HOLDIN. These dictate the audio qualifiers needed to activate and hold repeater PTT. There are three kinds of audio qualifiers that may be used S(audio squelch), C(PL detect) and A(auxillary detect). After toggling to an audio qualifier, its description will appear next to it. For example,if CA is entered, then PL Detect, AUX. Detect will be shown next to it. ON and OFF are also valid choices. ON needs no further qualifiers to activate or hold repeater PTT. OFF disallows any qualifiers. .P RPTR DROP-OUT DELAY This parameter dictates the amount of time the repeater stays keyed after the loss of the repeat audio signal. The drop-out delay is entered in seconds. The delay must be an integer between 0 and 495. All other entries will result in an error and force the user to make corrections. .P ALARM TONES ROUTING Alarm tones are generated when any of the Reverse Wildcard (RWC) Bits are active on the MUXBus. Alarms may be routed in two ways: OVER-THE-AIR and OVER-THE-WIRELINE. Each method may be ENABLED/DISABLED independently by using the Up/Down arrow keys. The defaults for both OVER-THE-AIR and OVER-THE-WIRELINE are ENABLED. The alarms are recognized by a number of consecutive beeps. For example, 6 beeps followed by a brief pause, followed by 5 more beeps signals that RWC6 (Reflected Power) and RWC5 (TSTAT Failure) are both active. ALARMS RWC1 Battery Backup RWC5 TSTAT Failure RWC2 PA Alarm RWC6 High Reflected Power RWC3 Synthesizer Out of Lock RWC7 Low Forward Power RWC4 Battery Overvoltage RWC8 --not defined-- .P TX AUDIO/EXTERNAL DATA MIXING This parameter determines whether a particular kind of transmit audio will be mixed with data audio. Five kinds of transmit audio may be mixed with data LINE, LOCAL, REPEAT, MRTI and ID ALARM. Each audio can be set to mix with data YES/NO independently by using the Up/Down arrow keys. .P PRE-EMPHASIS DE-EMPHASIS When ENABLED, clear receive audio is de-emphasized and clear transmit audio is pre-emphasized. This is the default configuration for most clear voice applications. When DISABLED, clear receive and transmit audio signals are not emphasized. This allows the station to have a flat repeater frequency response. Note: It is not possible to selectively disable either pre-emphasis or de-emphasis only. They are simultaneously enabled or disabled. .P PA Cutback Allowed When ENABLED, the station's RF power output will be decreased by 3 dB when operating on battery backup. When DISABLED, full power will be supplied from the station during battery operation. The default for this field is ENABLED. .P Mode Power Level When ENABLED, the power supply, whether from a battery or a.c. source, will supply 3 dB less than full power when the station is operating in the mode this field is enabled in. When DISABLED, full power will be supplied from the power source. The Default for this field is DISABLED. .P Rpt TOT DOD Rset When ENABLED, the stations time-out-timer resets after a drop-out-delay has been cleared. This allows for a longer user time with key-rekey operation. If DISABLED, the station's time-out-timer does not reset after a drop-out-delay has been cleared. This allows for a shorter station user time limited by the time-out-timer period. The default for this field is ENABLED. .P Tx Code Line Qualifier When ENABLED, the station does not key on code detect and requires a guard tone/function tone sequence to key the station during coded and clear transmission. When DISABLED, the station will key on code detect. The default for this field is DISABLED. .P MRTI PP Mode This field sets the tx audio type to a MRTI phone patch. There are four possible settings: -CLEAR (always transmits out clear audio) -CODED (always transmits out coded audio) -RX SLAVED (transmits out the type of audio that was received) -LATCHED (Once coded information is received code is always sent for the duration of the phone call) The default for this field is RX SLAVED. .P MCS TABLE NUMBER This field indicates which MCS table this mode uses. If the table number is set to OFF, then this mode is not slaved to any MCS table but MCS tables do exist. If the field shows 'NO MCS' then MCS is not enabled for this station. MCS may be enabled via STATION MODEL OPTIONS SCREEN. The valid range for this field is 1 - 9. .P EDIT MODE INFORMATION The MODE INFORMATION can be edited via the EDIT MODE INFORMATION screen. MODE INFORMATION can also be edited in the EDIT CHANNEL INFORMATION screen, if the mode is slaved to any channel. The Tab/ ShiftTab keys are used to move the cursor between data fields. The PgUp/PgDn keys are used to move the cursor between pages. EDIT MODE NUMBER To VIEW/EDIT a specific mode, use the Up/Down Arrow keys to select the mode. As the mode number is changed, the screen information is changed to reflect the newly selected mode. .P DELETING MODES To delete a specific mode, select the desired mode in the EDIT MODE NUMBER field, then press the F7 key. The mode will be deleted if the following criteria are met: 1) The selected mode is not MODE 00. 2) The selected mode is not MODE 01 in a 1 mode codeplug. The codeplug must always contain MODES 00 and 01. 3) The selected mode is not slaved to any channels. Once the mode is deleted, all higher-numbered modes will have their mode numbers decremented by 1. Example: Suppose you have a 4-mode station (station contains modes 0,1,2,3,4) and want to delete mode 2. If mode 2 is not slaved to any channels, select mode 2 in the EDIT MODE NUMBER field, then press F7. .P Mode 2 will be deleted, and the old mode 3 will become the new mode 2, and the old mode 4 will become the new mode 3. Any channels slaved to old modes 3 or 4, will now be slaved to modes 2 or 3, respectively. INSERTING MODES A new mode is created by pressing the F8 key. The positioning of the new mode is determined by the mode selected in the EDIT MODE NUMBER field. The new mode is always an exact duplicate of the currently selected mode, and is placed directly after the currently selected mode. All higher-numbered modes will have their mode numbers increased by 1, and any slaved channels will be correctly adjusted. Example: Suppose you have a 4-mode station (station contains modes 0,1,2,3,4) and you want to create a new mode #4. Select mode 3 in the .P EDIT MODE NUMBER field, then press F8. A duplicate of mode 3 will be created after mode 3, and the old mode 4 will become mode 5. If Channel 4 was slaved to the old mode 4, it will now be slaved to mode 5. BEFORE: 0 1 2 3 4 EDIT MODE NUMBER: 03 | | | |\ \ AFTER: 0 1 2 3 4 5 **NOTE: ANY TWO OR MORE MODES THAT MATCH EXACTLY WILL BE CONSOLIDATED INTO A SINGLE MODE, WHEN LEAVING THE MODE SCREEN. THIS IS DONE TO CONSERVE CODEPLUG