5.11 SELECT ZONE/SYSTEM
A System is a group of channels or talkgroups that share a common set of parameters as
programmed using RPM2. For example, a Trunking system defines the parameters needed to
communicate on an infrastructure by agency or geographical region, such as WACN, System ID,
Talkgroups, etc. A conventional system defines the channel set used and any specific signaling
attributes (see RPM2 online help for more information on System attributes).
A Zone is an OPTIONAL
container
that can hold channels or talkgroups from a variety of systems
(see Section 6.3). In other words, each member of a Zone belongs to an underlying system. Zones
are always listed first in the Zone/System menu and are designated by the icon. A button on
the radio can be programmed to scroll through available zones/systems (see Section 7.5).
If enabled via radio programming, systems are not displayed in the ZONE menu,
only zones are displayed.
Or
To select a zone/system via the menu:
1. Press the Menu/Select button to access the menus.
2. Use the left or right navigation buttons to display the
ZONE
menu. The currently selected
zone/system is highlighted. A personality can have up to 512 systems and up to 250 Zones,
independent of banks or channels.
3. Use the up or down navigation buttons to highlight the desired zone/system. Press and hold
the up or down button to scroll repetitively; the menu wraps to allow quick access to a
zone/system.
4. Press the
VIEW ZONE
soft key to view channels in the zone/system or select the desired
zone/system using the Menu/Select button.
5.12 SELECT GROUP/CHANNEL AND BANK
The radio can be programmed with 1,250 talkgroups or 1000 channels per personality. Use the
Group/Channel knob to select groups/channels 1 - 16. Use the A/B/C/D switch to set the bank.
The selected bank is indicated on the display.
•
Bank A: Channel A1 - A16 (1-16)
•
Bank B: Channel B1 - B16 (17-32)
•
Bank C: Channel C1 - C16 (33-48)
•
Bank D: Channel D1 - D16 (49-64)
If your system has more than 64 groups/channels, a button on the radio can be programmed for
the SEL CHAN/GRP option. This allows you to select a “super bank,” providing access to
groups/channels beyond the first 64. ZONES have a limit of 64 entries per zone and cannot be
“superbanked.”
