SECTION 1 GENERAL INFORMATION

GENERAL INFORMATION

1.1 SCOPE OF MANUAL

This service manual contains installation, operation, programming, align ment, and service in formation for the E.F. Johnson Summit

DM 975x and 977x

transceivers.

NOTE: The 900 MHz (977x) Summit DM model is no longer available.

1.2 EQUIPMENT DESCRIPTION

1.2.1 GENERAL

The 975x/977x are full featured, high performance transceivers that operate in the Multi-Net

LTR

, and conventional modes. The 975x is an 800

MHz transceiver which operates on the 760 trunked channels from 806-824 MHz (mobile transmit). The receive channels are 45 MHz above these frequencies (851-869 MHz). The 977x is a 900 MHz transceiver which operates on the 479 trunked channels from 896902 MHz (mobile transmit). The receive channels are 39 MHz above these frequencies (935-941 MHz). Standard analog fr eque ncy modulation is utilized.

The last digit of the model number (97x3, 97x4, 97x5, and 97x6) denotes fr ont or re mote mountin g and power output as shown in Table 1-2. This table also lists other E.F. Johnson Multi-Net transceivers and the distinguishing features of each.

Like all E.F. Johnson Multi-Net and LTR transceivers, the 975/97 7x is digit ally synt hesized and logic controlled. In the Multi-Net or LTR modes, all the user has to do to make a call is select the desired system and group and press the push-to- talk switch. If a busy or out-of-range condition is not indicated by special tones, the path to the other party is complete and speaking can begin. Channel selection, monitoring before transmitting, and squelch control are all performed by the logic.

1.2.2 PROGRAMMING

Transceiver programming is performed using a dealer-supplied personal computer and the E.F. Johnson RPI (Remote Programming Interface) and

programming software l is te d i n Table 1-1. Transceiver operating parameters are stored in an EEPROM reprogrammable memory. Refer to Section 4 for more programming information.

The operating code (firmware) for the microprocessor is stored in a flash-type memory device. This allows the operating program to be updated using E.F. Johnson Write-On

 programming software and the

standard transceiver programming setup. This simplifies software updates be cause the microp rocessor or an EPROM does not need to be changed. The latest Write-On software and operating code can be downloaded from the E.F. Johnson ACES

Bulletin Board System. Refer to Section 4.6 for more information on flash programming.

1.2.3 SELECTABLE SYSTEMS AND GROUPS

The maximum number of systems that can be programmed is determined by the type of system and the number of groups that are programmed. If only single-group systems are programmed, up to 73 MultiNet, 66 LTR, or 100 conventional systems can be programmed. Then as more groups are programmed, the number of systems decreases. If the maxim um number of groups are programmed (11 Multi-Net, 10 LTR/conventional), up to 32 Multi-Net, 30 LTR, or 32 conventional systems can be programmed. When data is being entered using the programming software, there is a running indication of the amount of EEPROM memory left.

With conventional operation, each system selects a channel, and the group switch select s the Call Guar d (CTCSS or digital) signaling and other parameters on that channel.

1.2.4 FRONT AND REMOTE MOUNTING

The 97x3/97x5 tran sceivers are des igned fo r front mounting within reach of the operator, and the 97x4/ 97x6 are designed for remote mounting in a location such as the trunk (see Table 1-2). The remote control unit cable connects to the remote interface pigtail coming from the back of the transceiver (see Figure 2-3). This pi gtail i s standa rd with remote mount transceivers only.

Part No. 001-9750-005

GENERAL INFORMATION

The remote control unit uses the same front panel assembly that is used on front mount transceivers. Therefore, it operates the same as a front-mount transceiver. A Remote Conversion Kit is available which converts the front pa nel of a front mount t ransce iver t o a remote control unit (see Table 1-1). The remote control unit has an internal 5-watt s peaker or an external 15-watt speaker can be used. Dual transceiver controls are also available when the remote control unit is connected to a standard front mount transceiver.

1.2.5 NPSPAC MODELS (800 MHZ ONLY)

All 800 MHz versions of this tr ansceiver meet the stricter specifications established by NPSPAC (National Public Safety Panel Advisory Committee) for public safety frequencies from 821-824 and 866869 MHz. Deviation is less on NPSPAC channels; however , no alig nment chan ge i s requi red beca use it is automatically set for the correct level when a public safety channel is selected

(see Appendix A.2).

1.5 ACCESSORIES

The accessories avail able for this transceiver are listed in Table 1-2. A brief description of several of these accessories follows.

Mounting Hardware - The mounting hardware and DC power cable are shown in Figures 2-1 and 2-3 in Section 2. A 22-foot DC power cable is used for both front and remote mount applications. The cable is cut to the required length at installation and any excess discarded. The accesso ry cabl e is used to connect such things as an external speaker, public address, ignition sense input, and a horn alert to the transceiver. It includes two 22-foot and three 2-foot wires that are connected as required to external points. The adapter cable is used to connect a 86xx-series power cable to these transceivers.

Key Cap Kit - This kit includes key caps labeled for all the functions that can be controlled by the six front panel option switches. Also included are blank key caps for unused switches. An extraction tool for removing the key caps is included in the cable and hardware kit. Refer to Section 2.6 for key cap installation information.

Lockable Mounting Tray - This bracket allows the transceiver to be l ocked in plac e to guar d agains t th eft. In addition, it allows it to be easily unlocked and removed from the vehicle. Refer to Section 2.8 for installation information.

Microphones and Speaker - The microphones in Table 1-1 have an impedance of 620 ohms. All DTMF microphones are backlighted. The environmentally sealed microphones are sealed against such things as rain, sand, and dust.

The transceiver identification number is printed on a label that is affixed to the bottom cover. The following information is contained in that number:

GENERAL INFORMATION

Control Station Power Supply - The 11-ampere versions are used with the 15-watt transceivers only, and the 15-ampere models can be used with all models. The transceiver slides into the power supply housing and receives power from banana jacks on the back of the power supply. The standard power cable is used for connectin g power , and the inter nal trans ceiver speaker provides speaker audio.

Programming Hardware and Software - The RPI provides the interface between the programming computer and transceiver. This RPI is used for programming both radio personality information and the Write-On™ flash memory (see Section 1.2.2).

The cables from the RPI to the computer and transceiver are not included with the RPI and must be ordered separately. The transceiver programming software is available for IBM PC or compatible computers only. The operating parameters are programmed using the software listed in Table 1-1, and the Writ e-On flash memory is programmed using different software available on the ACES

system (see Section 4.6). The cloning cable allows one transceiver to program another with identical information. Refer to Section 4 for more programming informat ion.

Accessory Wire Kit, Part No. 0239750-011, includes a wire assembly that is used to connect the igni tion sense input a nd access ories . These components are shown in Figures 2-1 and 2-3.

2.2.2 MOUNTING TRANSCEIVER

a. Check the area underneath the selected mounting

area for wiring, brake and gas lines, or ot her components that could be dam aged when the mounting bracket is installed. Then install the mounting bracket using the included self- dr il li ng scr ews or other screws if desired.

2.1.5 SELECTING A MOUNTING LOCATION

The front-mount transceivers are designed for mounting in a location near the operator such as the dash, console, or transmission hump. The remotemount transceivers are designed for mounting in a location such as the trunk.

WARNING

The mounting location of the transceiver or control unit can affect safe operation of the vehicle. Follow these precautions when installing this transceiver:

• Mount it where it does not interfere with operation

of the vehicle controls.

• Mount it where the operator can easily see the

display and reach the controls.

b. Install the transceiver in the bracket using the

included knobs.

c. With front-mount transceivers, install the micro-

phone hanger in a convenient location using the screws for sheet metal or plastic. The hanger must be connected to cha ssis ground f or proper operation of functions such as monitoring and scan. If required, ground the hanger using the included ground wire.

2.3 POWER CABLE INSTALLATION

a. Disconnect the negative cable from the battery to

prevent damage from accidental short circuits.

NOTE: Both leads of the power cable should be connected directly to the vehicle battery. Connection to other points may result in increased interference from the vehicle's electrical system. If noise is still a problem, an optional DC noise filter is available (see Table 1-1).

• Mount it where it will not likely cause additional

injury in case of an accident.

b. Route the red power cable to the battery. If there is

excess cable, cut it off at a convenient location and

then splice it using the included butt splice connectors. Y ou may also need to cut the cable if it must be routed through the firewall and there is no opening large enough to clear the fuseholder. If a hole is drilled in the firewall, be sure to seal it when the installation is complete.

c. Connect the red power cable to the positive (+) ter-

minal of the battery.

d. Connect the blue cable to the negative (–) battery

terminal.

e. Plug the power cable into the transce iver and recon-

nect the negative battery cable.

f. Install the antenna according to the manufacturer's

instructions. Th e t r ansc ei ver ha s an “N” connector. Check VSWR. Reflected p ower shou ld be l ess th an 4% of forward power (VSWR less than 1.5 to 1).

2.4 ACCESSORY CABLE INSTALLATION

2.4.1 GENERAL

Accessory Cable Kit, Part No. 023-9750-011, is standard with Summit DM transceivers. This cable in this kit plugs into the accessory pigtail coming from the back of the transceiver. It is used for connecting the ignition sense input and the external speaker, horn

alert, public address, and external emergency switch accessories.

Two 8-pin connectors are included. One has a jumper installed from pin 1 to 3 for routing audio to the internal speaker (see next section). Also included are two 22-foot and three 2-foot wires with attached pins that can be used as required. Refer to Figure 2-2 and install this cable as described in the following information.

NOTE: The ignition sense input must always be connected because the transceiver does not operate if it is not. In addition, the speaker jumper must be installed to route audio to the internal speaker (except remote-mount models).

2.4.2 INTERNAL/EXTERNAL SPEAKER

CAUTION

Do not connect either speaker output to a supply voltage because serious damage to the audio ampl ifier will result. (The amplifier is designed to withstand momentary grounding of the speaker outputs.)

Internal Speaker

To enable the in ternal speaker of front-mount transceivers, insert the plug with the jumper from pin 1 to 3 into th e accessory jack. This routes the audio on

INSTALLATION

pin 1 back in to the internal speaker connected to pin

3. The other internal speaker terminal is internally connected to pin 2.

External Speaker

With front-mount transceivers, 4-ohm, 15-watt external speaker , Par t No. 250-0151-006, or equivalent can be connected to pins 1 and 2 of the accessory connector. Proceed as follows:

a. Locate the connector included in the Accessory

Wire Kit that does not have pins 1 and 3 jumpered.

b. If installing the external speaker listed above, the

connector pins are already attached to the speaker wires. Insert one pin into the pin 1 location and the other into the pin 2 loca tion. If installing some other speaker, use a 2- or 22-foot wire as required.

Remote-mount Transceivers

With remote-mount transceivers, two wires coming from the control cable connector are inserted into the pin 1 and 2 slots to apply speaker audio to the remote control unit. Refer to Section 2.5.3 for more information.

2.4.4 HORN ALERT

The horn alert feature enables the vehicle horn or some other type of alert such as the lights when a call is received that is programmed for this feature. For more operation information, refer to Section 2.4.4.

When the horn alert is enabled, pin 4 of the accessory connector goes low for 0.5 second and then high for 0.5 second for three cycles . It then goes ba ck to the disabled mode which is a high impedance state. Maximum sink current is 500 mA. Some type of dealer-supplied horn alert driver is required to use this output. To connect the horn alert driv er circuit t o pin 4, use an accessory cable wire. If connecting to the coil of a relay, a diode should be connected across the rel ay coil with the cathode to the battery side. This protects Q403 on the audio/logic board when the relay deenergizes.

2.4.5 EXTERNAL PUBLIC ADDRESS

The speaker and microphon e au dio si gnals c an be routed to an external public address system. A Public Address option button or menu parameter is required to control this feature. Refer to Section 3.5.10 for operation information.

2.4.3 IGNITION SENSE

This ignition sense l i ne is pin 6 of the accessory connector. It is connected using an included wire assembly. When the ignition sense input is connected to a source switched by the vehicle ignition switch, it provides the following functions.

a. Power automatically turns on and off with the igni-

tion switch.

b. A turn-off delay can be programmed (see Section

3.6.7). An automatic turn-off delay may prevent accidental discharge of the vehicle battery if the transceiver is left on for extended periods (1 or 2 days). Standby current is approximately 1 ampere.

If these features are not used and transceiver power is to be controlled by the front-panel power switch only, the ignition sense input can be connected to an unswitched source.

The public address output is pin 7 of the accessory connector. This AC-coupled output is limited to 300-3000 Hz. The typical output level is 2.2 V P-P, and output impedance is less than 200 ohms. Use an included accessory cable wire asse mbly to connect thi s output.

2.4.6 INPUT B (EMERGENCY SWITCH)

An emergency swit ch can be used t o set up a hi gh priority call (see Section 3.6.8). A front-panel option button or an external switch such as a foot-operated type can be used. The external emer gency switch input is pin 8 of the accessory connector. This input is ac ti ve low and has an internal pull-up resistor. Therefore, a SPST normally open switch is used with one terminal connected to pin 8 and the other to chassis ground. (Chassis ground is available at pin 5 of the accessory connector.) Use an included accessory cable wire assembly to connect this switch. Refer to Section 4.7 for programming informat io n.

Currently, address information is not used, so any address can be programmed.

NOTE: R133 should always be “in” because if it is “out” and TP100 is brought low to enter the setup mode, the control unit EEPROM memory is erased.

Volume Control Configuration (S100 5, 6)

S100, 5 and 6 select which unit controls the volume. With a remote-mount transceiver, the “Remote” configuration is selected so that the control unit volume control adjusts the volume of the internal or external speaker (see Section 2.5.4).

When a control unit is used with a front-mount transceiver to provide dual controls, “Remote” or

“Disabled” is selected. When “Remote” is selected, the transceiver and control unit volume controls operate in parallel (the volume level is the sum of the levels set by both controls). When “Disabled” is selected, only the transceiver volume control sets the volume level. In the dual control configuration, the levels of the transceiver and control unit internal speakers are the same.

