2.0 Product Overview
The AR
i
-195e is an advanced desk top ANI/Status decoder and display console featuring intelligent messaging
capabilities that works with your existing mobile radio system. The unit decodes DTMF, 5-tone and n-tone tone
sequences. When used in conjunction with the CES AR
i
-2000 easi-DISPATCH™ software system, the ARi-195e can
be operated in a multi-channel environment and can be programmed using the AR
i
-2000 software.
The device will display valid tone sequences (mobile identities, status messages etc.) transmitted by mobiles fitted with
compatible ANI and signaling modules. The base operator can view these tone sequences which are also stored in
memory for later retrieval. A parallel port allows the connection of a printer. Alternatively, the serial port can be used to
send the received sequences to the CES AR
i
-2000 easi-DISPATCH™ software system, or any compatible software
system.
2.1 Terms
ANI
ANI (Automatic Number Identification) within the mobile radio industry can be described as the process of
automatically identifying the current user of a radio channel. This is normally realized by the transmission of a rapid
sequence of tones when the user activates the radio microphone PTT switch, representing the preprogrammed mobile
users identity. This identity sequence is decoded and displayed by the AR
i-
195e and provides the dispatcher with a
visual indication of the current radio user.
The frequency and time period of these tones can comply with the international DTMF or Tone Sequential formats or
can be user programmable.
