TX
Audio is digitised and converted into a 128kbps bitstram by the

ADC. This is fed into the Vocoder which samples the bitstram and
compresses the audio. Data is fed into the Vocoder when needed.
Forward Error Correction is also addded here.

THE DIFFERENCE WITH DIGITAL

What end users will experience with Digital Audio:
Consistent performance throughout coverage area with no
gradual fade at the fringes.
Digital sounds different.
Background noise reduction.
What end users will NOT experience with Digital Audio:
Digital radio or CD quality.
Digital cannot solve historic problems.
Digital is still influenced by the same physics of analogue.
FEATURES
GROUP CALL
Digital Group Call is a way of enabling groups to share a

channel without distracting and disrupting other radio users.
Both transmitting and receiving radios must be on the same

logical channel (frequency and timeslot) and Talkgroup.
One-to-many call type
PRIVATE CALL
Private Call allows a radio user to directly communicate with
another radio user, even if they are not within the same
Talkgroup.
Private Call allows one-to-one communication between
transmitting and receiving radio.
For example, an employee may use a Private Call to privately
alert a specific manager about a security incident, rather than
placing a Group Call that would be heard by the whole group.
One-to-one call type
ALL CALL
All Call is a one way voice communication between one radio
with all radio users within the same logical channel.
This feature is particularly useful when a supervisor needs to
communicate to all radios within the same logical channel
(frequency and timeslot) rather than individual groups or users.
All Call follows the admit criteria of the selected channel.
One way voice communication

PHONE CALL
Radio users are able to make telephone calls.

Radio users can receive (individual) phone calls
Phone callers make phone calls to a MOTOTRBO Talkgroup.
Phone call is either routed via an Analogue Phone Patch or
Application Partner solution.
RADIO DISABLE
This feature allows a supervisor radio to disable another radio
via over-the air signaling.
The disabled radio displays blank screen and is unable to make
or receive calls.
Once disabled, the radio can only be enabled via CPS or by a
Radio Enable command from another supervisor radio, on
condition that the radio is within coverage of the site at which
it was disabled.
This feature can be used to stop any inappropriate use of
radio, or to stop stolen radio from functioning.
Disable radio 0000001

RADIO PASSWORD
Optional 4 digit password used during radio power up to
protect radios from unauthorised usage.
Radio will remain locked for 15 minutes upon 3 bad password
entries.
CALL ALERT
This feature allows the initiating radio to essentially page
another radio user.
When a radio receives a Call Alert, a persistent audible and
visual alert is given and the callers ID is shown on the display.
If the user presses the PTT a Private Call to the initiator of the
Call Alert is started.
Call Alert 00000002
RADIO CHECK
This feature allows the initiating radio to check if a target radio
is active within the system without notifying the user.
The target radio automatically and silently responds with an
acknowledgement to the initiating radio.
Message received
Check 00000003
REMOTE MONITOR
This feature allows a remote user to activate a target radios
microphone and transmitter for a period of time.
A call is silently set up on the target radio, and its PTT is
controlled remotely without any indications given to the end
user.
This feature is used to ascertain the situation of a target radio
which is powered-on, but is unresponsive.
Used in situations such as theft, incapacity of the radio user or
allowing the initiator of an emergency call to communicate
hands-free in an emergency.
Remote monitor 00000004