The “Local” setting provides a locally controlled audio output that can be routed to a separate audio amplifier. However, in the cur rent configu ration, this setting cannot be used because the signal is routed to the microprocessor and improper operation will result.

LCD Viewing Angle (S101 4)

S101-4

Settable by menu mode* Off Fixed viewing angl e On

S101-4 programs if the LCD viewing angle can be set by the menu mode or is a fixed setting. If it is settable by the menu mode, that mode and the “VIEW ADJUST” parameter must be enabled by transceiver programming. Any change is then permanently stored in the control unit EEPROM memory. The displays of the transceiver or other control units are not affected because they can only be changed locally.

If “Fixed” is programmed, the fact or y defau lt viewing angle is selected on power up. This default setting can be changed by the Setup Mode (see Section

2.5.2). If a change is made by the menu mode with “Fixed” programmed, that setting is r etained on ly until power is turned off.

Backlight On-Off (S101-3)

S101-3

Settable by menu mode* Off Fixed (factory setting = on) On

S101-5 programs if the backlight can be turned on and off by the menu mode or is fixed. Operation is similar to the LCD viewing angle described in the preceding section. If “Fixed” is programmed, the factory default setting of “on” can be changed by the setup mode.

2.5.2 USING SETUP MODE

The control unit has a setup mode that can be selected to program the default setting of the LCD viewing angle and backlight when “Fixed” is selected as described in the preceding information. Proceed as follows:

a. Remove the back cover of the cont rol unit and locate

TP100 on the interface board (see Figure 2-4).

b. With control unit power turned on, momentarily

ground TP100 to select the setup mode.

c. To change the default back light conditio n, press th e

Select switch so that the bac klight is eit her on or off as desired.

d. T o cha nge the LCD vie wing angle, rot ate the Sel ect

switch in either direction to achiev e the desired sharpness.

e. When the desired configurations have been

selected, exit the setup mode by turning power off and then on again. The selected condition is stored in the EEPROM as it is selected.

2.5.3 MOUNTING REMOTE CONTROL UNIT

A diagram showing a remote transceiver installation is located in Figure 2-3. A control unit mounting bracket, 17-foot control cable, and mounting hardware are included with remote mount transceivers. Install the control unit as follows:

a. Check the area underneath the selected mounting

location to make sure there is nothing that will be damaged when the mounting screws are installed. Then install the mounting bracket using the included self-drilling screws or other screws if desired.

b. Install the control unit in the bracket using the

included plastic washers, spr ing washers, and knobs as shown in Figure 2-3.

INSTALLATION

c. Install the microphone hanger in a convenient loca-

tion using the screws for sh eet metal or plas tic. T he hanger must be connected to chassis ground for proper operation of functions such as monitoring and scan. If required, ground the hanger using the included ground wire.

d. Route the control cable from the transceiver to the

control unit and plug it into both.

e. To route spe aker audio to the cont rol unit, inser t the

two wires on the transceiver e nd of the contr ol cable into the slots for pins 1 and 2 of the accessory connector (see Figures 2 -2 and 2 -3). The order o f thes e wires is not important.

NOTE: If the control unit is being used with a frontmount transceiver to provide dual controls, a jumper must also be connected between pins 1 and 3 of the accessory connector to route audio to the transceiver speaker.

2.5.4 USING AN EXTERNAL SPEAKER WITH A REMOTE CONTROL UNIT

(high) state. This is sensed by the microprocessor which may t hen initiate such actions as halting scanning or enabling the conventional monitor mode.

To prevent this from happening, the transceiver should be programmed as a remote-mount type by selecting “Yes” for the “Remote Trunk Mount” parameter on the Main Radi o Parameters screen (see Section

4.3.2). The microprocessor then assumes that the hanger line is always in an on-hook sta te (low). Thi s is the only special transceiver programming that is required to use the remote control unit.

In dual control applications, the hanger line is controlled by a microphone, so this parameter should be programmed “No”. The hanger line is not used in remote-mount configurations because the microprocessor detects the control unit hanger status from data on the serial data bus.

A 12-watt external speaker (such as th e one list ed in Table 1-1) can be used in place of the 5-watt speaker in the control unit. Instead of connecting the two control cable wires to the accessory connector as described in step e above, connect the external speaker to pins 1 and 2 of that connector instead. It is not recommended that an external speaker be used if an internal speaker is also being used such as in dual control applications.

OPERATION

3.3 OPERATING MODES

3.3.1 INTRODUCTION

Each selectable system can be programmed with a unique set of transceiver operating parameters. One of these parameters is the operating mode which can be Multi-Net, LTR, or conventional. The type or types of operation programmed is determined by the radio equipment that is being accessed by that system. The basic operating diff erences between these system types are as follows.

3.3.2 MULTI-NET AND LTR MODES

The Multi-Net mode provides the most powerful operating features. Features available only with MultiNet operation include Busy Queuing, Status Messages, Auto-Registration, and special calls (see Sections 5.7 and 5.8).

The LTR mode of operation is similar to the Multi-Net mode. The main difference is that the preceding features are not available. The features that are unique to LTR operation are described in Section

3.8. In both the Multi-Net and LTR modes, channel selection and monitoring before transmitting are performed automatically by the transceiver. Telephone calls (if available) can be placed almost as conveniently as with a standard telephone. Busy and out-of-range conditions are indicated by special tones and display messages.

3.3.3 CONVENTIONAL MODE

General

Selecting a convention al syste m selects a specifi c radio channel, and selecting a group (if available) selects the type of s quelc h control u sed on that channel such as carrier or Call Guard tone (CTCSS) or digital squelch. This selects the specific mobiles or group of mobiles being called and which calls are received on that channel.

Channel selection is performed manually by selecting a system. Monitoring can be performed automatically or manually (see next paragraph) When it is performed automatically, a special tone and display message indicate a busy condition. Otherwise, there

are no tones or display messages to indicate busy and out-of-range conditions.

Monitoring Before Transmitting

If the Transmit Disable On Busy feature is programmed (see Section 3.9.1), monitoring is performed automatical ly. Otherwise, it is perf ormed as follows:

• If not scanning, note if “BUSY” is being displayed.

If it is not, the channel is free and a messa ge can be transmitted.

• If scanning, take the microphone off-hook to halt

scanning and enable the monit or mode (indicated by “MON” in display). The monitor mode (see Section

3.9.3) can also be selected by the MON switch if available. This mode disables any squelch control features so that all messages are heard. If no messages are heard, the channel is free and a message can be transmitted. If the transceiver is programmed to not detect an of f-hook condition, the MON switch or the Transmit Disable On Busy feature must be used to perform monitoring.

3.3.4 MULTI-NET AND LTR SYSTEM/GROUPS

Systems

When the system is programmed for Multi-Net or LTR operation, information such as home repeater, all encode and decode ID codes, and call indicator and horn alert operation is programmed. The ID codes can be fixed priority, selectable, and block types. The types of ID codes and the number of I D code s th at can be programmed in each category are as follows. Any combination of codes can be programmed and all codes can be different.

Decode (Receive)

Revised February 1997

Part No. 001-9750-005

OPERATION

Block

Up to all 225 (M-Net) --Up to all 250 (LTR) ---

Groups

Each group switch position selects one of the selectable ID codes. O nly the selected ID code is encoded when transmitting because it is not possible to encode more than one code. Group scan programming determines how the selectable ID codes are detected. Without group scan, only the selected ID code is decoded; with group scan, all selectable codes are decoded.

The fixed priority and block ID codes are always decoded regardless of which group is sele cted or group scan programming (if the system is selected or scanned). When a fixed priority ID code is detected, the selectable groups of that system are checked to see if any are programmed with the same code. If one is the same, the number and unique identification of that group are displayed. If none are programmed with the priority ID code, “PRIORITY 1” or “PRIORITY 2” is displayed and the group number does not change. When a block ID code is detected, the group number never changes and “BLOCK CALL” is displayed.

immediately drops that call and switches to another repeater to receive the higher priority call.

The priority order of the receive ID codes is as

follows:

1.Fixed Priority ID Code 1

2.Fixed Priority ID Code 2

3.Selectable ID Codes (w ith last sel revert prog)

4.Block ID codes

For example, if a call is being received on selectable group 4 and a c al l i s detected on priority ID 2, the call on group 4 is immediately dropped and the transceiver switches to the call on priority ID 2.

If the system is programmed for Multi-Net operation, incoming call information is received on both the status repeater and the repeater to which a mobile is trunked (refer to Section 5.6). Therefore, a priority call is not missed even if a mobile is not using its home repeater. With LTR operation, call information is received on only the ho me repea ter. Therefore, priority calls are not detect ed while trunked to some other repeater. Other times when priority calls could be missed with both types of systems are when some other system not programmed with the priority ID is being monitored and while transmitting.

The Scan Resume Delay described in Section

3.4.3 determines how long the priority or block group is displayed a fter t he cal l en ds. In a dditi on, if a pr iori ty call is received on a selectable group, the “Scan Revert Mode” programming described in Sections 3.4.4 and

3.4.5 determines if a res ponse occ urs on the disp layed, last selected, or fixed group. With block calls and priority calls not on a selectable group, a response can be made by manually selecting a system/group programmed for that purpose.

Receive Priority ID Codes

The fixed, selectable, and block ID codes have a priority order so that an incoming call with a higher priority ID code can inte rrupt a lower priority call in progress. One use of receive priority is to allow a dispatcher to interrupt calls in progress with an important “all call” message. If the transceiver detects a call with a higher priority ID than the one it is receiving, it

With Mul ti-Net oper ation, cer tain types of special calls may also interru pt st and ard or other special call s. Table 3-1 shows which Multi-Net calls can interrupt another type. Multi- Net operation also has an access priority which is discussed in Section 5.8.2.

Standard Calls

Standard calls are between mobiles or groups of mobiles assigned to the same home repeater. They use the standard group ID codes from 1-225 as described in Section 5.7 (1-250 with LTR calls). A standard call is placed by simply selecting a group programmed with the desired group ID and then pressing the PTT switch. No number is dialed using a keypad as with special calls. To receive a standard call, the mobile must be programmed to decode the group ID code being transmitted. With all Multi-Net calls, unique ID code information is al so tr ans m it te d b y the ori ginating mobile. However, it is not decoded when receiving a standard call.

resumes.

System scanning is turned on and off by the SCAN option switch (see Sect ion 3.5.19). When system scanning is enabled by an option switch, a triangle (

∆ ) is indicated in the display below the

switch. The microphone must also be on-hook for scanning to occur (unless off-hook detection has been disabled by programming). When system scanning is actually occurring, either “SNGLE SCAN” (singlesite) or “MULTI SCAN” (multi-sit e) is i ndicated in the alphanumeric display (see next section). In addition, two rotating symbols are present in the status display between the system and gr oup numbers a s described i n Section 3.2.

Scanning is sequential through the programmed systems in the current bank unless they have been deleted from the scan list or single-site scan is used. The selected system and group can be changed while scanning using t he Select switch in the no rmal man ner. Scanning temporarily halts while the change is being made.

3.4.2 MULTIPLE- AND SINGLE-SITE SCAN

Each bank can be programmed for either MultiSite or Single-Site scan. This can also be selected by the user if the Menu Mo de “SCAN SELCT” parame ter is available (see Section 3.5.21). The type of scanning currently selected is indicated by “SNGLE SCAN” or “MULTI SCAN” in the alphanumeric display when scanning is occurring. The single-site type should be used when only Multi-Net systems programmed with the same site number are to be scanned. Otherwise, the multiple-site type should be used. These types of scan operate as follows:

Single-Site Scan - Calls are detected on only systems in the current bank that are programmed with the site number of the revert sys te m. For e xampl e, i f System 2 was displayed when scanning was turned on, only systems programmed with the System 2 site number are scanne d. For more information on sites, refer to Sections 4.4.4 and 5.4.

3-6

Revised February 1997

Part No. 001-9750-005

OPERATION

If LTR or conventional systems are also programmed, they are skipped in the scan sequence because only Multi-Net systems are scanned. If an attempt is made to enter scanning on with an LTR or conventional system displayed, scanning can be selected only if Mult i- Net auto-registration is enabled. Auto-registration then occurs and scanning begins on that site. If auto-registration is not programmed, an error tone sounds, “NOT MULTI” is displayed, and the scan mode is not entered.

The single-site type of scanning is very efficient because only the status repeater of the site is monitored which means that no waiting is required to change channels. The data from the status repeater is checked against the home repeater/group ID codes of all selectable systems programmed with that site number. If there is a match, the transceiver swi tch es t o the appropriate repeater and receives the call.

If no traffic is d et ect ed on the st atus channel for a period of time, the transceiver begins scanning the home repeaters of all systems programmed with the site number being scanned. This ensures that scanning occurs even if the status repeater is not on the air. The status channel also continues to be scanned, and normal scanning of the status channel resumes when messages are again detect ed. When home re peaters a re scanned, data messages are decoded for only as long as necessary to detect all calls on that repeater.

Multiple-Site Scan - This type of scan is programmed when more than one site is scanned or if LTR or conventional systems are to be scanned. The status channels of Multi-Net systems are scanned as are the home repeater of LTR systems and the channels of conventional systems. As with Single-Site Scan, if the status channel of a particular Multi-Net site is not in service, the ho me channels are scanned until messages are again detected on that status channel. All system/ groups in the current bank (see Section 3.6.6) are scanned unless they are deleted from the scan list.

3.4.3 SCAN RESUME DELAY

NOTE: The following timers are also used is some circumstances when not scanning, such as when priority or block calls are received as described in Section

3.3.4.

Receive Delay

When a message is received whi le scanning, the re is a programmable delay of 0-7 seconds before scanning resumes (if it has not been disabled, such as by taking the microphone off-hook). This delay is called Receive Delay Time and it prevents another message from being received before a response can be made. This delay is also in effect if a front panel control is changed while scanning such as to select another system/group. This tim er is reset if another call is received.

