Module 2 - 19
Overview
Inputs:
Voice or Output:
IP data
The technologies that enable MOTOTRBO to deliver benefits like greater usable range, integrated
voice and data, spectrum efficiency, and increased battery life will be explored on the next 4 slides:
1: Analog to Digital Conversion
2: Vocoding and Forward Error Correction
3. Framing
4. TDMA Transmission
Module 2 - 20
Overview: Step 1 - Analog to Digital Conversion
Analogous to how a written message is converted to a data stream by a fax machine, Analog
to Digital Conversion translates the user’s voice (microphone input) to a digital bitstream.
The digital bitstream contains a LOT of bits - far too many to transmit over a radio channel.
So some form of compression is required…..
Module 2 - 21
Overview: Step 2 - Vocoding & Forward Error Correction
Vocoding (Voice encoding) compresses speech by breaking it into its most important parts and encoding
them with a small number of bits. Because it focuses on human speech, it greatly reduces background noise.
Forward Error Correction (FEC) enables the receiving radio to correct bit errors that occur due to RF
channel impairments - enabling more consistent audio performance throughout the coverage area.
Module 2 - 22
Overview: Step 3 - Framing
Framing organizes digital voice (or data) into digital packets: the voice or data becomes payload (like a letter
in an envelope) while the header describes the type of call, source and destination address, etc. (like the
addressing information on the envelope). This enables one radio to provide integrated voice and data.

Module 2 - 23
Overview: Step 4 - TDMA Transmission
Transmission encoding completes the encoding process (like adding the machine-readable sorting
information on the envelope) and finally “mails the letter.”
TDMA (Time Division Multiple Access) organizes a channel into 2 time slots: a given radio’s transmitter is
active only for short bursts, which provides longer battery life. And by transmitting only on their alternating
time slots, two calls can share the same channel at the same time, thereby doubling spectrum efficiency.….

• 1 voice for each 12.5kHz channel • Divides existing channel into two timeslots
• 1 repeater for each channel • Delivers twice the capacity through repeater
• Performance is same or better than 12.5kHz FDMA
• 1 repeater does work of 2
• Reduces need for combining equipment
• Enables 40% increase in radio battery life

Module 2 - 25
2 Slot TDMA
1. Radio gives priority to voice
(if it’s time for radio to send in its
GPS update and the user happens
to press PTT, the data will wait).
2. Radio cannot transmit and

receive at the same time.
3. Radio transmits in only one slot

at a time (radio cannot transmit
timeslot 1 timeslot 2 timeslot 1 timeslot 2 timeslot 1 timeslot 2 voice on slot one while also
transmitting data on slot two).
4. Calls are not dynamically

allocated to slots, they are
statically assigned to a
frequency and slot in CPS.

Module 2 - 27
Digital Audio Coverage

Module 2 - 28
Digital Audio Coverage (Cont.)
• What end user will experience with Digital Audio:

- Consistent performance throughout coverage area with no gradual fade at
the fringes.
- Digital sounds different.
- Background noise reduction.
• What end user will NOT experience with Digital Audio:

- Digital radio ‘CD quality’.
- Digital cannot solve historic problems.

Module 2 - 29
System Coverage Planning
One accepted method
is known as Delivered
Before coverage Audio Quality (DAQ)
(usable audio range) can
be defined, identify the
minimum acceptable
audio quality
• DAQ measures the intelligibility and quality of voice conveyed through a

communications system.
• Audio quality is measured on a 5-point scale, with customers typically looking for
DAQ 3 at minimum.
• The definition of DAQ 3 is: ‘Speech understandable with slight effort. Occasional
repetition required due to Noise/Distortion’.

Module 2 - 30
System Coverage Planning (Cont.)
Coverage Considerations – • The figure illustrates the regions of

coverage that have comparable audio
Greater Usable Range quality for a MOTOTRBO site compared
to an equivalent analog site.
• For a DAQ 3, MOTOTRBO provides a

greater useable range than analog when
all other factors are considered equal
(e.g. transmit power level, antenna
height, terrain, etc.)
• In general, plan as you would for an

analog system at the same power level
and enjoy the better performance.

Module 2 - 31
Frequency Licensing
• The licensing process varies from region to region.
• Emission Designators: Includes several pieces of vital information, such as

modulation, signal, type of information and size of the channel.
• This determines the channel width your system will occupy. For MOTOTRBO
systems, the Emissions Designators are
– Data only: 7K60FXD
– Voice and Data: 7K60FXE
• If you have a 12.5kHz license, you will need to update your emissions designator.
• If you have a 25kHz license, you will need to update your emissions designator.
You will generally not be allowed to break it into two – 12.5kHz channels.
• For regulators who currently assign CTCSS/DCS tones to analogue PMR channel
licenses, for MOTOTRBO they will need to assign Color Codes instead.

Digital Voice Features - Group Call
• Digital Group Call is a way of enabling groups to share a channel without distracting
and disrupting other radio users.
• Both transmitting and receiving radios must be on the same logical channel (frequency
and timeslot) and Talkgroup.
• Group Call considerations:

– Which members of a functional workgroup need to communicate with each other?
– How will workgroups interact with members of other workgroups?
– How can users collectively share the channel resources?
One-to-many call type

Module 2 - 34
Digital Voice Features - Private Call
• Private Call allows a radio user to directly communicate with another radio user, even
if they are not within the same Talkgroup.
• Private Call allows one-to-one communication between transmitting and receiving

radio.
• Employee may use a Private Call to privately alert a specific manager about a security
incident, rather than placing a Group Call that would be heard by the whole group.
Note: “Private Call” is also

known as “Individual Call”.
One-to-one call type

Module 2 - 35
Digital Voice Features - All Call
• All Call is a one way voice communication between a privileged radio with other radio
users within the same logical channel.
• The transmitting radio uses a special All Call group that enables every radio user within
the same logical channel, (regardless of Group) to receive the communication.
• This feature is particularly useful when a supervisor needs to communicate to all radios
within the same logical channel (frequency and timeslot) rather than individual groups
or users.
• All Call follows the admit criteria of the selected channel.
One way voice communication
• For Capacity Plus Systems, All Call is setup politely on a Free Rest Channel and is
announced to all radios on the system (including those on busy channels), except:
• Radios transmitting on Busy Channels
• Radios listening to Emergency call(s)

Module 2 - 36
Digital Voice Features - DTMF Hot Keypad
• DTMF stands for Dual Tone Multi Frequency.

