5.14.10P25 Packet Data
P25 packet data transmission capability is available with model 5100 ES portables. A P25
Packet Data option button or menu parameter 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 application connected to the subscriber unit through an RS-232 or Serial Line
Internet Protocol (SLIP) connection. The SLIP connection requires an Ethernet port. The
standard PC Configure programming cable provides the RS-232 port (female DB9
connector) for connecting the external data equipment to a 5100 ES portable.
5.15 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.
Keypad programming can be enabled only if it has been enabled at the factory and a
conventional mode option switch or menu parameter is programmed for the Keypad
Programming function. The keypad programming mode is indicated by “Chng Zone” and
in the display.