Transmit Delay

The Receive Delay Time controls the scan delay until the transmitter is keyed and then the Call Delay Time controls the delay. This time is also programmable for 0-7 second s a nd i t e nsu res that a response to your message is heard instead of some other message occurring on another system/group. The Call Delay Timer remains active for the remainder of the conversation and controls w hen normal scanning resumes even if additional responses are received.

Scan Continue Ti mer

There is also a scan continue timer that can be programmed. This timer control s the maximum time that a call is received before scanning resumes. This prevents scanning from be ing del ayed for long per iods by lengthy calls. This time can be programmed for 060 seconds in 1-second increments. If “0” is programmed, there is no time limit and the entire message is always received.

3.4.4 TRANSMITTING IN THE SCAN MODE

NOTE: If Auto-Registration is used, the revert system may change automatically. Refer to Section 3.7.2 for more information.

Programming of the “Scan Revert Mode” radio parameter determines the system/group on which transmissions occur in the scan mode. In addition, if this programming causes the selected system/group to change, it affects the system/group that is selected when the scan mode is exited by pressing the Scan switch. An exception when it does not control the transmit system/group is if the bank is programmed

OPERATION

with a fixed transmit system/group as described in Section 3.4.5. The three programmable configurations are as follows:

Last Selected System/Group - Transmissions always occur on the sy stem/gr oup t hat wa s las t se lecte d by the Select switch. To respond to a call not on the selected system/group, the scan mode must be exited by pressing the scan switch. If this is done before scanning resumes, the system/group of the call becomes the selected system /group and it is not necessary to change it manually. The system/group of the call is displayed until the microphone is taken off-hook, the PTT switch is pressed, or the scan delay expires.

Last Received - The se lected s ystem/grou p changes t o the system/group of a call. Therefore, the user can always respond to a call without having to manually change the system/group.

Temporary Last Received - The system/group changes to the syst em/group of a call for only the duration of the scan resume delay period described in Section 3.4.3. Then when the delay expires, the selected system/group is again displayed. Therefore, a response to a call can be made without changing the selected system/group if it occurs before scanning resumes.

3.4.6 SCAN LIST PROGRAMMING

Systems and groups can be added to or deleted from the scan list if the transceiver is equipped with an A/D (add/delete) option switch. The bar above the system or group indicates which will change when the A/D switch is pressed. To switch this bar between the system and group displays, press the Select switch.

The scan list status of a system or group is indicated in the status display. An next to the system number indicates that the displayed system is in the scan list and scanned normally. Likewise, an next to the group number indicates that the displayed group is in the scan list. When scanning is occurring, the scan list status is not indicated because the rotating scanning indicators are displayed.

The selected group is always scanned, even if it is deleted. Therefore, if all systems or groups are deleted, the selected group is still scanned. Systems and groups can be deleted from the scan list while listening to a message on the system or group by pressing the A/D key in the normal manner. Scanning resumes shortly after the system or group is deleted. Deleting a system only temporarily deletes the groups associated with that system. Therefore, when a system is added back into the scan list, the original group scan list is again active.

NOTE: If a transmit request is received from a data device, the preceding programming is overridden (see Section 3.6.11).

3.4.5 FIXED TRANSMIT IN SCAN MODE

If a system and group are entered for the “Fixed System/Group Transmit During Scan” bank parameter, this programming may

take precedence over the “Scan Revert Mode” programming described in the preceding section. If the transmitter then is keyed while scanning is occurring (rotating status display), transmissions occur on the programmed fixed system/group. In addition, it becomes the selected system/group. Since taking the microphone off-hook halts scanning unless off-hook detection is disabled, the transmitter must usually be keyed with the microphone on-hook. If the transmitter is keyed with scanning halted or when no system/group is programmed for this parameter, the programming described in the preceding section takes precedence.

The transceiver can be programmed to either save or not save changes to the scan list. This programming can be done by the system operator or by the user if the Menu Mode “SCAN SAV” parameter is selectable. Changes are saved when “ON” is selected, and not saved when “OFF” is selected. Therefore, to store a list with the menu mode, select “ON”, program the list, then select “OFF”. When power is cycled, the scan list then returns to the status the existed when “OFF” was selected. If the menu parameter is not selectable, the scan list returns to the last selected status if “ON” is programmed, and to the dealer programmed default state if “OFF” is programmed.

3.4.7 GROUP SCAN

Each system can be programmed for Group Scan using the programming software. There is no switch for selecting this feature. Group scanning occurs whenever a system programmed for group scan is selected or scanned with the microphone on-hook (the scan mode

OPERATION

If the transceiver is equipped with a MENU option switch, the Menu Mode can also be selected to control various functions. The functions that can be controlled by the Menu Mode are indicated in Table 3-2 by an “X” in the “MENU ITEM” column.

System operator programming controls which functions are displayed in the Menu Mode and also which option switche s ar e a vailable. Therefore, a function can be fixed by system operator programming by disabling that menu item, programming the default condition, and not programming an option switch to control it. Refer to Section 3.6.5 for more information on creating a radi o profile. If a function is assigned to an option switch, it is not available as a menu item.

If a call is received or transmitted while in the Menu Mode, the Menu Mode is exit ed and any changes are saved. The menu mo de is selected as follows. The Menu Mode and option switch functions are described in the following sections.

Selecting The Menu Mode

a. Press the MENU switch to select the Menu M ode.

Then turn the Select switch to select the parameter to be modified.

3.5.3 AUTO-REGISTRATION

This Menu mode feature is indicated by “MN AUTOREG”, and it is used to turn Multi-Net a utoregistration on and off (see Section 3.7.2).

3.5.4 AUXILIARY 1 AND 2

Up to two auxiliary functions can be turned on and off by the Menu Mode “AUX 1” and “AUX 2” parameters or the AUX 1 and AUX 2 option switches. (There is also a SIREN key cap that can be used for these switches.) When a switch is used, the on condition is indicated by a triangle in the display under the switch. The output lines fo r thes e func tions come fr om optional universal inter fa ce connector J601. Auxiliary 1 is pin 14 (AUX 1), and Auxi liary 2 is pin 16 (OUTPUT B). These outputs are active high. Refer to Section 4.7 for programming information.

An appropriate driver circuit is required to utilize these outputs. Maximum source current of AUX 1 is 50 mA and the output voltage is 8 VDC

±10%.

OUTPUT B is a TTL output that can provide approximately 10 m A of drive current.

3.5.5 BACKLIGHT

The Menu Mode “BACKLIGHT” parameter or the BKLHT option switch can be used to turn the display backlight on and off. This light allows the display and option keys to be seen in low-light conditions. If this feature is not controlled by the Menu mode or option switch, it is usually programmed “Enabled” so that it turns on with transceiver power.

The on condition of the switch is indicated by a triangle in the display under the switch. See the Horn Alert description in Section 3.6.4 for more information.

3.5.13 LTR SYSTEM SEARCH SELECT

The Menu Mode “LTR SEARCH” parameter enables or disables the LTR system search feature (refer to Se ction 3.5.13). If it is ena bled, the transceiver automatically searches for an in-range system whenever an out-of-range condition occurs when making an LTR telephone call.

3.5.14 MENU SELECT SWITCH

The MENU option switch selects the Menu mode described in Section 3.5.

If the vehicle is equipped with a public address system, this feature all ows t he tr ans ce ive r microphone to be used to speak over that system. Eith er the Menu Mode “EXTERNL PA” or the PA-MC option switch can be used to activate this feature. When this feature is active, the transmitte r is disabled and the alph anumeric display indicates “MIC TO PA”. The PA output is pin 7 of the accessory cable (see Section 2.4.5).

The receive audio signal can also be heard on the public address system (as well as from the regular speaker). Either the Menu Mode “EXTERNL PA” parameter or the PA-RX option switch can be used to activate this feature. The alphanumeric display indicates “RCV AUD PA” when this feature is active . The output for this function is also pin 7 of the accessory cable.

3.5.18 RADIO SOUNDS

The Menu Mode “RADIO SNDS” parameter selects the tones that are heard when switches are pressed or busy or out- of-range condition s exist. If this menu item is not enabled, the tones that sound are fixed by system operator programming. The four available conditions are as follows:

Silent - No tones at all sound. Key Beeps Only- Only the option switch and

Select switch beeps sound.

Alert Tones Only - The proceed, busy, and inter-

cept tones sound, but not the key beeps.

All Tones - All tones sound.

3.5.19 SCAN ON/OFF

The SCAN option switch can be used to turn the system scan feature on and off (see Section 3.4). The on condition is indicated by a triangle under the switch. Without this switch, scanning is not available.

3.5.20 SCAN LIST SAVE

The Menu Mode “SCAN SAV” paramete r s ele ct s if changes t o the scan list are saved when power is turned off. If “ON” is selected they are saved, and if “OF” is programmed they are not saved. Refer to Section 3.4.6 for more information.

3.5.21 SCAN TYPE

The Menu Mode “SCAN SELCT” parameter selects the type of system sca nning tha t occurs when it is enabled by the SCAN switch. Either “M ULTI SITE” or “SNGLE SITE” can be selected. The type of scanning is indicated in the alphanumeric display when scanning is occurring. Refer to Section 3.4.2 for more information.

3.5.22 STATUS SELECT

The Menu Mode “STATUS” parameter or STAT option switch is used to display or change the status message that is being transmitted each time the transmitter is keyed with a Multi-Net system selected. Up to eight status messages may be programmed by the programming software. The Select switch is rotated to choose the desired condit ion and t hen presse d to sel ect

that condition. Refer to Section 3.7.3 for more information.

3.5.23 TALK-AROUND

The Menu Mode “TALKAROUND” parameter or TA option switch is used to turn talk-around on and off on conventi onal groups. Refer to Section 3.9.4 for more information.

3.5.24 VIEWING ANGLE

The Menu Mode “VIEW ADJ” para meter set s the viewing angle of the display. This provides optimal intensity when the Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) is viewed from the selected viewing angle. If you have trouble viewing information in the display, especially in low-light conditions , try changi ng this param eter.

Viewing angles represented by 0-15 can be selected. “0” = -45

° and “15” = +45°. Note that when

toggling from “15” to “0”, the display may appear to indicate all 8's. However, this is not what is actually being displayed because the correct information is indicated when it is viewed from -45

°.

3.6 GENERAL FEATURES

3.6.1 TIME-OUT TIMER

The Time-Out Timer automatically disables the transmitter if it is keyed continuously for longer than the programmed time. It is programmable using the programming software for 0.5-5 minutes in halfminute increments. It ca n al so be disabled by programming “disabled”. When the timer times out, the transmitter is automatically disabled, the intercept tone sounds, and “TX TIMEOUT” is displayed. Five seconds before time-out occurs, a warning beep sounds. The timer is rese t by relea sing the PTT switch. This feature prevents a channel from being kept continuously busy by an accidentally keyed transmitter. It also prevents possible transmitter damage caused by transmitt ing for extended periods.

3.6.2 CALL INDICATOR

The call indicator is the w ord “CALL” in the display. The purpose of this indicator is to show when a call is received while the user was away from the

OPERATION

vehicle. To turn this indicator off, change any front panel control, tak e t he mic ro phone off-hook, press the PTT switch, or turn power off and then on again. The call indicator operates in both the scan and non-scan modes. It is disabled during the scan delay periods described in Section 3.4.3.

With Multi-Net and LTR operation, the call indicator can be programmed to activate on specific fixed priority and selectable ID codes. It does not activate when calls are received on block ID codes. With conventional operation, the call indicator can be programmed to activate on each group. If a group is programmed for carrier squelch or if the monitor mode is enabled, it turns on when a carr ier is detect ed. If Call Guard squelch is used, it turns on when the Call Guard tone or code is detected.

3.6.3 PROCEED (CLEAR-TO-TALK) TONE

This is a short tone that sounds when the PTT switch is presse d. It indic at es tha t the radio sy stem has been successfully accessed (data handshake completed) and speaking can begin. It is available on LTR and Multi-Net systems without any special programming and can be enabled or disabled on conventional systems . This and other t ones can a lso be enabled or disabled by the Radio Sounds parameter described in Section 3.5.18.

When making any type of Multi-Net or LTR call, if the busy tone sounds and “SYSTEM BSY” is displayed when the PTT switch is pressed, the system is busy. If the PTT switch i s held down, the system is accessed and the proceed tone sounds when it is available. If an out-of-range or some other error condition exists, the intercept tone sounds and the error condition is displayed.

If the proceed tone has been programmed on conventional systems, it does not sound if the channel is busy, but does sound even if an out-of-range condition exists. This occurs because there is no handshake that can be used to detect this condition. The channel should still be monitored manually because the transmitter always keys when the PTT switch is pressed (unless the Tr ansmit Disable On Busy feature is being used).

individually enabled or disabled on each dispatch group (a fixed delay of approximately 500 ms occurs with interconnect and au xiliary c alls). This fe ature can be used to delay speaking with calls which have a longer setup time. This delay is available only with transceiver software, Version 222 or later, and programming software, Version 206 or later.

3.6.4 HORN/LIGHT ALERT

General

This feature activ ates an exte rnal aler t such as the vehicle's horn or lights when calls are received on groups or priority ID codes programmed for this feature. When enabl ed as des cr ibe d i n this section, the alert turns on for 0.5 secon d and off for 0.5 second for three cycles (3 seconds). It then goes back to the disabled state. Inst allation is described i n Section 2.4.4.

NOTE: In early 1996, a new version of transceiver software began shipping that allows two modes of horn alert operation to be programmed. New programming software is also required to program the additional mode. The transceiver software is Version 213 or later (see Appendix A), and the programming software is Version 204 or later (see Section 4.1.5). Another change occurred with Version 214 software t o make Mode A totally manual (Mode A-1 described below is then no longer available).

Operation in Mode A and B

Horn alert operation of earlier models (versions prior to 213) is always Mode A-1. The revised transceiver software and

programming software are

required to program Mode B.

