If the system received the page but the called
mobile is not on the air, a single beep sounds and
“NO ACK” is displayed 6 seconds after the PTT

5.15.7 MESSAGING
The messaging feature* allows preprogrammed
messages to be sent to a dispatcher on P25 channels.
Up to 16 messages can be preprogrammed, and they
are identified by an alias. If a
MSG (
Message) option
switch is programmed, messages are sent as follows:
1. Momentarily press the
MSG
option switch. The
alias of the last message sent is displayed.
2. If required, rotate the Select switch to display the
desired message. Then send the message by
momentarily pressing the PTT or Select switch. One
of the following events then occurs:
•
If five beeps sound and “ACK RECVD” is
displayed, the message was received and automat-
ically acknowledged by the system.
•
If after five tries the message is not acknowledged,
a tone sounds and “NO ACK” is displayed.
5.15.8 STATUS MESSAGING
The status messaging feature* allows you to
manually or automatically send your current status to
your dispatcher on P25 channels. Up to eight status
conditions can be preprogrammed, and they are identi-
fied by an alias. If the
STATUS
option switch is
programmed, status conditions are sent as follows:
1. Momentarily press the
STATUS
option switch. The
alias of the current status condition is displayed.
2. To change the current status, rotate the Select switch
until the desired status is displayed. Then to send the
status, momentarily press the PTT switch. One of
the following events then occurs:
•
If five beeps sound and “ACK RCVD” is
displayed, the status was received and acknowl-
edged by the system.
•
If after five tries the message is not acknowledged,
a tone sounds and “NO ACK” is displayed.
5.15.9 P25 PACKET DATA
P25 packet data transmission capability is avail-
able with later model** 5300 mobiles. A
DATA
option
switch must be programmed to toggle the data mode
on and off.
The P25 Packet Data mode allows a subscriber
unit to act as a packet data modem for a remote appli-
cation connected to the subscriber unit via an RS-232
or SLIP (Serial Line Internet Protocol) connection.
The SLIP connection requires an Ethernet port which
is currently not available.
A special Data Pigtail Cable, Part No. 597-2002-
282, is installed in the radio to provide the RS-232
port (female DB9 connector) for connecting the
external data equipment to the 5300 mobile.
5.16 KEYPAD PROGRAMMING
NOTE: The Keypad programming feature is available
to Federal Government users only. Users regulated by
the Federal Communications Commission are not
allowed to have this feature. With ARM code 1.22 or
later, this feature must be factory enabled to be
selected. This was not required with previous code
versions.
5.16.1 INTRODUCTION
Keypad programming is available on Federal
radios if the
PROG
option switch is programmed. It is
then selected by simply pressing that switch (password
entry is not required). The keypad programming mode
is indicated by “CHNG ZONE” and a triangle in the
display as follows:
Keypad programming allows conventional
channel parameters such as the transmit and receive
frequency and Call Guard squelch code to be changed.
In addition, several conventional mode timers can be
changed. It cannot be used to reprogram disabled
channels or any SMARTNET/SmartZone/P25
Trunked information.
