1.7.2 Personality Module
The radio comes equipped with a Personality Module. The Personality Module
feature consists of an SD card and the radio’s capability to read and write
configuration information to that card. The Personality Module can be used for
disaster recovery for a failed radio site to bring it back into operation.
In the event of a failure, the SD card can be removed from a the radio that is no
longer operational and inserted into a new radio. When booted, that new radio
will take on the setting from the Personality Module, bringing the site back into
operational status without the difficulty of reprogramming all the necessary
settings manually. This will increase the uptime of the network.