SPACE. .P ID OVER-THE-WIRELINE When ENABLED, the ID OVER-THE-WIRELINE allows the Auto ID Callsign to be sent down the wireline. If a CALLSIGN is entered for the particular channel then it will always be sent over the air. The ID OVER-THE- WIRELINE field is ENABLED/DISABLED by using the Up/Down arrow keys. The Default is set to DISABLED. .P REMOTE CALLUP The Remote Callup Screen contains up to 100 users that may be dialed and connected to the RSS. A maximum of 10 users are displayed on each page. Each user entry consists of the following fields: Number, Name, Baud Rate, Parity, Data, Stop Bits and Tone/Pulse. This screen also contains a status line which indicates parameters of the current call-in-progress. The and keys are used to move the cursor through the fields of each user. The key is used to advance the cursor to the next user. The and keys are used to move the cursor between pages. Users may be added or deleted via the function keys. Remember to press F8 to save the file after adding or deleting users. The above mentioned fields are described further in the following pages. .P Pressing the F9-Auto Answer key gives the user the ability to configure a modem for operation at a remote station. It also gives the ability to re-configure the modem for normal operation. Once the F9 key is pressed, the user presses F2 to set the modem for auto-answer (Auto-answer after 1 ring, turn off echo mode, save to non-volatile modem memory), or F5, To return the modem to it's normal operating mode (Disable auto-answer, re-enable echo mode, and save the configuration to non-volatile modem memory). NOTE: If you have a non-Hayes Compatible modem or a modem with configuration switches, this procedure will need to be performed manually by toggling the correct switches (See your modem owner's for the correct procedure). IT IS EXTREMELY IMPORTANT THAT THE MODEM CONNECTED TO THE STATION HAS ECHO MODE DISABLED!! .P Function Key Definitions: F1 - Provide HELP associated with the Remote Callup screen. F2 - Dial the number of the user that the cursor is located on. F3 - Hang up the line connection if the system is currently `On-Line'. F4 - Indicates the amount of `On-Line' usage time of current call- in-progress. If there is no call-in-progress then the last completed call usage time is displayed. F5 - Print the current page. F6 - Add a user to the end of the user list. There is a maximum of 100 users. F7 - Delete the user that is currently being highlighted. F8 - Save the current Remote Callup user list to the `Phone.cfg' file. F9 - Setup MODEM for Auto-Answer (Remote) or Normal (Local) operation. F10 -Exit the Remote Callup Screen. ALT-F5 -Terminal Mode: Allows user to type commands to the modem. .P REMOTE CALLUP (cont.) Status Line: The Status Line is a display only line to indicate information about the current communication session. The Status Line indicates current dialing status (Off-Line, Busy, Dialing, No-Carrier or On-Line), communication port parameters (Serial Port, Baud Rate, Parity, Data Bits and Stop Bits), start of call, current time and pass number (current attempt to establish connection). The Serial Port may be changed via the Computer Configuration Menu which is F9 from the Main Menu. The other port parameters may be changed on a per user basis from this screen. .P REMOTE CALLUP (cont.) Number: The Number field is the telephone number that is to be dialed. A 1-30 character field must be entered. The digit/characters 0-9 # * A B C D - , ! are used to specify the number to dial. The characters A B C D # * represent specific tone pairs and therefore can be used only when tone dialing is selected. These symbols are ignored when pulse dial- ing is used. The hookflash dial modifier `!' issues a flash (hook- flash) signal, which causes the modem to hang up for 1/2 second, then reconnect. This feature can be used to access such PBX features as call transfer. The `,' modifier in the Number field causes the modem to pause for 2 seconds before processing the next character symbol in the Number field. The comma is frequently inserted after the `9' .P REMOTE CALLUP (cont.) Number: (cont.) (digit generally used to gain outside access from a PBX) to allow sufficient time for the dial tone to occur before the modem dials the telephone number. Multiple commas can be used to produce longer pauses. a dash `-' can be used to separate sections of the number, however it is ignored when the number is dialed. The following is an example of a valid number: 9,255-2368 !,#71234 This number instructs the modem to use 9 to access a number outside a PBX, pause before dialing, dial the number 555-2368, enter a hook- flash, pause and issue the PBX transfer code #7 before dialing exten- sion number 1234. .P REMOTE CALLUP Name: The Name field is a descriptor for the number that is to be dialed. This field may be left BLANK or up to 10 characters may be entered. If an embedded blank is encountered, it will be replaced with an underscore character. .P REMOTE CALLUP Baud Rate: The Baud Rate field is based on the rate of transmission between the modem and the local computer and the rate from the modem across the telephone link to the remote system. Baud Rate is expressed in bits-per-second (bps). The four choices 1200, 2400, 4800 and 9600 are selected by use of the Up/Dn arrow keys. The default is 1200 bps. .P REMOTE CALLUP Parity: The Parity field indicates the type of Parity to be used in sending data. The three choices NONE, EVEN and ODD are selected by use of the Up/Dn arrow keys. The default is NONE. .P REMOTE CALLUP Data Bits: The Data Bits field indicates the number of Data Bits to be sent with each character. The two choices 7 and 8 are selected by use of the Up/Dn arrow keys. The default is 8. .P REMOTE CALLUP Stop Bits: The Stop Bits field indicates the number of Stop Bits to be sent with each character. The two choices 1 and 2 are selected by use of the Up/Dn arrow keys. The default is 1. .P REMOTE CALLUP Tone / Pulse: The Tone / Pulse field indicates whether TONE or PULSE dialing should be used. This field is dependent upon the type of phone line being used. The two choices TONE and PULSE are selected by use of the Up/ Dn arrow keys. The default is TONE. .P REMOTE CALLUP Network Controller: The Network Controller allows the RSS to connect to different types of network access systems. The five choices are BLACKBOX, HEATHKIT, BAYTECH, GENERIC and NONE. If NONE is entered then no network may accessed. GENERIC is any network controller that is not in the list. .P REMOTE CALLUP Function Key Definitions: F1 - Provide HELP associated with the Remote Callup screen. F3 - Sends the entered network password or command to