Introduction

1.1 Overview

Welcome to the world of two-way radio programming from Radius, a division of Motorola. This manual is targeted for anyone who wants to program RapidCall features into the Radius GM300 mobile radio, or make use of the Select V signalling standards. Feature programming, or customizing, personalizes a radio for an individual customer's needs, resulting in radios with unique Òpersonalities.Ó

The Radius GM300 series of mobile radios has a unique set of RapidCall features, including:

❏

Signalling capabilities

¥ MDC-1200 ¥ Quik Call II ¥ STAR, ¥ DTMF ¥ DTMF Phone ¥ Singletone

Call Lists

These features make the Radius GM300 an ideal radio for commercial businesses and police and Þre protection services that use radios in their service vehicles.

How can Radius design radios with such a wide range of features and still offer radio servicers the ability to customize and personalize radios? The answer is in the modern microprocessor chip technology in the radio and

the use of Radius' Radio Service Software (RSS) - a computer program that, when interfaced with a radio, electronically programs and personalizes a radio with a unique set of features for each individual customer. The RSS program is found on the diskettes included with this manual (Package HVN8177). The some of the features and functions available when using the RSS program are listed in Table 1-1:

Signalling system parameters* Replaced power ampliÞer calibration

Scan lists and scan options Replaced logic board calibration

Accessory connector deÞnition* Replaced RF board calibration

* 16-channel Model only

This radio customizing and servicing is accomplished by using a standard IBM-XT/AT (or compatible), IBM convertible, or System/2 Model 30/50/70 computer.

Note: Prior to purchasing a computer, we recommend you test any computer's RSS ÒcompatibilityÓ by connecting all the hardware, installing the software, starting the RSS and reading and writing data to and from a radio. If problems occur, call the phone number on the front cover for help.

1.2 Prerequisites

To use RSS and to program the radios, we recommend a basic working knowledge of the following:

❏

Microcomputers.

❏

Microsoft Disk Operating System (MS-DOS), version 3.2 or later.

❏

The radio's available features (see Feature Chart in Basic Features section),

❏

The GM300 Study Guide, and the GM300 Operator's Manual.

This manual is written for both beginners and advanced users; the primary prerequisite for using RSS is the desire to program and deliver an excellent radio to your customer.

1.3 Using This Manual

This manual is designed to teach basic feature programming and to speed up access to technical information. To facilitate access to information, we have included key words in the page headers, numerous tables and lists, and a revised Table of Contents and reference sections. To help you better understand the information presented, we have expanded the Glossary list and added a Tutorials section to get new users started more quickly. Table 1-2 lists suggested ways to use this manual.

Tutorials

2.1 Overview

The tutorials in this section can be used to personalize radios for customers. We have created an imaginary scenario to demonstrate the need for radios programmed with different features for various applications. In each tutorial, the setting is the Longwood Hotel and Convention Center, a full-service hotel and convention facility specializing in large-scale corporate meetings. The Longwood Center must prepare for a major upcoming radio convention which will offer extended lodging, exposition and banquet facilities. There are three major communication requirements involved in the setup of the convention which fall into the following areas:

❏

Convention setup and maintenance staff

Needs radios to coordinate forklift and towing services involved in preparing the exposition display ßoor.

Security staff

Needs radios to provide crowd control and security force patrol at the exposition center, at the hotel, in the parking garage and on the complex grounds.

Banquet and food commissaries

Needs radios to provide internal and external coordination of catering and banquet resources using a van ßeet.

The Þrst tutorial (Programming Basic Radios) walks you through the steps of programming a new, basic 8-channel radio and takes approximately 45 minutes to complete. An on-line demo version of this tutorial is on the RSS demo diskette. To view it, type DEMO1. To quit the demo, press the Esc or Del key. We suggest you view the demo after reading section 2.2.4 of the tutorial.

The second tutorial (Cloning Radios) goes much faster, and involves cloning (copying) the personality data from an archive Þle of one pre-programmed radio to other radios. Cloning is used when there is a need for multiple radios equipped with the same radio features and functions.

Each tutorial provides the following:

1. Sets the scene

2. Lists the desired features for the particular application

3. Gives an overview in a list format of the major steps involved in programming the radio

4. Walks you through the speciÞc steps to program the features into the radio.

The tutorials assume that RSS is running and the MAIN MENU is displayed. If the MAIN MENU is not displayed, refer to Table 2-1 on page 2-2.

Now that you have set values for all the features you want, it is time to actually program them into the radio. Programming the personality into the radio's codeplug must be done after creating or editing the personality of a radio or else the changes will be lost.

Note: Make sure that the radio is connected to the Radio Interface Box (RIB) and that both the RIB and radio are powered up before pressing F8. On newer RIBs that have a built-in battery supply, make sure the power LED is on. If you have serial bus errors or other warnings, try a fresh RIB battery even though the power LED may be on.