• DTMF tones enable users to communicate via the numeric keypad
with a device connected to a control station.
• DTMF Hot Keypad provides the transmitting radio with the ability
to send the following characters encoded as DTMF during a voice
call:
0123456789*#
• This feature is supported in both analog and digital calls for
conventional Single Site, IP Site Connect, and Capacity Plus
system configurations.

Module 2 - 37
Digital Telephone Patch (DTP)
• DTP enables users of a MOTOTRBO digital system to make/receive telephone

calls between a landline telephone system and the MOTOTRBO radio system.
• DTP supports 2 types of phone patch calls:
– Individual : Voice call between a phone and radio user, initiated by either party
– Talkgroup : Voice call between a phone and a group of radio users, initiated
only by the phone user
• This feature is supported for Conventional Single Site Repeater, IP Site
Connect, and Capacity Plus system configurations.
• This feature operates only in half-duplex mode.

Module 2 - 38
Digital Telephone Patch (Cont.)
• DTP does not support Transmit Interrupt.

• DTP does not support Basic and Enhanced Privacy.
• DTP utilizes Commercial Off-the-Shelf (COTS) Analog
Phone Patch (APP) boxes that are connected to the
repeater.
• DTP relies on the APP box to provide the following
services:
o Access and De-access Codes
o Phone Usage Time-out Timer
o Go-ahead tone to the phone user when the radio user de-
keys
o Direct connection to PBX/PSTN
o Type approvals for supported countries
Module 2 - 39
Digital Telephone Patch - Hardware
• The following are recommended APP Boxes:

• Zetron World Patch M30
• Gai-Tronics PL1877A (MRTI2000)
• Customers will need to have access to PSTN POTS or a
company’s PBX system.
• This feature does not require any new MOTOTRBO
hardware.
• To enable this functionality, just upgrade current system
software and activate* the feature.
(* requires a license for the phone gateway repeater)

Module 2 - 40
Digital Telephone Patch – Making a Phone Call
Radio-to-Phone Call
A radio user can use the following dialing methods:
o Phone Address Book
o One Touch Button
o Manual Dial
Phone-to-Radio Call
1. A phone user dials phone number of APP box or PBX box.
2. PBX box connects call to APP box.
3. Phone user enters access code if required.
4. APP box validates access code and connects call to repeater.
5. Repeater sounds a tone and prompts phone user for target ID
to reach radio user / group.

Module 2 - 41
Digital Telephone Patch – Making a Phone Call (Cont.)
Single Site and IP Site Connect

• Target ID = CallType + TimeSlot + RadioID
Capacity Plus
• TargetID = CallType + RadioID
Overall Phone to Radio Number:

[APP/PBX Phone Number]+[Access Code]+
[CallType]+[TimeSlot* + RadioID]
(* omitted for Capacity Plus systems)

Module 2 - 42
Digital Telephone Patch – During a Phone Call
• The radio user has higher priority channel access than

the phone user.
• A phone call transmission is always clear, even if privacy
is enabled in the radio.
• The phone call duration is longer than a regular 2-way
radio voice call.
• There are 2 switches that happen:
o Radio-to-Phone
o Phone-to-Radio

Module 2 - 43
Digital Telephone Patch – During a Phone Call (Cont.)
• Slight additional voice access time is introduced to
achieve best overall user experience.
The Enhanced Channel Access feature is used to

minimize the switching impact.

Module 2 - 44
Digital Telephone Patch – Ending a Phone Call
• A phone patch call can be ended by the radio user, phone

user, or the APP box, with the following methods:
o The radio user can push the “Back” button, push a
programmable “Phone Exit” button or manually send the
de-access code using the radio keypad.
o The phone user can simply hang up or send the de-
access code using the telephone keypad.
o If a phone timeout timer is configured in the APP box, the
APP box ends the call automatically when the call duration
exceeds the timer.
• The radio sounds a “phone exit” tone to alert the user
that the call has ended.

Module 2 - 45
Enhanced Channel Access (ECA)
The Enhanced Channel Access feature is a call procedure in

which an initiating radio transmits a channel access request
and waits for access to be granted before transmitting.
Advantages
• Improves call success rate by minimizing call collisions
• Improves the GPS data success rate on the GPS revert
channel
• Prevents call transmission when the radio is out of inbound
range
• Provides correct call status indication to the user

Module 2 - 46
Enhanced Channel Access - Considerations
• ECA is built into Capacity Plus trunked channels and
cannot be disabled.
• ECA is disabled when Enhanced GPS is enabled.
• ECA is disabled on Dynamic Mixed Mode channels.
• ECA is configurable in the radio (not the repeater) for
other repeater channel types.
– ECA follows the normal configuration while a phone call is
being setup, but ECA is always enabled while the phone
call is in progress.
• ECA is only applicable to polite transmissions including
data and CSBK calls.
• ECA increases latency for data and CSBK calls.
• ECA increases system/voice access time for voice calls.
Module 2 - 47
Embedded Digital Signaling
• In the framing process, vocoded speech is formatted for transmission.
• This process includes organizing the voice and any embedded signaling information.
• Information such as call type (private, group or all system) as well as identification
information and/or control information, is used to notify listeners on a voice call system
events and status.
• ‘Late entry’ allows a user to join a voice transmission that is already in progress. The
system allows for this to happen because the digital signaling information is repeated
periodically during the course of the call.
Module 2 - 48
Embedded Digital Signaling – Basic Privacy
• Basic (voice and data) Privacy is enabled using a non-cryptographic

algorithm (software scrambling) to protect information.
• Its primary purpose to thwart eavesdropping, however it will not

provide resistance against replay attacks or traffic analysis
(disclosure of information inferred by observing traffic patterns).
• Basic Privacy setting is not radio wide, but by channel selection.
• Basic Privacy controls the radio’s transmit setting.