A power-off delay can be programmed to occur when power is turned off by the ignition switch (s ee Section 3.6.7). If the ignition switch does not control power, only the front panel power switch affects operation in the following modes. Once transceiver power is turned off by the power or ignition switch or turnoff delay, the horn alert is no longer functional.

Mode A-1 (Automatic Off/Manual On)

Option Switch and Menu Mode Control

The HORN option switch or Menu Mode “HORN/LIGHT” parameter (see Section 3.5.12) can be used to change the current condition. However, the automatic operation described in the preceding modes overrides an on or off condition that may have been selected by the switch or menu parameter.

Permanently Enabling Horn Alert

The profile programming for the horn alert in the Menu screen (see next section) is in effect only until the first time it is manually or automati cally change d. If neither an option switch or menu parameter is programmed and the default is set to “disabled”, operation is as follows:

Mode A1 - If the ignition switch controls power, this mode cannot be used because the horn alert automatically turns off the first time the ignition switch is turned on and there is then no way to turn it back on. If the ignition switch does not control power, the horn alert is always enabled when transceiver power is on.

Mode A2 - If the horn alert is to be always enabled when transceiver power is on, this mode could be used.

Mode B - This mode could be used if the ignition switch controls power. The horn alert is then always disabled when the ignition switch is on and enabled during the turn-off delay. However, if the ignition switch does not control power, it cannot be used because the horn alert turns off the first time power is turned on and there is no way to turn it back on.

3.6.5 PROFILE

When programming the menu described in Section 3.5, a default setting for most items can also be selected. This default setting can establish the power-on profile of the transceiver. For example, the backlight could be on when power is turned on.

However, i f an item can be chang ed by the user in the Menu Mode or by an option switch, it returns to the condition that was last selected by the user. Therefore, the default se tting is fixed only if the paramet er is not controlled by the M enu Mode or an option switch. The functions that can be programmed in the profile are as follows. If a function is not programmable, it returns to the last selected state or the state it was in when power was turned off.

3.6.6 BANKS

Banks of systems can be programmed to allow the transceiver to operate with different radio personalities. For example, one bank could be programmed for operation in Chicago and another for operation in St. Louis. Each bank can contain any of the systems that have been programmed, and they can be numbered differently. Only the systems in the currently selected bank can be selected or scanned.

3-14

Revised February 1997

Part No. 001-9750-005

OPERATION

T o in itiate changing from on e bank t o another, the BANK option switch or Menu mode “BANK SELCT” parameter is used. The Select switch is then turned to move to the desired bank and pressed to select that bank. The current bank is identified by the unique identification which temporarily appears in the alphanumeric display when the switch is pressed or the menu parameter selected. For example, “CHICAGO” and “ST LOUIS” could be displayed to identify the banks used for those cities.

Each bank can be programmed so that either the last selected or home system/group is displayed when the bank is sele cted o r po wer is turne d on. To have this feature, transceiver software Version 216 or later and programming software Version 205 or later are required. With earlier versions, the last selected system/group is always displayed.

3.6.7 POWER TURN-OFF DELAY

The transceiver can be programmed so that the vehicle ignition switch as well as the f ront-panel power switch controls transceiver power. With transceiver operating software Version 205 or earlier (see Appendix A), turn-of f dela ys of Immedia te, 10, 20, 3 0, 60, 120, or 240 minutes or Forever (n o turn o f f) can be programmed. With Version 206 or later, delays of Immediate, 10 or 30 minutes, 1, 8, 10, or 12 hours or Forever can be programmed. The del ay can be canceled at any time by turning power off using the front-panel switch or turning the ignition switch back on.

A delay allows featur es such as the horn alert and call indicator to remain active for the programmed delay time after the ignition switch is turned off. At the same time, advantages of ignition switch control can be utilized such as preventing battery discharge that may result if the transc eiver is acc identally left on.

3.6.8 EMERGENCY CALLS

Introduction

The general operation of Emergency Calls is described in Section 5.8.11. The two basic operating modes of the emergency switch are Manual Transmit and Automatic Transmit. Multi- Net systems can be programmed for either type; LTR and conventional systems can be programmed for the manual type only.

When the Emergency switch is pressed, “EMERGENCY” and the group identification are alternately displayed (unless the display of this message has been disabled by programming). The transceiver then looks at the emergency call information programmed in the currently selected system (or revert system if system scanning). If there is no emergen cy inf ormat i on programmed in that system, it looks at the default emergency information programmed for that bank. It then switches to the specified emergency system/ group. Operation from this point is controlled by Manual/Automatic programming. Operation in those modes is as follows:

Manual Transmit

Automatic transmissions do not occur in the manual mode. However, this mode minimizes, as much as possible, the chance that the system will be busy when a call is placed. The transceiver locks on the emergency system/group (other system/groups cannot be selected), scanning is disabled, and all transmissions occur at acces s prio rity 1 (exce pt on LTR and conventional systems which do not use access priority). The only calls received are those occurring on the emerg ency s yst em/group or “all calls”. Calls on the selectable, fixed priority, and block ID codes of that system are not received.

Other mobiles may also join in the conversation, either by selecting the emergency mode or selecting that system/group. In this case, all rules of normal transmission and reception apply. To exit the emergency mode and resume normal transceiver operation after the emergency call is completed, transceiver power is turned off and then on again.

The EMER (emergency) option switch is used to manually or automatically place a high-priority call. When this swi tch is programmed, it is the switch on the left side of the display because th at switch is designed to make it less likely to be pressed accidentally. An external switch , such as a foot-actuated type, can also be used (see Section 2.4.6).

Automatic Transmit

When the Emergency switch is activated with Automatic Transmit programmed, system and group selection and s cannin g a re di sable d and the t ransc eiver begins automatically transmittin g the Emerge ncy Alert call. This call is transmitted on the programmed emer-

3-15

Part No. 001-9750-005

OPERATION

gency system/group every 10 seconds using access priority 1.

When the emergency call is received by the dispatcher, a warning tone sounds and the mobile's unique ID and other information is displayed on the console. The dispatc her the n ac knowledges the call by transmitti ng an Emergency Answer call. When th is call is detected by the mobile, it halts automatic transmissions. However, system and group selection and scanning remain disabled until the emergency call sequence ends. In addition, any further transmissions occur at the access priority programmed for the group selected by the emergency switch.

The emergency call sequence ends and normal transceiver operation resumes when the dispatcher transmits an Emergency Termination call or transceiver power is turned off and then on again. If the push-to-talk switch is pressed before the Emergency Acknowledge call is received, the Emergency Alert transmissions continue only until the push-to-talk switch is released.

3.6.9 PROGRAMMABLE POWER OUTPUT

One of five power output levels can be programmed for each Multi-Net, LTR, and conventional system. The actual power output at each level is set in the test mode (see Section 3. 11). F or example, the power output could be programmed as follows:

If temperature continues to increase at the 2-watt level to the point where more serious damage could occur (this should seldom happen), the transmitter is disabled, a warning ton e sounds, an d “NO POWER” is displayed. The transmitter remains disabled until temperature decreases to the first temperature limit. Power output is then produced at the 2-watt level. The temperature limits ar e fixed in hardware.

3.6.11 DATA SYSTEM/GROUPS

When digital equipment such as a mobile data terminal is connecte d to the trans ceiver , the tra nsceiver can be programmed so that data transmissions occur on a data system/group. Data transmissions can be enabled or disabled on each Multi-Net, LTR, and conventional group by programming.

If the selected system/group is not programmed for data transmissions, the first data group in the current system is selected. If there is no data group programmed in the current system, the bank data system/group is selected. If there is no data system/ group programmed in the current bank, “NO DAT GRP” is displayed, an error tone sounds, and the orig inal system/group continues to be displayed. Data transmissions are initiated by a signal on pin 1 of Universal Interface connector J601.

3.6.12 ENCRYPTION

1 = Rated Power 2 = 25 watts 3 = 20 watts 4 = 15 watts 2W = 2 watts

3.6.10 AUTOMATIC TRANSMITTER THER MAL FOLDBACK

The temperature of the power amplifier is monitored by the control logic when transmitting. If a temperature is detected that could damage the power amplifier module or other devices, power is automatically cut back to the 2-watt level (no message is displayed). After sufficient cooling occurs, power output returns to the full output level. This provides hysteresis so that power is not cut back again after only a short transmission.

NOTE: Encryption is not compatible with companding; therefore, those features cannot be used together.

As described in Section 1.5, voice encryption provides protection from casual eavesdropping and analog scanners. Each Multi-Net, LTR, or conventional group can be individually programmed by the system operator for encryption. Then when one of those groups is selected, encryption is automatically enabled or disabled.

Encryption can also be m anually enabled or disabled by the ENCPT option switch or the Menu Mode “ENCRYPTION” parameter. This allows the user to override the group encryption programming if desired. Selecting another system or group causes this feature to revert to the dealer programmed state for that group. When encryp tion is en abled on the s elected

group (by dealer programming or the user), the circle/ triangle symbol shown in Figure 3-3 is displayed.

If the transceiver has Version 206 or earlier software (see Appendix A), encrypti on must be ena bled to transmit or receive an encrypted call. With Version 207 or later software, the transceiver can be programmed so that encrypted calls are received even if encryption is not enabled (encryption must be enabled only to transmit an encrypted call). To have this operation, the encryption parameter on the “Main Radio Parameters” sc reen must be programmed “Yes”. The outputs which control encryption are J601, pin 15 of the universal interface cable and wire-out 7 (Output A).

3.6.13 PHONE MODE

NOTE: The phone mode is available in transceivers which have Version 203 or later software (see Appendix A).

The Phone Mode is selected by the PHONE option key or the Menu Mode “TELEPHONE” parameter. This mode makes placing telephone calls more convenient by displaying systems and groups programmed for RIC telephone calls. It also can be used to recall and dial prestored telephone numbers. Only RIC-type calls can be placed using this mode.

When the select switch is turned in the Phone Mode, Multi-Net and LTR system/groups and conventional systems in the current bank that are programmed for RIC calls are displ ayed. RIC call s can be pl aced on conventional systems with this transceiver if the repeater being accessed is equipped for RIC calls.

Up to ten 29-digit telephone numbers can be prestored by system operator programming. These numbers can then be recalled and dialed by the user without the need for a DTMF microphone. This limits calls to only the prestored numbers if desired. Calls can also be placed to other numbers using a DTMF microphone.

The identification could include, for example, up to ten digits of the number being dialed or the name of the person or place being called.

To use the Phone Mode, proceed as follows:

a. Press the PHONE switch or select the TELE-

PHONE menu parameter . This displays the firs t RIC system/group in the current bank. If none are programmed, “NO RIC” is displayed. The status display indicates “PH” until a system/group is se lected.

b. To scroll through the available telephone system/

groups, turn the Select switch. RIC system/groups are indicated by the handset symbol in the display. When the desired sys tem/ group is displaye d, select it by pressing the Select switch.

c. The alphanumeric display then indicate s “SELECT

NBR”. If you wish to manually dial the telephone number using a DTMF microphone, momentarily press the PTT switch to obtain a dial tone and then dial the number using a DTMF keypad. Proceed to step g.

d. If you wish to recall a prestored number, rotate the

Select switch to scroll through the programmed numbers. The unique identification programmed with each number is indicated in the alphanumeric display.

e. When the desired number is displayed, select that

number by pressing the Select switch.

f. To transmit the displayed number, momentarily

press the PTT switch to obtain a dial tone and then momentarily press it again to transmit the number.

g. T o ter minate the call by sendi ng the # charact er and

exit the Phone Mode, pr ess the PHONE swi tch or if using the Menu Mode, press the MENU switch. The transceiver then returns to the system/group that was selected before the Phone Mode was entered.

A unique identification of up to ten characters is stored with each number. This identification is then displayed when the number is recalled (the actual telephone number that is transmitted is not displayed).

There is als o a 10-second timer that is active in the phone mode until the number is transmitted. If no activity is detected for 10 seconds, the Phone Mode is automatically exit ed.

3.7.1 BUSY QUEUING (MULTI-NET)

Introduction

Busy queuing places the call in a queue if the system is busy when the PTT switch is pressed. Then, when the system becomes ava il abl e, t he user is alerted by a tone and the call can be placed if desired. An available system is de termined in the normal manner by the access priority of the selected group and the current access priority being transmitted by the repeater (see Section 5.8.2).

access is completed. When the access is successful, a beep (standard and auxiliary calls) or a dial tone (telephone calls) sounds and the call can then be placed in the normal manner.

When auto-regis tration is active (se e next secti on) and the transceiver software is Version 206 or later (see Section 3.6.14), the queue status is maintained even if registr at io n on another site occurs. W i th ear lier versions of software, the queue is suspended if this occurs.

When the access is successf ully compl eted by the transceiver as described, the repeater hangtime indicator is set. This holds the repeater for the length of the hangtime programmed b y the Syst em Management Module. If no call is made by the user during this hangtime, the queue mode is exited and the tr ansce iver returns to normal operation.

Exiting The Queue Mode

When the queue mode is exited, “IN QUEUE” is no longer displayed. This mode can be exited at any time by momentarily pressing the PTT switch (except if responding to a call on another group). It is also exited if any of the following occur.

• A call is received on the selected group

• Any of the front panel switches are changed or the

PTT switch is pressed while no call is being received

Busy queuin g is a system parameter, so it is enabled or disabled on each Multi-Net system. It functions with both standard and special calls on Multi-Net systems only. The queue mode is entered automatically when the PTT switch is released with the busy tone sounding. The busy tone then stops sounding and “IN QUEUE” is displayed in the alphanumeric display.

When the system becomes available, the trans ceiver waits a random time and accesses the repeater. This random delay minimizes the chance of collisions with other mobiles in queue. If an access attempt is unsuccessful, another access is attempted after a random time delay. This continues until a successful

• A Reassign Select command is received

Receiving Calls In The Queue Mode

While in the queue mode, calls are received normally. In addition, if group scanning is programmed on the selected system, calls are rece ived on the other selectable groups. However, since system scanning is temporaril y disabled , calls are not receiv ed on other programmed systems. If a call is received while in queue, the user can respond to the call in the usual manner and then normal queuing of a call resumes shortly a ft er the call is finished. The length of the delay before queuing resumes is set by the receive scan delay timer.

