1.1 SAFETY CONVENTIONS

The following conventions are used throughout this manual to alert the user to general safety precautions
that must be observed during all phases of operation, service, and repair of this product. Failure to comply
with these precautions or with specific warning elsewhere in this manual violates safety standards of
design, manufacture, and intended use of the product. Harris assumes no liability for the customer’s
failure to comply with these standards.

The XL-200P portable radio has been tested and complies with the FCC RF exposure limits for
“Occupational Use Only.” In addition, this Harris radio complies with the following Standards and
Guidelines with regard to RF energy and electromagnetic energy levels and evaluation of such levels for
exposure to humans:

• FCC OET Bulletin 65 Edition 97-01 Supplement C, Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for

Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields.

• American National Standards Institute (C95.1 – 1992), IEEE Standard for Safety Levels with Respect

to Human Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields, 3 kHz to 300 GHz.

• American National Standards Institute (C95.3 – 1992), IEEE Recommended Practice for the

Measurement of Potentially Hazardous Electromagnetic Fields – RF and Microwave.

• IC Standard RSS-102, Issue 4, 2010: Spectrum Management and Telecommunications Radio

Standards Specification. Radiofrequency Exposure Compliance of Radiocommunication Apparatus
(All Frequency Bands).

• European Council Directive 89/391/EEC.

14221-1800-2000, Rev. C

CAUTION

1.2.1 RF Exposure Guidelines

To ensure that exposure to RF electromagnetic energy is within the EU/AU/FCC/IC
allowable limits for occupational use, always adhere to the following guidelines:

• DO NOT operate the radio without a proper antenna attached, as this may damage the radio and may

also cause the FCC RF exposure limits to be exceeded. A proper antenna is the antenna supplied with
this radio by Harris or an antenna specifically authorized by Harris for use with this radio. (Refer to
Table 4-1.)

• DO NOT transmit for more than 50% of total radio use time (“50% duty cycle”). Transmitting more

than 50% of the time can cause FCC RF exposure compliance requirements to be exceeded. The radio
is transmitting when the “TX” indicator appears in the display. The radio will transmit by pressing the
“PTT” (Push-To-Talk) button.

• ALWAYS transmit using low power when possible. In addition to conserving battery charge, low

power can reduce RF exposure.

• ALWAYS use Harris authorized accessories (antennas, batteries, belt clips, speaker/mics, etc). Use of

unauthorized accessories may cause the FCC Occupational/Controlled Exposure RF compliance
requirements to be exceeded. (Refer to Table 1-1.)

• As noted in Table 1-1, ALWAYS keep the housing of the transmitter AT LEAST 0.47 inches (1.2

cm) from the body and at least 0.98 in (2.5 cm) from the face when transmitting to ensure
EU/AU/FCC/IC RF exposure compliance requirements are not exceeded. However, to provide the
best sound quality to the recipients of your transmission, Harris recommends you hold the
microphone at least 2 in (5 cm) from mouth, and slightly off to one side.

• Refer to Standard EN 6231 1:2008.

1.4 OPERATING TIPS

Antenna location and condition are important when operating a portable radio. Operating the radio in
low-lying areas or terrain, under power lines or bridges, inside of a vehicle, or in a metal framed building
can severely reduce the range of the unit. Mountains can also reduce the range of the unit.

In areas where transmission or reception is poor, some improvement may be obtained by ensuring that the
antenna is vertical. Moving a fe w yards in ano ther direct ion or moving t o a higher el evation may a lso
improve communications. Vehicular operation can be aided with the use of an externally mounted
antenna.

Battery condition is another important factor in the trouble free operation of a portable radio. Always
properly charge the battery.

1.4.1 Efficient Radio Operation

Keep the antenna in a vertical position when receiving or transmitting a message.

Do NOT hold onto the antenna when the radio is powered on!

