HT/JT1000/VISAR RSS

Steps to Connect the Hardware

1. Plug the 15-pin connector on the computer interface cable into the RIB.

2. Connect the other end of the computer interface cable to the asynchronous adapter on the computer . The RSS uses COM1 as the default communications port. When both a serial port and a modem are used, it is recommended that COM1 be used as a serial port and COM2 be used for the modem. If COM1 cannot be used for some reason, change the default to COM2 in the main SETUP COMPUTER CONFIGURATION screen (F9) and save it.

3. Plug the cable on the wall-mounted power supply into the RIB and the other end into the wall outlet (optional).

4. Plug the 25-pin connector on the program/test cable to the RIB. Connect the round 12-pin plug on the program/test cable to the Portable Products Test Set (RTX-4005B). This is not necessary if radio alignment will not be performed.

5. Connect the 13-pin plastic connector on the program/test cable to the HT/JT1000 radio or the 9-pin connector to the VISAR radio as the case may be.

4

Check the Hardware

Caution

When programming or calibrating a radio, DO NOT disconnect the radio from the RIB when the computer is communicating with the radio. If you do so, the radio may become inoperable. The only recommended time to disconnect the radio is while you are at the MAIN MENU or at any of the GET/SAVE/PROGRAM screens.

!

Connections

After you connect the hardware, turn on the radio by turning the volume control knob clockwise. You will hear one of the following types of tones:

High-pitched, short tone

Continuous low tone Critical failure or radio’s internal software

Hardware is connected correctly and the radio’s internal ﬁrmware is operating properly. Note: This tone may be disabled in the

codeplug and may not be heard.

malfunction. Contact a service technician immediately.

If the error is potentially fatal to the radio, the radio’s operation will be inhibited.

When a non-fatal error is detected, the tone will indicate that there is a problem, but the radio will continue to operate. The error tone will be of the same duration as the good tone, but will be 300 Hz instead of 900 Hz.

Note: You can install, start or explore the RSS using just the diskettes and your computer if you do not have all the necessary hardware. But you cannot read from or save codeplug data to an actual radio and perform service functions if you do not have the necessary hardware.

Note: If you are using a laptop computer and you plan to use the RSS while the computer is in battery mode, you may need to set the serial/parallel adapter to run on battery power. This can be accomplished using the application diskette supplied by the computer manufacturer. If this action is not performed, you are

likely to receive serial bus errors.

Note: If your RIB has a switch and LED, be sure to turn the switch on before each programming session.

What’s On The RSS Diskettes

Installing The RSS

Below are the ﬁles located on the diskette you received with this manual.

File Name File Type Description

INSTALL.EXE Installation ﬁle Used to install the RSS. INSTALL.DAT Installation ﬁle Contains installation data. HT1000.LIB Executable ﬁle Compressed version of the RSS. HELP.LIB Executable ﬁle Compressed version of RSS help ﬁles. DISK.ID Text ﬁle Contains identiﬁcation information

required for successful installation.

The INSTALL program creates a ﬁle named HT1000.BAT. This ﬁle is located under the root directory of the hard drive, enabling the RSS to start up from the root directory.

Create a Back-up Copy of RSS Diskette(s)

What To Do with Previous Versions of RSS Diskettes

We recommend that you make a back-up copy of the RSS before you install the software. To make a back-up copy, keep an empty (formatted) disk and follow these steps:

1. Insert the RSS diskette you received with this manual into drive A.

2. Type DISKCOPY A: A:

3. Press the Return key and follow the instructions that appear on the screen.

Accidentally reversing the insertion order of the diskettes will erase the contents of the original RSS

!

Caution

4. Keep the original RSS diskettes in a safe place away from magnets, moisture and heat and use the backup as a working copy.