OPERATION

3.7.2 AUTO-REGISTRATION (MULTI-NET)

Introduction

Auto-registration is also described briefly in Section 5.8.12. This feature permits telephone and unique ID calls to be automatically routed to the site in which a mobile is operat ing. Standard calls can also be routed if the Site Tracking Module (STM) in the RNT is configured appropriately. To utilize auto-registration, it must be enabled by system operator programming and system scanning must be enabled by the SCAN switch. In addition, it must be enabled by the Menu Mode “MN AUTOREG” parameter if it can be selected.

Auto-registration effectively controls the revert (selected) system when scanning (refer to Section

3.4.4). Therefore, auto-registration can be used with the “Last Selected” and “Temporary” modes but not “Last Received”.

Upon entering the scan mode or if the s ignal from the currently registered site is weak , the transce iver begins checking all programmed status channels to locate one with suitable signal strength. When one is located, a registration message is sent to the repeater. The repeater then forwa rds the information to the RNT. The location of the mobile is then known and when a call to that mobile is placed, it is automaticall y routed to the correct site.

When the mobile is searching for a site on which to register, “AUTO REG” and the scan message are alternately displayed. If a user wants to maintain communication on a site regardless of signal strength, auto-registration or scanning can be turned off. This permits communication with a group in marginal signal conditions.

Revert System/Group After Registration

After registration occurs, “AUTO REG” is no longer displayed and the revert system is the next higher system with a different site number that could be accessed (wrap-around occurs after the highest system is checked). For example, if System 3 was selected and System 5 is the next system with a different site number, that system becom es the revert system if it can be accessed.

Revert group selection is determined by the programming of the bank “Wide Area Group Tracking” parameter. If this parame ter is programmed “Yes”, the revert group does not change (it is t he same as it was before registration on the new site occurred). If this parameter is “No”, the revert grou p is the group that was displayed when that sys tem was la st sel ect ed. Refer to Section 4.4.6 for more information on proper wide area group tracking programming.

NOTE: The preceding “Wide Area Group Tracking” parameter is available only if the transceiver has software Version 206 or later (see Appendix A). With earlier versions, the “No” condition is always selected.

Scanning With Auto-Registrati on

Auto-registration functions with both single- and multiple-site scan (see Section 3.4.2) and scanning continues in the normal manner. However, if LTR or conventional systems are scanned in addition to MultiNet systems, registration occurs only on Multi-Net systems.

Scan Dropout Criteria

The point at which registration on another site occurs is controlled by the percentage of good data messages that must be received over a 10-second period to stay on the current site. With this transceiver, this percentage can be programmed for 50-100% on each Multi-Net site. The default is 75% (33 good messages out of 44). The higher the percentage, the sooner auto-registration occurs.

Wide Area Coverage Enhancements

With software Version 206 or later, the following enhancements have been made to provide better wide area coverage. The pr ogramming of the bank “Wide Area Group Tracking” parameter does not affect these features. (That parameter controls only the revert group that is selected after registration occurs.)

• The transceiver registers on a site even when not

actively scanning (such as when the microphone is off-hook). Other requirements are that the singlesite type of scanni ng mu st be selec ted a nd scan ning must be enabled by the Scan switch.

OPERATION

• The transceiver can exit a site while re ceiving a call,

• A call can be received on a new site before

registration occurs.

3.7.3 TRANSMITTING STATUS INFORMATION (MULTI-NET)

Status messages can be transmitted whenever the PTT switch is pressed with a Multi-Net system selected. The Menu Mode “ STATUS” parameter or the STAT option switch is used to display or change the current status condition that is transmitted (see Section

3.5.22). When the status select mode is enabled using either of these methods, the current status condition is momentarily indicated in the alphanumeric display. The Select switch is then rotated to cycle through the available choices and pressed to select the desired choice.

For example, status conditions such as “AT SITE”, “LEVNG SITE”, or “UNLOADING” can be programmed. The status condi tion is th en displaye d on the dispatcher's console along with the mobile's ID number whenever the transmitter is keyed. The transmission of status messages is also described briefly in Section 5.8.14.

Auxiliary - These calls allow a mobile to communicate with any individual mobile or a group of mobiles at the same site or another Multi-Ne t site (when several Multi-Net systems form a network). Calls to specific mobiles are called Unique ID calls, and calls to groups are called Directed Group calls. Directed Group calls allow communication with groups tha t are otherwise not accessible because no selectable system has been programmed with the home repeat er or group ID of those mobiles. Directe d Group calls can be made to any home repeater on any group ID from 1-225.

Transceiver Programming For Special Calls

To originate a special call, the transceiver must have one of its selecta ble gro up posit ions pr ogrammed for the special call being made (Interconnect or Auxiliary) as shown in the following chart. ID code 236 programs Auxiliary calls and ID code 237 programs Interconnect calls. This chart also shows which ID must be programmed to hear a response or receive a special call. These IDs may be fixed or selectable as described in Section 3.3.4.

Originating Mobile Receiving Mobile

3.7.4 SPECIAL CALLS (MULTI-NET)

Introduction

Special calls use the special call group ID codes from 226-254 as described in Section 5.7. The special calls usually originated by a mobile are Interconnect and Auxiliary calls. Most other special calls such as Interrogate, Mobile Disable, and Reassignment are originated by the system operator o r a dispatcher. The mobile-originate calls are described in the following information and the oth er sp ecia l call s are d esc ribed in Section 5.

Mobile-Originate Special Calls

Interconnect - These are telephone calls to or from a mobile made through the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).

NOTE: Auxiliary Calls = ID Code 236; Interconnect (Telephone) Calls = ID Code 237

NOTE: Even if ID codes 236 and 237 are selectable codes, they are treated like fixed codes when calls are received. Therefore, calls on those codes are received regardless of which group is selected or group scan programming (as long as the system is selected or scanned). Refer to Section 3.3.4 for more information.

It can be seen from the chart that with special Directed Group calls, the auxiliary ID is enco ded to place the call, and t he sp ecif ied gr oup ID is dec oded to receive the cal l. Thi s is b ecause the c all i s con ver ted t o a standard group call by the RNT. In addition, when a landside call is made to a specific mobile, it is always classified as an interconnect call even though the unique ID of the mobile may be specified (refer to “Landside-Originate Special Calls” which follows).

OPERATION

Special Call Authorization

When a mobile is programmed to make Interconnect calls, system authorization is needed before service is ava ilable. Thi s author ization is perf ormed by the system operator using the System Management Module of the RNT. This authorization also determines what type of service is available. For example, a mobile may be authorized to dial local numbers only. This authorization is keyed to the mobile's unique ID which is transmitted wh en any call is made.

With all Auxiliary calls, no special authorization is required. All that is needed is proper programming of the mobiles originating and receiving the call. Therefore, a Unique ID c all can be ma de to any mobi le in the same site or some other site that is programmed for Auxiliary calls. The same applies to Directed Group calls except that the mobile receiving the call does not need to be programmed for Auxiliary calls, just the standard group ID being transmitted.

Placing a Special Call

The procedure for placing a special call is as follows.

a. Select the group programmed for Interconnect or

Auxiliary calls, whi c hever is to be made.

Directed Group Call (Current Site)

2-digit home repeater number + 3-digit group ID

Directed Group Call (Directed Site)

3-digit site number + 2-digit home repeater number + 3-digit group ID

e. Release the PTT switch if it was pressed to dial the

number. A beep should then sound which indicates that the number was accepted b y the sy ste m . If th is beep does not sound, an unauthorized number may have been dialed or a dial ing mistake may have been made.

f. Interconnect Call - The normal landsid e ringing or

busy tone is then heard. After the party answers, press the PTT switch and respond.

Unique ID Call - A “ringing” tone is heard which indicates that the mob ile is being r ung. If there is no answer , t he ringing stops after several rings and the call is automat ically terminated by t he system. When the party answers, press the P TT switch and respond.

Directed Group Call - A second beep sounds which indic ates that the p ath to the mobile is complete and speaking ca n begin (n o ringi ng of the other mobile occurs).

b. Momentarily press t he PTT switch until the pr oceed

tone sounds. A dial tone should be returned.

c. If an Interconnect call is being made, dial the tele-

phone number of the landside party you are calling.

d. If an Auxiliary call is be ing made, dia l the 4- 8 digit

number which specifies the destination of the call. The digits dialed for e ach type of call are as follows :

Unique ID Call (Current Site)

4-digit unique ID of mobile/dispatcher

Unique ID Call (Directed Site)

3-digit site ID +

4-digit unique ID of mobile/dispatcher

NOTE: It is not possible to talk and listen at the same time because this transcei ver operat es hal fduplex.

g. When the call is finished, terminate it by pressing

the # key . Three rapid beeps indi cate that the call has been terminated.

Receiving Special Calls

When an Interconnect or Unique ID call is received, “ringing ” is heard from the speaker . The call is then answered in the no rmal manne r. If it is a Directed Group call, only the voice of the calling party is heard because no ringing occ urs. The originating party usually terminates the call when it is finished . If the thr ee beeps which indicate that the call has terminated are not heard, press the # key to terminate the call.

OPERATION

Landside-Originate Special Calls

Calls can be also be made from any landside telephone to specific mobiles (Interconnect calls) or groups (Directed Group calls). Calls can also be placed to other sites in a manner similar to when they are mobile dialed.

If the system has DID lines, the landside caller can dial a mobile directly because each mobile that can receive these calls is given its own phone number. If the system has standard trunk lines, the telephone number of the system is dialed. Then when the system answers, a short tone sounds to indicate that the digits specifying the destination of the call should be dialed. The same digits are dialed as when the call is mobile originated as described in “Placing a Special Call”. The landside telephone must generate DTMF tones to dial these digits.

After these digits are dialed, a beep is heard which indicates that the number was accepted by the system. Ringing then i ndicat es th at th e mobile is b ein g rung unless it is a Directed Group call. With those calls, no ringing of the mobile occu rs and anoth er beep is heard which indicates the path is complete and speaking should begin.

After the mobile answers, the landside party should respond in the normal manner. Remember that the mobile is operati ng half dup lex and cannot hear the landside party while transmitting. When the call is finished, it should be te rminated by one of the parties by pressing the # key. Three beeps indicate that the call has terminated.

3.7.5 TRANSMIT INHIBIT

This feature prevents the transmitter from keying if the party being called is busy with another call. To enable this feature, the transceive r is programmed with a block of transmit inhibit ID codes tha t can incl ude up to all 225 standard I D codes with Multi-Net operation, or up to all 250 ID codes with LTR operation. If a code within this block has been detected up to 5 seconds before the PTT switch is pressed, the transmitter does not key, the intercept tone sounds, and “TX INHIBIT” is indicated in the alphanumeric display.

To make another call attem pt, the PTT switch must be released and then pressed again. However, it is a good idea to wait a few seconds because the 5second timer does not count down while the PTT switch is pressed. It is not poss ible to complete the call by keeping the PTT switch pressed with the intercept tone sounding.

One use of this feature is to prevent the accidental interruption of a call in progress. This could happen when the other transmitting party unkeys or if an ID code with a higher priority is transmitted. Another use of this feature could be to provide an audible indication that the party being called is busy. This feature is available only on Multi-Net and LTR systems. A similar Transmit Disable On Busy feature is availabl e on conventional systems.

3.7.6 ACCESS PRIORITY (MULTI-NET)

Refer to Section 5.8.2.

3.7.7 CAMP-ON PREVENT

This feature prevents a user from “camping on” a channel by continuously pressing the PTT switch while a message is being received. When the CampOn Prevent feature is progr ammed and the user press es the PTT switch while a message is being received , the transmitte r is disable d, “TX DIS BS Y” is displayed, and the dial tone sounds until the PTT switch is released. Therefor e, acce sses can be a ttempted only by pressing the PTT switch during quiet times.

This feature is available only when placing MultiNet standard (mobile-to-mobile) calls. In addition, the selected encode ID must be the same as the ID on which the call is being received. It is not available with Multi-Net special calls or any type of LTR or conventional call. In addition, transceiver software, Version 223 or later and programming software, Version 207 or later, must are required.

When this feature is not used and the P TT switch is pressed while a messa ge is being receive d, the message continues to be received normally and access is automatically attempted as soon as the message is complete. If a large number of mobiles do this during busy p eriods, collisions may occur and the “camping” mobiles may have a better chance getting a free channel.

3.8 LTR MODE FEATURES

3.8.1 FREE SYSTEM RINGBACK

If a busy condition exists when making an LTR telephone call, the Free System Ringback feat ure automatically signals when th e sys tem is no lo nger busy. If the busy tone sounds and “SYSTEM BSY” is displayed when the PTT switch is pressed, this feature is automatically selected when the PTT switch is released. A confirmation tone then sounds and “RINGBACK” is indicated in the alphanumeric display.

When a RIC-equipped repeater becomes available, a ringing tone sounds followed by a dial tone when the handshake is completed. The call should then go through if it is tried again. This mode can be canceled at any time by activating any user control. If scanning is enabl ed, i t continues in the normal manner when the Free System Ringback mode is exited. No special programmi ng is requi red to ena ble thi s featu re, and it functions on LTR telephone calls only. RICequipped repeaters must be specified as described in Section 4.4.5 for proper operation of this feature.

3.8.2 SYSTEM SEARCH

and a dial tone sounds. If the number is not dialed within a few seconds, normal operation resumes. This mode can be canceled at any time by activating any user control.

3.8.3 TRANSPOND

Each of the selectable ID codes of an LTR system can be programmed for transpond. This feature allows the person making a call to determine if the mobile being called is in service. If a call is received on an ID code programmed for transpond, the transceiver waits until the originating transceiver unkeys. It then automatically transmits two data mes sages wi th the second containing the turn-off code. This causes the transceiver originating the call to briefly unsquelch. If the originating transceiver has a call indicator, it will also turn on if the ID code has been programmed for a call indicator. Transpond is not avai lable on the fixed priority and block IDs.

