Shadow Groups (Address Bundle); Text Messages - Motorola MTP830 S Product Information Manual

36 | Services and Features
provisioned with the targeted status and you want to send an SDS status message, the following possible actions
apply:
• When the default address type of targeted SDS status is set to Private or Phone, the default address is used as
ISSI, GSSI or ISDN, depending on configuration.
• When the default address type of targeted SDS status is set to group, the selected talkgroup address is used.
• When the targeted SDS status is set to `Dynamic`, the status message is sent to the address configured for the
Dynamic statuses, or defined by a dispatcher (by means of SDS Remote Control).
The radio accepts status messages from addresses it is monitoring. The radio can be preprogrammed with an
appropriate text associated with each status value. The radio notifies when a new status message has been received.
Upon receiving an incoming status message, the stored text corresponding to the status value is extracted and placed
in the text message buffer as a text message. Receiving a status causes the radio to display the message mail screen,
allowing the user quick access to read the message. A received status can be stored in the radio text message buffer.
The PEI provides access for external applications to send and receive status messages.

Shadow Groups (Address Bundle)

The Shadow Groups feature offers a way of sending statuses to multiple destinations or recipients simultaneously.
Each radio can store up to 255 Address Bundles.
Three types of Address Bundles are supported:
• Status Addressing (including emergency alarm)
• GPS LIP Addressing
• RMS/FMS Addressing
Shadow Groups in TMO
Each Address Bundle may contain up to four target addresses (ISSI or GSSI). Each talkgroup may be configured to
send statuses, GPS LIP reports or RMS/FMS messages to a specific Address Bundle.
Shadow Groups in DMO
In DMO the Address Bundle contains one target address (ISSI or GSSI). Each talk group may be configured to send
statuses or GPS LIP reports to a specific Address Bundle.
The Shadow Groups feature may affect Emergency Calls setup time to be slightly elongated.
This is a selling feature.

Text Messages

The radio supports an internal text messaging application using the TETRA SDS Transport Layer. The radio can send
and receive up to 140 bytes of payload data (which can be up to 160 characters, if a 7-bit encoding is used).
Depending on radio settings, for each message in the Inbox , the following options are available:
• Store – used to save the message as a template.
• Delete – used to remove the message from the list.
• Delete All – used to remove all the messages from the list.
• Reply – used to send a reply to the message originator with the option to edit the text (where available).
• Forward – used to send the current message to another recipient with the option to edit the text.
• Refresh – used to reorder the messages list and see the newest at the top. When you are in the Inbox and the new
message comes, refresh the list to see the new message.
The radio provides an edit facility for composing and editing a text message. The message can be sent to a target
TETRA radio using SSI addressing, and is sent with a request for a received delivery report.
All the outgoing text messages (short or long) are stored in Outbox, when the store and forward mechanism is not in
place. When the store and forward feature is enabled and the messages go through the store and forward server, the