the controller specified in the Network Controller field. F5 - Print the current page. F8 - Save the current Network Controller settings to the 'MSF.CFG' file. F10 - Exit the Network Controller Screen. .P REMOTE CALLUP Password / Command: This field is for the RSS user to enter in a network access password or command to send to the specified Network Controller. To send the Password / Command to the Network Controller it is necessary to press the key. The Network Controllers' response to the Password / Command will then be displayed. .P TERMINAL MODE This screen is used to converse directly with the modem. All characters are transmitted to the modem as they are typed. Printable characters are printed to the screen as they are received from the modem. BREAK KEY The F8 Key is used to send a break signal to the modem. When the F8 key is pressed the modem holds the Transmit Data (TD) signal active (SPACE) for the user-defined BREAK Duration. This command is used for various purposes, depending on the equipment being addressed. For example: some network controllers use the sequence BREAK QQQ in order to signal to the controller that you are ready to switch to a different station (or port on the controller). The BREAK Duration can be changed in the SERIAL PORT CONFIGURATION SCREEN. .P ECHO MODE The F8 Key is used to toggle the terminal echo mode. Normally, the ECHO MODE is disabled so that the keys pressed only appear on the screen after they are repeated by the modem. If the modem you are using has the echo mode turned off, you will be unable to see your keystrokes with the ECHO MODE disabled. In this case press F8, and your keystrokes will be echoed to the screen as they are typed. IPCB/MODEM MODE The terminal mode screen is capable of sending characters in two formats : IPCB or MODEM. .P The IPCB Mode is used to converse with the MSF station. In this mode all characters are not transmitted until the ENTER key is pressed. The MSF requires IPCB commands to be tightly packed together in order to be recognized. In the MODEM Mode all characters are transmitted as they are typed. .P PRINT CODEPLUG DATA The PRINT function is used to produce permanent records of the station configuration. A printer is required and should be connected to your computer per your computer user's manual. Graphics capability is NOT required. The printer must be hooked to the parallel port output of your computer. Before printing make sure the computer paper is aligned properly. When you are ready for printing Press the F9 function key. .P SAM (Station Access Module) Menu F1- This key in any menu will bring up a help screen for the current screen or for the current editable field on a working screen. F3- This key will display one SAM Mode or Local SAM Mode. F4- This key will display one SAM Action Table. F5- This key will display the SAM Action Table Conditions. F6- This key will display the SAM Encoder Sequences. F7- This key will display SAM Wildcard Inputs. F8- This key will display the SAM Encoder/Decoder Schemes. F9- This key will display SAM Wildcard Outputs. F10-This key will return the program to the View / Edit Menu. The following is an example on how to configure SAM for Automatic Repeater Access. .P Repeater operation of the station is disabled by default - the Repeater Knockdown bit on the MUXbus is active. In order to allow repeater operation, i.e. access the repeater, subscriber radios and/or dispatch equipment automatically send a signalling sequence at the beginning of every transmission. The signalling sequence can be an MDC1200 sequence, a Select V sequence, or a DTMF sequence. The following is an example of how the SAM board would be programmed to do Automatic Repeater Access in Mode 1 using a ZVEI Select V sequence received via the station receiver. SAM Mode Tables Programming (F3 from SAM MENU): SAM MODE NUMBER 1 REPEATER KNOCKDOWN ENABLED TONE DECODER ZVEI TONE INPUT RECEIVER 1 .P SAM Mode Tables Programming (Cont.): TONE DECODER TARGET 1 TARGET 12345 ACT TBL 1 SAM Action Tables Programming (F4 from SAM MENU): ACTION TABLE NUMBER 1 ACTION #1 CLRMUXQUAL MUXADDR 5 MUXDATA 2 QUALADDR 1 QUALMASK 8 TIME 10 .P This action will deactivate RPT_KD (MUXbus Address 5, Data 2) as long as RPT_PTT (MUXbus Address 1, Data 8) is active, plus 10ms (TIME field). OPERATION SEQUENCE: 1. The station is in Mode 1 and RPT_KD is active. The mobile keys up, automatically sending ZVEI sequence 12345. 2. The SAM board decodes ZVEI sequence 12345, compares it to its Mode 1 tone decoder target(s) and finds a match with Tone Decoder Target 1. 3. Since Action Table 1 is "tied to" Target 1, the SAM board executes Action Table 1. Action Table 1, as shown programmed above, will make RPT_KD go inactive, allowing repeater operation, as long as RPT_PTT is present. NOTE: RPT_PTT will be active as long as the station has the conditions required for Repeater Unsquelch. .P 4. The mobile dekeys removing the conditions needed for Repeater Unsquelch, thereby causing RPT_PTT to go inactive. The SAM board sees RPT_PTT go inactive and activates RPT_KD 10ms later, disabling repeater operation. (See Appendix F in the FIELD PROGRAMMER MANUAL for more examples of SAM usage.) .P SAM Mode Number This field allows SAM Mode & Local SAM Mode numbers to be entered. A SAM Mode can only be created when a new Station Mode is added. The SAM Mode created will be the same number as the Station Mode that was created. Any references to Local SAM Modes or SAM Modes in the SAM Action Tables will be updated if a SAM Mode or Local SAM Mode is created/deleted. If two or more Station Modes are found to be identical then the user will be asked if the duplicate Station Mode should be deleted. This will cause deletion of the corresponding SAM Mode. If the SAM Mode to be deleted is referenced in a SAM Action Table then the Station & SAM Mode deletion is cancelled. .P If a SAM Mode number is entered that is greater than the number of Station Modes then that SAM Mode is considered to be a Local SAM Mode. The only Modes that may be created or deleted from this screen are Local SAM Modes. This is done by use of the F6 & F7 function keys. A Local SAM Mode can only be deleted from this field and only if a new SAM Mode number has not been entered. The F8 function key is used to edit the SAM Action Table. This key is only valid on an Action Table field. .P Repeater Knockdown: This toggle field indicates what the initial status of the Repeater Knockdown bit (RPT KD) on the MUXbus will be set to upon switching to a SAM Mode or a Local SAM Mode. This field is changed by use of the Up/Down arrow keys. If ENABLED, the Repeater Knockdown bit is initially set and no repeater operation