Remote Control
There are two types of remote control, Short Data Service (SDS) Remote Control and Status Remote
Control.
4.6.7.1
Status Remote Control
Status Remote Control is a feature that provides limited control of the radio, unlike Short Data Service
(SDS) Remote Control.
Only one type of remote control can be active on a radio; either SDS or Status.
The following tasks can be assigned remotely to a radio:
Play loud tone until user interaction
The radio plays a loud tone as in the Man Down feature until you unlock the keypad (if needed) and
press the appropriate soft key labeled
Exit
. The tone is played through the speaker even if an
accessory is attached.
The tone is not emitted when the radio is in one of the following states:
• In a call
• Temporarily disabled
• Pseudo Off Mode
• Ambience Listening Mode
• Transmit Inhibit Mode (TXI)
• Emergency Mode
• Silent Emergency Mode
• Covert Mode
Send firmware version and TEI
The radio sends back an SDS message with its firmware version and TEI.
NOTICE:
If the sending Individual Short Subscriber Identity (ISSI) is not on the Allowed ISSIs
list, the receiving radio ignores the task.