AVERTISSEMENT

2.2.1 Directives sur l’exposition aux RF

Pour s’assurer que l’exposition à l’énergie électromagnétique des RF se situe dans les
limites acceptables de la FCC pour l’utilisation professionnelle, respectez toujours les
directives suivantes :

• N’utilisez PAS la radio sans qu’une antenne appropriée y soit connectée, car ceci peut endommager la

radio et également causer un dépassement des limites d’exposition aux RF de la FCC. Une antenne
appropriée est celle fournie par Harris avec cette radio, ou une antenne spécifiquement autorisée par
Harris pour être utilisée avec cette radio. (Reportez-vous à Tableau 2-1.)

• Ne transmettez PAS pendant plus de 50 % de la durée d’utilisation totale de la radio (« cycle de

service de 50 % »). La transmission pendant plus de 50 % du temps peut causer un dépassement des
exigences de conformité de la FCC en matière d’exposition aux RF. La radio transmet lorsque
l’indicateur « TX » apparaît sur l’affichage. La radio transmet lorsqu’on appuie sur le bouton « PTT »
(bouton de microphone).

• Transmettez TOUJOURS en basse puissance lorsque possible. En plus de préserver la charge de la

pile, une faible puissance réduit l’exposition aux RF.

• Utilisez TOUJOURS des accessoires autorisés Harris (antennes, piles, pinces de ceinture, haut-

parleurs/micros, etc.). L’utilisation d’accessoires non autorisés peut entraîner un dépassement des
exigences de conformité pour une exposition aux RF professionnelle ou contrôlée de la FCC.
(Reportez-vous à Table 4-1.)

• Tel qu’indiqué dans Tableau 2-1, conservez TOUJOURS l’appareil et son antenne à AU MOINS

1,2 cm du corps, et à au moins 2,5 cm du visage pendant la transmission, pour vous assurer de ne pas
dépasser les exigences de conformité de la FCC en matière d’exposition aux RF. Cependant, pour
offrir la meilleure qualité sonore aux auditeurs de votre transmission, Harris recommande de tenir le
microphone à au moins 5 cm (2 po) de votre bouche et légèrement déplacé sur un côté.

2.4 CONSEILS D’UTILISATION

L’emplacement et l’état de l’antenne sont importants pour l’utilisation d’une radio portative. L’utilisation
de la radio dans des zones de faible élévation, sous des lignes électriques ou des ponts, à l’intérieur d’un
véhicule ou dans un immeuble à ossature métallique, peut réduire la portée de l’appareil de manière
considérable. Les montagnes peuvent également réduire la portée de l’unité.

Dans les zones où la transmission ou la réception est insatisfaisante, certaines améliorations peuvent être
obtenues en s’assurant que l’antenne est verticale. Se déplacer de quelques mètres dans une autre
direction ou à un emplacement plus élevé peut également améliorer les communications. L’utilisation
d’une antenne fixée à l’extérieur peut facilit er le fon c ti onnement dans un véhicule.

L’état de la pile est un autre facteur important d’une utilisation sans tracas d’une radio portative. Chargez
toujours correctement la pile.

5.10 SELECT ZONE/SYSTEM

A System is a group of channels or talkgroups that share a common set of parameters as programmed in
RPM2. For example, a Trunking system defines the parameters needed to communicate on a particular
infrastructure by agency or geographical region, such as WACN, System ID, Talkgroups, etc. A
conventional system defines the channel set used and any specific signaling attributes (See RPM2 for
more information on System attributes). Systems are designated by the XX icon in the Zone/System
menu.

