Supported Features
10. Inbound Call Alert directed to Console – a subscriber unit can direct a call alert over-the-
air to the Console via the Consolette on Conventional APCO and MDC channels. The
Consolette will receive it and pass it to the Console. The corresponding ACK will come
from the Console to the Consolette and is transmitted over-the-air back to the specified
subscriber with the Console's ID.
11. Extended Dispatch Operation – The Consolette supports a set of features needed for
typical Console operation. These features are allowed on Analog Conventional with MDC
and ASTRO P25 Conventional channels only. The Consolette does not act as a trunked
station, and as a result, these features are not supported on Trunking channels. To enable
this extended functionality, the Extended Dispatch Operation option (GA00469) must be
ordered and the field enabled in the radio CPS for each System. The Console user
interface for these messages is the same as its user interface for ASTRO conventional
channels.
NOTE: It is recommended that Scan operation not be used simultaneously with the Extended
Dispatch functionality. This is to prevent inadvertent responses such as ACKs on a
different channel than what the originating message was received on. Responses are
transmitted on the selected channel, not the scanned to channel.
4.15.3.2.1 Decode Functionality
When the Consolette receives a supplementary data transmission it is reported via the ACIM Link.
The features supported are based on the current selected air interface. The supplementary data
messages that can be received are:
• Status Update – a subscriber unit can send a status update over-the-air at any time. The
Consolette will receive it, decode it and provide it to the Console. The corresponding
ACK from the Console is then transmitted by the Consolette over-the-air back to the
specified subscriber.
• Message Update – a subscriber unit can send a message update over-the-air at any
time. The Consolette will receive it, decode it and provide it to the Console. The
corresponding ACK from the Console is then transmitted by the Consolette over-the-air
back to the specified subscriber.
4.15.3.2.2 Encode Functionality
When the Console users wish to transmit a supplementary data message to a subscriber in the
field, they do it in the same manner as for ASTRO conventional channels. The request is sent from
the Console to the Consolette which will then transmit the supplementary data over-the-air to a
subscriber. The features supported by the Consolette are based on the currently selected air
interface. The supplementary data messages that can be transmitted are:
• Status Request – allows the Console user the ability to remotely determine a specific
subscriber's status.
• Radio Enable/Disable – allows the Console user the ability to make unusable (Inhibit) a
specific subscriber and correspondingly restore a unit to normal operation (Un-Inhibit).
• Radio Check – allows the Console user the ability to remotely ping a specific subscriber.
• Remote Monitor – allows the Console user the ability to remotely put a specific
subscriber into transmit mode.
