A cable that allows the radio to be connected (interfaced) with a host
computer for programming or tuning.
Software purchased by Motorola product resellers through a license
agreement that is delivered on a 3-1/2" diskette(s) and used to program
two-way radios with a unique set of features called personalities.
Random Access Memory. A PC's RAM is used to store the contents of
the current workspace. 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 in order to provide the user
with immediate feedback. These changes will not become permanent
in the radio's codeplug until the radio is programmed.
The means by which a radio's codeplug information is transferred
from the radio's EEPROM to the workspace via the RIB.
The center of the receive channel in MHz.
File management function which enables copying from one computer
file to another existing file (i.e., from back-up to working copy).
Radio Interface Box. Used to connect a computer system to a radio for
the purpose of communication between the radio and the computer.
The RIB consists of level-shifting circuits that convert from the
standard RS-232 voltage levels of the computer's 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.
The highest or topmost directory level of a computer disk or diskette.
An asynchronous, serial data transmission standard that defines the
required sequencing, timing and hardware interface.
See "Radio Service Software".
Scan is the process by which the radio checks receive frequencies
stored in a list for activity. If activity is found, then the radio is locked
on that frequency until the frequency is no longer active.
A screen contains four rectangular areas, one of which (the working
area) contains a list of fields (features) that can be viewed and
programmed by the RSS user by pressing certain keyboard keys. Also
see "Menu".
See "Port".
Systems used to alert radio operators or to perform specific functions
using the radio.
A radio circuit which eliminates noise from the loudspeaker when a
"received" signal is not present.
A group of related files that are located on a hard disk or diskette. Sub-
directories are used to organize your disks. Also see "Path".