5 beeps of 2400 Hz tone and
then a 544 Hz tone for as long
as PTT is pressed

Sequence of tones:

• 937 Hz tone for 50 ms

• Silence for 60 ms

• 1300 Hz tone for 50 ms

600 Hz tone for 250 ms and
1800 Hz tone for 250 ms

Programmable via RPM2:

• Disabled (no tone)

• Slow (tone every 15s)

• Medium (tone every 10s)

• Fast (tone every 5s)

• Tones is 544 Hz tone for 75

ms

A Zone is an OPTIONAL container that can hold channels or talkgroups from a variety of systems (see
Section 6.3.2). In other words, each member of a Zone belongs to an underlying system. (See RPM2 for
more information on Zone attributes). Zones are always listed first in the Zone/System menu and are
designated by the icon. A button on the radio can be programmed to scroll through available
zones/systems (see Section 7.4).

Or

Select a zone/system via the menu:

1. Press the Menu/Select button to access the menus.

2. Use

 or  to display the ZONE menu. The currently selected zone/system

NOTE

5.11 SELECT GROUP/CHANNEL AND BANK

The XL-200P can be programmed with 1,250 talkgroups or 1000 channels per personality. Use the
Group/Channel knob to select groups/channels 1 - 16. Use the A/B/C/D switch to set the bank. The
selected bank is indicated on the display.

• Bank A: Channel A1 - A16 (1-16)

• Bank B: Channel B1 - B16 (17-32)

• Bank C: Channel C1 - C16 (33-48)

• Bank D: Channel D1 - D16 (49-64)

If your system has more than 64 groups/channels, a button on the radio can be programmed for the SEL
CHAN/GRP option. This allows you to select a “super bank,” providing access to groups/channels
beyond the first 64.

Note that ZONES have a limit of 64 entries per zone and cannot be “superbanked.”

5.16 NOISE CANCELLATION

The XL-200P f eatures Harris’ proprietary noise suppression capability to provide clear and crisp voice
quality in high-noise environments. This can be used in any mode, including analog and digital
communications.

The XL-200P has three microphones; two located at the top of the radio (primary) and one on the bottom
(secondary). When noise cancellation is enabled, voice is picked up by the upper left microphone, and
noise is picked up from the bottom microphone.

In the case where noise cancellation is enabled and a speaker microphone is attached to the XL-200P, talk
into the speaker microphone. In this mode, XL-200P top left microphone is used to pick up the
surrounding noise, and the other microphones are unused. See Section 5.16.4 for more information. If the
bottom (secondary) microphone is blocked, the XL-200P operates as though noise cancellation is turned
off.

5.16.2 Using Noise Cancellation

When using the noise cancellation feature, observe the following:

• Verify NOISE CANCELLATION is enabled (see Section 5.16.1).

• Ensure the primary and secondary microphones are not covered. See Section 5.16.4 for more

information on the primary and secondary microphones.

• Talk within two (2) inches of the primary microphones (see Figure 5-5).

• Speak clearly, loudly, and with authority.

• If possible, face the noise source when talking into the radio (see Figure 5-5).

• In very noisy environments, it is o.k. to yell into the radio. The radio can handle loud input levels.

Figure 5-5: Using Noise Cancellation

5.16.3 The Effect of Distance from the Microphone

Unlike a normal microphone system, noise cancellation makes the level of your voice diminish quickly as
you move away from the radio. In essence, the radio starts to see your voice as surrounding noise.
Whereas, you may be comfortable speaking up to a foot away under normal operation, noise cancellation
requires that you hold the radio close.

43

14221-1800-2000, Rev. C

NOTE

5.16.4 Primary versus Secondary Microphone

5.16.4.1 Without a Speaker Microphone Attached

The primary microphones are located on top of the radio and the secondary is on the bottom of the radio
(refer to Figure 5-1 for microphone locations).

5.16.4.2 With a Speaker Microphone Attached

When a speaker microphone is attached, the radio electronically switches over to use the radio’s top left
microphone as secondary. The microphone on the attached speaker microphone becomes primary.

5.16.5 When using an SCBA Mask

When using an SCBA mask, the primary microphone can be held directly against the voice port. If the
SCBA has a voice amplifier, the same rule applies. Ensure that the secondary microphone is uncovered. If
possible, point the secondary microphone toward the noise source.