is allowed. If DISABLED, the Repeater Knockdown bit is cleared and repeater operation is allowed. .P Tone Decoder Indicates which Tone Decoder scheme is used in this Mode. This field allows the Tone Decoder to be toggled between the following values: ZVEI - ZVEI standard tone decoding scheme ZVEIFR - ZVEI french tone decoding scheme ZVEIMOD - ZVEI modified tone decoding scheme CCIR - CCIR standard tone decoding scheme CCIRMOD - CCIR modified tone decoding scheme EEA - EEA tone decoding scheme CUSTOM - Customized tone decoding scheme (cont.) .P See the SAM Encode/Decode screen for setting the parameters of each decoding scheme. If DISABLED is selected then all of the Targets associated with the Tone Decoder will be cleared along with the Receiver. If a valid Tone Decoder scheme is entered then when the SAM's Tone Decoder has decoded a message, it will compare this message against a list of words which are called 'Targets'. If a match is found, the SAM board will execute a sequence of actions specified by the matching Targets corresponding SAM Action Table number. .P Tone Input This field specifies which input the SAM Tone Decoder will monitor. The choices are RECEIVER 1, RECEIVER 2, or LINE. A fourth choice, DIVERSITY, is given if the SAM board is version 2.xx or greater. These may be selected by use of the UP/DOWN arrow keys. .P Tone Decoder Targets TARGET: This field defines the sequence of tones that must be matched to execute the action table. Each tone in the sequence is specified as a hex number (0 - E) which corresponds to a particular frequency for the current tone decoder signalling scheme. This correspondence is defined in the SAM Encode/Decode screen. Each Target is allowed a maximum of seven tones. Wildcards are allowed and are indicated by an 'X'. The SAM Tone Decoder will interpret an 'X' as a match for any tone number. For example, the sequences '12345' and '12045' will both match the Target '12X45'. Note: The order of the Targets in the list is important to the SAM'S tone decoder and will be adjusted automatically by the field programmer. i.e. Longer Targets must be listed before shorter Targets. .P ACT TBL (Action Table) The Action Table field describes which SAM Action Table will be executed when the Decoder Target matches the tones sent on the wireline. A current Action Table number or an Action Table number that is one greater than the current number of existing Action Tables may be entered (valid entries for this field are displayed in the message window). If an Action Table number is entered that does not exist then the user will get a prompt to create an empty Action Table or a duplicate Action Table. After the Action Table number is entered the user will be taken to the Action Table screen to edit the Action Table. .P GROUP The group scheme defines what group scheme has to be used with the Target. The SAM board supports two group calling methods. Selection of the group calling method is done via the UP/DOWN arrow keys. The field may be toggled between the following values: N = NONE, S = STANDARD, E = EXPANDED. If 'S' is selected then the Group Target requires the following standard rule: Once the 'Group Tone' (defined in the SAM Encode/Decode tables for each valid scheme) is detected, all following tones in the Target must also be Group Tones for a Group Target match to occur. The start of a Group Tone sequence can be detected in any position defined by the Group Target (see help for GR TAR field). If 'E' is selected (expanded group call), then the Group Target requires that Group Tones are allowed only in marked positions and the rest of the tones must match the Target. If 'N' is selected then no group calling method will be used. .P GR TAR (Group Target) This field specifies the Group Target. The letter 'G' indicates where a Group Tone is to be present in the Target. A '-' indicates that no Group Tone is to be present at the corresponding location in the Target. If Group is set to 'N' then no Group Tones are allowed to be entered. If Group is set to 'S' then the first Group Tone encountered in the Group Target MUST be followed by Group Tones. If Group is set to 'E' then Group Tones may occur anywhere in the Group Target. The length of the Group Target must match the length of the Target. .P GR ACT TBL (Group Action Table) The Group Action Table field describes which SAM Action Table will be executed when the Group Target matches the message sent on the wireline. If the Action Table field is set to BLANK then no Action Table will be executed. A current Action Table number or an Action Table number that is one greater than the current number of existing Action Tables may be entered (valid entries for this field are displayed in the message window). If an Action Table number is entered that does not exist then the user will get a prompt to create an empty Action Table or a duplicate Action Table. After the Action Table number is entered the user will be taken to the Action Table screen to edit the Action Table. If the Group Scheme is set to 'N' then this field should be set to '--'. .P Binary Encoder This field allows the Binary Encoder to be toggled between ENABLED or DISABLED by use of the Up/Down arrow keys. If ENABLED is selected then the assigned encoder can be used by the SAM otherwise the encoder will be deactivated. .P Binary Decoder This field allows the Binary Decoder to be toggled between DISABLED and MDC1200 by use of the Up/Down arrow keys. If the field is toggled to DISABLED then all of the Targets and the Binary Input field are cleared and are no longer editable. If the field is toggled to MDC1200 then the MDC1200 binary signalling scheme will be used for decoding in the current mode. When the SAM's binary signalling decoder has decoded a message, it will compare this message against a list of binary signalling words which are called 'Targets'. If a match is found, the SAM board will execute a sequence of actions specified by the matching Targets corresponding SAM Action Table number. .P Binary Input This field specifies which input the SAM Binary Decoder will monitor. The choices are RECEIVER 1, RECEIVER 2, or LINE. If the SAM board is version 2.xx or greater a fourth choice, DIVERSITY, is given. These may be selected by use of the UP/DOWN arrow keys. .P SAM (Station Access Module) Wildcard Inputs The SAM Wildcard Inputs screen defines 16 Wildcard Inputs and 2 Front Panel Inputs (Function A and Function B). Each Wildcard Input and Front Panel Input contain the following fields: Active, Input Type, Input Response, Active Action Table and Inactive Action Table. I/O Configuration This is a non-editable field that indicates how the Wildcard Inputs