SECTION 8 DETERMINING AVAILABLE OPTIONS
8.1 GENERAL
This manual describes the operation of all
features that are currently available for the 41xx radio.
However, many of these features are optional and
therefore may not be available in your radio. For
example, Project 25 trunked operation is optional and
may not be available.
Availability of optional features is controlled by
factory programming of the control logic. Only those
features that are specifically ordered and enabled in a
particular radio are available for use and can be
programmed. The features controlled by factory
programming are as follows:
P25 Options
•
P25 conventional data
•
P25 trunked data
•

•

DETERMINING AVAILABLE OPTIONS
•
DTMF Keypad support (4100 only)
•
Zonefail site lock
[1] 4100 radios require that this option be enabled to roam
across zone controller boundaries.
Currently, the only operating mode that is stan-
dard with all models is the conventional analog mode.
Other variables such as frequency range are hardware
dependent instead of software dependent.
8.2 UPGRADING A RADIO WITH NEW
OPTIONS
The capability exists to upgrade radios in the field
with new features. A new feature can be purchased
and a special encrypted code string keyed to the ESN
(Electronic Serial Number) of the radio is then
provided by the E.F. Johnson Company. This string is
in the form of a computer file, and is downloaded to
the radio using the PCConfigure programming soft-
ware. This is initiated by clicking the "Update
Options" button on the Radio Options screen shown in
Figure 8-1.
8.3 USING PCCONFIGURE TO DETERMINE
OPTIONS
To determine what software options have been
enabled in a particular radio, it is recommended that
you use the PCConfigure™ programming software to
read and display what options are installed. Proceed as
follows:
1. Connect the computer to the radio and start the
program as described in the documentation included
with the PCConfigure software.
2. Select the 41xx radio type by selecting menu
parameter Radio > Series > 4100 Portable.
3. To display the Radio Options screen shown in
Figure 8-1, select Transfer > Read Options From
Radio.
4. The check boxes indicate which options are enabled
in the radio. They are for informational purposes
only and cannot be edited.