5.17 PTT OPTIONS

The radio can be programmed via RPM2 with one of the following PTT options:

• Radio and Accessory – In this mode, when the radio is PTT’d the audio source will correspond with

the PTT source.

 If the source of PTT is radio, the audio is routed via the radio microphone.
 If the source of PTT is an external microphone accessory, the audio is routed via the external

microphone accessory.

• Accessory Only - Any PTT input will have the audio routed through the external microphone

accessory.

The Bluetooth Speaker Mic is unaffected by this setting. PTTing the Bluetooth Speaker
Mic always results in audio being routed via the Bluetooth Speaker Mic.

5.18 VOICE ANNUNCIATION

When enabled via programming, Voice Annunciation provides audible feedback for various radio
operations. The radio can be programmed to play an audio message for any or all of the following. This
message can be a pre-recorded (canned) message or a user-recorded message.

• Zone changes

• Channel changes

• System changes

• Encryption On/Off

• Noise Cancellation On/Off

If the Talk-Around Indication feature is enabled in RPM2, the radio will play a unique grant tone when a
call is placed on a simplex channel or when Talk-Around has been enabled on a duplex channel. This
feature applies to both Analog and P25 Conventional systems. It optionally allows the radio to also play
the same tone when it receives a call while operating in simplex or Talk-Around. If configured, the radio

plays the tone at the selected volume level.

The tone will not play on systems configured with MDC.

Talk-Around Indication can be specified for each individual Analog and P25 Conventional system

5.23 TYPE 99 OPERATION

Type 99 is Harris' name for in-band, two-tone sequential signaling. It is a conventional signaling protocol
used to control the muting and unmuting of a radio. This signaling is commonly used for selective calling
of individual units or groups of units in a conventional system.

In Type 99 tone systems, calls are not heard until the radio detects the proper two-tone sequence. This, in
conjunction with squelch, prevents the user from hearing noise or undesired conversations. When the
radio detects the second tone, it sounds the appropriate Type 99 alert tone. After the second tone stops,
the receiver audio path is opened in order for the user to receive messages.

5.32 MDC-1200 (ANALOG CONVENTIONAL ONLY)

MDC-1200 is a legacy in-band signaling protocol that provides the radio with the ability to transmit and
receive a unique PTT ID. This PTT ID can be decoded by receiving radios and displayed as a
hexadecimal number or an alias string. In addition, MDC-1200 provides radios with the ability to transmit
emergency status to a console. Refer to the MDC-1200 Feature Manual, 14221-7200-6000, for complete
instructions on configuring and using this feature.

5.32.1 Normal PTT Operation

If MDC signaling on PTT press is enabled in RPM2, the radio t ransmits an MDC PTT ID message when
PTT is pressed. If the Sidetone option is enabled in RPM2, the radi o plays a Ready-to-Talk ( RTT) to ne
after the MDC pre-signaling has been transmitted.

If MDC signaling on PTT release is enabled (in RPM2), the radio transmits post-call MDC signaling
when PTT is released.

• IF STE is enabled (in RPM2), the MDC post-call signaling is transmitted after STE is sent on PTT

release only.

• MDC post-call signaling is also sent when there is a radio unkey due to Carrier Control Timeout

(CCT). Normal CCT alert tones occur prior to unkey.

5.32.2 MDC PTT ID Receive Handling

When the radio receives an MDC PTT ID, it searches the MDC ID Alias List for an alias associated with
the ID. If one is found, it displays the alias. If none is found, the radio displays the ID in hexadecimal.

5.32.3 Emergency Declaration

Emergency declaration is accomplished by the radio generating an MDC Emergency PTT message. An
Emergency is considered acknowledged when the radio receives an “Ack To Emergency” PTT message
with an ID which matches its own ID. If Emergency Audio is enabled and the PTT Sidetone option is
enabled, the radio plays the Ready-to-Talk tone after the MDC Emergency PTT signaling is transmitted.

