Hard-Drive Space: Minimum 20 MB RAM: Minimum 256 MB USB version is ordered as the CAD-100U, CAD-200U or CAD-200EU. Serial DB9 version is ordered as the CAD-100, CAD-200 or CAD-200E. Serial to Ethernet Option (decode only) is available (CAD Option B).
Assign calls fairly. In addition to decoding ANI and ENI, Midian’s CAD-100 and CAD-200 offer selective calling for functions such as individual call, group call, disable/enable, etc. These functions can be used with Midian’s UED series products or with a radio capable of these functions.

Another important note regarding 5-Tone signaling is about the tone timings. Under no circumstances should a tone time of less than 30 msec ever be used, as this greatly reduces the reliability of decoding the tones. Midian recommends using 33 msec or higher.
HARDWARE INSTALLATION Be certain to follow standard anti-static procedures when handling Midian products. For installation instructions for a particular radio, please consult Midian’s application notes for the CAD if available. P1-1 – Ground – Connect to ground in the base station.
Twist: For DTMF systems modulate the RF carrier with 697 Hz and 1633 Hz tones in succession. Adjust R5 until the 2 tones at U2 Pin 3 are approximately the same size. Output Level: Start the CAD-100/200 software and command the unit to send data. Adjust R78 for a deviation of ±2.8-3.0 KHz on the system transmitter.
Traffic Logging: If checked the CAD software will log all traffic to a log file. The first time the software is launched a log folder will be created in C:\Program Files\Midian\Cad_v3_xx. Each time the CAD is used and traffic is received the software will output the traffic in ASCII format to a log file in this location.

Modem Tab: Note: Prior to writing to the modem, the RX Input must either be quieted or disconnected. If there is noise present at the RX Input during modem programming, it may interfere with programming and result in EEPROM corruption. Modem 1-4: The CAD software can support up to 4 different CAD modems connected to different ports on the COM Port: Select the COM Port that the CAD modem is connected to on the PC.

Transmit Tab: Key-Up Delay: The range of this field is 0.0 to 9.9 seconds. This sets the amount of time the CAD waits for the base station radio to key-up prior to generating tones. Forced Encode Length: The range of this field is 0-8. This sets a number of digits that the CAD must send for each call.
Page 10
Input Tab: COR Polarity: This sets the active polarity that the CAD looks for from the radio to indicate channel busy. The CAD uses the COR for busy lockout and to validate a decode to reduce falsing. Squelch Polarity: This sets the polarity that will mute the base station radio from the moment that the COR detects carrier until completion of the ANI.

Output Tab: Modem Output Enable: Not used at this time. Emergency Status Enable: Not used at this time. Emergency Duration: Not used at this time.

Decode Format: Select from the drop down menu the desired decode format. Time 1: Set for 0.000 to 9.999 in 5 msec increments. For DTMF Midian recommends a time of 1.000, this allows for an inter-digit time of 1 second which allows for automatically encoded or manually encoded DTMF tones to be decoded by the CAD.

Status Tab: System Status: This allows a System Status Message to be renamed or translated into a different language by entering the desired message in the Message column next to the original message. General Status: This allows a General Status Message to be renamed or translated into a different language by entering the desired message in the Message column next to the original message.
OPERATION Main Window: File Menu: Here the user can print and import subscriber and other databases. Window Menu: Enables the user to change which windows are displayed on the screen. Traffic Log Window: The information in this screen will show system activity in chronological order with the most recent being at the top of the screen.

Query: Select the unit to be queried and then click the query icon. This will send a query or radio check command to field units capable of this feature, which will in turn cause the radio to send an acknowledgement to the dispatcher to verify the radio is transmitting and receiving.
Page 16
Subscriber Response Window: When using the Query function this window will show if a subscriber responded. The response will also show in the traffic window. Big Display Window: For easier viewing incoming calls can be displayed in the Big Display with the Unit ID being shown in the top box and the Subscriber name (alias) being shown in the bottom box.
Page 17
SUBSCRIBERS Name: This is the alias for the Unit ID that will be displayed when a Unit ID is decoded. Serial Number: This field can be filled with the serial number of the radio. This field is for informational purposes. Group ID: Enter the Group ID in this field if using a Group ID in addition to the Unit ID.
Page 18
Transmit Modem: This should be set to the desired modem that was set up in the CAD Setup > Modem. Transmit Group ID: If selected the Group ID field becomes available and when calling a unit it will send the Group ID plus the Unit ID.
Page 19
Enable Auto Check: If checked the CAD will add this subscriber to the Auto Check queue. The subscriber must be programmed with a Query ID. Enable Decode Alert: If selected the CAD will play an audible alert when the CAD decodes this subscriber. Decode Alert Audio File: A wav file can be selected from the PC to be played for the Enable Decode Alert function.
TECHNICAL NOTES Radio Compatibility: Midian has taken the utmost care to ensure the CAD integrates with the radio with minimal impact to the features of the radio. However, some features may not be available in the radio when a CAD is used.
