INTRODUCTION

The ST-865M3 SmarTrunk II Logic Board is a microprocessor based radio trunking logic board designed for use with Motorola GP68 Radio. The ST-865M3 implements SmarTrunk II, an efficient radio channel allocation protocol. The SmarTrunk II Logic Board controls all radio functions including channel scan, PTT, and all transmit and receive audio. In combination with the ST-852M SmarTrunk II Digital Trunking Controller, the Logic Board provides a complete

multi-channel digital access radio trunking system.

The ST-852M is the heart of the SmarTrunk II system. Programming and operation is performed by the System Operator/Manager. Many of the programmable features of the ST-865M3 require information unique to a specific system. These system specifics can only be obtained from the System Operator/Manager.

In addition to SmarTrunk II trunking operation, the ST-865M3 has a conventional operating mode. This mode allows the radio to operate as a conventional two way radio on the programmed radio channels. Conventional mode can be disabled by the dealer.

The ST-865M3 offers the user the following features:

•Store and send dialing

•10 number memory speed dial (user programmable)

•Last number re-dial

•Different ringing tones to distinguish the type of call

•Clear channel alerting tells subscriber when a channel is available

•Ten levels of priority call override

•Two trunking modes: radiotelephone and fleet dispatch

•Capability of operation on SmarTrunk and conventional non-trunked radio channels

•Automatic acknowledgment eliminates wasted airtime

•Five digit security code for dealer programming

•Remote Radio-Kill to disable illegal and non-paying customers

This manual is presented in four sections:

•Section 1, Operation, describes operational features.

•Section 2, Operating Modes, describes the operating modes available in a SmarTrunk II system.

•Section 3, Installation, provides instructions for programming of radio frequencies and installation of the ST-865M3 logic board.

•Section 4, Logic Board Programming, provides the installing technician instructions to configure the ST-865M3 by programming the resident EEPROM.

Please read the entire manual before proceeding in order to take advantage of all the advanced features.

1 • OPERATION

Subscribers already familiar with the original SmarTrunk system will find the SmarTrunk II digital system just as easy to use. There are also many additional

features and enhancements. The ST-865M3 begins trunking operation as soon as the radio is powered on. Channel selection, transmit control, receiver audio, and other radio functions are all under the control of the ST-865M3. Radio channel access is tightly controlled. Unauthorized transmission and monitoring of trunking channels is not possible by SmarTrunk II equipped radios.

During keypad operation, the ST-865M3 provides audible alerts. These alerts are:

a.Short chirp is generated each time a key is pressed.

b.High frequency beep indicating a successful keypad entry sequence.

c.Low frequency beep indicating that improper data has been entered.

d.Three long low frequency beeps indicating all channels are busy or improper keypad operation.

e.	DTMF tones during DTMF over-dialing.

1.1Landline To Subscriber Call

When the ST-852M is called from a telephone system, it answers the telephone line with two beeps. The caller then dials the subscriber ID number of the subscriber or group that they are trying to call.

If the subscriber ID number is valid, the ST-852M attempts to reach the subscriber over the air. If the subscriber ID number is for a radiotelephone subscriber unit that is powered OFF or is out of the operating, area the caller will hear a busy signal. If the subscriber unit is powered ON and is in the operating area the caller will hear a ring back and the ST-865M3 will start ringing. The subscriber answers the call by pressing the asterisk key

(*) on the microphone DTMF keypad (Push-To-Talk (PTT) is not pressed).

If the subscriber does not answer within the mobile answer time (programmable), the caller will get a busy signal for a few seconds and then the ST-852M will hang up. If the subscriber does answer, the caller will hear two beeps and can then begin talking.

1.2Receiving A Call

The subscriber is alerted to an incoming call by ringing of the subscriber equipment. This alerting takes four forms, related to the type of incoming call.

a.A long single high frequency ring is generated by the logic board, then a low frequency dual tone ring is generated by the controller. This indicates an incoming landline call.

b.A short double high frequency ring is generated by the logic board, then a low frequency dual tone ring is generated by the controller. This indicates an incoming call from another SmarTrunk II radio subscriber.

c.A short single high frequency ring is generated by the logic board, then a double beep is generated by the controller. This indicates a manually dialed group call.

d.A short single high frequency ring is generated in the calling radios logic board, then a double beep is generated by the controller. This indicates a (PTT) dispatch group call.

For items a and b, the subscriber must press * on the DTMF keypad to answer the incoming call (Push-to-talk (PTT) is not pressed). For items c and d, the subscriber may communicate with other members of the group by pressing PTT (no answer action is required).

1.3Call Routing Codes For Subscriber Initiated Calls

Call routing codes are used for initiating a call from a subscriber to the appropriate destination. Call routing codes are commonplace in PBX telephone systems. For example, to place a call to an outside telephone line through a PBX, a call routing code of typically 0 or 9 must be dialed first. The SmarTrunk II system operates in a similar fashion, however, the call routing code is placed at the end of the calling sequence.

The following table describes all the call routing codes. The subscriber needs to be familiar only with the call routing codes that apply to their application.

10

1 • Operation

Table 1-1 • Call Routing Codes

	Routing Code	Destination
	1	Subscriber to Landline 1
	2	Subscriber to Landline 2
	3	Subscriber to Subscriber
	4	Fleet-Dispatch/Group Call
	5	Conventional Mode
	9	Mobile Operator
	0	Emergency

1.3.1Subscriber To Landline Call

Routing codes 1 and 2 give the subscriber access to telephone line one or two respectively. A subscriber may be restricted from line 2, or there may not be two telephone lines connected to the ST-852M. In this case, routing code 2 is not valid.

1.3.2Subscriber To Subscriber Call

Routing code 3 allows the subscriber to place a call to another subscriber or group of subscribers. The call is routed through the ST-852M and does not use the telephone system.

1.3.3Fleet Dispatch (Subscriber) To Group Call

Routing code 4 allows the subscriber to place a call to the subscriber’s own group. This functions as though the subscriber had used routing code 3 with the subscriber ID number of the subscriber’s own group. When automatic PTT is enabled, operation of the PTT initiates a group call to the subscribers group using routing code 4.

1.3.4Conventional Mode

Routing code 5 selects conventional mode. In this mode, radio channel switch positions not used by SmarTrunk II trunking channels may be programmed and used for conventional two-way radio operations. This feature is enabled or disabled during initial setup of the radio. Availability of this mode is determined by the radio dealer supplying the radio, or the System Operator/Manager.

1.3.5Mobile Operator Call

Routing code 9 calls the subscriber that is preprogrammed as the Mobile Operator. This functions as though the subscriber had used routing code 3 with the subscriber ID number of the Mobile Operator. The Mobile Operator is programmed by the System Operator/Manager.

1.3.6Emergency Call

Routing code 0 causes the ST-852M to access line 1 and dial the preprogrammed emergency phone number. The emergency phone number is programmed by the System Operator/Manager.

See the ST-852M SmarTrunk II Digital Trunking Controller Manual for details on programming the emergency numbers.

1.4Originating A Call

This section describes the advanced SmarTrunk II dialing methods. Dialing has an automatic five second time-out. If the time between pressing keys in a dialing sequence exceeds five seconds, the ST-865M3 times out. A low frequency beep will be heard and the dialing procedure must be restarted. To clear out previously entered data and restart dialing, press the # key.

A busy tone will be heard by the subscriber if connection is not possible. This can occur if a radio channel is not available, or if the subscriber unit is out of range. The subscriber must then retry the call at a later time, when within range and a radio channel is available.