• If an MDC Alert on ACK is enabled, the radio plays an ACK tone when the MDC emergency is

acknowledged.

• If audio tones are enabled, the radio plays an ACK tone if the emergency is not acknowledged within

the programmed number of retries.

2. Press  or  to display the SCAN menu.

3. Press  or  to highlight SCAN LISTS and press the Menu/Select button.

Refer to the following sections.

When using Preemptive Priority Scan, the frequencies in the list need to be unique.

6.14.1 Default, Priority 1, and Priority 2 Channels

6.14.1.1 Default Channel

This is the currently selected channel and is the channel you transmit on by default when you press PTT
while the radio is actively scanning and is not responding to a just received call. Responding to a call the
radio just received while scanning is called hang time. If hang time is set to 0 in RPM2, the radio always
transmits on the default channel in scan.

6.14.1.2 Priority 1 Channel

This channel will be scanned more often than other channels in the list and will be scanned in between
every ot her c hannel in the s can list. An example scan sequence would be P1 (priority 1), C2, P1, C3, P1,
C4, etc. In addition, the priority channel will be scanned even while actively receiving on a non-priority
channel. For example, if the radio is actively receiving on C3 and activity is detected on P1, the radio will
drop C3 and switch to P1.

6.14.1.3 Priority 2 Channel

This channel will also be scanned more often than others. An example scan sequence would be P1, C2,
P1, C3, P1, C4, P2, C5, P1, C6, P1, C7, P1, C8, P2, C9 etc. In addition, this channel will be scanned even
while actively receiving on a non-priority c hannel. F or example , if the ra dio is acti vely recei ving on C3
and activity is detected on P2, the radio will drop C3 and switch to P2. Additionally, activity on P1 can
also preempt P2, but P2 cannot preempt P1.

6.14.2 Trunked/Conventional Scanning

Trunked/conventional scanning adds the ability to scan multiple conventional and P25 conventional
channels while still maintaining P25 trunked radio operation. In essence, the radio is able to scan a
conventional scan list while still receiving a P25 trunked control channel and receiving P25 trunked calls.
Selection of which conventional scan list is associated with a given trunked system is done in RPM2 and
cannot be changed on the radio. However, a user with access to the necessary menu layout (see Section

5.8) is allowed to edit the scan list members (both trunked groups and conventional channels on the
selected Conventional Priority System). As the number of conventional channels being scanned
increases, the time between scanning each channel increases (roughly 250 milliseconds per channel), with

NOTE

NOTE

the consequent increase in the number of calls that will late-enter. In order to avoid missing calls, it is
recommended to keep the number of conventional channels being scanned to eight (8) or fewer.

The trunking site must have roaming set to Enhanced CC.

6.14.3 Vote Scan (Analog and P25 Conventional Only)

If vote scan is enabled via RPM2, the radio automat ically selects the strongest
signal ensuring that the best audio quality is delivered to the user. If vote scan is
enabled, the radio is always scanning. You cannot stop scanning, start normal
scanning, or monitor the channel. The scanning icon on the idle screen indicates
that the radio is vote scanning versus, regular scanning.

If Talkaround is enabled, Vote Scan is dis ab le d un t il Talk around is disabled again.

6.14.4 Edit Scan List

Depending on the scan list options selected in RPM2, you may be able to add or remove channels/groups
from the scan list.

6.14.6 Custom Scan Lists

The Mixed Zone Scan (MZS) feature gives the user the capability to scan based on a custom scan list that
is assigned at the system level. The Custom Scan (CS) list can contain System and Channel/Group
configurations across P25 Trunked, P25 Conventional, and Analog Systems. When a Custom Scan List is
assigned to a P25T system, the radio can scan P25T, P25C and Analog systems. When assigned to a
P25C or Analog system, the radio only scans conventional channels. MZS also gives the user the
capability to scan beyond the selected system group set.