and Front Panel Inputs of the Station Access Module are configured. There are four possible choices: EXP_DATA, DATA, DIAGNOSTIC or WILDCARD. This field is changed whenever function keys F2, F3, F4 or F6 are invoked to change to a new setup. The status of this field determines which fields of the Wildcard Inputs and Front Panel Inputs are available for editing. .P Input Type The Input Type field describes how the Wildcard Input or Front Panel Input has been configured. This field is edited by use of the Up/ Down arrow keys. The two Front Panel Inputs may be toggled between the following choices: SWITCH or BLANK. SWITCH indicates that the Front Panel Input is connected to an input. Valid Wildcard Inputs are as follows: If the I/O Configuration field is EXP_DATA then the Input Type field is non-editable. If the I/O Configuration field is DATA and the Input Type field is set to DATA then the Input Type field is non-editable, if the Input Type field is not set to DATA then the Input Type field may be toggled between WILDCARD and BLANK. If the I/O Configuration field is DIAGNOSTIC or WILDCARD then the Input Type field may be toggled between the following values: EXP_DATA (only on Wildcard Inputs 0, 1, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 13), DATA (only on Wildcard Inputs 0, 1, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11, 12, 13), DIAGNOSTIC .P (only on Wildcard Inputs 1, 11, 12, 13), WILDCARD or BLANK. If the Input Type field is set to BLANK then the following fields are non- editable: Active, Input Response, Active Action Table and Inactive Action Table. If the Input Type field is set to BLANK then that input is never monitored by the SAM board. Definition of function keys: Note: Pressing F2, F3, F4, F6 to change setups will also change the SAM Wildcard Outputs screen to the same setup. This will delete all Action Tables referenced in the SAM Wildcard Input screen provided the Action Table is not referenced in any of the SAM Mode Tables. All references to Action Tables in the SAM Mode Tables will be updated to account for any Action Tables that are deleted. .P F1 - Provide Help F2 - Set the I/O Configuration to WILDCARD. The Input Type field is set to BLANK for all of the Wildcard Inputs and the Front Panel Input. F3 - Set the I/O Configuration to DATA.

When in the Action Table it is possible to switch to the alternate state by pressing the F8 function key. F10 Exit the SAM Wildcard Input screen and return to the SAM menu. .P ACTIVE The Active field determines if the Wildcard Input or Front Panel Input is active high or active low. This field is non-editable if the Input Type field = EXP_DATA, Input Type = DATA or if on a Front Panel Input line. This field may be toggled between the following values: HIGH and LOW. If the Wildcard Input or Front Panel Input makes a transition to its Active state then the Input Response and Active Action Table fields will be executed if they are defined (not BLANK). If the Wildcard Input or Front Panel Input makes a transition to its Inactive state then the Input Response will be cancelled and the Inactive Action Table will be executed if it is not BLANK. .P Input Response The Input Response field describes a specific event that is to be executed when the Wildcard Input or Front Panel Input makes a transition to the Active State. If the Input Type field is set to EXP_DATA, DATA or DIAGNOSTIC then this field is set to a unique Input Response which is dependent on the Wildcard Input and is non-editable. If the Input Type field is set to WILDCARD then this field may be set to any valid Input Response. If the Input Response field is set to BLANK then this field is non-editable. The following is a list of Input Responses that may be toggled through if the Input Type field is set to WILDCARD: .P Input Response Description --------------------------- TX PL INH Send current transmission without PL. RFLOOP EN1 Indicate to the MSF that the GCC / BSC needs to perform an RF Loopback test of the base station transmitter and receiver combination. RFLOOP EN2 Sets up the base station in loopback mode. SEIZE/REL Indicate to the MSF that the GCC / BSC has taken control of base station upon command from the trunking central controller. DATA PTT Indicate to the MSF base station that the GCC/ BSC desires to key up the base station transmitter. RX MUTE Mute receive audio to the console. Used by GCC / BSC in data / voice applications only. .P Input Response Description (cont.) --------------------------- MAJORFAULT Indicates a major fault exists in the BSC. The MSF will ignore all other request from the BSC. ALARM RES Used to test each alarm output for proper operation. STN RESET Force the MSF base station into a full reset. BLANK No input response is executed. .P Active Action Table The Active Action Table field describes which Action Table will be executed whenever a Wildcard Input or Front Panel Input makes a transition to its Active state. If the Action Table field is set to BLANK then no Action Table will be executed. If the Input Type field is set to BLANK then this field is non-editable. A current Action Table number or an Action Table number that is one greater than the current number of existing Action Tables may be entered (valid entries for this field are displayed in the message window). If an Action Table number is entered that does not exist and the Inactive Action Table is set to BLANK then the user will get a prompt to create an empty Action Table or a duplicate Action Table. After the Action Table number is entered the user will be taken to the Action Table screen to edit the Action Table. If an Action Table .P number is entered that does not exist and the Inactive Action Table is not set to BLANK then the user will get a prompt to create an empty Action Table or duplicate an existing Action Table. After the Action Table number is entered the user will be taken to the Action Table screen to edit the Action Table. When in the action table screen, it is possible to toggle between the alternate states' Action Table (if it exists) by pressing the F8 function key. Note: If an Active Action Table is entered it is recommended that an Inactive Action Table also be entered to cancel the actions executed by the Active Action Table. .P Inactive Action Table The Inactive Action Table field describes which Action Table will be executed whenever a Wildcard Input or Front Panel Input makes a transition to its Inactive state. If the Action Table field is set to BLANK then no Action Table will be executed. If the Input Type field is set to BLANK then this field is non-editable. A current Action Table number or an Action Table number that is one