- When a radio is programmed with Basic Privacy enabled, it will
transmit scrambled messages but is able to receive scrambled
and unscrambled transmission independent of the channel
privacy setting. It will use its provisioned key to descramble the
transmission.
Module 2 - 49
Embedded Digital Signaling – Basic Voice Privacy
Transmit
Radio Receive
Radio
• The transmit radio will scramble the payload information prior to sending it
over-the-air.
• Upon receiving, the target radio will descramble the information.
• Embedded and stand alone digital signaling is not scrambled.
• Embedded digital signaling includes target and source ID, talkgroup ID and
emergency setting.
• Stand alone signaling includes Radio Disable, Radio Check, Call Alert and
Remote Monitor.
• Voice is not protected over any accessory or wire line.

Module 2 - 50
Embedded Digital Signaling – Basic Data Privacy
Receive
Transmit Radio
Radio
• The transmit radio will scramble the payload information including IP/UDP
headers.
• Upon receiving, the target radio will descramble the information.
• Data that extends past the radio network is not protected.
- Text messages from deployed radios to mobile client’s e-mail addressable
devices are only protected over-the-air.
• Data messages are descrambled prior to entering the application server.
• Text messages stored in the radio’s inbox, outbox and sent items are not
protected.

Module 2 - 51
Embedded Digital Signaling – Types of Privacy
• Two Types of privacy mechanisms

– Basic Privacy
– Enhanced Privacy
• Enhanced Privacy provides a higher level of protection

– Multiple keys
– Cryptographic algorithm
– Protects each superframe in a different manner
• Both mechanisms are not interoperable with each other.

Module 2 - 52
Embedded Digital Signaling – User Control over Privacy
• Privacy can be enabled or disabled with each channel selection.
• User can choose to enable or disable privacy via radio ‘Menu’ access
or by programmable button toggle.
• The privacy icon is displayed when a channel is operating in secure

mode.
• For radios enabled with Basic Privacy but without full displays, it is
recommended to not allow the users to toggle their radio’s privacy
settings via a programmable button. Without the visible indication, the
user will not be able to differentiate a secure channel from an insecure
one.

Module 2 - 53
Embedded Digital Signaling – Privacy Key Management
• Privacy key is a value used to scramble and unscramble voice calls
and data transmissions on a privacy enabled channel.
• Keys are provisioned to a radio via CPS. Once radios are

programmed, keys can only be retained or rewritten. User cannot use
the CPS ‘Read’ function to view a stored key. There is no option for
‘blank’, ‘null’, or ‘zero’ key.
• For Basic Privacy,

– One key per radio.
– CPS offers a selection from 1- 256 key indices.
• For Enhanced Privacy

– One key per channel
– Radio can hold up to 16 keys
– Value for each key can be selected from 1 – 1,099,511,627,774
Module 2 - 54
Embedded Digital Signaling - Privacy Key Management
• Both the transmitting and the receiving radio must have the same
privacy key values for a successful transmission.
• In the event a receiving radio does not share an identical key as the
transmitting radio, unintelligible audio (digital warbles) will be heard on
the receiving side of the transmission or the radio remains muted.
• For data transmissions between radios with mismatched keys, this

will result in an unsuccessful data transmission. The data message
will never make it to its intended target address.

Module 2 - 55
Embedded Digital Signaling – Data Gateway Privacy Settings
• All data that is transmitted on a channel to and from a fixed client or
application server will go through the control station. Precise privacy
setting will ensure consistent data communication.
• In the event a fleet utilizes multiple keys, users must be grouped into
specific channels (slots) with their control stations utilizing the proper
keys. Control Station

Module 2 - 56
Digital Signaling Features
• Digital Signaling features send special messaging packets over the network.
Radio Disable, Remote Monitor, Radio Check, Call Alert and Digital Emergency
are types of Digital Signaling features.
• An Acknowledging Message is received by the Initiating Radio for all Digital

Signaling Features.
NOTE: Non-Display radios do not support all of these features because it does not have keypad/display for menu functionality.

• Another radio, or
• Third party IP-based repeater application
• The disabled radio displays blank screen and is unable to make or receive
calls.
• Once disabled, the radio can only be enabled via:

• The CPS, or
• A ‘Radio Uninhibit’ command from a third-party IP-based application
connected to the repeater, or
• A ‘Radio Uninhibit’ command from another supervisor radio, on
condition that the radio is within coverage of the site at which it was
disabled.
• This feature can be used to stop any inappropriate use of radio, or to stop
stolen radio from functioning.

Module 2 - 59
Digital Signaling Features – Remote Monitor
• This feature allows a remote user to activate a target radio’s
microphone and transmitter for a period of time.
• A call is silently set up on the target radio, and its PTT is controlled
remotely without any indications given to the end user.
• This feature is used to ascertain the situation of a target radio which

is powered-on, but is unresponsive.
• Used in situations such as theft, incapacity of the radio user or

allowing the initiator of an emergency call to communicate hands-
free in an emergency.

Module 2 - 60
Digital Signaling Features – Radio Check
• This feature allows the initiating radio to check if a target radio is
active within the system without notifying the user.
• Besides Busy LED; Transmit LED is also lit (to indicate ACK is sent).
There is no visible or audible indication on the target radio.
• The target radio automatically and silently responds with an

acknowledgement to the initiating radio.
• If a radio user is non-responsive, Radio Check could be used to

determine if the target radio is switched on and monitoring the
channel.
• If the target radio responds with an acknowledgement, the initiator

could then take additional action such as using the Remote Monitor
command to activate the target radio’s PTT.
Module 2 - 61
Digital Signaling Features – Call Alert
• This feature allows the initiating radio to essentially page another
radio user.
• When a radio receives a Call Alert, a persistent audible and visual

alert is presented to the target radio (available on radios with full
display) . The radio ID of the initiator of the Call Alert is also present.
• If the target radio presses the PTT when a Call Alert screen is active,
it starts a Private Call to the initiator of the Call Alert.
• For in-vehicle applications, this is often used in conjunction with the

Horn and Lights option. When a user is away from his vehicle, a Call
Alert can initiate the vehicle’s horn and lights to sound and flash,
which notifies the user to return to the vehicle and call the originator.

Module 2 - 62
Digital Signaling Features – Digital Emergency
• MOTOTRBO radios allow a user in distress to send out a confirmed
emergency alarm message and emergency voice to a supervisor
radio present within the system.
• The emergency alarm message contains the individual radio ID of

the initiator.
• Revert channels can be specified for emergencies, except on

Capacity Plus systems (where there are no revert Voice Channels).
• For IP Site Connect systems, Manual Site Roam is supported while

in an emergency.