We recommend that you discard previous versions of the RSS so that you always have the most current version available and do not mistakenly program a radio with outdated data. In addition, the latest RSS version has updated codeplug structures which cannot be read by old versions of RSS.

diskette. DOS will tell you when to insert the source diskette (the original RSS diskette) and when to insert the target diskette (a newly formatted one). Follow the instructions carefully.

6

Installing the RSS on your Hard Disk

Install the latest RSS version as soon as you receive it. This ensures that important ﬁles are stored in a consistent place for future use. The software installation will take approximately three minutes.

The INSTALL program will:

• Create the MRSS, HT1000, and ARC directories if they do not already exist;

• Create the HT1000.EXE, CONFIG.MOT, README.TXT, HELP.LIB and SETUP.MOT ﬁles; and

• Write over old version’s program ﬁles that have the same names, if they exist.

Note that the INSTALL program will NOT write over your ar chive ﬁles. You may install the RSS on several personal computers and laptop

computers at a single site depending on the terms of your license. If you have additional sites (i.e. a second shop, etc.), you should purchase additional subscriptions.

RSS Hard Disk Installation & Start-Up Procedure

1. Insert the 3 1/2” double-density RSS distribution diskette into the ﬂoppy disk drive.

2. Log on to that drive (assuming it is drive A) by typing A: (press Return) and type

INSTALL (press Enter) at the A: prompt.

The default installation directory is C:\MRSS\HT1000. Follow directions and answer questions as and when they appear on the display.

The installation utility will also prompt you for permission to create or modify the AUTOEXEC.BAT ﬁle. This modiﬁcation consists of changing the PATH statement so that the RSS can be started from any directory. The change should be allowed unless there are speciﬁc reasons not to modify the PATH statement.

Note: Motorola RSS software programs are not compatible with many Terminate-and-Stay-Resident (TSR) utility programs (Side Kick® for example). If you encounter problems when executing the HT/JT1000/VISAR RSS, these programs should be removed.

RSS Start-Up Procedure After installing the RSS on your hard disk, follow the start-up

procedure below:

1. At the C:\ prompt, type CD C:\.

2. Type C: and press Return to log on to the hard drive.

3. At the C:\ prompt, type HT1000 and press Return.

If the software does not start up correctly, you may hear a tone or see an error message or error code printed on the display . If this happens, verify that the ﬁle HT1000.BAT appears under the root directory of Drive C and check for the error code in Appendix A of this manual.

Note: The RSS is NOT a Windows program. If you have Windows loaded, the RSS program will not operate properly.

Field Deﬁnitions

Archive Enter the default directory path where archive ﬁles are to be located.

First enter a drive letter (optional), followed by a colon, and the new archive path name. Letter , number and edit keys are valid while in this ﬁeld. The GET ARCHIVE and SA VE ARCHIVE functions will default to this path. The archive path cannot be deleted. If you try to do so, the default Archive path name will appear in this ﬁeld.

Note: If the program is being executed for the ﬁrst time, the default archive path will be the same directory from which the program is being run. (Refer to the owner’s manual that came with your computer for a complete description of directories and path names.)

The archive path may also be changed from the GET/SAVE:GET FILE and GET/SAVE:SAVE FILE screens. But this path will be valid only for the current programming session. The conﬁguration ﬁle can be saved

only from this screen.

Note: The RSS will NOT allow you to enter an archive path name which points to a directory that does not yet exist. If you enter such

a path name, you will receive an error message to the effect that what you entered is not a valid path name.

RIB Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the asynchronous

communications port (COM 1 through COM4) that the RIB (radio interface box) is connected to.

Note: The RIB MUST be connected to the speciﬁed port.

If you are not sure how your computer is conﬁgured or if you have four asynchronous communications ports, ﬁrst select COM 1 and use the COM TEST (F3) function to communicate with a radio. If the test fails, select COM 2 and repeat COM TEST. Do the same for COM3 and COM4. Make sure that all cables and power supplies are connected according to instructions provided on page 4 of this manual.

