This menu is used to create new files and set or
change the repeater operating parameters. The file-
name for the repeaters in this file is shown in the
lower left corner of the screen.
4.3.1 SETUP PARAMETERS
First see Section 4.3.4 to select repeater type to
setup LTR Parameters. This menu programs the
repeater parameters and options of each repeater at a
site. Table 5-1 lists the parameters that are set by this
screen (see Figure 5-1) and gives a brief description of
each.
NOTE: The parameters are shown in the lower left of
the pop-up screen for reference.
REPEATER NUMBER
Each repeater is programmed with a repeater
number from 1-20. Make sure that this number agrees
with the Home repeater number programmed in the
mobiles assigned to this repeater.
CHANNEL NUMBER
Each repeater is programmed with a channel
number (1-399), see Appendix A.
TELCO NETWORK TYPE
CIM to Repeater data signaling can be either
FSK, RS-232, or FSK Blank and Burst.
AREA
This is the same as the area bit used when pro-
gramming the mobiles. This bit is usually "0".
SYNC REPEATER
None is used for LTR system repeaters.
STAND ALONE
Select if the repeater is not connected to addi-
tional repeaters via the high speed data bus.
ID VALIDATOR
Not applicable at this time
CWID TIME
This is the time interval between transmission of
the CWID message (Disable, 1-60 minutes).
CWID MESSAGE
FCC regulations require that the station call let-
ters be transmitted periodically on the lowest- fre-
quency repeater in the system and disabled on all the
others. Morse code is used to encode these letters/
numbers for continuous-wave (CW) transmission (15
characters/numbers UPPER CASE).
LOCAL MIC ID
The local microphone connected to the MAC
jack is assigned a Group ID for transmitting when the
local microphone PTT is active. This allows the
Repeater to operate as a base station.
TEST MODE ID
The Group ID that is transmitted when the
Repeater is in the Test Mode. Mobiles with the same
Group ID can communicate with the Repeater in the
Test Mode (default for test mode is 254).
RF POWER LEVEL
This is the default power level. Enter the power
level (25-75 or 75-160) that the repeater will use for
transmit power.
NOTE: This is not the actual power out level. Other
factors must be considered for a true power.
POWER SOURCE
Indicates the primary type of power source to the
Repeater (AC or DC). When AC is selected and Bat-
tery Backup is installed, the transmitter goes to half
rated power (max.) in the event of AC failure. When
DC is selected and AC fails, the power output is
unchanged.
PAGING
This indicates if there is an optional paging ter-
minal connected to the repeater. This option is not
compatible with the LTR Data Modem, TIC, or VNC
options.