Module 2 - 63
Digital Signaling Features – Digital Emergency (Cont.)
• Three major methods of emergency alarm and the emergency call
are:
- Emergency Alarm Only
- Emergency Alarm and Call
- Emergency Alarm with Voice to Follow
• Four alarm types configurable via the CPS are:

- Disabled
- Regular
- Silent
- Silent with Voice
• Two methods are used to stop the emergency alarm:

- User presses a radio button or keypad
- Timer expires after a predefined duration

Module 2 - 64
Digital Signaling Features – Emergency Revert and GPS Revert
• When radio enters emergency state, it will attempt to transmit

emergency location response on a specific channel to the Location
Server with which it is registered.
• The transmission channel for these updates is defined by:

– Radio’s emergency mode (Emergency Alarm/ Emergency Alarm
with Call or Voice to Follow)
– GPS transmission channel (Selected or Revert)

Module 2 - 65
Digital Signaling Features – Digital Emergency In Capacity Plus
• When a radio enters emergency state on a Capacity Plus system, the

emergency call begins transmitting to the “Emergency” Group.
• The Capacity Plus system ensures the emergency call starts on a channel
where users monitoring the “Emergency” group are present - there are
some behaviour differences in software releases R01.05.00, R01.06.00
and R01.07.00 which are shown on the next slide.
• The start of an emergency call is announced over all busy channels - this
allows a radio already listening to another call that is interested in joining
the emergency call, to leave its channel and join the emergency call.
• A radio already listening to an emergency call joins the new emergency
call if the new emergency group has a higher priority than the existing
emergency group - the highest priority is the Tx-Group, followed by any
group in the radio’s Rx-Group list.
• Capacity Plus does not support Emergency Revert Channel(s).

Module 2 - 67
VOX
• Voice Operated Transmission (VOX) provides hands-free radio

transmissions with the use of selected radio accessories
• The radio is keyed-up when VOX detects voice on the accessory

microphone
- Assuming the configured channel Admit Criteria are met
• Among the usage considerations are:

- User proximity to other audio sources
- Position of the VOX accessory
- Use of a trigger word when the Talk Permit Tone is enabled

Module 2 - 68
VOX (cont.)
• VOX is suspended if the radio has any Transmit Interrupt feature enabled
• VOX is temporarily suspended when:
•The speaker un-mutes to incoming audio
- VOX resumes automatically when the speaker mutes
•The PTT button is pressed
- VOX resumes following a channel change, power cycle, or VOX re-
activation (via menu or programmable button)
•The Emergency Alarm button is pressed
- VOX resumes automatically after the emergency is cleared

Module 2 - 69
Lone Worker
• Lone Worker provides a way to monitor if a radio user has stopped
activity.
– If there has been no user activity for the predefined Response Time
period, the radio sounds a warning tone.
– If there is still no user activity for the predefined Reminder Time
period after the warning tone, the radio immediately raises an
Emergency.
• Response Time and Reminder Time are programmable via CPS.
• This feature is also available in Analog (MDC) mode.
• Useful in cases where the user is working alone, operating machinery, or

carrying out a security patrol.

Module 2 - 70
One Touch Access (Mobile)
• ‘One Touch Access’ button enables a mobile radio to switch to a pre-
configured channel assigned by the CPS with the press of a button.
• This feature is available both in Digital and Analog mode.
• Channels from the Capacity Plus Channel Pool can NOT be assigned to
the ‘One Touch Access’ button.

Module 2 - 71
Radio Password
• Radios have a CPS-enabled password-based locking mechanism to protect
radios from unauthorized use.
• Upon powering up, the radio prompts the user to enter a 4-digit password.
• The numeric password selection/input method varies according to radio models:
• Display Portable – Numeric Keypad and “OK” button
• Non-Display Portable – Channel switch and Side Button(s)
• Full Display Mobile – Channel Rocker and “OK” button, or accessory

keypad.
• Numeric Display Mobile – Channel Knob and Front Button 2.
• The radio enters and remains in a locked state for 15 minutes, even if powered
off, after three incorrect password attempts.
• The password can be changed via radio menu or CPS.

Module 2 - 72
Multiple Groups and Channel Scan
• MOTOTRBO supports:
– Multiple Groups (i.e. monitoring a list of different groups on a given channel / slot)
– Channel Scan (i.e. monitoring a list of different channels within a system)
• Multiple Groups and Channel Scan both compatible with:

- Repeater channels
- Direct radio channels
• Multiple Groups compatible with:

- Conventional digital channels
- Capacity Plus personalities.
• Channel Scan compatible with:

– Analog voice
– Digital voice
– Digital signaling
– Conventional channels
• Channel Scan incompatible with:

- Capacity Plus personalities
- Emergency
- Data
- Roaming (i.e. radio can not roam to site and then scan channels at that site)
Module 2 - 73
Multiple Groups
• The radio unmutes only when a relevant group is transmitting on the channel.
• The relevant groups for a given channel (group members) are defined by the
Receive (Rx) Group List associated with that channel.
• One Receive (Rx) Group List can contain a maximum of 16 group members and a
maximum of 50 Receive (Rx) Group Lists can be defined.
• For repeater channels, the group call hangtime is defined by a repeater timer and
for direct radio channels, the (talkaround) group call hangtime is defined by a radio
timer.
• The radio is allowed to talkback to the group for the duration specified by the group
call hangtime.

Module 2 - 74
Channel Scan
• If Auto Scan is enabled for a channel, a radio starts scanning as soon as that channel is
selected by the user, otherwise if Auto Scan is disabled, scan can be started / stopped via a
programmable button.
• While scanning, a radio is looking for “Activity of Interest” by continually sampling the Scan
Members (channels) contained in the Scan List associated with the selected channel.
• One Scan List can contain a maximum of 16 “Scan Members” and a maximum of 250 Scan
Lists can be defined.
• While sampling a given channel, “Activity of Interest” consists of incoming (voice or signaling)
transmissions addressed to the radio using:
• The radio’s individual address, or
• One of the group address contained in the Rx Group List associated with the channel
being sampled, or
• The “All Call” address
• A mixture of digital and analogue conventional channels may be included in a Scan List.

