Enter the four-digit hexadecimal for primary unit ID or use the UP/
DOWN arrow keys to select a primary identification code from 1 to
DEEE. The digit F is not allowed in the ID. The primary identification
code (PID) is in Binary Coded Decimal (BCD) format and indicates
which unit on the network sent the message. All out-bound messages
will be sent with this identification code.
The default is 0001.
Enter a hexadecimal value or use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select a
secondary identification code from 0 (zero) to 0EEE EEEE for the
terminal. The digit F is not allowed in the ID. This is the secondary ID
assigned to the radio unit by the host.
The default is 0000 0000.
Enter the ID directly. The Variable Unit ID is a three-digit hexadecimal
number ranging from 0 (zero) to EEE. The digit F is not allowed in the ID.
The Variable Unit ID is used to group radios so that several radios will
decode the same Selective Call or Call Alert. On a system that uses
fleets and groups, the first digit of the variable ID represents the fleet
and the last two digits of the ID represent the group, that is,
Variable ID = FGG
Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable the unit identification
data packet transmission at the beginning of each transmission (BOT).
If this feature is enabled, the radio will automatically send the radio's
unit identification code to the dispatcher each time the microphone
PTT is pressed. If PTT-ID sidetones are enabled, a continuous alert tone
will sound as soon as you press PTT and will continue until the data
packet(s) has been sent. The user must wait until the tone stops before
he or she begins talking.
The default is Enabled.
This field will be visible only if the leading PTT-ID field is set to Enabled.
Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to enable/disable PTT-ID Sidetones.
During transmission of data packets, the microphone and all voice
transmission is automatically disabled. PTT-ID Sidetones are used to
indicate to alert the user of end of transmission so that he or she may
begin to talk.
If PTT-ID Sidetones are enabled, a continuous alert tone will sound as
soon as the PTT is pressed and will continue until the data packet(s)
has been sent. The user must wait until the tone stops before he or she
begins talking.
The default is Enabled.
