SmartZone Backup Operations

A).Radio operation in Site Trunking

Site trunking occurs when a site is
not longer able to participate in wide

-area calls controlled by the zone
controller. Radios operating in site
trunking can only communicate with
other radios at that site.

The radio will of course always be
looking for a wide-area trunking site
to lock onto if it roams into range of
one.

1. When a site goes into site trunk­ing, the radio will receive this
indication and will display

“SITE TRUNKING”

2. The display will alternate between

the current trunked mode and the
site trunking display for as long
as the radio remains in site trunk
ing.

3. Users should have a pre-determined

backup Tower site when the System
is in Site Trunking.

Tower prefixes

HO = Houston Tower
HU = Huffman Tower
TO = Tomball Tower
CL = Clodine Tower
AL = Alvin Tower
TM = Tamina Tower