greater than the current number of existing Action Tables may be entered (valid entries for this field are displayed in the message window). If an Action Table number is entered that does not exist and the Active Action Table is set to BLANK then the user will get a prompt to create an empty Action Table or a duplicate Action Table. After the Action Table number is entered the user will be taken to the Action Table screen to edit the Action Table. If an Action Table .P number is entered that does not exist and the Active Action Table is not set to BLANK then the user will get a prompt to create an empty Action Table, or duplicate an existing Action Table. After the Action Table number is entered the user will be taken to the Action Table screen to edit the Action Table. When in the action table it is possible to toggle between the alternate states' Action Table (if it exists) by pressing the F8 function key. Note: If an Inactive Action Table is entered it is recommended that an Active Action Table also be entered to cancel the actions executed by the Inactive Action Table. .P SAM (Station Access Module) Wildcard Outputs The SAM Wildcard Outputs screen defines 24 Wildcard Outputs (0 - 23). For each Wildcard Output there are 3 fields that describe it. They are OUTPUT TYPE, ACTIVE and OUTPUT ENABLE CONDITIONS. I/O CONFIGURATION This is a non-editable field that indicates how the Wildcard Outputs of the Station Access Module are configured. There are four possible values: EXP_DATA, DATA, DIAGNOSTIC or WILDCARD. This field is changed whenever function keys F2, F3, F4 or F6 are pressed to change to a new setup. The status of this field determines how the 24 Wildcard Outputs are configured and which fields are available for editing. .P OUTPUT TYPE The Output Type field describes how the Wildcard Output has been configured. This field is edited by use of the Up/Down arrow keys. If I/O Configuration is EXP_DATA, this field is not editable. Also, if I/O Configuration is DATA, this field is not editable for Outputs 15, 17, 18, 19 and 20. Otherwise, the following describes what values this field may be set to. Wildcard Output Output Type (allowed Values) --------------- ---------------------------------------- 0 - 15, 17, 19 WILDCARD, DATA, EXP_DATA*, DIAGNOSTIC, blank 16, 21, 22, 23 WILDCARD, DATA, DIAGNOSTIC, blank 18 WILDCARD, DIAGNOSTIC, blank 20 WILDCARD, DATA, EXP_DATA, blank * Changing one of outputs 0-14 to EXP_DATA changes all of 0-14 to EXP_DATA .P Only if the Output Type field is set to WILDCARD are the Active and Output Enable Conditions fields made accessable and editable. Otherwise, the user cannot change them. If the Output Type field is made blank then the SAM board doesn't switch that output. Definition of function keys: Note: Pressing F2, F3, F4, F6 to change setup will also change the SAM Wildcard Inputs to the same setup. This will delete all Action Tables referenced in the SAM Wildcard Input screen provided the Action Table is not referenced in any of the SAM Mode Tables.

This field must be HIGH if Output Enable Conditions is set to DC PWR ALM (DC POWER ALARM). It must be LOW if Output Enable Conditions is set to ALM INT F (ALARM INTERFACE FAULT). .P OUTPUT ENABLE CONDITIONS The Output Enable Conditions field specifies an alarm, control or MUXbus condition (up to 3 allowed). When the condition(s) is met, the SAM board causes the Wildcard Output to switch to its Active state. This field is only editable if the Output Type field is set to WILDCARD. MUXbus conditions have the following format: Mux Address, Compare Criteria Where: Mux Address : a decimal number between 0 and 15 Compare Criteria : four characters, where each character can be 0, 1 or X (ie. don't care). Example: 14,XX10 This means the output goes active when MUXbus address 14, b0 = 0 and b1 = 1. .P If more than one MUXbus condition is present for this output, an additional field containing AND or OR is required, which describes the combining logic for these conditions. Example: 14,XXX1 2,1XXX OR This means the output goes active when MUXbus address 14, b0 = 1 OR MUXbus address 2, b3 = 1. The following is a list of the alarms and controls along with their abbreviations. Their descriptions may be found in the manual. .P Alarm/Control Abbreviation DC POWER ALARM DC PWR ALM RX1 SYNTHESIZER ALARM R1 SYN ALM RECEIVER 1 ALARM RCVR1 ALM AC MAINS FAILURE ALARM AC MN FAIL IPA RF ALARM IPA RF ALM RSSI/DIVERSITY ALARM RSSI/DIV FINAL PA RF ALARM FIN PA RF STATION CONTROL BD ALARM SSCB ALM LOOPBACK CIRCUIT ALARM LOOPB CIRC RECEIVER 2 ALARM RCVR2 ALM REVERSE POWER ALARM RV PWR ALM (cont.) .P RX2 SYNTHESIZER ALARM R2 SYN ALM ALARM INTERFACE FAULT ALM INT F BATTERY OVERVOLTAGE ALARM BATT OVOLT TX SYNTHESIZER ALARM TX SYN ALM LINE PTT SENSE LN PTT SEN PTT DEKEY ALARM PTT DEKEY RX PL DETECT RX PL DET CARRIER DETECT CARR DET REPEATER PTT RPTR PTT REPROGRAM STATION RPGM STN DOOR ALARM DOOR ALM ACCESS DISABLE ACC DIS REDUCED RF POWER ALARM RED RF PWR (cont.) .P DRIVER RF POWER ALARM DR RF PWR SECURE BOARD ALARM SEC BD ALM TTRC BOARD ALARM TTRC ALM ALARM WORD BIT n ALM BIT n (where n = 0..14) Note: If one of outputs 0 - 14 is made an ALARM WORD BIT, then outputs 0 - 14 are all changed to ALM BIT n (where n = 0..14). Conversely, if an output is changed from an ALARM WORD BIT to something else, then all remaining outputs in 0 - 14 range revert to their default values, depending on current I/O CONFIGURATION. .P TRIGGER CONDITIONS The Trigger Conditions fields specify an alarm, control or MUXbus condition (up to 3 allowed). When the condition(s) is met, the SAM board causes the specified Action Table to be executed. If the Trigger Condition field contains UNKNOWN, this signifies that a section of the SAM codeplug has been programmed with an undefined Action Table Condition. For example, if a GCC-480, General Communications Controller, is present in the station, special factory programming was required to ensure proper function. The UNKNOWN Condition may be deleted, but may not be added with the present RSS. .P MUXbus conditions have the following format: Mux Address, Compare Criteria Where: Mux Address : a decimal number between 0 and 15 Compare Criteria : four characters, where each character can be 0, 1 or X (ie. don't care). Example: 14,XX10 This means the Active Action Table gets executed when MUXbus address 14, b0 = 0 and b1 = 1. .P If more than one MUXbus condition is present on this line, an additional field containing AND or OR is required, which describes the combining logic for these conditions. Example: 14,XXX1 2,1XXX OR This means the Active Action Table gets executed when MUXbus address 14, b0 = 1 OR MUXbus address 2, b3 = 1.