3.8.4 TRANSMIT INHIBIT

The LTR Transmit Inhibit feature operates the same as the Multi-Net Transmit Inhibit feature described in Section 3.7.5.

If an out-of-range condition exists when attempting an LTR telephone call, this feature automatically searches for a system within range. The system search feature is available only with LTR telephone calls and only if it has been enabled by dealer programming or the user w ith the Menu mode “LTR SYSTEM SEARCH” parameter (see Section 3.5.13). If this feature is enabled and the intercept tone so unds when the PTT switch is pressed, it is automatically selected when the PTT switch is released. A confirmation tone sounds and “SYS SEARCH” is indicated in the display.

The transceiver then attempts to access, in succession, other systems that have a RIC ID programmed in any group position. As each system is searched, a beep sounds. Each system is accessed only once. If no system could be accessed, the intercept tone sounds, “NO RIC FND” is displayed, the feature deactivates, and the system/group does not change. If a system is accessed, the new system/group is selected

3.9 CONVENTIONAL MODE FEATURES

3.9.1 TRANSMIT DISABLE ON BUSY

This feature di sables t he trans mitte r if th e chan nel is busy (carrier present) when the PTT switch is pressed. W hen the trans mitter is disabled by this feature, the busy tone sounds and “TX DIS BSY” is indicated in th e alphanumer ic disp lay. It is not possible to access a channel by holding down the PTT switch until the channel is no longer busy. If this feature is disabled, the transmit ter can be keyed even if the channel is busy.

This feature can be enabled or disabled on each conventional group by dealer programming. Some repeaters may have delayed drop-out (hang time) which would cause this feature to disable the transmitter even if no busy condition exists. To key the transmitter in this situat ion, re lease t he PTT switch and press it again within 1 second.

OPERATION

3.9.2 CALL GUARD SQUELCH

Tone (CTCSS), digital, or inverted digital Call Guard squelch can be programmed on each conventional transmit and receive group in any order desired. A tone Call Guard reverse burst and dig ital Call Guar d turn-off code can al so be programmed to eliminate the squelch tail (noise burst) in the receiving transceiver when the P TT s witch is rele ased. The r everse bur st and turn-off code are always detected by this transceiver on receive groups programmed with Call Guard squelch.

The Call Guard squelch feature eliminates distracting messages intended for others using the channel. This is done by using a subaudible tone or digital code to contr ol t he sque lch. Thi s ton e o r code is unique to an individual user or user group on that channel. This tone or co de is transmitted with th e voice signal, but is not heard because it is in the subaudible range and is attenuated by a filter. Call Guard squelch must be used in both the transmitting and receiving transceiver to be functional.

Tone-type Call Guard squelch utilizes subaudible tones from 67-250.3 Hz. Although there are 38 tones assigned, the top five are n ormally not us ed bec ause of their close proximity to the voice band which starts at 300 Hz. A reverse burst can be transmitted when the push-to-talk swit ch is releas ed to eliminat e the squelch tail (noise burst) in the receiving transceiver. The reverse burst is a 180-degree phase reversal for a length of time determined by the tone frequency.

Digital Call Guard sque lch uses digital data instead of subaudi ble tones to cont rol the squelch. This data consists of co ntinuous r epetitions o f 23-bit wor ds. No bit or word synchronization information is used. When the push-to-talk switch is released, a turn-off code can be transmitted. This eliminates the squelch tail similar to the reverse burst with tone-type Call Guard squelch.

Although there are thousands of possible code combinations with 23 bits, only 83 are unique with the data scheme used. The number specified when the code is programmed is a ctually a seed for a special algorithm used to generate the 23-bit data word. The data is transmitted at a rate of 134.4 bits per second. Therefore, approximately six words are transmitted

each second. When the da ta is deco ded, 23-bit samples are taken and then the bit s ar e r o ta te d to determine if a valid code was received.

Digital Call Guard squelch c an be programmed as normal or inverted. The only difference is that the wave-form is inverted when “IDCG” is selected. The inverted type may need t o be prog rammed if the si gnal is inverted by the repeater or another transceiver. If standard noninverted digital Call Guard squelch does not function, try changing to the other type.

3.9.3 MONITOR MODE

The monitor mode allows all activity on a channel to be monitored when Call Guard squelch or other types of decoders ar e used to cont rol the squ elch. The monitor mode disables these features so that all messages on the channel are heard. To select the monitor mode, take the microphone off-hook or press the MON option switch if available. The monitor mode is indicated by “MON” in the display.

If off-hook detection has been disabled by programming, the MON switch must always be used to select the moni tor mode or the Transmit Di sab le On Busy feature should be programmed. If scanning is occurring, the MON switch is not detected and monitoring is enabled only by taking the microphone offhook if the selected (revert) system is a conventional system (and off-hook detection has not been disabled).

Call Guard squelch can al so be disabled on the selected system/gr oup by the Call Guard option switch if available (see Section 3.5.7). This switch disables both transmit and receive Call Guard signaling, while the monitor mode disables only receive Call Guard signaling.

3.9.4 REPEATER TALK-AROUND

Normally , al l transmis sions go thr ough a repeater. However, there may be times when the user is out of range of the repeater system and is unable to talk to anyone even though the mobile being called is a short distance away. In this situation, the repeater talkaround feature can be used to transmit on the receive frequency so that transmissions do not have to go through a repeater. Any conventional group can be programmed for talk-around (unless it has been

OPERATION

disabled at the system level). Talk-around is then enabled by simply selecting one of those groups. The unique identification c an be used to i dentify which groups are programmed with this feature.

If talk-around has not been disabled on the system by system operator programming, the Menu Mode “TALKAROUND” parameter or the TA option switch (see Section 3.5) can be used to turn talkaround on and off. In the Menu mode, talk-around is enabled when “ON” is indicated in the status display. With an op tion swi tch, a t rian gle is i ndica ted unde r t he switch if it is ena bl ed by the switch or programmed on the selected system/group. If the switch is pressed with talk-around disabled, “NO TALK” is displayed. Changing the selected system or group causes the programmed default talk-around condition to be selected.

3.9.5 PRIORITY GROUP SAMPLING

Priority group s am pl in g ensures that messages on conventional priority groups are not missed while listening to messages on other conventional groups. Both a first and second priority group can be designated in each bank by system operator programming. When a message is received on a priority 1 group, “P1” is indicated in the status display, and when a message is received on a priority 2 group, “P2” is indicated.

Priority group sa mpling o ccurs o nly when syst em scanning is enabled. In addition, it must be the “Multiple-Site” type as describ ed in Section 3.4. 2. The first priori ty system/gr oup is sampl ed while listening to a message on the second priority group but not vice versa. The transceiver can be programmed so that the first priority group is sampled every 0.5, 1, or 2 seconds or not at all if “Di sable d” is pro grammed. The second priority group is always sampled every 2 seconds. When a first prior ity system/gro up is sampled while listening to a message on some other system/ group, a series of “ticks” are heard. These ticks are brief interruptions of the audio signal that occur when sampling takes place.

This feature is available only on conventional systems. In addition, sampling does not occur while listening to a Multi-Net o r LTR call or when tr ansmitting any type of call. Call Guard squelch is not

detected on the first priority group but is detected on the second priority group if is programmed. If the PRI option switch or the Menu mode “PRIORITY” parameter is available (see Secti on 3. 5.17), pr iori ty sampl ing can be turned on and off.

3.9.6 RECEIVE-ONLY GROUPS

Conventional groups can be programmed so that transmitting is disabled (monitor only). This is done using the TX DIS parame ter on t he group sc reen. If the PTT switch is pressed with one of these groups selected, the intercept tone sounds and “TX DISABLE” is displayed.

3.10 MISCELLANEOUS

3.10.1 SUPERVISORY TONES

There are supervisory tones that are heard at various times when operating the tr ans cei ver. Some or all of these tones can be enabled and disabled by system operator programming or by the user if the Menu Mode “RADIO SNDS” parameter is enabled (see Section 3.5.18). These tones are as follows and they are heard in only the Multi-Net and LTR modes unless stated otherwise.

Busy Tone - This tone is similar to the standard telephone busy tone, and it indicates that the radio system is currently busy. It consists of combined 480 Hz and 620 Hz tones swit ched on and off at approximately a 2 Hz rate. It sounds with all types of Multi -Net and LTR calls and also when the Multi-Net Busy Queuing feature is used. “SYSTEM BSY” is also displayed when this tone sounds.

Intercept Tone - This is a siren- like to ne consis ti ng of 700 Hz and 900 Hz tones alternating at approximately a 2 Hz rate. This tone indicates the following out-ofrange or other error conditions:

• When this tone sounds 2-3 sec onds after pressing the

P TT switc h and “OUT-OF-RNG” is also displ ayed, the data handshake with the repeater could not be completed. The usua l cause of thi s is an out of r adio range condition. Twelve attempts are made on Multi-Net systems and six access attempts are made on LTR systems before this tone sounds. No more

OPERATION

access attempts are th en made until the push-to-talk switch is released and then pressed again.

• If this tone sounds after the transmitter has been

keyed for an extend ed time and the tr ansmitter turn s off and “TX TIMEOUT” is displayed, the transmitter has been disabl ed by the Time-Out Timer feature (see Section 3.6.1).

• If this tone sounds as soon as the push-to-talk switc h

is pressed with a conven tiona l chann el se lec ted an d “TX DIS BSY” is displ ayed, the channel i s busy and the transmitte r was disabled by t he Trans mit Disable On Busy feature (see Section 3.9.1). If “TX DISABLE” is displayed inst ead, a conventional receive-only chan nel is selected (see Sect ion 3.9.6).

• If the push-to-talk sw itch is presse d while r eceiving

an LTR call, this tone sound s and “TX DIS BSY” is displayed.

Proceed (Clear-To-Talk) Tone - Th is is a 20 milli second burst of the 700 Hz tone whic h sounds after the push-to-talk swit ch is pressed to indicat e wh en ta lking can begin (see Section 3.6.3).

Key Press Tone - This is a 30 millisecond burst of the 700 Hz tone that sounds to indicate when a key or the Select switch is pressed or turned.

MULTI-NET SPECIAL CALL TONES

NOTE: The following tones are produced by the MultiNet RNT and are heard only when placing special calls.

Confirmation Tone - A short tone which sounds when the number dialed is accepted by the system.

Call Proceed Tone - With Multi-Net Directed Group calls, ringing do es not occur after t he number is diale d. Instead, this short tone sounds after the confirmation tone to indicate that the audio path is complete and speaking can begin.

End Call Tone - Three beeps which sound when the end of the call has been detected by the system.

Proceed Dialing Tone - When placing a landsideoriginate call to a mobile, the caller may dial the

number of the system and then when the system answers, a number specifying th e mo bil e bei ng ca ll ed. This tone sounds to indicate when the number of the mobile should be entered.

LTR TELEPHONE CALL TONES

NOTE: The following tones are produced by the LTR RIC interconnect equipment and are heard only when placing LTR telephone calls.

Reorder Tone - Three beeps which indicate that the call has bee n terminated by the syst em.

Return Time W arn ing Tone - Two beeps which warn that you have not transmitted for an extended period. If you do not transmit within 5 seconds, the call is automatically terminated by the system. The time between transmissions is one of the parameters used by the system to detect the end of a call when the # character is not sent.

Conversation Time-Out Tone - Calls are limited to a certain length by the system. Thirty seconds before this time is reached, a “tick” begins sounding each second. When the 30-second time expires, the call is automatically terminated by the system.

Turn-Around Tone - This is a single beep which may be used to indicate to the landside party when to respond to your transm ission. It sounds when you release the PTT switch, and you may partially hear this tone.

Proceed Tone - This tone consists of two beeps and it tells the landside caller when to enter the five-digit number specifying the mobile being called. Dialing of this number must be started within 5 seconds of hearing this tone, and a tone-type telephone must be used.

3.10.2 DISPLAY MESSAGES

The following messages may appear in the tencharacter alphanumeric display.

ALL CALL - Indicates that the Multi-Net “All Call” special call is being received. This is a high priority call to all mobiles assigned to a site. If another call is being received, it is dropped to receive this call.

3.11 TEST MODE

3.11.1 INTRODUCTION

This transceiver has a test mode that is used to perform testing and al ignment. This mode is enabled by turning transceiver power on with the RxD and TxD lines of the microphone connector shor te d together (P2, pins 10 and 13). When the test mode is entered, the disp lay in dicat es “RX-TX- RSSI” which i s the first test function.

3.11.2 RECEIVE-TRANSMIT-RSSI

The RX-TX-RSSI function is used to align the transmitter and receiver and set the RSSI detect level. This is the only test function in which both the microphone audio and transmit dat a signals are enable d. The data signal generated is the 151.4 Hz tone Call Guard frequency. The receiver squelch is controlled by noise only.

If the transceiver has Version 207 or later software (see Appendix A), a total of 18 test channels, arranged as three banks of six channels each, can be selected (see list on next page). With earlier software, only the channels in Bank 0 can be selected. The test channels are fixed and cannot be reprogrammed using the programming software.

The TA PWR SET function is used to set the maximum power output for talk-around band. The procedure is the same as for standard channels described in Section 3.11.3 except that talk-around channels on each end of the band are selected.

3.11.5 POWER LEVELS 2, 3, 4, 2W

The PWR LEVELS function is used to set power levels 2, 3, 4, and 2W that can be selected for each system when programming the transceiver. These power levels apply to both standard and talk-around channels. Power level 1 is set by the PWR SET and TA PWR SET functions described in the preceding and following sections . When t his func tion i s sele cted, the data and microphone audio signals are disabled, and only channel 381 (800 MHz) or 240 (90 0 MHz) is selected.

(see Section 8). The 2W setting can also be in this range or 1-2 watts.