EMERGENCY
MOTOTRBO radios allow a user in distress to send out a
confirmed emergency alarm message and emergency voice to
any radio or group.
The emergency alarm message contains the individual radio ID
of the initiator.
The emergency can be sent on a separate channel known as
the revert channel.
For IP Site Connect systems, Manual Site Roam is supported
while in an emergency.
EMERGENCY
The way in which the radio acts when the emergency is
pressed can be configured in the CPS.
When radio enters emergency state, it will attempt to transmit
emergency location response if the radio is a GPS model.
LONE WORKER
Lone Worker provides a way to monitor if a radio user has
stopped activity:
If there has been no user activity for the predefined
Response Time period, the radio sounds a warning tone.
If there is still no user activity for the predefined Reminder
Time period after the warning tone, the radio immediately
raises an Emergency.
Response Time and Reminder Time are programmable via CPS.
This feature is also available in Analog (MDC) mode.
Useful in cases where the user is working alone, operating
machinery, or carrying out a security patrol.
PTT ID
Whenever a user presses the PTT, the radios identity is sent and
is displayed on all receiving radios with displays. The signalling is
embedded in the transmission.
LATE ENTRY
Allows a radio to join an existing group call if it is switched on
after the call was set up.
The signalling used to set up a call is periodically resent during
the conversation.
DCDM
Double Capacity Direct Mode is a
feature which allows two slot
operation on simplex no
repeater.
Complies with ETSI TS 102-361 13 v2.1.1.
One radio is selected to either
always generate synchronisation
or to be a preferred candidate for
synchronisation.
Timing
Leader
DCDM
If more than one radio is a preferred
candidate, an arbitration process
decides which in range radio
generates a synchronisation to other
radios.
Synchronisation is propagated to radio
outside the coverage area.
If a radio is set to never generate
synchronisation then it will never go
Preferrred
through the arbitration.
Timing
Leader
Preferrred
DCDM
Only supported in firmware R2.x
It is recommended to enable this on fixed stations if available
as this would have an effect of battery drain.
BASIC PRIVACY
Basic (voice and data) Privacy is enabled using a noncryptographic algorithm (software scrambling) to protect
information.
Its primary purpose to thwart eavesdropping, however it will
not provide resistance against more sophisticated hacking
attempts.
ENHANCED PRIVACY
Enhanced Privacy provides a higher level of protection
Multiple 40 bit keys
Cryptographic algorithm (ARC4)
Protects each super frame in a different manner
Basic and Enhanced Privacy are not interoperable with each
other.
Highest level of encryption available without export licensing.
AES ENCRYPTION
Provides a much high degree of security compared to
Enhanced Privacy.
256 bit key length.
Group static cypher key no PRC or KVL.
New keys can sent via OTAP.
EAR9900NR ECCN so cannot be exported to certain countries.
Supported by DP/DM/SL4000 series only.
RESTRICTED ACCESS TO SYSTEM

Prevents unauthorised radios from using a repeater.
Two methods can be used together or alone:
RAS key
Radio subscriber ID range check
Supported by all MOTOTRBO system architectures
Conventional single site (including DMM)
IP Site Connect
Capacity Plus and Linked Capacity Plus
RESTRICTED ACCESS TO SYSTEM

Repeater software
Supported on both 8Mb and 32Mb DR3000s
No licence required only software upgrade
Repeater verifies key
Repeater transmits with key

TX radio sends key
RX radio checks key
TRANSMIT INTERRUPT
Allows a radio to de-key an ongoing interruptible voice
transmission from another radio and applies to all call types.
Emergency Voice Interrupt allows the radio to break an
ongoing call to allow its own emergency call.
Remote Voice Dekey can be sent to a radio which is
blocking the channel.
Data Over Voice Interrupt allows a 3rd party application to
break into a call to send data.
By default MOTOTRBO gives preference to voice traffic.
ENHANCED GPS
GPS is a standard feature in all DPxxx1 and DMxxx1 radios.
GPS is sent based on a location request which either:
1.
2.
3.
Tells the radio to send a GPS update every X minutes

Tells the radio to send a GPS update if it moves more than Y meters.
Tells the radio to send GPS immediately.
The difficulty with this is that GPS updates are, by default,

uncoordinated resulting in a certain number of data collisions.
Enhanced GPS allows radios to access the channel in a
synchronized manner, eliminating collisions.
ARS
ARS is a data message sent by a radio to a server or
application when:
It radio switches on
The user moves to another channel
The radio roams to another site
ARS can be disabled or customised if desired.
IP REPEATER PROGRAMMING
IP Repeater Programming allows the CPS to program / upgrade a
repeater and activate CPS features in a repeater remotely via an
IP network.
The repeater hardware must have the 32Mb memory chipset.

