Purchasable Software Options; Configuration Safeguarding - Futurecom PDR8000 Manual

In addition, some consoles from Motorola Solutions also support the ability for a dispatcher to
selectively activate/deactivate the Repeat functionality of a digital conventional channel on a
per-talkgroup basis. So, if a channel is shared by two agencies, Agency A can control "Repeat
Enable/Disable" functionality for the talkgroups being used by Agency A, and Agency B can
control the "Repeat Enable/Disable" functionality for talkgroups under control of Agency B. This
provides a distinct ability for each agency to control the conversations on their respective work
groups, without affecting the ability of the other groups to communicate with each other. The
Motorola Solutions infrastructure can support up to 20 Conventional Talkgroups on a channel
when providing console connectivity and talkgroup-based Repeat Enable/Disable control.
When a Digital Conventional Channel is configured to support Conventional Talkgroup
operation in the Motorola Solutions system infrastructure, then this "per talkgroup" Repeat
Enable/Disable operation is used instead of the operation that invokes Repeat Enable/Disable
on the entire channel (previously introduced in 5.2.1). "Per talkgroup" repeat is only supported
on V.24 wireline interface.
Support of multiple Conventional Talkgroups on a channel and per-talkgroup Repeat
Enable/Disable is supported on Motorola Solutions ASTRO infrastructure releases 7.15 or later.

ONFIGURATION
There are many configuration aspects of the PDR8000 that are specific to a user's detailed
system deployment. Information such as the repeater's channel frequencies, access codes
(PL/DPL/NAC), and RF thresholds may be sensitive, and desired to be kept private by the
owner. To facilitate this, each PDR8000 can be password-protected by its administrator.
PDR8000 units are shipped without a password, but a password can be easily set within each
PDR8000 using the Futurecom Repeater Configurator (FRC) application. Once a PDR8000 has
a password set, it's configuration data is protected, and can only be read from or written to the
PDR8000 by someone having that unit's password.
If personality image backup or template files are created by the Futurecom Repeater
Configurator (FRC) for a PDR8000, those files can be encrypted, and protected using a user-
provided passphrase.
These methods allow PDR8000 configuration parameters to remain private, even when a unit is
left unattended, or shipped for service.