Module 2 - 75
Channel Scan (Cont.)
• While sampling a given channel, if “Activity of Interest” is found the radio stops scanning and switches to
that channel. The radio then remains on the channel until all “Activity of Interest” has ceased for a period of
time defined by the “Call Hang Timer” (if applicable) plus the radio “Scan Hang Timer”. The operation of the
“Call Hang Timer” and “Scan Hang Timer” (for Releases 1.7 onwards) is summarised below.
• For digital and analogue repeater channels:

- On termination of a radio transmission, the repeater starts its Call Hang Timer running.
- On expiry of the Repeater Call Hang Timer, receiving radios start their Scan Hang Timers running.
• For digital direct radio channels:

- On termination of a radio transmission, receiving radios start their (Talkaround) Call Hang Timers
running.
- On expiry of a (Talkaround) Call Hang Timer, a receiving radio starts its Scan Hang Timer running.
• For analogue direct radio channels:

- Call Hang Timers generally do not apply here, so on termination of a radio transmission, receiving
radios start their Scan Hang Timers running immediately.
- For certain 5-Tone and MDC calls there is an Auto Rest Timer which acts like a (Talkaround) Call
Hang Timer. For such calls, a receiving radio starts its Auto Reset Timer running on termination
of a radio transmission, then starts its Scan Hang Timer running on expiry of its Auto Rest Timer.
• Once the “Scan Hang Timer” expires then the radio resumes scanning again.
Module 2 - 76
Channel Scan (Cont.)
• Channel Scan limitations

– Since Channel Scan requires the radio to switch between channels, there is a
possibility that the radio will miss a transmission.
– The larger the Channel Scan list, the greater the possibility that a transmission
will be missed.
– The Channel Scan list should be configured to be as short as possible.
– A scanning radio will eventually detect group and “All Call” transmissions via
“late entry”, however most individually addressed transmissions (e.g. Private
Call) will need to be prefixed with “Transmit (Tx) Preamble” if they are to be
detected by a scanning radio.
– Channel Scan (even with preamble) will NOT work for emergency calls or data.
Both these types of call can only be received on the selected channel
irrespective of whether Channel Scan is enabled or disabled.

Module 2 - 77
Channel Scan – Tx Designated Channel and Talkback
• If the user presses the PTT while the radio is scanning, the radio will (depending on its
configuration) transmit on one of the following channels:
- The Selected channel - this is the typical configuration.
- A specified conventional channel.
- The Last Active channel* (i.e. the most recent channel on which the radio stopped
scanning as a result of finding “Activity of Interest”).
• If the user presses the PTT after the radio has stopped scanning as a result of finding
“Activity of Interest”, the radio will (depending on its configuration) transmit on one of the
following channels:
- The Active Channel (i.e. the current channel on which the radio stopped scanning as a
result of finding “Activity of Interest”) – this is the typical configuration.
- The selected channel.
- A specified conventional channel.
* The radio only remembers the Last Active channel and NOT the Last Active group, therefore
this configuration results in a transmission to the TX Contact Name associated with the Last
Active channel (which is not necessarily the Last Active group). To avoid confusion, it is
recommended that this configuration is only used if there is a single group in the RX Group
List for each channel and this single group corresponds to the channel’s TX Contact Name.

Module 2 - 78
Channel Scan – Priority Levels
• Priority levels can be configured for members of a Scan List. Three levels
of priority are:
- Priority-1
- Priority-2
- Non-Priority
• Priority levels are configurable via CPS.
• Priority levels affect the order of scanning. The radio may re-order Non-
Priority scan members in order to optimize the scan efficiency.

Module 2 - 79
Channel Scan – Priority Levels (Cont.)
• If the following type of “Activity of Interest” is found while the radio is
scanning:
- Data addressed to the scanning radio (note: data can only be received
on the selected channel)
- An individual call (Private Call)
- Priority-1 scan member
then the radio stops scanning and switches to that channel for the duration
of the call.
• If however the “Activity of Interest” is a voice group call on a Priority-2 or a

Non-Priority scan member, the radio continues to periodically scan any
higher priority scan members defined.
- If “Activity of Interest” is subsequently detected on a higher priority
channel, then the radio switches to the higher priority channel
immediately without waiting for the current call to end.

Module 2 - 80
Channel Scan – Channel Marking
• Although relatively short, its does take time to determine if activity is of interest on a
higher priority scan member. During this time, there is an audio hole on the current
scan member.
• Channel marking offers a way to mitigate the duration of the audio hole.
• The radio assumes that if the activity on the higher priority scan member has
already been identified as not of interest, then there is no need to fully review it at
every scan interval.
- For a partial review the radio only verifies that the activity on the higher priority scan
member is of the same type as the activity which was previously identified as not of
interest, If this is the case then the radio assumes the current activity on the higher
priority scan member is the same activity which was previously identified as not of
interest. By verifying just the type of activity, the radio is able to get back to the current
call much faster. This assumption is made for a pre-determined number of times, after
which the activity on the higher priority scan member is fully reviewed again.
• The feature greatly increases audio quality while a radio is in priority sampling
mode.
Module 2 - 81
Channel Scan – Scan members with similar receive parameters
• A scan list with members that share the same receive parameters but different
transmit parameters may result in misdirected reply transmissions.
• When scanning, a radio only qualifies the receive parameters before landing on a
particular channel.
• Let’s review the following example to better understand the scenario:

- A scan list has two scan members: Channel 1 (Rx: F1, Tx: F2) and Channel 2
(Rx: F1, Tx: F3), where, both channels are Analog CSQ.
- A scanning radio will qualify the receive parameters and land on either channel
making an assumption about the transmit parameters.
- If the radio makes an incorrect assumption about the transmit parameters,
then this will result in misdirected transmissions.

Module 2 - 82
Channel Scan – Scan members with similar receive parameters
• In an analog system, this can be resolved by assigning PL or DPL codes. In a

digital system, the solution is unique color code or receive group per channel
assignments.