GNSS (GLOBAL NAVIGATION SATELLITE SYSTEM)

MOTOTRBO supports GPS; GLONASS and BDS location
tracking.
Radios which have a 1 at the end of the model name have a
built-in GPS/GLONASS receiver.
This receiver can be used to report the location of the radio.
GNSS
Motorola uses LRRP for location tracking.
The location request originates from the tracking application.
Only one location request is needed to make the radio send
continious updates.
GNSS
DM4401 and DM4601
Separate GLONASS models
Possibility of future retrofit kit.
DP3441 DP4401; DP4601 and DP4801(Ex)
Separate GLONASS models.
SINGLE CSBK DATA

Allows a GPS location update to be compressed to a single CSBK
packet:
a) Standard GPS: 90 updates per minute per slot.
b) Enhanced GPS: 180 updates per minute per slot.
c) Single CSBK/Enhanced GPS: 448 updates per minute per slot.
CODEPLUG PASSWORD PROTECTION

As of R2.3A it possible to define a read-write password.
If this password is not known, the radio will have to returned to
Motorola!
No backdoor password, no Wireshark hack!
Its maybe better to have a read password only.
TEXT TO SPEECH
This allows a prerecorded message to read out on a target
radio upon receipt of a predefined text message.
DMR STANDARD TEXT MESSAGING

Allows the radio to optionally send and receive text messages
as per ETSI TS102-361-2.
This allows the radios to send and receive text messages from
other vendors equipment.
ANALOGUE SCRAMBLING
Initally only available on the Entry Level models.
Now available on all second generation models.
Frequency inversion scrambling.
SIGN IN / OUT
If set up, the radio user can sign in and out of the radio system
by entering a password.
The radio then sends an ARS message based on this.
BACKLIGHT
Configurable backlight.
AUDIO ENHANCEMENTS
Now possible to tweak the audio for various
conditions...
AUDIO ENVIRONMENT
This allows the user or technician to choose an environmental
audio profile.
Selecting Loud option boosts the RX volume by around 8dB.
Workgroup applies a different dynamic range compression
algorithm to the audio which is best suited for noisy office
conditions.
To block user access un-tick audio profile in the menu.
AUDIO PREFERENCE
This allows some customisation of the DSP audio processing
to suit different user preferences:
Level 1:
Level 2:
Level 3:
Treble Boost: higher frequencies are boosted
Mid Boost: mid-range frequencies are boosted.
Bass Boost: Low frequencies are boosted.
TRILL ENHANCEMENT
This allows the technician to enable Trill Enhancement.

Trill Enhancement improves the voice quality for languages
that have an alveolar trill sound (also known as a 'Rolling R').

QUESTION 4
QUESTION 5
What is de-sensing and how would we confirm the presence
of it?
QUESTION 6
What would be the consequences of de-sensing and
interference on the site?
How would this differ between Capacity Plus and IP Site
Connect?
QUESTION 7
How does Manual Site Roam work in IP Site Connect?
QUESTION 8
One of the circulators in the
combiner goes open circuit.
What will happen?
How would we know this?
(symptoms, indication, RDAC etc.)
QUESTION 9
A radio used on an IP Site Connect System, is switching
between sites too slowly (i.e. Radio stays on site 1 while site 2
offers a very good signal).
What can be changed in the configuration to improve this?
QUESTION 10
In Capacity Plus, what would be the result of setting the RSSI
Threshold in the repeater to -124dBm?
QUESTION 11
What would be the result of setting the RSSI Threshold in the
Radios channel to -124dBm?
QUESTION 12
You have set up a system so that the repeaters can be
programmed remotely. However when you connect to the
Master using the CPS, you are unable to read any of the
repeaters. The system works perfectly and port forwarding is
set up correctly. You are able to ping all the Routers. You are
able to connect to the Master and can get the list of peers and
their respective IP addresses using RDAC.
What could be wrong here?
QUESTION 13
Whenever you are in the office, and try to read a radio, the CPS
gives error code 595. When you go onto a customers site or
work from home, the CPS works perfectly.
What is the problem here?
QUESTION 14
You have installed a Capacity Plus system and plan to install
the location tracking application later. You have enabled GPS
and ARS in the radios. Is this okay to do? Why?
QUESTION 15
A customer has a PMKN4012A programming cable. They plug
this cable into the PC but cannot understand why a driver is
NOT installed. Why is this?
They then connect a DP3400 and can read-write this radio.
When they connect a DP4400, they cannot. Why is this? How
can we fix this?
QUESTION 16
A customer calls you and complains that the location of one of
their vehicles is about 100m off the road while the drivers
swears he is on the road. What could be the reasons for this?
QUESTION 17
Does the DP4801 support an Arabic user interface?
QUESTION 18
A MOTOTRBO system has been installed and it is found that
there is overlap between one of the sites and a site owned by
another company. As a result, users from your system can
sometimes be heard by users at this company.
What can be done to resolve this?
QUESTION 19
A customer wants to implement MOTOTRBO but they also
want to use their analogue two-way radios until they have
budget to replace these. They have purchased a repeater and
some MOTOTRBO radios.
What can be done in the repeater and radios to support
MOTOTRBO and analogue users?
What do we need to be careful about when it comes to the
configuration?
QUESTION 20
A customer has unfortunately bought some Songshing FL888
DMR radios. Which of the following will/may not work?
Private Call
Group Call
Text Messaging
Transmit Interrupt
DCDM
IPSC Roaming
Capacity Plus
DISCUSSION
LINKED CAPACITY PLUS

