Additional Performance Enhancement

The following are some of the latest creations designed to enhance the security, quality and efficiency of APX radios.



Dynamic System Resilience (DSR)

DSR ensures the radio system is seamlessly switched to a backup master site dynamically in case of system failure. DSR also provides additional indication e.g. failure detection, fault recovery, and redundancy within the system to address to the user in need. Mechanisms related to the Integrated Voice and Data (IV & D) or data centric are all supported by DSR.

Getting Started

This feature prevents crosstalk scenario from happening, especially when a wideband antenna is used. This feature allows the adjustment of the Trident Transmitting SSI clock rate in the radio to be varied from the Receiving Frequency. This subsequently reduced the possibilities of radio frequency interfering spurs and prevents the issues of crosstalk.



Encrypted Integrated Data (EID)

EID provides security encryption and authentication of IV & D data bearer service communication between the radio and the Customer Enterprise Network.



SecureNet

SecureNet allows user to perform secured communications on an Analog or Motorola Data Communication (MDC) channel. The MDC OTAR feature will allow users to perform OTAR activities on an MDC channel.

Note: Valid characters for a username entry are capital

letters (A – Z), small letters (a – z), numbers (0 – 9), symbols (*, -, #, /), and the space character.

The maximum length for a username is eight (8) characters. Usernames are not case sensitive in server mode but are case sensitive in non-server mode.

A predefined username list may sometimes be invalid because the programming software that is used to set predefined usernames allows you to set usernames comprising of eight (8) characters or more.

Using the Multikey Feature

This feature allows the radio to be equipped with different encryption keys and supports the DES-OFB algorithm.

There are two types:

• Conventional Multikey – The encryption keys can be tied

(strapped), on a one-per-channel basis, through Customer Programming Software. In addition, you can have operatorselectable keys, operator-selectable keysets, and operatorselectable key erasure. If talkgroups are enabled in conventional, then the encryption keys are strapped to the talkgroups.

• Trunked Multikey – If you use your radio for both

conventional and trunked applications, you have to strap your encryption keys for trunking on a per-talkgroup or announcement-group basis. In addition, you may strap a different key to other features, such as dynamic regrouping, failsoft, or emergency talkgroup. You can have operatorselectable key erasure.

Advanced Features

The Global Positioning System (GPS)

This feature uses information from the Global Positioning System (GPS) satellites orbiting the Earth to determine the approximate geographical location of your radio, expressed as latitude and longitude. The availability and accuracy of this location information (and the amount of time that it takes to calculate it) varies depending on the environment in which you are using the GPS feature.

For example, GPS location fixes are very difficult to obtain indoors, in covered locations, between high buildings, or in situations where you have not established a clear broad view of the sky.



Understanding the GPS Feature

The GPS technology uses radio signals from earth orbiting satellites, to establish the location coordinates, maximizing your view of clear unobstructed sky is essential for optimum performance.

Where adequate signals from multiple satellites are not available (usually because you cannot establish a view of a wide area of the sky), the GPS feature of your radio will not work. Such situations include but are not limited to:

• In underground locations

English

• Inside of buildings, trains, or other covered vehicles

• Under any other metal or concrete roof or structure

• Between tall buildings or under dense tree-cover

• In temperature extremes outside the operating limits of your

radio

Even where location information can be calculated in such situations, it may take longer to do so, and your location estimate may not be as accurate. Therefore, in any emergency situation, always report your location to your dispatcher.

Note: Even where adequate signals from multiple satellites

are available, your GPS feature only provides an approximate location, usually within 20 meters from your actual location, but sometimes further away.

Keep in mind that the accuracy of the location information and the time it takes to obtain it varies depending upon circumstances, particularly the ability to receive signals from an adequate number of satellites.

Note: The satellites used by the GPS feature are controlled

by the U.S. government and are subject to changes implemented in accordance with the Department of Defense GPS user policy and the Federal Radio Navigation Plan. These changes may affect the performance of the GPS feature on your radio.



Enhancing GPS Performance

Sometimes, the GPS feature may be unable to complete a location calculation successfully. You then see a message indicating that your radio cannot connect to enough visible satellites.

To maximize the ability of your radio to determine a fix, please note the following guidelines:

• For your initial fix, hold the radio in the face position.

• Stay in the open. The GPS feature works best where there is

nothing between your radio and a large amount of open sky.



Using the Outdoor Location Feature (Using GPS)
