Motorola Astro Radio Software 68 81098e85 O Manual

 
349  
group of radios of an incoming call. Channel Scan will not take place 
until the Call Alert or Voice Sel Call is cleared. Since Call Alert signals 
are acknowledged, dispatchers can verify whether targeted radios have 
received their signals.  
Call Alert Decode 
A series of tones sounded to alert the user to an incoming page.  
Call Light 
A visual indicator that flashes when a Call Alert or Voice SelCall is 
received.  
Call List 
A list of IDs from one or more signalling formats that is used to...

 
350 Continuous Assignment 
Updating 
The ability of the Motorola Trunked system to ensure that a radio just 
coming into service will be sent to the appropriate voice channel to 
join the rest of the Fleet, Subfleet or Talkgroup. Once a group has been 
assigned a voice channel, the control channel will continue to 
transmit the voice channel information for that call for the duration 
of the call. 
Control Channel 
One of the four highest frequencies in a Trunking system that is used 
to provide a...

 
351 Default 
Standard radio settings. Also refers to standard settings that the RSS 
uses for input/output (I/O) port locations, file locations, display 
settings and other field values.The value a field will automatically 
contain if a user does not change it 
Default Drive 
The disk or diskette drive that the RSS will use to get or save data or 
files. You can change the default drive from the SERVICE SOFTWARE 
CONFIGURATION MENU ( 
F9 
). 
De-key 
Turning the radio transmitter to the off position....

 
352 Failsoft (F/S) 
A pre-assigned channel. In the event that the Central Controller 
should fail, the radios in the system will enter a “Conventional” 
Failsoft channel. Each Trunked repeater in the system will key and 
transmit a data word informing every radio in the system that the 
system has gone into the Failsoft mode and communication will act as 
a Conventional radio repeater. 
Field Choices 
A set of direct-entry values (or values that can be scrolled) from which 
the user may select to...

353 HearClear™An advanced audio processing technology that reduces noise and 
provides crisp, clear audio. It can enhance reception even in marginal 
conditions. This type of processing is only used in Motorola 900 MHz 
systems and is not used in Motorola 800 MHz systems.
Home ChannelThe channel the user was on prior to pushing the SCAN button.
Home RevertThe channel the user will revert to when PTT is pressed while in scan 
mode unless the scan talkback feature is enabled. Defines the transmit 
channel...

354 ModeA collection of personality values, such as frequency, PL codes and 
scan lists. A mode is assigned a number or name that is displayed on 
the front panel of the radio. Personality values are in effect for the 
mode displayed. May also be referred to as “channel” or “zone”.
Mode NumberThe number assigned to a particular mode.
Mode SlavedTerm used to describe features that are associated with a particular 
mode.
Mode Slaved ScanA type of scan that uses a scan list associated with a particular...

355 Personality FileA file that contains the data to be stored in a radio’s EEPROM. This file 
contains information such as receive frequency, transmit frequency, 
squelch code, and so on.
Pop-up WindowA message area that overlaps on a data entry/display area; used to 
indicate a data entry error or to verify destructive commands and 
provide function key choices for the next course of action. Also known 
as the Dialog Box.
PortAn input/output (I/O) port that transmits data one bit at a time; as 
opposed...

356into the radio. The user will hear only those transmissions encrypted 
with his or her radio’s individual key.
Quik-Call IIA two-tone sequential tone signalling system or format typically used 
in portable and paging products.
RAMRandom Access Memory. Used by the computer to store the program 
it is executing. The radio’s RAM is loaded with a copy of the EEPROM 
data. The program will sometimes write to the radio’s RAM to 
temporarily change certain features such that the user can get 
immediate...

357 READThe means by which a radio’s codeplug information is transferred 
from the radio’s EEPROM to the workspace via the RIB.
Receive FrequencyThe center of the receive channel (usually represented in MHz).
Recent User PriorityThe ability of the Motorola Central Controller to ensure uninterrupted 
communications to a recent user of the Trunked system. Recent User 
Priority ensures that a group engaged in a conversation will get 
priority access even if there is a significant delay between...

358 Site De-registrationThe automatic site “sign-off” by the radio when the user roams to 
another site or selects a talkgroup on a different system. This 
notification alerts the system control equipment that the channels at 
the site will not be used by that radio until it returns to that site.
SMARTNET™A type of Trunking system primarily used in support of public safety 
and industrial communication systems. This type of system has 
emergency and dynamic regrouping capabilities.
SmartZone™A wide area...