Combines the channel management of Capacity Plus with the
wide area service of IP Site Connect.
Supports up to 15 sites with 8 repeaters per site of which a
maximum of 6 can be trunked.
Requires no site controller but a router(s) should be used.
Not necessary to have the same number of channels per site!

Like IP Site Connect, one repeater is set up as a Master.
The Master repeater (and Router) must have a static IP
address.
Like Capacity Plus, each site has a rest channel.
You do not need to have the same number of channels on each
site!

Private call setups are dynamic: only the site where the called
parties are located light up. (i.e. a voice channel is busied).
Group calls are static: sites on which the group call is to be
relayed, is fixed (pre-programmed). This means that the group
call is relayed on a site whether there are users there or not.
Remember there is no site controller!

Site 5
Site 1
IP Backbone
Site 4
Site 2
Site 3

Requires 32Mb repeaters.
Requires Linked Capacity Plus licence.
Requires R02.10.xx firmware or later.
LINKED CAPACITY PLUS EXERCISE
LINKED CAPACITY PLUS EXAMPLE

Your favourite customer has called to say that some of the
channel on their radio system are constantly busy and that he
spoke to your colleague, who mentioned that Linked Capacity
Plus may be able to solve this.
Describe what is required to migrate this customer to Linked
Capacity Plus?

How would Radio Management and OTAP help you make the
change to Linked Capacity Plus easier?
How would you use RDAC to provide (virtually) uninterrupted
radio communications during the changeover?

Program the repeaters.
Program the radios.
Test the system.

DISCUSSION
CONFIRM YOUR UNDERSTANDING
QUESTION 1
Linked Capacity Plus can support up to how many channels
per site?
QUESTION 2
Can Linked Capacity Plus support data revert channels?
QUESTION 3
Is it possible to link an IP Site Connect system into a Linked
Capacity Plus System?
How?
QUESTION 4
If the Master Repeater in a LCP system fails, what will happen?
QUESTION 5
A customer wants to add his DP1400 to a Linked Capacity Plus
system, what does he need?
QUESTION 6
The TX power on a LCP system is set to 10W and provides
around 10km (radius) coverage for portable users.
The power on the repeaters are now increased to 25W. What
will the resulting coverage be?
A. 25km
B. 17km
C. No change (i.e. 10km)
D. 33,3333km
QUESTION 7
A customer calls to complain about bad audio quality close to
the repeater site. You investigations reveal that the RSSI is low
here. Your tests reveal that there is nothing wrong on the site
and that the problem existed since day one.
The repeater site is on top of a 50 storey high rise; the antenna
is a four stack dipole with no reflected power; the repeaters
are connected to the antenna system via a cavity combiner
with 2,5dB loss; the multicoupler has no loss. The repeaters
are working perfectly and there is no interference.
What is the root cause?
QUESTION 8
How many talkgroups can you have on a LCP system?
QUESTION 9
How many radios can you theoretically have on a LCP system?
QUESTION 10
What are the deciding factors for choosing:
A. Single Site
B. IP Site Connect
C. Capacity Plus
D. Linked Capacity Plus
E. Connect Plus