Note: Refer to the owner’s manual that came with your computer for a complete description of asynchronous communications ports and instructions on how to conﬁgure them.

The SERVICE screens introduce the concept of a “softpot”, an analog potentiometer controlled by software. As stated earlier, the HT/ JT1000/VISAR radios do not contain any internally adjustable components. All RF and tuning adjustments are controlled by the software.

Each TRANSMIT SERVICE screen provides the capability to key up the radio via the F6 function key, and to increase or decrease the softpot setting using the UP/DOWN arrow keys on the keyboard. A graphic

The radio contains internal test modes that can be accessed from the RSS. Test modes allow the service technician to easily select various frequency, modulation, and transmit power combinations to verify proper operation of the radio. The test modes can be used to check transmit and receive operation.

Programming Procedure 1. When you access the TEST MODE screen, the RSS will read the

radio’s codeplug. Use any of the four arrow (scroll) keys to move through the frequencies in a circular fashion.

2. Once the desired test frequency is highlighted, press Shift-Enter to move to the signalling type selection.

3. Use the four arrow keys move the cursor through the available selections. When the correct selection is highlighted, press Shift- Enter to move to the transmit power selection column.

When initialization is completed, the radio’s codeplug will contain default data. At this point, the radio should be tuned. When tuning is completed, customer data can be programmed back into the codeplug using one of the following methods:

• Cloning, where the customer’s feature data alone is replaced.

• Programming, where tuning data is also replaced along with the feature data. If the radio’s codeplug (along with tuning data) was saved to an archive ﬁle prior to initialization, this archive ﬁle can be programmed into the radio after initialization. This process will replace the default tuning data of the radio with data which is valid for the radio’s RF board. Nevertheless, tuning should be checked since some ﬁelds may need adjustment. This is still easier than having to tune all parameters.

Important Notes on RSS Cloning (All Radio Models)

1. Cloning is NOT allowed across models.

2. Cloning is NOT allowed across radio types (e.g. from HT 1000 to VISAR)

3. Cloning is allowed across revisions of the same model (e.g. from a HT 1000 “A” model to a HT 1000 “B” model). If an older model is cloned to a newer model, default values for features added in the new model will be LOST. The ﬁelds associated with these features may display invalid data.

4. RSS cloning does NOT copy tuning information, model number or serial number.

5. RSS cloning copies customer information (as of release R03.01).

6. RSS cloning does NOT copy MDC or ATIS IDs, but does copy STAR IDs.

7. RSS cloning is allowed even if Option•Mate settings in the source and target radios are different. The setting in the source radio is copied to the target after a warning has been issued. Radio-to-radio cloning is not permitted in this case.

62

Special Cloning Instructions (HT 1000 models only)

These instructions apply only to cloning processes where an HT 1000 model radio (that is, an Option•Mate-capable radio) is either the source or the target. Refer to Option•Mate Conﬁguration for details on Option•Mate

conﬁguration. If both the source and target radios are HT 1000 revision “C” or later

Radio-to-Radio Cloning HT 1000 revision “C” radios can be cloned through the direct radio-to-

radio cloning process ONL Y if their Option•Mate Plug-In Board ﬁelds are set to the same value (that is, either “Installed” or “Not Installed”).

This is to make sure that audio routing information from an Option•Mate-enabled radio is not cloned to a non-capable (earlier model) radio since this will render the earlier model radio inoperative. For example, if an HT 1000 “C” model is cloned radio-to-radio to a “B” or earlier model, the Plug-In Board ﬁeld in the “C” model must be set to “Not Installed”. Otherwise, cloning will NOT be allowed.

However, if an HT 1000 “A” model is cloned radio-to-radio to an HT 1000 “C” model which has an Option•Mate Plug-In Board ﬁeld set to Installed, the audio routing information WILL BE LOST and must be reprogrammed. RSS Cloning will however be allowed even if the Option•Mate settings are different. The setting in the source radio will be copied to the target radio and a warning will be issued.