• P25T Scan

When a custom scan list is assigned to a P25T system, the user has the ability to scan P25T, P25C,
and Analog groups/channels. All P25T systems must have the same WACN, System ID, and Unit ID
to be added to the custom scan list. If P25C and/or analog channels are added to the custom scan list,
the radio will scan them using the Trunked/Conventional scan feature described in section 6.14.2, and
will override any other conventional scan list that may have been programmed in RPM2.

• P25C and Analog Scan

When a custom scan lists is assigned to a P25C or Analog System, the user has the ability to scan
P25C and Analog channels. P25T systems are ignored.

Custom scan list can be created in RPM or at the radio. The radio supports up to 10 Custom Scan lists,
with up to 100 channels/groups in each.

This section provides information on front panel programming. Programmi ng can also be accomplished
by creating a plan using a computer with RPM2 installed.

7.1 PROGRAMMING VIA RPM2

Radio Personality Manager (RPM2) is used for the bulk of programmi ng t he XL-200P. With RPM2, you
can fully program the XL-200P using cable 12082-0410-A1.

Removing power during radio programming, or programming the radio with low battery
power could corrupt installation of firmware.

cable is connected, then power on the radio.

7.2 EDIT CHANNEL (ANALOG AND P25 CONVENTIONAL ONLY)

Channels can be edited from the Channel Information (CH INFO) menu display. Most of the displayed
channel parameters can be modified here. Channel edits persist across a power cycle. Loading a
personality clears any channel edits.

Available parameters vary depending on whether the channel is a P25 or analog channel.

1. From the main display, press  to access the CH INFO screen.

2. Press  or  to scroll through the programmed channel settings.

3. Press the EDIT soft key.

Only authorized users should attempt channel editing.

4. Enter the password programmed via RPM2. You do not have to re-enter the

password until you power cycle the radio.

7.3 OTAP

The XL-200P supports Over-the-Air-Programming (OTAP) via ProFile Manager. RPM2 creates,
modifies and stores personality information while ProFile Manager delivers the personality over the
network to the desired radios. ProFile Manager also contains the ability to read personality information
over-the-air and save the files, so that RPM2 can modify the information if necessary.

You can interrupt the programming process, if necessary, by depressing the Push-to-Talk (PTT) but t on o r
declaring an emergency. Once a radio personality update is successfully completed, the radio
automatically resets itself, switches to the new personality, and returns to normal operation. For more
information on using ProFile Manager, refer to software release notes AE/LZT 123 3263/1.

8.2 NARROWBANDING

The FCC has mandated that all public safety radios manufactured after January 1, 2013 comply with
narrowbanding restrictions (see http://transition.fcc.gov/pshs/public-safetyspectrum/narrowbanding.html
for more information). Radios manufactured after the above date will comply with these restrictions.
Existing radio personalities that contain frequencies that violate the new FCC rules will cause an invalid
channel error indication on the radio display. The user will need to change the radio personality to comply
with the new rules. Note that there are multiple exceptions to the narrowbanding mandate, including the
Marine Frequencies listed in Section

8.1.

10.2 OTAR ERRORS/INFORMATION

WORKAROUNDS:

1. Zeroize.

2. Load proper KEK from the Harris Key Loader or Motorola KVL.

IF RADIO INDICATES:

1. INVALID KEYSTORE ZEROIZE NEEDED - This occurs if the radio’s keys were loaded by the

Harris Key Loader followed by an attempt to load UKEKs with the Key Loader or keys with the
Motorola KVL.

- Fix by performing workaround 1, followed by 2.

2. NO UKEK – Displayed during a zeroize performed from the radio or a zeroize initiated from the

KMF.

- Fix by performing workaround 2.

3. Zeroize Complete – KMF has zeroized the radio.

- Fix by performing workaround 2.

