Key Features of BIIS 1200 Signalling

Transport, logistics, utilities, public safety... Those professional mobile users require efficient but cost effective systems for managing their organization. The BIIS 1200 standard is the best choice to add a data service to an existing system. The BIIS system provides AVL, text and status message services as well as voice communication.
What is BIIS 1200? BIIS 1200 (Binary Interchange of Information and Signalling ) is a signalling protocol standardized by ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards Institute). The protocol allows users to send and receive short status messages as well as messaging updates. The 1200 in the BIIS 1200 name signifies that data is transmitted at the high speed rate of 1200 bits per second (Baud) MSK modulation.

Lobs
CAUTION:
Guide rail When installing batteries, make sure they are all the same brand, type and capacity. Also, do not mix new and old batteries together. Keep battery contacts clean. Its a good idea to clean battery terminals once a week. Never incinerate used battery cells since internal battery gas may cause them to rupture. Never expose a detached battery case to water. If the battery case gets wet, be sure to wipe it dry before using it. Fig.1 BPBP-240
Battery caution
DANGER Charge the specified Icom batteries only. Only tested and approved for use with genuine Icom batteries. Fire and/or explosion may occur when a third party battery pack or counterfeit product is charged. CAUTION! NEVER insert battery pack/transceiver (with the battery pack attached) in a wet or soiled condition into the charger. This may result in corrosion of the charger terminals or damage to the charger. The charger is not waterproof and water can easily get into it. NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery gas may cause an explosion. NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE attaching it to the transceiver. NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack. Also, current may flow into nearby metal objects, such as a necklace, etc. Therefore, be careful when carrying with, or placing near metal objects, carrying in handbags, etc. AVOID leaving the battery pack in a fully charged, or completely discharged condition for long time. It causes shorter battery life. In case of leaving the battery pack unused for a long time, it must be kept safely after discharge, or use the battery until the battery indicator appears, then remove it from the transceiver. If your battery pack seems to have no capacity even after being charged, fully charge the battery pack again. If the batteries still do not retain a charge (or very little), new battery pack must be purchased.

2-Tone (LMR) Signalling
LMR (2-Tone) PMR (5-Tone/DTMF) BIIS PMR MDC LMR MDC PMR
What is 22-Tone Signalling? 1. Originally called Quick Call, this signalling protocol was developed by Motorola in the 1950s. 2. 2-Tone (Quick Call) was designed to add Squelch specificity especially for emergency service radios. 3. LMR consists of two distinct signals sent over the air to a radio or a group. 4. Each tone can be configured within a 250 Hz and 3300 Hz tone frequency. 5. Normally, the duration of the tones varies from one (1) to three (3) seconds in length no space between the tones. Tone lengths of up to 10 seconds are commonly seen in existing applications. 6. ICOM radios allow variable tone periods and spaces (no tone) between the tones. 2-Tone Features 1. Selective Calling allows the dispatch console to page an individual unit. Early models only allowed 1 (one) encoding tone set per channel or up to 3 (three) receive tones in the radio. Newer ICOM radios allows the programming of up to 10 (ten) tones that can be used all in one channel if necessary. 2. Group Calling - allows the dispatch console to page a group. 3. Answer Back Call Also known as Radio Check allows the dispatch console or another portable, to send a tone to a particular radio and when the target radio receives the tone it answers back with another tone. This function serves as a tool to verify if a unit is ON and within range. 4. Auto Transmit Also known as Radio Spy allows the dispatcher to send a 2-Tone signal to the radio causing it to open its transmitter microphone audio (Hot Mic) in order to listen to whatever is happening
in the proximity of the radio. This is also very useful in emergency cases where the user may not be able to trigger the microphone. 5. Stun/Kill This function allows the dispatch console to disable, temporarily or permanently, a unit using the 2-Tone capabilities. When Stun is used, the unit may regain its functionality by entering a password. When Kill is used, the radio only regains functionality by reprogramming the unit using the cloning software. 6. Scan Start/Cancel Using 2-Tone a dispatcher can send a signal to a radio or a group to commence the Scan function of the radio. If used with a group of users, this feature allows the dispatcher to regroup everyone in a different, but common channel. This feature is also known as Radio Regroup.
ICOM 2-Tone Radio Enhancements include:

1. RX Code Text Allows the programmer to add an Alpha Numeric text tag to each tone for identification at decode and encode if the unit has a display. 2. Variable Signals This allows the user/programmer to set the Beep and Bell to different formats for easier identification when a signal is received. 3. Tones Assignable on a Channel by Channel Basis The newer Icom radios allow the programmer to enter in ten (10) tone sets, which can be used for both encode AND decode if necessary. Each channel has the capability to use all tones for both encode and decode, if programmed correctly. 4. Multiple Tone Sets per Channel This also allows the programmer to set all ten (10) tones on a single channel if it was deemed necessary. Each channel allows a programmer to use a combination of tones per channel as needed.