Tip If an earlier model codeplug is to be cloned to a number of

Option•Mate-capable radios, the older codeplug should be cloned to one Option•Mate-capable radio. If option boards are to be added, the Option•Mate ﬁeld can be set to “Installed” for the cloned radio and this codeplug can then be cloned on to the rest of the Option•Matecapable radios. (For more tips, refer to screen help on the GET/SAVE/ CLONE screen.)

The CHANGE/VIEW MENU is a multi-level menu, the sub-menus of which are used to change or view codeplug features and option conﬁgurations. Unlike SERVICE MENU functions, a codeplug must be loaded into your computer’s memory (using GET/SAVE/PROGRAM MENU functions) before you can access the CHANGE/VIEW screens. You may change or view an archive ﬁle without having a radio connected.

Note: If the current radio model does not contain a speciﬁc feature, you will not be permitted to access the corresponding data ﬁeld or screen for that feature. Refer to your radio catalog sheets or Radio

Service Manual for radio model descriptions and features.

After all change/view modiﬁcations are completed, you MUST return to the GET/SAVE/PROGRAM MENU and program the changes back into the radio or save them to a (new or existing) archive ﬁle.

Otherwise, the modiﬁcations will be lost when you turn off your computer or load another codeplug into memory.

Note: The CHANGE VIEW functions do NOT actually modify the radio’s codeplug data. Instead, they modify a copy of the data retrieved from the codeplug or archive ﬁle retrieved using GET/SAVE/PROGRAM MENU functions.

Field Deﬁnitions

Maximum Channel This is a view-only ﬁeld (that is, it cannot be edited). This is the maximum

number of channels that can be deﬁned for the radio model currently in memory.

The default depends on the model number.

Timeout Timer Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to adjust the length of time, in seconds,

for which the radio is allowed to transmit. Valid settings range from 15 to 269 seconds in one-second increments. You can also set the Timeout Timer to an unlimited duration.

The default is 60 seconds.

Auto Reset Timer Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to adjust the length of time that the

radio should remain in Carrier Squelch mode after receiving either an MDC Selective Call or a Quik-Call II page. The timer value will be incremented or decreased by ﬁve seconds when you press the UP/ DOWN arrow keys respectively. Use the Shift-UP/DOWN arrow keys to adjust in increments of one second. You can also enter a value directly.

This timer allows a conversation to occur following a Selective Call without the radio being reset to Page (Signalling Squelch) mode. The timer will automatically resume if the PTT switch is pressed or if carrier is detected during the timer period. The timer will start counting down once activity has ceased on the channel. The radio be reset to Page mode only when the timer ﬁnally expires. The range for the auto reset timer is one to 34 seconds in multiples of one second.

The default is 10 seconds.

CS Sleep Period (ms) Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to specify a value for CS Sleep Period.

This is the “sleep period” for a radio on a Carrier Squelch channel when the Battery Saver feature is active.

During the sleep period, the radio will power down the receiver and synthesizer and will cease to check for activity on the current channel. After the sleep period, the radio will turn back on and remain in the ON state for a period of time sufﬁcient to detect carrier. If an onchannel carrier is detected, the receiver will remain in the ON state and the radio will unmute until carrier disappears. When the timer expires, the radio will resume battery-saving activity by periodically entering sleep mode for the speciﬁed period. The sleep period can be adjusted from 5 ms to 1050 ms in 5-ms increments.

Note: As you increase the sleep period, battery life will increase, but the possibility of missing the beginning of a call or transmission will also increase.

The default is 105 ms.

74

PL Sleep Period (ms) This ﬁeld speciﬁes the “sleep period” for a radio on a PL channel when

the Battery Saver feature is active. During the sleep period, the radio will power down the receiver and synthesizer and cease to check for activity. After the sleep period, the radio will turn back on and will remain in the ON state for a period of time sufﬁcient to detect carrier . If an on-channel carrier is detected, the receiver will be maintained in the ON state for a period of time sufﬁcient to detect PL.

