Page 9: Chapter 1 Overview
Chapter 1 Overview This chapter defines the GW_RSP25 module and its role in the GenWatch3 product. This chapter contains the following sections: • What is the GW_RSP25 Module?: Defines the GW_RSP25 module and its role in the GenWatch3 solution. • EF Johnson Digital Transceiver: Describes the EF Johnson radio hardware and proper installation practices. -
Page 10: Antenna
Motorola. Power Genesis offers a power supply for the Motorola XTL series radios. This power supply includes a place to mount the Motorola XTL series radio. To ensure reliability, an uninterruptible power supply (UPS) should be considered. -
Page 11: Antenna
Antenna The radio must be installed within range of the trunk system’s control channel. A high gain, Yagi-style directional antenna is recommended for all installations. Good coax design is required between the antenna and the radio. In order to minimize phasing interference in a Simulcast trunking system, the use of a Yagi directional antenna is of utmost importance. -
Page 12: Programming
Programming The XTL series radio must be programmed with only the following features. Any additional features may prohibit the radio from functioning as an RF Modem. Figure 1.1 – Required XTL Series Radio Programming 600-2.16.15-EE.1... -

Chapter 2 Managing P25 Connections This chapter gives instructions on how to manage GW_RSP25 connections. This chapter contains the following sections: • P25 Connections: Describes GW_RSP25 connections. • Connections Properties: Detailed description of the GW_RSP25 connection properties. P25 Connections Each connection shown in the Connections list, in the left of the GW_RSP25 GUI, represents a connection to a packet source. -
Page 14: Updating A Connection
Updating a Connection In most cases, after you configure a GW_RSP25 connection, you will not need to update it. However, you can update the GW_RSP25 connection properties if you make a data entry error or if the settings change for some reason. To update an existing connection, take the following steps: 1. - Page 15 o Millennium + TCP/IP: When selected, the connection will automatically use the next available XTL Series Digital Transceiver connected to the machine via USB. Each packet received is then echoed via TCP/IP on the specified Port. • Port Number*: When using Serial or Serial + TCP/IP input, defines which COM port to use for this connection.

Page 17: Non-Millennium Channel Settings
Non-Millennium Channel Settings The channels within a P25 trunking system are grouped using up to 16 unique identifiers. Each identifier represents a base frequency/channel-spacing pair and is used in conjunction with a channel number. In order to translate this information into a frequency, the GW_RSP25 module requires the following information about each identifier used by your system: •... - Page 18 • System Deviation RX: Defaults are 2.5 KHz for P25, 4.0 KHz for NPSPC and 5.0 KHz for interleave analog. Values include: o 0 KHz: Not known to be used. o 2.5 KHz: Used on P25 systems. o 4.0 KHz: Used by NPSPC systems. o 5.0 KHz: Used by analog interleave systems.
- Page 19 • Control Channels # RX/TX: Control channels used on this system. Control channel values must be entered in hertz. Most control channels are shown in megahertz, so you may need to multiply the number by 1 million to determine the hertz value. All eight control channels must be provided. Please note: o If your system uses only one control channel, repeat that control channel value for each channel;...

Page 20: Reason Codes
Reason Codes The CAI used by P25 systems defines two types of reason codes. Within each type, certain values are defined by the CAI and others are defined by manufacturers and users. • Deny Reasons: Unit requests service/call that is denied by the system. User or system defined values: 91-239 &... - Page 21 Figure 2.3 – Reason Code Window Reason codes can also be imported from a .CSV file. To import a file, click the Import… button above the desired list and the Import Codes window appears. The title will denote which set of codes you are importing. In Figure 2.4 the Import Deny Reasons window has been opened for Deny codes.
- Page 22 Figure 2.4 – Import Deny Reasons window Click Browse and locate the file you wish to open. When you open the file, the list of reason codes from the file will be displayed in the grid. The grid can be used to make sure the list is complete.