5-Tone (PMR) Signalling
LMR (2-Tone) PMR (5-Tone/DTMF) BIIS PMR MDC LMR MDC PMR
What is 55-Tone Signalling? 1. Although it is dubbed as 5-Tone, this signalling protocol consists of a fast data burst of one (1) to seven (7) frequency tones that can selectively signal a radio. 2. Originally a European signalling protocol, 5-Tone has numerous formats such as: a. b. c. d. e. f. g. h. i. CCIR ZVEI1 ZVEI2 DZV1 EEA EEA2 DAPL EIA DTMF (Dual Tone Multi Frequency) *Check model for availability.
5-Tone Format Structure

1. Unlike 2-Tone, where the programmer must know the frequency to be used on each tone, 5-Tone does not require knowledge of the frequencies to be used. 2. Each digit in the sequence is already predefined with a specific frequency depending on the format selected in the Tone form section of the programming. 3. All the programmer needs to know is what format is being used and what code needs to do what. The system does the rest. 4. If there was a need, although it is not highly recommended, the tone formats can be modified to specific needs. 5. The 5-Tone Format section of programming allows the programmer to view and modify three (3) aspects of the 5-Tone format. 6. Tone Period - is the length of the encoded tone. 7. Notone Timer is the space required between tones for proper decoding (tone spread). 8. Tone Length is the time the radio takes to decode a tone. *** Re-emphasize ICOM strongly recommends that programmers do NOT alter any data in the Format screen
3. EIA is the International Open Standard set by the Electronics Industries Association. 4. 5-Tone adds specificity to the squelch abilities of commercial radios. Where to activate 55-Tone 1. Enable the radio in PMR mode by selecting the PMR Model in the Model section of the cloning software. 2. To create the 5-Tone TX list, click on the 5-Tone folder and select the TX Code CH icon. 3. In this section the user can create up to 32 encode able tone sequences. 4. Each of these tone sequences can be identified with an alias on the list.
31
5-Tone (PMR) Signalling
Why chose 55-Tone? 1. 5-Tone is a non-proprietary signalling protocol that allows the Icom radio to inter-operate with other brands using the 5-Tone signalling. 2. This protocol also allows a mixed fleet operation. 3. It is faster than 2-Tone by employing a quick data burst. 4. Customers are familiar with the protocol since it is an Industry Standard in USA, Europe, and Asia. 5. Many manufacturers built dispatch consoles with this capability. 6. 5-Tone offers flexible muting characteristics.
7. 5-Tone allows the PTT ID functionality on the radio. 8. As with 2-Tone, PMR also provides audible alerts, emergency signalling and Dispatch functionality making it a workable upgrade to an existing fleet.
***All these functions can be accomplished with individual radios also.

5-Tone Enhancements 1. The PMR model and radio functionality provides the programmer with RX Text identifiers. When a particular 5-Tone sequence is received, a radio with display will show the alias attributed to that tone sequence. 2. Where applicable, this radio also has flashing indicators, variable audible signals and beeps. 3. When transmitting a 5-Tone sequence, the radio can select from a programmed list with aliases in order to identify the code desired for TX. 4. PMR radios allow for TX code editing and the creation of a custom User Code that will allow the programmer to create a unique code for a customer. 5. The system also allows for a user to select the TX codes by assigning a button on the radio.
5-Tone Features 1. Selective Calling allows the dispatch console to page an individual unit. 2. Group Calling - allows the dispatch console to page a group. 3. Answer Back Call Also known as Radio Check allows the dispatch console to send a 5-Tone sequence to a particular radio and when the target radio receives the tone it answers back with another tone. This function serves as a tool to verify if a unit is ON and within range. 4. Auto Transmit Also known as Radio Spy allows the dispatcher to send a 5-Tone signal to the radio causing it to open its transmitter microphone audio (Hot Mic) in order to listen to whatever is happening in the proximity of the radio. This is also very useful in emergency cases where the user may not be able to trigger the microphone. 5. Stun/Kill This function allows the dispatch console to disable temporarily or permanently a unit using the 5-Tone capabilities. When Stun is used, the unit may regain its functionality by entering a password. When Kill is used, the radio only regains functionality by reprogramming the unit using the cloning software. 6. Scan Start/Cancel Using 5-Tone a dispatcher can send a signal to a radio or a group to commence the Scan function of the radio. If used with a group of users, this feature allows the dispatcher to regroup everyone in a different channel. This feature is also known as Radio Regroup.
