Chapter 6 System Overview

System overview explains what type of systems and modes available in the radio.
6.1 Conventional Analog and Digital Modes
Each channel in your radio can be configured as a conventional analog or conventional digital channel. Certain features are unavailable when switching from digital to analog mode and analog to digital mode, whereas some are available in both.
There are minor differences on how each feature works but they do not affect the performance of your radio.
6.2 IP Site Connect
This feature allows your radio to extend conventional communication beyond the reach of a single site by connecting to different available sites by using an Internet Protocol (IP) network.
When the radio moves out of range from one site and into the range of another, the radio connects to the repeater of the new site to send or receive calls or data transmissions. This is done either automatically or manually depending on your settings.
In an automatic site search, the radio scans through all available sites when the signal from the current site is weak or when the radio is unable to detect any signal from the current site. The radio then locks on to the repeater with the strongest Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value.
In a manual site search, the radio searches for the next site in the roam list that is currently in range but which may not have the strongest signal and locks on to the repeater.
NOTE: Each channel can only have either Scan or Roam enabled, not both at the same time.
Channels with this feature enabled can be added to a particular roam list. The radio searches the channels in the roam list during the automatic roam operation to locate the best site. A roam list supports a maximum of 16 channels, including the selected channel.
NOTE: You cannot manually add or delete an entry in the roam list. Contact your dealer for more information.

6.3 Capacity Plus
Capacity Plus is a cost effective and entry-level digital trunked system. It expands the capacity and extends the coverage for single and multi-sites. The single and multi-sites dynamic trunking offers better capacity and coverage.
NOTE: If you try to access a feature not applicable to Capacity Plus –Single-Site or Capacity Plus–Multi-Site by using a programmable button, you hear a negative indicator tone.

Capacity Plus–Single-Site
Capacity Plus–Single-Site is a single-site trunking configuration of the MOTOTRBO radio system, which uses a pool of channels to support hundreds of users and up to 254 groups.
This configuration allows your radio to efficiently utilize the number of available programmed channels while in Repeater Mode.
Your radio also has features that are available in conventional digital mode, IP Site Connect, and Capacity Plus.

Capacity Plus–Multi-Site
Capacity Plus–Multi-Site is a multi-channel trunking configuration of the MOTOTRBO radio system, combining the best of both Capacity Plus and IP Site Connect configurations. It is also known as Linked Capacity Plus.
It allows your radio to extend trunking communication beyond the reach of a single site, by connecting to different available sites which are connected with an IP network. It also provides an increase in capacity by efficiently utilizing the combined number of available programmed channels supported by each of the available sites.
When your radio moves out of range of one site and into the range of another, it connects to the repeater of the new site to send or receive calls or data transmissions. Depending on your settings, this is done automatically or manually.
Automatically
Your radio scans through all available sites when the signal from the current site is weak or unable to detect any signal and locks on to the repeater with the strongest RSSI value.
Manually
Your radio searches for the next site in the roam list that is currently in range which may not have the strongest signal, and locks on to it.
Any channel with Capacity Plus Multi-Site enabled can be added to a roam list. Your radio searches these channels during the automatic roam operation to locate the best site.
NOTE: You cannot manually add or delete an entry in the roam list.

Chapter 7 Zone and Channel Selections

A zone is a group of channels. You can program each channel with different features that support different groups of users.
Table 12: Number of Supported Zones and Channels