2.3.1 Scenario

To make the best use of their time, the Longwood Hotel and Convention Center's setup and maintenance staff will need at least two tow trucks and two forklifts equipped with identical Radius GM300 mobile radios, as their duties are very similar.

2.3.3 Major Decisions Involved

The major steps for cloning in this tutorial are reduced from the six steps in the Þrst tutorial to three steps here, as most of the questions were answered by the decision to have identical radio personalities for all setup and maintenance operations.

To program the cloned radio, the approach will be:

❏ Pick Archive File. ❏ Decide Whether to Change IDs. ❏ Decide How Many Radios to Clone.

2.3.3.1

Pick Desired Archive File

To clone, the radios must be from the same product family, must be of the same model type and product vintage. In this case, you will use the archive Þle created and saved in the Þrst tutorial, A999999.999.

2.3.4 Step-by-Step Speciﬁc Cloning Instructions

In this subsection, you will:

❏ Read (get) into the RSS the speciÞc Þle you want to clone from (source Þle), ❏ Clone that source Þle into the current radio's codeplug (target), ❏ Clone the remaining two radios the same way, and then ❏ Exit RSS.

Read Source Archive File

Figure 2-2. Reading (Getting) an Archive File from Disk

Clone Current Radio From Archive File

Radio codeplugs consist of both personality and tuning data. Cloning allows you to ÒmergeÓ two codeplugs together. The archive Þle or radio with the desired personality is called the source Þle or source radio. The other Þle is referred to as the target radio. The result is an image that can be programmed into a radio and/or saved to an archive Þle. This image will have the source codeplug's personality, yet the tuning data of the target codeplug remains unchanged. In this tutorial, the source personality is the Þle saved in the Þrst tutorial, and the target radios are the three radios not yet programmed. To clone radios, follow the procedures listed in Table 2-10. To clone additional radios, use Table 2-11.

Note: The IDs for MDC-1200, Quik Call II, DTMF, etc. must be changed manually if you want to have unique IDs. You may do this by going to CHANGE/VIEW immediately after cloning each radio.

Rapidcall Signalling

3.1 Overview

The RapidCall Signalling option allows you to create up to 32 different signalling systems that are slaved to a receive or transmit frequency. The variety of signalling formats available makes this the most ßexible signalling radio in the marketplace. The formats are:

❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏ ❏

MDC-1200 (STAT-ALERT) Quik Call II STAR DTMF Singletone DTMF/Phone Access

Each signalling system has a number of parameters that may be changed on the SIGNALLING CONFIGURATION screens. In most cases the default values will not have to be changed. A description of each parameter and how it affects each signalling format follows.

For some features you will need to use other screens. Control or base units may need to encode calls or display IDs. If so, you can create a list on the CALL LIST CONFIGURATION screen. When creating a Call List, you will also need to edit information on the RADIO WIDE CONFIGURATION screen. For features such as emergency you will need to edit information on the RADIO WIDE CONFIGURATION screen.

3.2 Format of This Chapter

Only one feature or function is shown on a page. On each reference page you will Þnd a standard page layout with consistent categories of information. Below is a list and explanation of these categories. The categories marked with an asterisk (*) appear on every reference page. The other categories appear only when they apply to the speciÞc feature.

DEFINITION

MAIN

The delay period from when the radio receives a call to when it starts the Acknowledge (Ack) sequence.

DEFAULT/CHOICES Default: 0.4 seconds

Choices: 0.2 - 2.0 seconds

DEPENDENCIES

Acks are sent in response Call Alerts, Emergencies, Radio Checks, and Voice Selective calls.

EXCEPTIONS

IRECOMMENDATIONS

Group calls do not expect an Ack.

Ack Pretimes on simplex systems should be the same as Pretime. If using repeaters with at least a short hang time, then Ack Pretime can be made signiÞcantly shorter.

Alert Tone Reset

RSS LOCATION

DEFINITION

Determines how the audible alert tone will be reset (silenced).

DEFAULT/CHOICES Default: Manual

Choices:

Automatic

■

Automatic

The alert tone will only sound once and then will be automatically reset.

Manual

The alert tone will repeat every 10 seconds and MUST be manually reset by the radio operator pressing any button, usually the PTT.

DEPENDENCIES

Alert tones accompany Call Alert, Call Alert with Voice and Emergency Transmissions. Alert tone for reset applies only to Call Alert or Call Alert with Voice. It does NOT apply to received emergency calls.

RECOMMENDATIONS

If this feature is set to AUTOMATIC, then 4 quick beeps will be heard after a Call alert. This is the closest operation to a tone and voice pager.

Call Type

Field

DEFINITION Determines what response a radio makes when selectively called with a Call

Alert.

DEFAULT/CHOICES Default: Call Alert

Choices: ■ Call Alert ■ Call Alert/Voice

Call Alert Leaves a visual/audible indication ONLY. The indicating