Module 2 - 83
Transmit Interrupt
• Allows a radio to end an on-going interruptible voice transmission

• This applies to all call types
(i.e. Privacy-enabled/disabled Group/Private/Emergency/All Calls)
• Radios are provisioned via the CPS, with 2 separate capabilities to consider:
– Radios with voice transmissions which are interruptible
– Radios which can interrupt interruptible voice transmissions
• Radios may be provisioned with none, either, or both, of the capabilities
mentioned.
• For this feature to operate consistently, all radios using the channel are
recommended to be provisioned with the ability to be interrupted
• Upgrade software versions of all radios and repeaters to R01.06.00 or later to
prepare a system to be fully Transmit Interrupt capable

Module 2 - 84
Transmit Interrupt (cont.)
• Transmit Interrupt is a Motorola propriety feature suite containing 4 variations
– Voice Interrupt
• Radio can de-key an interruptible voice transmission to initiate its own voice transmission within the
same call
• Interrupting radio must be partied to the call
– Emergency Voice Interrupt
• Radio can de-key an interruptible voice transmission and clear down the call to initiate its own
emergency transmission
• Interrupting radio does not have to be partied to the original call
• For Capacity Plus systems, this occurs on the busy rest channel (if all channels are busy)
– Remote Voice Dekey
• Radio can de-key an interruptible voice transmission and clear down the call
• Used for example by a supervisor radio to remotely dekey a radio that is inadvertently transmitting
• Interrupting radio does not have to be partied to the call
• For Capacity Plus system, the interrupting radio only interrupts transmissions on its own channel
– Data Over Voice Interrupt
• Radio controlled by a third-party application (option board or attached PC) can de-key an interruptible
voice transmission and clear down the call to initiate its own data transmission
• Interrupting radio does not have to be partied to the original call
• For Capacity Plus systems, a radio does not perform Data Over Voice Interrupt if:
• That radio is already transmitting
• The data message is for a revert channel
• The Rest channel is idle

Module 2 - 85

Module 2 - 86
IP Site Connect – Key Benefits
• Connecting two or more dispersed locations for day-to-day

communications.
• Building a larger or more effective RF coverage area.
• Broadcasting announcements to all sites.
• Connecting repeaters operating in different RF bands.
• Connecting to IP-based applications.

Module 2 - 87
IP Site Connect – New Concepts
• Master: The repeater that is responsible for registering new repeaters and
notifying other repeaters of IP address changes.
• Peer: A repeater or RDAC IP application in the IP Site Connect system.
• RDAC (Repeater Diagnostics and Control): Software application that allows a

system administrator the ability to monitor and control repeaters within the
MOTOTRBO system.
• All Sites Light Up: Every radio call that is made is repeated across all linked
logical channels.
• Site Roaming: Ability to roam between sites of an IP Site Connect system.
• Roam List: A list of channels that corresponds to sites in an IP Site Connect

system.

Module 2 - 88
Site Roaming
• MOTOTRBO supports roaming between sites of an IP Site Connect

System.
• Roam List – List of channels, each is a site of the IP Site Connect

system.
• Home Site – The site within the Roam List on which the radio
chooses to operate.
• Beacon – Periodic short transmission sent by de-keyed repeaters.
• Two methods of Site Roaming

• Passive Site Searching
• Active Site Searching

Module 2 - 89
Site Roaming
• User Control
– Change radio dial to change channels/sites.
– Initiate the Manual Site Roam to roam to next available
site.
– Use the Site Lock On/Off to lock to the current site.
• User Indications
– LED blinks yellow
– Site Roaming icon appears on display

Module 2 - 90
Site Roaming – Passive Site Searching
• Radio searches Roam List whenever the signal strength of its current
Home Site dips below preprogrammed RSSI threshold.
• Site with the strongest signal is identified as the new Home Site.
• While passive site searching:

– Roam List is sorted according to signal strength to optimize follow-up
roaming attempts.
– For repeaters where no voice/data activity is present, signal strength of
the beacon is measured.
– Sites that have been detected in previous attempts are searched first.
– Radio inspects the current Home Site for activity in between searching
other sites.
– Late Entry on calls on the Home Site may occur when radio is
searching other sites.

Module 2 - 92
Site Roaming – Active Site Searching
• Radio sends wake-up message to each repeater in the Roam List

until it finds an active site.
• First active site found in range and transmitting is identified as the

new Home Site.
• Active site searching occurs when:

– Radio initiates transmission but home site repeater cannot wake up.
– User initiates a Manual Site Roam.

Module 2 - 93
Site Roaming – Roaming Considerations
• Roam List
– A system can contain more than one IP Site Connect system, each
with one or two wide area channels.
– Each wide area channel should have its own Roam List.
– Each list should contain 1 logical channel from each site
corresponding to the wide area channel.
– Only wide area channels are added to the Roam List.
• Scan or Roam
– MOTOTRBO does not support the ability to both roam between sites
and scan channels at a particular site.
• RSSI Threshold
– Programmable via CPS.
– If too low, radio stays at weaker site although stronger site is available.
– If too high, increase in roaming, increase in late entry.
– Site configuration should be taken into consideration.
Module 2 - 94
Site Roaming – Roaming Considerations
• Beacon Duration and Beacon Interval

– Programmable via CPS
– Factors: number of sites, radio roaming frequency, system configuration.
• Revert Channels and Roaming Interactions

Module 2 - 95
Capacity Plus
• A single-site trunking configuration of the MOTOTRBO radio system.
SU SU SU SU SU

Subscribers
Channels
– Trunking utilizes a pool of channels for virtually unlimited number of Groups.

– Trunking provides efficient utilization of channels by allowing radios to share
logical channels, resulting in:
• Less waiting time to access the system
• Increased channel capacity for a given Quality of Service
• Lower probability of a call being blocked

Module 2 - 96
Capacity Plus – New Concepts
• Rest Channel: The idle voice channel that hosts all radios that are not
participating in a call.
• Beacon: Periodic short transmissions indicating the Rest Channel.
• Capacity Plus Voice Channels: Channels for voice and data calls.
• Capacity Plus Data Channels: Channels for data calls, except radio-to-radio
text messaging.
• Capacity Plus Voice List: List of all available Capacity Plus Voice Channels to
be used by the Capacity Plus system.
• Capacity Plus Data List: A list of all available Capacity Plus Data Channels to
be used by the Capacity Plus system.
• Back-end Network : The connection for Repeaters in the system to

communicate with each other.

