INTRODUCTION
This manual describes how to use the IPE-200 Portable Radios. The IPE (Infinity) is a synthesized, microprocessor-based, duplex portable FM radio providing
reliable two-way communications in Enhanced Digital
Access Communications System (EDACS) trunking environments.
Duplex is provided in EDACS systems while operating in the Telephone Interconnect Mode. At other times ,
the radio provides simplex communications, i.e. when
placing group calls in the EDACS environment. In an
EDA CS trunked environment the user selects a communications system. In this mode, channel selection is
transparent to the user and is controlled via digital communication with the system controller. This provides advanced programmab le features and fast access to communication channels.
The exact operation of the r adio depends on the radio
mode, the operating mode, the radio’ s programming, and
the par ticular radio system. Most features described in
this manual may be enabled or disabled through programming. Consult the system administrator for the required features to be programmed into the radio.
