Multiple MicroCom Systems
Each separate MicroCom system should use the same Group
and Security Code for all beltpacks in that system. Pliant
recommends that systems operating in proximity to one
another set their Groups to be at least ten (10) values apart.
For example, if one system is using Group 03, another system
nearby should use Group 13.

• Listen-only beltpacks must use the “L” ID. You may
duplicate ID “L” on multiple beltpacks.
• Shared beltpacks must use the “S” ID. You may
duplicate ID “S” on multiple beltpacks, but only one
shared beltpack may talk at a time.
• When using “S” IDs, the last full-duplex ID cannot be
used (“08” in Repeater Mode).