Module 2 - 97
Capacity Plus – How it Works
• Radios not participating in any call remain on the Rest Channel.
• At the start of a call

– The Rest Channel repeater selects the new Rest Channel from idle voice
channels.
– A status message is sent to inform the radios about the new Rest Channel.
– The current Rest Channel is converted into a traffic channel for the call.
– Radios on the current Rest Channel with no interest in the call move to the new
Rest Channel.
 If the current Rest Channel is the last idle channel,

 the call starts on the channel
 participating and non-participating radios shall remain on the channel
 the system busy tone is heard if any user tries to start another call
 the next available idle voice channel is identified as the new Rest Channel

Module 2 - 98
Capacity Plus – How it Works (cont.)
• At the end of a call,

– the repeater broadcasts to the participating radios
• the current Rest Channel
• the status of the other available channels
– Radios on the channel shall move to
• the current Rest Channel
• channels with calls of interest to the radio

Module 2 - 99
Capacity Plus – Rest Channel Management
• No central controller manages the Rest Channel
– All trunked repeaters manage the Rest Channel collectively
– A trunked repeater informs other trunked repeaters when
• A new Rest Channel is selected
• Each time the status of a channel changes
• Capacity Plus does not require an exclusive control channel

– Rest Channel changes with every call, repeater failure, or interference
– A non-exclusive Rest Channel system has these advantages:
• Easily satisfies regulator frequency coordination (where exclusive
use of channels not possible)
• No “Request and Grant” mechanism required
• Suitable for channels shared by multiple radio systems
• Improves reliability of the Capacity Plus system
Module 2 - 100
• A software application that allows the system administrator the ability to

monitor and control repeaters within the system.

Repeater Diagnostics and Control (RDAC) - Alarms
• Categorization of RDAC alarms

– Major Alarms: Indicate hardware failures that prevent the repeater
from functioning normally.
– Minor Alarms: Warning alarms causing the repeater to enter a
disabled state and does not transmit, receive nor repeat.
– Mixed Alarms: Major or minor, depending on the availability of a
backup repeater and type of system configuration.
• Locked State
– Occurs after any 3 major alarms are reported.
– Repeater enters locked state and sets Major Alarm pin.
– LEDs on the Repeater front panel illuminate solid.
– Repeater does not service any calls over the air.
– RDAC displays the locked state and can retrieve logs.
– Repeater exits locked state after major alarm counter is reset via the
CPS.
Module 2 - 103
Repeater Diagnostics and Control (RDAC) - Connections
RDAC application can connect to the repeater in 2 ways:

– Remotely via the network
– Provides access to all repeaters
– Requires static IP address and UDP port of Master repeater
– Provides all services of RDAC application
– Locally via USB port

– Provides access only to the local repeater
– Provides only the Repeater Diagnostics and Repeater Alarm
Reporting services

Module 2 - 104
Repeater Diagnostics and Control (RDAC) – Multiple Systems
- Version 2.2 (onwards) of the RDAC application has the ability to monitor and
control up to 8 different radio systems (i.e. IP Site Connect and/or Capacity Plus)
simultaneously.
- To monitor and control multiple radio systems the Multi Systems feature needs to
be activated using the RDAC application and this requires the purchase of a
separate license key for each RDAC application.
- License keys are purchased via Motorola On-Line (part HKVN4041A) and an
Entitlement ID is delivered by email for each order placed.
- To activate the Multiple Systems feature:
- Install the RDAC application and ensure the computer has internet access (to
register the feature with Motorola).
- From the Help Tab, select Register Features.
- Use the RDAC Register Feature Wizard to enter the Entitlement ID and
register the Multiple Systems feature.
- Once the Multiple Systems feature has been registered, it will be possible to select
multiple radio systems using the Connect Tab (note: the systems must previously
have been defined for selection using the Systems Tab).

Repeater Authorisation (Cont.)
• For repeater slot Enable / Disable:
– Once an unauthorised radio keys up, the application can instruct the repeater
disable the slot, thereby preventing the voice from being repeated over the
air.
– Unfortunately, unauthorised radios will make the channel unreliable for other
authorised radios
– The repeater will re-enable the slot as soon as the unauthorised radio dekeys
• For IP Console radio Inhibit / Uninhibit:

– When the application detects an unauthorised radio’s attempt to access the
system, it can initiate an “IP Console Radio Inhibit / Uninhibit command to that
radio.
– This is feature is compatible with R1.7 MOTOTRBO radios and later.
– Such radios can not be programmed to ignore this command.
– IP Console Radio Inhibit / Uninhibit commands are initiated from an IP-based
console and can not be initiated from another radio.

Parameter’, the radio registers with a presence service. The location
application then learns that the radio is present within the system, and will
request explicit location updates as configured in the server application.
• The GPS equipped radio transmits updates over the radio system in
response to three service methods:
– Single location update

– Periodic location update
– On emergency

Module 2 - 158
Revert Channels – GPS Revert
• GPS revert channel allows offload of location updates to a pre-
programmed digital channel that differs from the selected channel.
• This feature effectively allows selected channel to free up and

accommodate increased voice loads or to enhance user experience (by
reducing the number of channel busies during voice calls).
• GPS Revert effectively allows large groups to communicate on a single

voice channel while offloading location updates to other channels. This
increases location update throughput, especially for users belonging to the
same group.

Module 2 - 159
Revert Channels – GPS Revert (Cont.)
• Revert channel option is configurable via CPS. CPS options for the GPS
transmission are Selected, All or None.
Selected: GPS updates are transmitted on current channel
All: GPS Revert channel. Updates are transmitted on

any other programmed channel.
None: No revert channel or the GPS update transmission

is disabled.

Module 2 - 160
• GPS Revert, when used correctly can significantly improve voice and
location data performance of a system. In order to maximize location
throughput, while minimizing missed data (text, telemetry) and voice
transmissions, there are a number of factors that must be considered.
- Non location update traffic should not be transmitted on the GPS Revert
channel when attempting to maximize the location load on the GPS
Revert channel.
- Do not add the GPS Revert channel into the scan list if the location load
is high. Scanning radios will often land on this channel and qualify
traffic that is not for them, this can slow scanning.
- In repeater mode, avoid placing the alternate slot associated with GPS
Revert channel into the scan list if the location load is high.