4. Disabled OTAR Icon (red slash) – OTAR is disabled while in scan, talkaround, emergency, and

monitor.

- Fix by disabling these features. Icon will be corrected (no red slash).

5. Gray OTAR Icon (no red slash) – OTAR has not registered with tower (Conventional or Trunked

system).

- Fix by verifying proper frequencies.

- If the radio is turned to the OTAR channel out of range of a conventional tower, and then comes

in range after 3 minutes, fix by issuing an OTAR. Rekey, leaving and re-enter the OTAR channel.

6. Green OTAR Icon – OTAR is registered, all is well.

- If update fails, verify you are in range of the tower and the KEK is correct.

7. Blue OTAR Icon – OTAR is attempting to rekey.

- If rekey fails, verify you are in range of the tower and the KEK is correct.

NOTE

APPENDIX A WI-FI PROGRAMMING

These instructions assume the user has a basic familiarity with Wi-Fi Networks, their

before attempting to configure Wi-Fi programming.

A.1 NETWORK CONFIGURATION

• In order to program the XL-200P over Wi-Fi, you need to have a wireless network available. This

wireless network will be used by RPM2 and the radio for Wi-Fi functionality. RPM2 and the XL­200P come with a default Wi-Fi configuration, but they can be customized to match an existing Wi-Fi
configuration.

• For default operation, setup a wireless network (access point) as follows:

 SSID (or networking name) is set to the radio default of “harrisradios”
 Password of “password”
 Encryption type of either WPA or WPA2

• Ensure your wireless router supports mDNS/Multicast

router must be configured to allow mDNS/Multicast. This varies by router
manufacturer; refer to your router’s documentation for specific settings needed to enable

A.2 RADIO/RPM CONFIGURATION

Ensure that Enable WIFI is enabled (checked) on the RPM 2 Preferences screen as shown in Figure
12-1. This is disabled (unchecked) by default.

Figure 12-1: Enable WIFI in RPM 2

For def a ul t o p er ation usi n g th e network a s descri be d i n Section A.1, no other configura tion of t he r a di o or
RPM is required.

network.

Make sure this button is selected to
get into Wi-Fi discovery mode.

A.3 PC CONFIGURATION

Configure the PC to connect to the same Wireless network as the radio. For Windows 7, this can be done
through the Network and Sharing Center.

A.4 CONNECTION

1. For default operation, power on radio while pressing and holding the bottom side and PTT button s.

This places the radio into Wi-Fi programming mode. A screen appears on the front panel indicating
the radio is in Wi-Fi programming mode.

Figure 12-2: Enable Wi-Fi on XL-200P

2. Start RPM2.

3. Select the Connection tab (the one with the radio icon) and click the Wi-Fi connection button as

shown below. You should see any radios tha t are in Wi-Fi mode appear.

RPM2 and the radio(s) are on the same

14221-1800-2000, Rev. C

NOTE

A.5 PERSONAL/CUSTOM NETWORK CONFIGURATION

1. In order to use a wireless network with parameters that are different from the default configuration

above, some configuration of RPM2 and the radio is required. In RPM2, create a new personality or
open a personality previously created for the radio that you wish to program over Wi-Fi.

2. Navigate to the Network Configuration screen as shown in Figure 12-3. The default parameters as

noted in Section A.4 should be shown.

Figure 12-3: RPM2 Network Configuration Screen

3. Change the parameters as needed to match the configuration of the network you are trying to use for

Wi-Fi programming.

4. Reprogram the radio with this personality over USB and activate it.

5. You should now be able to connect to this radio over Wi-Fi following the procedure as outlined in

Section A.4.

In order to connect over Wi-Fi, the currently active personality MUST have the correct
Wi-Fi parameters. Therefore, care must be taken that all personalities on a given radio
have the correct Wi-Fi parameters for the desired network. Otherwise, activation of
another personality on the radio will result in the inability to establish a Wi-Fi
connection.