If no valid PL is detected, the radio will return to sleep mode immediately. If a valid PL is detected, the radio will unmute until the channel unmuting conditions are no longer met. When carrier disappears, the 10-second inactivity timer will be started. When this timer expires, the radio will resume battery-saving activity by periodically entering the sleep mode for the speciﬁed period. The sleep period can be adjusted from ﬁve to 1050 ms in ﬁve-ms increments.

Note: As you increase the sleep period, battery life will increase, but the possibility of missing the beginning of a call or transmission will also increase.

The default is 60 ms.

AGC AGC is available only on all JT1000 models, all VISAR models, and HT

1000 “B” and later models. Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/

disable the radio microphone AGC circuitry . Automatic Gain Control or AGC has the ability to level out the variations in audio volume due to a radio user speaking too softly , too loudly , or holding the radio too far from his mouth. All messages will be heard at the receiving end at a more pleasant volume level than if AGC were not used.

The default is Disabled.

Clear Channel Deﬁnition This ﬁeld is used to deﬁne the condition for a clear channel before PTT

or RAT transmission is permitted along with the Transmit Inhibit on Busy Channel feature in the CHANNEL CONFIGURATION screen (F4/F4).

Matched PL Clear channel is deﬁned as an absence of carrier or a

carrier with a matched PL. The user will be inhibited from transmitting if activity is detected on the channel with a PL code other than his/her own, or with no PL.

No Carrier Clear channel is deﬁned as an absence of carrier only. The

user will be inhibited from transmitting if any activity is detected on the channel.

The default is Matched PL.

Transmit LED Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable this feature. If this

feature is enabled, the red LED will light up whenever the radio is in the transmit mode.

The default is Enabled.

75

Flashing LED Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to set the ﬁeld to Disabled, Channel

Busy, Low Battery, or Chan-Busy/Low-Batt.

Low Battery The LED will blink when the battery voltage falls below a

predetermined value.

Channel Busy The LED will blink when a carrier is present on a receive-

PL channel.

The default is Chan-Busy/Low-Batt.

Quick Key Override Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable PTT Quick Key

Override mode. If this feature is enabled and two PTT activations occur within one second of each other, this feature will override the transmit inhibit option and allow the radio to transmit over the “Channel Busy” condition.

The default is Enabled.

Tx Inhibit Monitor Function Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable the normal

monitoring of channels when Transmit Inhibit On Busy Channel is enabled.

The default is Enabled.

Battery-Saver PL Lockout Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable this feature. If this

feature is enabled, PL will not be decoded when the radio periodically comes out of sleep mode until carrier drops. Therefore, a radio which enters sleep mode while a carrier is on the channel with wrong PL or no PL will not unmute to another call until carrier drops.

Note: This method of operation (not decoding PL) signiﬁcantly increases battery savings, but can cause problems in some systems. Use of Battery Saver should be carefully tested in the

customer system when the option is enabled.

The default is Disabled.

Field Deﬁnitions

Master Alert Tone Control This ﬁeld allows you to enable/disable all alert tones controlled from

this and all other screens, with two exceptions. These are tones which cannot be disabled from the RSS: MDC Select Call Alert and Quik-Call II Select Call Alert.

If the Master Alert Tone Control is set to Disabled, none of the Alert Tones can be enabled individually until the Master Alert Tone Contr ol is enabled.

If you want to disable all alert tones, only the Master Alert Tone control needs be changed. All individual tones will then be automatically disabled.

Note: There are two actions that will override and reset the state of the Master Alert Tone Control feature. These are:

1. Use of the F9 default key on any screen that has alert ﬁelds.

2. Changing the setting for the Signalling Type ﬁeld on the MDC/STAR/ATIS OPTIONS screen (F4/F3/F7/F3) which sets the new signal type defaults.

