6 INTRODUCTION
This manual describes how to use the M7100
IP
Series Mobile Radio. The M7100
IP
is a synthesized,
microprocessor-based, high performance mobile FM radio providing reliable two-way communications in
the
E nhanced D igital A ccess C ommunications S ystem (EDACS
®
) and P25 Trunking environments, as well
as, conventional communication systems.
In the EDACS or P25 Trunked system mode, the user selects a communications system and group. In this
mode, channel selection is transparent to the user and is controlled via digital communication with the
system controller. This provides advanced programmable features and fast access to communication
channels.
In the conventional mode, the user selects a channel and directly communicates on that channel. In this
mode, a system refers to a set of channels. A channel is a transmit/receive radio frequency pair.
The exact operation of the radio will depend on the operating mode, the radio's programming and the
particular radio system. Most features described in this manual can be enabled or disabled through
programming. Consult the system administrator for the particular features that are programmed into the
M7100
IP
.
