94 Glossary
An electrical connection on a computer used to communicate with
other devices, such as a radio, modem, or a printer.
1) A set of computer instructions designed to have the computer
perform a specific sequence of actions.
2) The transfer of information from the computer's temporary
memory (RAM) to the radio codeplug.
A figurative term used to describe the organization of a multi-level
menu-driven software program.
An acronym for Push to Talk. The PTT button is a control on the
side of the radio that lets you transmit.
A receive-only function similar to paging.
An acronym for Random Access Memory. RAM's are electrical
devices used for temporary storage of computer or radio in-
formation.
An acronym for Repeater Access Tone 1. The RAT1 is a control
(on the side of the radio) that lets you access a repeater.
An acronym for Repeater Access Tone 2. The RAT2 is a control
(on the side of the radio) that lets you access a repeater.
The transfer of information from the radio codeplug to the
computer's temporary memory (RAM) via the RIB communication
link.
An acronym for Radio Interface Box. The RIB is used to connect to
a computer system to a radio for the purpose of communicating
between the radio and the computer. The RIB consists mainly of
level-shifting circuits that convert from the standard RS-232 voltage
levels of the computer asynchronous serial interface to the single-
ended voltage levels present on the Serial Bus contacts of the
radio's feature connector. In conjunction with the RIB, an
appropriate RIB-to-radio cable and RIB-to-computer cable must be
used.
An acronym for Radio Personality File. RPF is a file saved onto
disk as a data file.
An asynchronous, serial, data transmission standard that defines
the required sequence, timing, and hardware interface.
The transfer of information from the computer's temporary memory
(RAM) to a permanent storage medium (disk).
A set of instructions that tells the computer what to do.