Module 2 - 161
- When using a portable as control station (although not recommended)

do not enable sleep mode since the location update message is not
preceded with preamble to account for this.
- Voice, data or control messages that are sent to a SU on the GPS

Revert channel will not be received. The radio is only on a GPS Revert
channel to transmit location updates and it does not qualify activity on
this channel.
- If group data is to be supported on a system, the inclusion of preamble

should be added to minimize the occurrence of the group data message
being missed while a SU is on the GPS Revert channel.

Module 2 - 162
- Avoid situations where a large number of subscribers are powered on in

a relatively short period of time, this causes a flood of registration
messages that impacts the voice quality of service on the Selected
Channel during the registration process.
- In order to minimize users from inadvertently changing a radio to the

GPS Revert channel, it is recommended that the GPS Revert
channel(s) are placed in a different zone to the primary voice and data
channel(s).

Module 2 - 163
• CPS configuration:

Module 2 - 164
Revert Channels – Data Revert (Capacity Plus)
• Optional digital data channel in Capacity Plus for all Radio-to-Server

data transmissions.
• Reduces data traffic from Trunked (Voice) Channels.
• CPS options for the GPS transmission channel in Capacity Plus:
– Trunked
• Data messages to Server are transmitted on the Rest Channel.
– Revert
• Data messages to Server are transmitted over one of the Data Revert
Channels.
– None
• Disables transmission of data messages on Data Revert Channels.
• Useful when radio is known to be out of range of any control station
accepting location updated.

Module 2 - 165
Revert Channels – Enhanced GPS Revert Channel
• Enhanced GPS is an enhancement on the existing GPS Revert and Data Revert
channels.
• Enables subscribers to access the channel in a synchronized manner, therefore:
• Eliminates collisions
• Allows for efficient channel usage - up to 360 GPS data transmissions per
minute per channel running at 90% capacity (standard GPS revert supports
80 GPS data transmissions per minute for channel at 85% reliability)
• Supports unconfirmed GPS data transmissions on single site repeater, IPSC and
Capacity Plus system configurations.
• Channel is divided into timeslots called “windows” that are reserved by subscribers
for GPS data transmissions
• Each window consists of an announcement slot followed by a number of GPS data
bursts
• Window size is configured by the CPS in both the repeater & subscriber
• Synchronization between radios and windows is managed by the repeater

the CPS) in both the repeater and the subscriber 10 50

Module 2 - 167
• Channel data structure:
• Each (8 min) Data Superframe contains 16 x (30 sec) Data Frames.
• Each (30 sec) Data Frame contains Windows, the number of which are dependant on
the Window Size configured by the CPS.
• Window Size is dependent on:
• Parameters to be sent in a GPS location response such as longitude etc.
• Whether IP/UDP header compression enabled
• Whether enhanced privacy enabled
• To transmit periodic GPS location responses:
• Subscriber requests (using a free window) a set of periodic reserved windows from
repeater
• The following update periods (cadences) are supported: 0.5, 1, 2, 4, and 8 minutes (if
an application requests a different cadence, then the subscriber responds with an error
message)
• Repeater allocates reserved windows if available and informs subscriber
• Subscriber stores window timing
• Before each allocated window arrives, subscriber reverts to Enhanced GPS Revert
Channel, verifies its reservation (by listening to confirmation grant from repeater), then
transmits GPS location responses in reserved window

Module 2 - 169
• Repeater eventually frees up windows reserved for subscribers that stop transmitting GPS location
responses (e.g. when they go out of range).
• Subscriber considerations:
• Recommended to keep Enhanced GPS Revert channels in subscriber “Channel Pool” to prevent
users from selecting (and interfering with) Enhanced GPS Revert channels .
• A channel is configured as Enhanced GPS Revert by selecting its “Enhanced GPS” option. To send
responses to an Enhanced GPS Revert channel, the Enhanced GPS Revert channel needs to be
specified by the "GPS Revert" field of the selected channel
• Not recommended to transmit non-GPS data on GPS Revert channel. Only exception is for
Capacity Plus systems where ARS data is transmitted on GPS Revert channel.
• Repeater considerations:
• One or both slots can be configured as Enhanced GPS:
• For single site and IPSC – other slot could be used for voice or standard GPS revert
• For Capacity Plus – other slot could be used for data
• Repeater Window Size should match Subscriber Window Size
• Upper limit on windows used for periodic updates can be configured as 90%, 75%, 60% or 45%
• Remaining windows can be used for window assignment requests, non-GPS data, one-time GPS updates and
emptying out queued GPS data (accumulated while subscribers participating in voice calls).
• For an IPSC wide area Enhanced GPS Revert channel, the associated slot for one of the repeaters should
specify a periodic window reservation (90%, 75%, 60% and 45%), while the associated slots for the other
repeaters should be set to “None”.

Module 2 - 170
ARS Initialization Delay
• Upon power on, radios register with the Presence Notifier by sending ARS messages
immediately
• In a system with many radios powering on within a short time, there can be many
collisions between ARS registration messages.
• To reduce collisions, the user can configure (using CPS) the maximum value of an
initial random delay for ARS registration in a range of 0 min to 4 hours
– Note “0 min” means that ARS registration message will be sent out between 5 sec
- 15 sec (not delayed)
• When to use:
– To avoid collisions of large number of radios sending ARS in a short period of time
– In any scenario where large number of radios power on in a short period of time
and delay in ARS registration message can be tolerated
• When not to use:

– ARS registration message is immediately needed (text messaging from server to
radio may not work properly if this feature is enabled)

Module 2 - 171
Telemetry
• MOTOTRBO radios supports telemetry functionality for digital mode of operation

only.
• Basic built-in telemetry functionality allows the radio to translate the receipt of a
telemetry message to GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) action, and to
translate GPIO action to a transmitted Telemetry text message.
• Telemetry commands can be sent from the radio on a specific revert channel. A
user can enter a number of text strings and assign an action and a destination
address to each string.
• MOTOTRBO also supports the configuration of radios as telemetry transponders.

The radios may be used to automatically send information to control and receive
status of another device, and to send messages to report the status of local
devices.
