Individual ID
Failsoft Type
A/G Failsoft
A/G Failsoft Frequency
Talk Permit Tone (not shown)
Time-Out Timer
Contains the Individual ID number that uniquely identifies your radio
on a particular system. Valid IDs range between 1 and FFFF. The
decimal equivalent of the Individual ID is used for your radio's Private
Conversation Call ID (7 + ID#), interconnect land-to-portable unit
calls (7 + ID #) and interconnect land-to-portable talkgroup calls (7 +
ID #).
For Type II Trunking, your radio will have a single Individual ID for each
system independent of the number of talkgroups, user groups or personalities
it is affiliated with on that system.
When the Central Site Controller fails in a Trunked system, the system
goes into Failsoft operation. Depending on the type of system, there
will be different choices for Failsoft operation:
Disabled No failsoft used.
Personality/Fleet Uses the Announcement Group Failsoft frequency for
all talkgroups within the personality.
Talkgroup/ The frequency is determined by the talkgroup selected
Subfleet and is entered in the TRUNKING TALKGROUP/
SUBFLEET screen (F4/F4/F4/F7).
Failsoft by Talkgroup is NOT available with WAC AMSS
type.
WAC AMSS The Failsoft frequency depends on which AMSS site
the radio is using at the time. The frequencies are
entered using the F6 function key.
Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable Failsoft for this
talkgroup. When the Central Site Controller fails in a Trunked system,
the system goes into Failsoft operation. If the radio is set to Failsoft by
Talkgroup, the radio will use these frequencies to transmit and receive
on.
This field will be visible only if the A/G Failsoft field is set to Enabled. Enter
the Failsoft Frequency directly in MHz. A transmit and receive frequency
each are required if the system is UHF or VHF.
Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable this option. Set this
field to Enabled if you want the Talk Permit tone to sound every time
the PTT key is pressed. The talk permit tone is a series of three quick
tones that sound once the PTT button has been pressed and your radio
has keyed up on the voice channel assigned by the Trunked central
controller. You may begin talking immediately.
The default is Disabled.
Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the desired Time-Out Timer
(TOT) value for this personality. The TOT determines the amount of
time the radio can continuously transmit before it must be de-keyed.
When the time is about up the radio beeps and then stops
transmitting. Each personality may choose one of four different TOT
values. The four values for the radio can be changed on the RADIO
WIDE OPTIONS MENU (F4/F3/F2/F9).
The default is 60 seconds.