If the Action Table field is set to BLANK then no Action Table will be executed. A current Action Table number or an Action Table number that is one greater than the current number of existing Action Tables may be entered (valid entries for this field are displayed in the message window). If an Action Table number is entered that does not exist and the Inactive Action Table is set to BLANK then the user will get a prompt to create an empty Action Table or a duplicate Action Table. After the Action Table number is entered the user will be taken to the Action Table screen to edit the Action Table. If an Action Table number is entered that does not exist and the .P Inactive Action Table is not set to BLANK then the user will get a prompt to create an empty Action Table, copy of the Inactive Action Table or a duplicate Action Table. After the Action Table number is entered the user will be taken to the Action Table screen to edit the Action Table. When in the action table it is possible to toggle between the alternate states Action Table (if it exists) by pressing the F8 function key. Note: If an Active Action Table is entered it is recommended that an Inactive Action Table also be entered to cancel the actions executed by the Active Action Table. .P INACTIVE ACTION TABLE The Inactive Action Table field describes which Action Table will be executed whenever the specified Trigger Conditions go away. If the Action Table field is set to BLANK then no Action Table will be executed. A current Action Table number or an Action Table number that is one greater than the current number of existing Action Tables may be entered (valid entries for this field are displayed in the message window). If an Action Table number is entered that does not exist and the Active Action Table is set to BLANK then the user will get a prompt to create an empty Action Table or a duplicate Action Table. After the Action Table number is entered the user will be taken to the Action Table screen to edit the Action Table. If an Action Table number is entered that does not exist and the Active Action Table is not set to BLANK then the user will get a prompt to create an .P empty Action Table, copy of the Active Action Table or a duplicate Action Table. After the Action Table number is entered the user will be taken to the Action Table screen to edit the Action Table. When in the action table it is possible to toggle between the alternate states Action Table (if it exists) by pressing the F8 function key. Note: If an Active Action Table is entered it is recommended that an Inactive Action Table also be entered to cancel the actions executed by the Active Action Table. .P DTMF Input This field specifies which input the SAM Binary Decoder will monitor. The choices are RECEIVER 1, RECEIVER 2, DIVERSITY, or LINE.

Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select between ENABLED/DISABLED. .P OPCODE The following fields may be entered by use of the Up/Down arrow keys: SETUP, KNOCKDOWN, PTT (Push-To-Talk) OR REPEAT ACC (Repeater Access). These fields are known as Opcodes and are sent as signalling packets. REPEAT ACC - Allows for detection of both Automatic and Manual Repeater Access. In an Automatic Repeater Access system the Repeater Access codeword is sent on voice transmissions and other user initiated data transactions. The Repeater Access codeword is decoded by the repeater, and not transmitted to the ultimate destination of the message. In a Manual Repeater Access system the user is willing to send the Repeater Access codeword separately in exchange for a faster access time for subsequent .P (REPEAT ACC continued) voice messages. This "dialing up" of the repeater is usually accomplished by a separate "Repeater" button on the unit. In both Automatic and Manual Repeater Access systems the repeater address can either be operator selectable or Mode slaved. PTT - If a mobile keys up and sends a Push-To-Talk (PTT) opcode followed by the matching ID then the station will pass the transmission. .P SETUP - Clears the Repeater Knockdown bit (RPT KD) on the MUXbus if the matching repeater ID is also sent. This enables the repeater operation of the station. KNOCKDOWN - Sets the Repeater Knockdown bit (RPT KD) on the MUXbus if the matching repeater ID is also sent. This disables the repeater operation of the station. ACK - Acknowledge Opcode. MSG1..MSG4 - Miscellaneous opcodes with no current definitions. Added to allow for future expansion. (MDC codes 4701 through 4704) .P A Target may be cleared by deleting the entry in the Opcode field or by deleting all of the entries for a Target. If there are any blank Targets between Targets with data then the program will remove the blank Targets. It is not necessary to manually move Targets up. .P ID This field contains the ID of the Repeater that is to be accessed. Every Repeater has its own unique four digit ID. The ID is set by the system designer or the customer. The ID is usually the last four digits of the serial number. The valid range is 0000 - FFFF. .P ACTION TABLE The Action Table field describes which SAM Action Table will be executed when the current Binary Decoder Opcode is decoded. A current Action Table number or an Action Table number that is one greater than the current number of existing Action Tables may be entered (valid entries for this field are displayed in the message window). If an Action Table number is entered that does not exist then the user will get a prompt to create an empty Action Table or a duplicate Action Table. After the Action Table number is entered the user will be taken to the Action Table screen to edit the Action Table. A limit of 30 Action Tables may be programmed with the RSS, with a total of 20 Actions per Action Table. .P ACTION TABLE This field displays the SAM Action Table number of the Table displayed on the screen. If the Action Table Screen was entered through the SAM MENU, the Up/Down Arrows may be used to toggle through all existing SAM Action Tables. This screen may also be entered via the SAM Mode, SAM Action Table Conditions, or SAM Wildcard Inputs Screens. If entered through one of these screens the ACTION TABLE field is NON-EDITABLE. NOTE: SAM Action Tables cannot be added in this screen. Action Tables may be added in the Action Table fields of the SAM Wildcard Input, SAM Mode, of SAM Action Table Conditions Screens, by entering an Action Table number that is 1 larger than the largest existing SAM Action Table. .P The F7-CLEAR TABLE key can only be used on the ACTION TABLE field. This key will delete all of the actions in the current SAM Action Table. Once a SAM Action Table has been created it is not possible to delete the SAM Action Table. The F8-CHANGE STATE key is only valid if the SAM Action Table was entered via the SAM Wildcard Input or SAM Action Table Conditions Screens. It allows a user to toggle between the Active Action Table and Inactive Action Table. A limit of 30 Action Tables may be programmed with the RSS, with a total of 20 Actions per Action Table. .P The following is a list of valid actions that may be entered in the SAM Action Table. A brief explanation of each action follows. For more detailed information, enter the action in the field, then press F1 for help.