When the Master Alert T one control is re-enabled, all individual tones will still be disabled. Therefore, the desired tones must be turned on individually.

The default is Enabled.

91

Power-Up Alert Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable the Power-Up Alert

tone that the radio emits when it powers up. The frequency of the Power-Up Alert tone depends on the outcome of the radio’s self-test routine. If the radio’s cir cuitry passes the self-test, the Power-Up Alert tone will be sounded at 900 Hz (high tone) for 75 ms. If the self-test fails in a non-fatal fashion, the Power-Up Alert tone will be sounded at 300 Hz (low tone) for 75 ms, and the radio will continue to operate.

The default is Enabled.

Illegal Channel Alert Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable this feature. When

this feature is enabled and a non-programmed channel is selected, an alert tone will be emitted to warn the user that it is invalid.

The default is Enabled.

Timeout Timer Alert Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable the transmit Timeout

Timer Alert feature. If this feature is enabled, this alert tone will be sounded from the time that the timeout timer (TOT) expires until the time that the PTT button is released.

The default is Enabled.

Timeout Timer Pre-Alert Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable the Timeout Timer

Pre-alert feature. If this feature is enabled, a pre-alert tone will be heard four seconds before the timer times out.

The default is Disabled.

PL Defeat Alert Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable this feature. If this

feature is enabled, the radio will generate an alert before it enters the PL Defeat mode. The radio will enter Permanent PL Defeat mode when the Monitor button is held down for more than ﬁve seconds.

The default is Enabled.

Scan Programming Alert Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable this feature. If this

feature is enabled, an alert will be generated when the radio user enters or exits Scan Programming mode.

The default is Enabled.

Priority Channel Lock Alert Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable this feature. If this

feature is enabled, an alert tone will be generated while in Priority Scan and unmuting on the priority channel.

The default is Enabled.

PTT Tx Inhibit Alert Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable this feature. If this

feature is enabled, an alert tone will be generated if the radio user presses the PTT button when the radio’s transmission is inhibited (ex. Rx only channel, busy channel, etc.).

92

Mandown Pre-Alert This ﬁeld is applicable to HT 1000 radios only since the Mandown Switch

is an optional external accessory used only with HT 1000 radios. If this ﬁeld is set to Enabled, an alert tone will be generated before the radio enters Mandown Emergency alert state. This allows time for the user to return the radio to proper upright position before a Mandown Emergency alert is actually sent (that is, if the tipped angle of the radio was accidental and there was no emergency situation).

The default is Enabled.

Tx Low Battery Alert Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable this feature. If this

feature is enabled, this alert tone will be generated on PTT de-key only when a low battery condition is detected while the radio is in the transmit mode.

The default is Enabled.

Rx Low Battery Alert Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable this feature. If this

feature is enabled, an alert tone will be generated periodically when a low battery condition is detected while the radio is in the receive mode.

The default is Enabled.

Low Battery Alert Intvl (sec) Enter a value directly or use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the

interval of silence between low battery alert tones. The valid range of values is 5 to 155 seconds. The value you enter will automatically be rounded off to multiples of 5 seconds.

The default is 120 seconds.

Alert Volume Tx Enter a value directly or use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the

ﬁxed volume setting for any alert tone sounded while in Transmit mode. Volume settings for alert tones can range from one to 255 and are ﬁxed at that volume (with one being the minimum volume and 255 being the maximum volume). If you set this ﬁeld to Volume Knob, the alert volume will be the same as the volume pot setting.

The default is 176.

Alert Volume Rx Enter a value directly or use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the

ﬁxed volume setting for any alert tone sounded while in Receive mode. Volume settings for alert tones can range from 1 to 255 and are ﬁxed at that volume (with one being the minimum volume and 255 being the maximum volume). If you select Volume Knob, the alert tone will be the same as the volume pot setting.

The default is 176.