3.11.6 MODULATION BALANCE

The BAL ADJUST function is used to set modulation balance o ver the entire standard and talk-around frequency bands. This allows the microprocessor to compensate for any changes that occur across the band. This function generates a 67 Hz square wave that is applied to the modulation circuitry. The microphone audio signal and receiver are disabled.

To enable the balance adjust function, press the Select switch when BAL ADJUST is displayed. BAL ADJ 1 is then displayed which indicates the first channel. The demodulated signal is viewed on the CRT of a communications monitor and the Select switch is rotated with the PTT switch pressed to achieve the best square wave.

The balance for the other channels is set by pressing the Select switch to select the next channel and then repeating this adjust ment. BAL ADJ 1 - BAL ADJ 6 correspond to the si x channels listed in Section

TRANSCEIVER PROGRAMMING

With Summit DM and Viking® HT/GT transceivers, the switch on the RPI selects either the standard or Flash programming mode. The indicator is green when the standard mode is selected and red when the Flash mode is selected.

4.1.4 EEPROM DATA STORAGE

Information which changes from transceiver to transceiver is stored by EEPROM U406 on the audio/ logic board. This type of device stores data indefinitely without the need for a constant power supply. The transceiver can be removed from the vehicle or even stored on a shelf indefinitely without affecting programming. Since an EEPROM is al so reprogrammable, a new device is not needed if programming must be changed.

The operating pr ogram of t he trans ceiver i s store d by Flash memory U404 on the audio/logic board. If this program needs to be updated, reprogramming is performed using the same programming setup. However, special programming software is required. The procedure for reprogramming the Flash memory is located in Section 4.7.

Version 204 - Became available in early 1996. This version has an addi tional parameter on the “Mai n Radio Parameters” scree n for spe cifying t he horn al ert oper ating mode (see Section 3.6.4).

V ersion 205 - Became available mid 199 7. This version added an additional “Start At Home” parameter on the Create/Edit Bank screen (see Section 3.6.6).

Version 206 - Became available in late 2000. This version added an additi onal proceed tone delay time screen that is selectable by pressing the F6 key from a group programming screen (see Section 3.6.3).

This programming software is backward compatible which means it can also program all transceivers with early versions of software. However, added features are not available unless the transceiver software is also updated. The files generated by an earlier programming software version are automatically converted to a new format hen they are opened and then saved or downloaded. Once a file is converted to the new format, it cannot b e used by a n earl ier versi on. Refer to App endix A.4 for more information on software revisions.

4.1.5 SOFTWARE VERSION NUMBER

NOTE: All transceivers with operating software Version 206 or later (see Appendix A) must be programmed using Version 202 or later programming software. Failure to do so may result in erratic transceiver operation.

This section describes programming software Version 206 which became available in late 2000. The main features of this and earlier releases are as follows:

Version 202 - Had additi onal screens f or programmi ng the UD

I (universal in terfa ce) a nd has an add it ional parameter in the bank screen for programming “Wide Area Group T racking”. Refer to Appendix A.4 for more information.

Version 203 - Became avail ab le in January 1995. This version has an addit ion al ques ti on on the “Main Radio Parameters” screen for specifying if encryption is installed. See Section 3.6.12 for more information.

4.1.6 COMPUTERS RUNNING WINDOWS

The Summit DM programming software is a DOS program that is not designed to run in Windows. Therefore, if applicable, Windows must be exited and the progra m run in the DOS mode.

4.1.7 SOFTWARE INSTALLATION

When you receive the programming software, make a backup copy and store the master in a safe place. You may want to create a separate directory for programming. For example, to create a directory called RADIOPRG on drive C: using D OS, type C: (Enter) to make it the current directory if necessary. Then type MD \RADIOPRG (Enter). To change to that directory, type CD \RADIOPRG.

The programming software is shipped in a compressed format. The name of the compressed file is SUMMIT2. EXE and unpacks into two files called SUMMIT.EXE and DM_PGMR.HLP. These files are approximately 454K and 78K in size, respectively.

Revised December 2000

Part No. 001-9750-007

TRANSCEIVER PROGRAMMING

To unpack these files so that they can be used, first make sure that the current directory is destination directory for these files. For example, if hard drive C: is the destination, make it the current directory (if required) by typing C: (Enter). Then if using a subdirectory, type CD as just described. Then insert the program disk in the computer and type A:SUMMIT2 (or B:SUMMIT2 if drive B: is being used). The two program files are then a uto matica lly unpa cke d into t he current directory.

4.1.8 HARDWARE HOOKUP

The programming setup is shown in Figure 4-1. The cable from the RPI to the transcei ver is connected to the microphone jack of the transceiver with front mount models. With remote mount models, it can be connected to either the microphone jack of the control unit or the programming jack on the blank front panel of the transceive r.

4.4 ADDITIONAL PROGRAMMING INFORMATION

4.4.1 REPEATER NUMBER PROGRAMMING

(MULTI-NET AND LTR)

Each Multi-Net repeater site can have up to 30 repeaters, and each LTR repeater site can have up to 20 repeaters. The repeaters at the same site are assigned a unique number from 1-30 or 1-20. With Multi-Net systems, these numbers can be assigned arbitrarily as long as no two repeaters have the same number.

4-11

Revised December 2000

Part No. 001-9750-007

TRANSCEIVER PROGRAMMING

With LTR systems, they can also be assigned arbitrarily. However, for maximum system efficiency, a scheme should be used which equalizes, as much as possible, the gaps between numbers. For example, a five-repeater system should use numbers 1, 5, 9, 13, and 17. The number assigned to a repeater is programmed in the repeater, the mobiles assigned to that home repeater, and the System Management Module (Multi-Net only).

4.4.2 CHANNEL NUMBER PROGRAMMING

With LTR operation, the mobile transceiver is programmed with the channel number of eac h repeater it can access. With Multi-Net operation, this is not necessary because the mobile transceiver receives “go to” channel information over the air. The only channels that are pr ogrammed in Multi-Net systems are the home and status channels. This allows channels to be added to the system without reprogramming the mobiles.

Each Multi-Net system can be programmed with a different home repeater number if desired. However, systems with the same site number must be programmed with the same status channel number. Refer to Section 4.4.4 for more information on s ite numbers.

The channel numbers used to program this transceiver are listed at the end of this section. The channels used for programming channels 1-600 are the same as the FCC channel numbers. However, for channels above 600, a special programming channel number is used because some frequencies were skipped by the FCC scheme. A –12.5 kHz offset can be specified for chan nels 1-600 because th ey have a 25 kHz spacing. This offset does not apply to channels above 600 because they already have a 12.5 kHz spacing.

4.4.3 ACCESS PRIORITY PROGRAMMING

(MULTI-NET ONLY)

priority number being transmitted is greater than the priority number assigned to the ID code being transmitted, the system cannot be accessed at that time. There are various schemes that the repeater may use to determine the current system priority. Refer to the setup section of the repeater service manual for more information.

4.4.4 SITE NUMBER PROGRAMMING (MULTI-NET ONLY)

Each Multi-N et repeater site must be a ssigned a number from 1-255. A repeater site is defined as a group of repeaters which share the same high-speed data bus (refer to Section 5.6). The site number programmed in the mobile is used for controlling scanning. A site number is also transmitted in the form of DTMF tones when a special call is made by a mobile to a different site. The System Management Module uses the site information to route the call. Refer to Section 5.7 for more information on special calls.

If there is only one site that can be accessed by the mobiles, the site n umber of the re peater sy stem can be selected arbitrarily. Each selectable system of the mobile is then programmed with that site number. If there are several sites that can be accessed, each site must be assigned a unique number. Each selectable system of the mobile is then programmed with the number of the site that is accessed by that system.

4.4.5 SPECIFYING RIC-EQUIPPED

REPEATERS

When programming the channel numbers of LTR systems, you can specify if the repeater is equipped with an E.F. Johnson RIC (repeater interconnect) controller. If a system with a transmit ID code programmed for RIC is then selected, the transceiver will attempt to access only repeaters specified as equipped with repeat er interconnect. This allows both RIC and non-RIC repeaters to be programmed in each system.

Each Multi-Net encode (transmit) ID code is programmed with an access priority number from 1-5. As stated in Section 5.8.2, this access priority and the current system priority being transmitted by the repeater determi ne if t he system c an be acce ssed. If the

Without this feature, the transceiver may trunk to a repeater not equippe d with a RIC drawer when a RIC call is made. No dial tone or other supervision is then returned when the PTT switch is released which may be confusing to the user.

TRANSCEIVER PROGRAMMING

4.4.6 WIDE AREA GROUP TRACKING PROGRAMMING

When Wide Area Group Tracking is enabled with Multi-Net Au to-Registration (see Section 3.7.2), the same group remains selected when auto-registration on another system occurs. This allows a companion group to be automatically selected in the new system. For example, the transceiver can be programmed so that if a telephone group is selected and auto-registration occurs on a new system, a telephone group is also selected on the new system. Without wide area group tracking, the last selected group of the new system is selected.

With th is ty pe of opera tion, it is i mportant t hat th e same groups in all systems be programmed. If autoregistration occurs on a system that does not have the group programmed (ASN = No), the next higher programmed group is selected and displayed. The selected group then changes by one or more which is probably not the desired operation. This occurs because all groups that are higher in number ar e pulled down to fill the empt y position(s). Therefore, the group also changes when auto-registration occurs on that system with a group selected that is higher than the unprogrammed group.

4.5 PROGRAMMING ONE TRANSCEIVER WITH ANOTHER (CLONING)

One transceiver can be used to program another with identical information. One use of this type of programming may be to reprogr am a tran sceive r in t he field where a computer is not available. Transceivers of different types cannot be used. For example, do not use an 800 MHz model to program a 900 MHz model. Proceed as follows:

a. Turn the power of both transceivers off. Connect

Cloning Cable, Part No. 59 7-2002-268, between th e microphone connectors of the transceivers.

b. Turn the power of the master (source) transceiver

on. Then turn the power of the slave (destination) transceiver on.

c. Programming is indicated by “CLONING” in the

alphanumeric display and the rotating scanning indicators in the status display of both transceive rs. In addition, the system and group number are displayed by the master transceiver.

d. When programming is finished, the displays return

to normal.

4.6 WRITE-ON FLASH PROGRAMMING

Therefore, when programming wide area group

tracking, observe the following rules:

• Assign companion groups in s equence s tarting with

Group 1 and make sure that the same groups are programmed in each participating system.

• If groups are programmed that are not companions

with groups in other systems, program them above the companion range. Then do not leave one of those groups sel ected after usi ng it for a cal l because if auto-registration occurs, an unexpected group may be selected.

When the transceiver is programmed, the programming software does not allow the transceiver to be programmed if all programmed systems do not have the same number of programm ed groups. However, i t does not ch eck to make sur e th at t he same groups are programmed in each system.

4.6.1 INTRODUCTION

The E.F. Johnson Write-On flash programming

feature allows the transceiver operating software (firmware) to be update d without replacing the microcomputer or a memory device such as an EPROM.

This reprogramming of the operating software should not be confused with the programming of operating parameters described in the preceding sections. Although both program ming procedures use essentially the same programming setup, the software and procedures are diffe rent.

Currently, the Write-On flash programming software is available only by downloading it from the E.F . Johnson ACES

Bulletin Board System. To access this system, dial toll-free from the U.S. and Canada 800-227-3997 (N, 8, 1, ANSI). From other countries, dial 507-835-8607. If you do not know your login ID

c. Start the program by typing DM_LOAD (Enter) at

the DOS prompt. When the opening screen is displayed, turn transceiver power on . If power is already on, cycle power off and then on. The transceiver display should be blank and the RPI LED should be amber.

d. Highlight the fi rst selection in the loader program's

menu and then press the Enter key to beg in th e da ta transfer. Programming requires approximately 90 seconds.

e. Disconnect the programming cable from the trans-

ceiver and cycle power off and on. Verify that the new revision number is displayed momentarily when power is turned on (see Section 3.6.14).

4.7 UNIVERSAL INTERFACE PROGRAMMING

4.7.1 INTRODUCTION

NOTE: Before any Summit DM “A” revision letter transceiver and also “B” revision letter 9755 transceivers can be connected to the RPI module, pin 1 of power amplifier module U500 must be desoldered and lifted from the board.

If this is not done with these transceivers, the transmitter may erroneously key when the RPI switch is moved to the flash position. This may result in excessive current draw that could damage the antenna switching circuit ry. Diodes CR506 and CR507 and RF amplifier Q290 could be dest royed. Fuse F500 may also blow if the power supply can produce enough current. This problem has been corrected in later models, so this modification is not required.

4.6.4 PROGRAMMING PROCEDURE

a. Connect the programming hardware listed in setup

as described in Section 4.1.1. Only RPI, Part No.

The UD2I™ (Universal Digital and Data Interface) feature is available on all Summit DM transceivers that have Version 207 or later operating software (see Appendix A). Optional universal interface pigtail cable assembly, Part No. 597-2002-245, is required to utilize this interface (Validation Key, Part No. 250-9750-050, is no longer required). This cable provides a female 25-pin D-type connector for interfacing with the data equipment.

This is a non-proprie tary interface t hat can be used to connect various types of data equipment such as modems and data terminals to the transceiver. A detailed descrip tion on the operat ion of this inte rface is located in Appendix B. This in formation can be used to design and set up equipmen t for use with th is interface.

Various aspects of this interface are programmable using the standard transceiver programming software (Version 202 or later). The parameters that

Since the specific configuration of these parameters is determined by the equipment being used, detailed programm ing instructions are not included in this manual (this information should be provided by the equipment manufacturer).

NOTE: All interface parameters should be left in the default condition (indicated by *) unless instructed otherwise in the instal lation i nformation pr ovi ded with the data equipment. Failure to do so may result in improper transceiver operation.

4.7.4 AUXILIARY AND EMERGENCY SWITCH PROGRAMMING

When the Auxiliary 2 function is programmed, it uses the OUTPUT B line of the universal interface (see Section 3.5.4). For proper operation of this switch, OUTPUT B must be programmed for the default condition of AUX2. Universal interface programming does not affect the Auxiliary 1 function.