Each DTMF tone in the sequence is specified by the characters on a standard telephone keypad, plus the letters `A' through `D'. Each Target is allowed a maximum of ten DTMF tones. Wildcards are allowed and are indicated by an 'X'. The SAM DTMF Decoder will interpret an 'X' as a match for any tone number. For example, the sequences '12345' and '12045' will both match the Target '12X45'. Note: The order of the Targets in the list is important to the SAM'S DTMF Decoder and will be adjusted automatically by the field programmer. i.e. Longer Targets must be listed before shorter Targets. .P DTMF DECODER This field allows the DTMF Decoder to be toggled between DISABLED and ENABLED by use of the Up/Down arrow keys. If the field is toggled to DISABLED then all of the Targets and the DTMF Input field are cleared and are no longer editable. If the field is toggled to ENABLED then the DTMF signalling scheme will be used for decoding in the current mode. When the SAM's DTMF decoder has decoded a message, it will compare this message against a list of DTMF strings, which are called `Targets'. If a match is found, the SAM board will execute a sequence of actions specified by the matching Targets corresponding SAM Action Table number. .P SERVICE AND ALIGNMENT The SERVICE AND ALIGNMENT section allows the user to align the Base Station's EEPOTs or to add a Secure Board or SAM Board to the Station.

F9 - MCS Information screen. This option may be enabled via Station/Model Options screen. F10 - Select EXIT to return to MAIN MENU. .P FLOATING PRIORITY The valid toggle choices are OFF, RX, TX or RX & TX. RX sets the priority channel to the most recently active receive channel. TX sets the priority channel to the most recently active transmit channel. Selecting RX & TX allows the priority channel to be assigned to the most recent transmit or receive channel. If the Floating Priority field does not contain OFF then the Priority Channel field will be set to FLOAT and become non-editable. The Floating Priority field cannot be set to a choice other than OFF unless two or more channels are enabled for scan. The default for Floating Priority is OFF. .P PRIORITY CHANNEL The Priority Channel field indicates which channel has priority. The only valid numbers for this field are those channels on which scan is enabled. The Priority Channel is scanned between all non- priority channels. The Priority Channel is also scanned during periods of non-priority channel activity. If a non-priority channel is active with a coded signal and the XL Decryption Operation is enabled on the Station Model Options Screen, then the priority channel is not scanned until the current channel activity stops. The default for the Priority Channel field is OFF. .P TRC CONSOLE FEEDBACK At this time, TRC Console Feedback is a non-editable field. The default value is DISABLED. .P CHANNEL MARKING The valid toggle choices are OFF, NORM, PRIORITY or N & P. This feature allows the station to ignore scan channels that have activity but not the correct coded squelch qualifier. This speeds up the scan by not waiting the full RX Qualify Time (shown on the Advanced Information Screen) for a coded squelch detect if the channel has already been marked. Selecting NORM will only enable non-priority channel marking. Selecting PRIORITY will only enable priority channel marking. Selecting N & P will enable both. The mark is removed as soon as the channel loses a carrier detect or when another scan channel becomes active and the scan stops. The mark on the priority channel can only be removed by loss of activity on the priority channel. The default for Channel Marking is OFF. .P TX FREQ/RX FREQ This screen shows a composite listing of all channel frequencies. .P AUDIO The valid toggle choices are R1 or R2. This field indicates which RF tray's receiver audio is used for each channel. This field may only be toggled if the Model Options Screen has a valid frequency selection for the R2 tray. The value selected for the Audio field will also appear on the channel screen as a non-editable field. .P SCAN The valid toggle choices are ENABLED or DISABLED. This field indicates whether or not each channel should be included in the scan. There must be at least two channels enabled in order to assure proper scan operation. .P TX SLAVE The valid toggle choices are ENABLED or DISABLED. When the scan stops on a channel with TX Slave enabled, the transmitter channel number is immediately changed to the scan channel. If TX Slave is disabled on any given channel, the station uses the previously active transmit frequency or the previously selected transmit channel frequency from the console. If disabled, the transmit and receive frequencies are no longer slaved to the same station channel. The default for the TX Slave field is DISABLED. .P CHANGE/VIEW COMMAND DATA MENU The Change/View Command Data Menu is the level of the program from which you select the Tone or DC Commands to edit. All selections are made via the "Function Keys", labeled F1 thru F10 on your keyboard. After making a selection, you will be directed to routines that will edit the type of data you selected.

F10 - Exit to CHANGE/VIEW CODEPLUG DATA MENU. .P SCANNING REPEATER At the time of the release of this RSS (January 1993), there were plans to add the ability of the station to repeat while scanning. Currently, this field has no affect on station operation. The current released version of SSCB firmware (R5.45, part number 5191012H75) DOES NOT repeat while scanning. .P Once the Scanning Repeater option is added to the SSCB firmware (no approximate release date at this point), this field will work as follows: The SCANNING REPEATER field can only be ENABLED if the station is configured as a REPEATER (REPEATER OPERATION field in STATION/MODEL OPTIONS Screen is set to ENABLED). If ENABLED, the station will keyup during SCAN when a received signal on one of the scan enabled channels is detected. If DISABLED, the station will scan as normal, but will not key. .P
