F4 - MERGE TCMS
F5 - CLONE RADIO
F7 - SAVE ARCHIVE
F8 - PROGRAM RADIO
F9 - VIEW HISTORY
Reads the information (data) stored in the radio codeplug (EEPROM)
and transfers it to computer memory. A radio and RIB must be properly
connected to the computer and power turned on before you press this key. The
status of the READ operation will be displayed at the bottom of the
screen.
Note: The time required to read a codeplug will depend directly
on your computer type and the size of the codeplug you are
reading.
Retrieves an archive file from a disk and loads the data into computer
memory. Once it is retrieved, the file may be modified using CHANGE/
VIEW functions or programmed into a radio.
This function is used to update the codeplug information with
trunking information from the TCMS (Trunking Code Management
System). The required changes must first be entered into the TCMS
database through a TCMS terminal, and then downloaded using a
modem and the TCMS On-Line Field Programming (OFP) software
package.
Copies codeplug information from one radio to another. Only radios
with the same model number may be cloned. The screen summarizes the
individual ID information for both MDC and Trunking so that both
can be changed easily from the same screen. Trunked radios cannot be
cloned unless System Keys have been loaded for each Trunking system ID.
Creates (or updates) an archive copy of the codeplug information on a
disk. It is strongly recommended that you retain an archive copy of
every radio installed or serviced. You will then be able to quickly
restore customer information in case of a codeplug failure.
Transfers codeplug information from the computer to the radio
codeplug. A radio and RIB must be properly connected to the computer and
power turned on before you attempt this function. The status of the
programming operation is displayed at the bottom of the screen.
Note: The time required to program a codeplug will depend
directly on your computer type and the size of the codeplug you
are programming.
Provides all the information about the last time the radio was
programmed. This includes data on when and how the radio was
programmed.
If software versions of the radio and the current data are
!
not compatible, read the radio codeplug and enter the
data again. Conventional data can be entered from the
Caution
RSS screens or cloned from another radio.