NOTE: The problem of the Auxiliary 2 output always going to the active state at power-up has been corrected with Version 206 and later transceiver operating software.

When an external emergency switch is used, it is connected to INPUT B of the universal interface (see Section 2.4.6). For proper operation of this switch, INPUT B must be programmed for the default condition of EMERGENCY.

or another Multi-Net system. Phone lines or some other type of link can be used to provide a communication path.

Multi-Net systems are not restricted to a certain type of signaling. For example, an entire Multi-Net system could be des igned usin g conven tional c hannels which use tone or digitally controlled squelch. The various types of si gnaling can also be mixed in a system. For example, there could be ten channels using Multi-Net signaling, ten channels using LTR signaling, and ten channels using conventional signaling. Your E.F. Johnson representative can provide more information on the capabilities of MultiNet systems.

The following information describes the MultiNet components shown in Figure 5-1.

5.1.2 MOBILE TRANSCEIVERS

The mobile and handheld transceivers used in a Multi-Net system must be compatible with the typ e of signaling being used (Multi-Net, LTR, or conventional) and also the frequency range of the system (800 or 900 MHz). E.F. Johnson mobile transceivers that can be programmed for Multi-Net signaling are listed in Table 1-2. All Multi-Net transceivers are triple mode which means that they can be programmed for Multi-Net, LTR, and conventional (non-trunked) operation. There are also many other E.F. Johnson transceivers available that can be programmed for LTR and/or conventional operation.

5.1.4 RADIO NETWORK TERMINAL (RNT)

The RNT along with the SMM (System Management Module) control the Multi-Net system. The SMM is an IBM

PC or compatible computer that is running Multi-Net software. This computer connects to the RNT and is used by the system manager to control the system. The SMM also cont inu ousl y moni tors RNT operation and maintains usage information which can be monitored by the Usage Accounting System. Such activiti es as dynami c rep rog ramming of mobiles and disabling of lost or stolen mobiles are also performed by the SMM.

A single RNT can control up to 30 repeaters which is the maximum allowed by the FCC at one site. The RNT is configure d with one Cha nnel Interface Module (CIM) for each repeater it controls and an Intelligent Dispatch Module (IDM) for each E.F. Johnson Dispatch Console. It also contains a Telephone Interface Modul e (TIM) for eac h tele phone li ne used for interconnect calls and other modules.

5.1.5 DISPATCH CONSOLES

One or more E.F. Johnson Dispatch Consoles or other consoles can be connected to the RNT using direct connection, phone lines, or other types of links. Depending on the capabilities of the particular console, the dispat cher can perform such functions as placing calls to specific mobiles, placing calls to other dispatchers, patching mobiles together so th ey can talk to each other, and monitoring status messages from mobiles.

5.1.3 REPEATERS

The specific E.F. Johnson Summit® QX repeater model that is used in a Multi-Net system is determined by frequency range and desired RF power output. Models are available for the 800 and 900 MHz frequency ranges and with standard or high power output. One repeater is required for each RF channel.

The Summit QX contains a main processor card which controls signaling on that channel. This card also allows the RNT to control the repeater. The specific card that is used is determined by the type of signaling used (Multi-Net, LTR, or conventional).

5.1.6 PUBLIC SWITCHED TELEPHONE NETWORK (PSTN)

When telephone (interconnect) calls are placed by transceivers, the RNT routes the call to the PSTN. The specific transceiver s which can pla ce calls and other interconnect parameters are controlled by the system manager through the SMM and also by the programming of the transceivers.

The option to route telephone calls through a Private Automatic Branch Exchange (PABX) is available. The calling features of the PABX can then be utilized.

MULTI-NET SYSTEM OVERVIEW

5.2 DEFINITIONS OF MULTI-NET TERMS

Conventional System - A type of radio system that is licensed to operate on only a single channel. There is no automati c access to several channels.

Home Repeater - All Multi-Net mobiles have one of the site repeaters assigned as their “home” repeater. When standard dispatch (group) calls are placed, the home repeater and group ID code identify the mobile or group of mobiles that receive the call.

Logic Trunked Radio (LTR) - This E.F. Johnson radio system provides the bas is for the Multi-Ne t radio system. Both LTR and Multi-Net systems utilize a channel management concept called trunking (see “Trunked Radio System” which follows). Logic circuitry in the mobile transceivers and repeaters controls trunking. It continually monitors the system and generates data messag es which update the mobiles and repeaters as to which repeaters are free and which mobiles are receiving calls.

Mobile - This term refers to a transceiver mounted in a vehicle but it can al so be applied to other types of transceivers because they all operate basically the same. The other types of tran sceive rs a re p ortab les and control stations. A control station is essentially a mobile transceiver u sed at a st ationar y locati on such a s at an office site.

Monitor Repeater - This is the repeater that a mobile is currently monitoring for update messages. This repeater may be either the mobile's home repeater or the site status repeater. When a mobil e i s not receiving a call, it continually monitors the update messages for incoming call and free repeater information. When making a call, the mobile may be trunked to any of the site repeaters that are not busy.

Multi-Net System - An advanced radio system which provides enhanced operating features such as autoregistration (roaming), busy queuing, emergency messages, and priority access. It utilizes trunking similar to an LTR system.

Public Safety - A radio service used by the Local Government, Police, Fire, Highway Maintenance, Forestry Conservation, and Special Emergency Radio services.

Radio Network Terminal (RNT) - The RNT together with the System Management Module provide control of a Multi-Net system. The RNT can interconnect several different forms of communication to form a communication network. Refer to Section 5.1.4 for more information.

Selectable Group - Each selectable system can be programmed with several selectable groups. Each selectable group contains ID codes which specify the mobile or group of mobiles being called, which calls are received, and other call information (see Section

3.3.4).

Selectable System - This usually refers to one of the systems selectable by the transceiver System Select function. Each selectable system can be programmed with a unique set of operating parameters such as home repeater, group ID codes, and unique ID (see Section 3.3.4).

Site - Repeaters that are physically located together and connected to the same high-speed data bus.

Specialized Mobile Radio System (SMRS) - A conventional or trunked radio system owned by an entrepreneur who makes a profit by selling service on the system. The entrepreneur is licensed for a base/ mobile relay faci lity and a ll users of mobiles or control stations on his system are licensed as SMRS “users”. The entrepreneur can also be licensed as a user on his own system. An SMRS may provide service to any of the radio services in the P ublic Safety and Industrial/ Land Transpor tation (PSIT) categori es. In addition, the Federal Government and individuals may be licensed to use an SMRS.

Status Repeater - One Multi-Net repeater at a site is designated to transmit upda te inf or ma ti on for all call s occurring at that sit e. This repea ter is als o available f or voice traff ic, but is not assi gned as a home repeat er for any mobiles because none of its mobiles would have home channel backup (see Sections 5.3 and 5.4).

Trunked Radio System - A radio system which utilizes multip le r adio channels and automatic channel switching to allow all system uses to access any channel that is not in use. This results in minimum waiting to make a call and maximum utilization of system channels.

MULTI-NET SYSTEM OVERVIEW

5.3 HOME AND STATUS REPEATERS

When a mobile transceiver is programmed, it is assigned “home” and “status” repeaters. The status repeater is used by a mobile as its primary source of incoming call and free repeater information. When a mobile is not receiving a call, it is continually monitoring its status or home repeater for this information. In addition, the home repeater and group ID code are used to identif y mo bil es when standard group calls are placed.

One repeater at a site is designated as the status repeater. This repeater transmits update information for all calls occ urrin g at that site . The stat us repe ater is also available for voice traffic, but is usually not assigned as a home repeater for any mobiles. The reason for this is that mobiles assigned to the status repeater would not have home channel backup. However, no degradation in system calling efficiency occurs if this is done.

The status repeater transmits continuous update messages at all ti mes. A home repeater transmits continuous update messages when it is in use or if any of its mobiles are trunked out to another repeater. During idle times, non-st atus repe aters tr ansmit updat e messages every 10 seconds. Therefore, a mobile just coming into se rvice quickly receives inf ormation as to which channel to use.

If the home repeater is being monitored and it is not busy, it is used to make a call. Otherwise, the transceiver may be trunked to any repeater at the site to make a call. The repeater to which a mobile is trunked is selected randomly.

Group ID codes 1-225 are assignable on each home repeater for standard dispatch calls. For example, if the system has ten channels, up to 2250 different group ID codes can be assigned. Group ID codes specify the specific mobile or group of mobiles being called and the mobile or group of mobiles from which calls are received.

5.4 HOME CHANNEL BACKUP

5.4.1 INTRODUCTION

If mobiles were limited to just their home repeater to receive update information and that

repeater became inoperative, all the mobiles assigned to that home repeater would not be able to place or receive calls. To prevent this fro m happeni ng, each site utilizing Multi-Net signaling has a repeater called a status repeater whi ch transmi ts update messages f or all calls occurring at the site. All mobiles assigned to the site can receive update message s fr om either th e status or home repeater. Therefore, if a home repeater fails, the status repeater can still be monitored for the information needed to place and receive calls.

5.4.2 SELECTING REPEATER TO MONITOR

Each selectable Multi-Net system of a mobile is programmed with the channel numbers of the status and home repeaters. Wh en t ran sce iv er power is turned on, it checks the status repeater. If valid data is detected, that r epeater becomes the monit or repe ater. If valid data is not detected, the home repeater is monitored. The monitor repeater does not change unless valid data is no longer detected or a system programmed for a different site is selected. Transceiver performance is not a ffe cted by which r epeater i s being monitored.

5.4.3 ASSIGNING THE STATUS CHANNEL

Each selectable system of a mobile is programmed with a status channe l and also the number of the site that is accessed by that system. For proper mobile operation, the same status channel must be programmed in all systems which access that site. For example, if systems 1, 3, and 4 access site 128, those systems must be programmed with the same status channel.

5.4.4 DETECTING DEFECTIVE REPEATERS

If a repeater is defectiv e, it is impor tant that it is taken off the air as quickly as possible to ensure that all transceivers ar e receiving quality service. To detect improper operation, calls can be periodically placed through an optional test mobile by the System Analyzer. A test mobile is simply a transceiver located off-site that has attenuated power output.

These calls use the Interrogate special call described in Section 5.8.4 , and they are p laced thro ugh each repeater in the site. This call exercises the repeater RF receive , RF transmi t, and log ic circuit ry. If the proper response is not received from the repeater

MULTI-NET SYSTEM OVERVIEW

by the RNT, the SMM alerts the system operator. The faulty repeater may then be automatically or manually shut down by the SMM.

5.5 MOBILE-REPEATER DATA SIGNALING

The setup and control of a call is performed by exchanging data messages between the mobile and repeater. This data signaling occurs continuously with voice because it is at the subaudible frequency of 150 Hz. This allows operat ion without a dedicated control channel. Therefore, all channels can be used for voice communication.

When a mobile initiates a call, a data “handshake” occ urs with the repeater. This hands hake occurs in only half a second, and it tells the mobile that the system has been su ccessfully ac cessed and that the signal is not occurring on the wrong channel because of intermodulation. One advantage of using a handshake to access a channel is that it prevents a mobile with a stro nger sig nal f rom cap turi ng a chan nel in use.

Data messages are c ontinuously transmitted to the repeater by the calling mobile while a conversation is in progress. A repeater is held for only the duration of the transmission with st andard dispatch (mobile-tomobile) calls. Some special calls, such as telephone and unique ID, hold the repe ater for t he dur ation of th e call.

If it is a home repeater, these messages are for its assigned mobiles that are being trunked to other repeaters. If it is the status repeater, messages to all mobiles currently using the site are tr ansmitted. If it has assigned mobiles, this includes messages to those mobiles. For example, assume that five different transceivers are making ca lls. If all ha ve Rep eater 1 as thei r home repeater , the data message order on Repeater 1 is as follows: 1 2 3 1 4 5 1 2 3 and so on. Therefore, in this case, the maximum number of data messages that would occur before repeating is six.

The calls that can be placed and received are determined by the ID codes programmed into the transceiver by the system operator. Therefore, other users in the system c annot eavesdrop on conversations of other groups. Although traffic can be monitored by a receiver tuned to the channels being used, that may even be diff icult beca use a c omplete conver sati on may include several exchanges occurring on various channels.

Since Multi-Net and LTR signaling is different , the mobile must be programmed for the type of signaling being used. For example, if the sele cta bl e system of the mobile is programmed for Multi-Net operation, it cannot be selected to place calls on an LTR system and vice versa. However, since all curr ent Multi-Net transceivers can be program med for MultiNet, LTR, and conventional operation, all the user has to do to place a different type of call is select another system.

When a mobile is trunked to another repeater to receive a call, addi tional da ta messages are transmitt ed continuously by that mobile 's home repeater, the status repeater (see Section 5.4), and the repeater to which the mobile was trunked. The messages on the home and status repeaters tell mobiles just coming into service which repeater to switch to in order to receive the call. Messages on the repeater being used by the transceiver keep it updated on what calls are being received by other mobiles assigned to its home repeater. Therefore, calls with a higher receive priori ty are not missed even when trunked to another repeater.

The sequence of data messages transmitted on a home or status repeater follows: Every third data message is the message to the mobile using that repeater. Then alternating between those messages are the messages to the other mobiles receiving calls.

5.6 REPEATER DATA BUS SIGNALING

A single-line, high-speed serial data bus interconnects the control logic of the repeaters at a site. Control information is exchanged between repeaters via this bus. Repeaters in a Multi-Net system utilize a logic control technique called distributive processi ng in which the logic of each repeater performs all the control functions on that channel. This eliminates the need for a separate controller at each site.

When a repeater is in use, it places information on this data bus which includes the home repeater number and the group and unique ID code of the mobile using the channel. This information is monitored by the other repeaters at the site so that they can determine which repeaters are free and also if any of their assigned mobiles are trunked to other repeaters.
