MSU Group Services Programming Requirements
The “Group Text Messaging Service” in the corresponding Trunking system screen has to
be set to ‘Full Decode’ in order to enable the Group Text Feature in the MSU.
To enable the Group Alias Update feature, the MSU must have the ‘OTA Radio Alias Type’
set to ‘Decode Only’ in the corresponding Trunking system screen.
The MSU may have Group Text Messaging Services and / or Group Alias Update disabled
so it will not store group texts and update its UCL but will still pass along the group texts
and alias updates to the DVRS and its affiliated PSUs.
Exporting MSU data (.xml file)
Once the MSU is programmed for DVRS operation, the data needs to be exported by
using the Motorola CPS “DVRS Export” option in the Codeplug menu. The standard CPS
Export Data option cannot be used for DVRS programming purposes.
Programming the PSUs for DVRS Operation
The programming of the PSU depends on the PSU type and user requirements. The
following paragraph describes the programming options related to DVRS operation for the
3 main types of PSUs
– Analog, P25 Digital (Generic), P25 DVRS Enabled.
The following PSU models have modified firmware that allows them to operate as DVRS
Enabled:

Table 10 DVRS Enabled PSU Models
All other P25 capable PSU models or the above models with older firmware versions can
only be programmed as ‘P25 Generic’ since they are not capable of enhanced
communications with the DVRS.
NOTE
:
APX MSUs
can also be programmed as ‘DVRS Enabled’ and used to communicate
through a DVRS provided they are NOT interfaced to a DVRS.
