September 2001
Part No. 001-5100-001
Transmit - Not programmable because the transmit
frequency is dynamically assigned over the
air (“Trunked” is always displayed).
Receive - Dynamically assigned like the preceding
transmit frequency.
Enable This Channel - Not used because SMART-
NET/SmartZone channels are always
enabled if set up. To disable a channel so
that it is not selectable, choose the conven-
tional type and do not check this box.
Copy Parameters From Channel - If another channel
is selected in the box, the parameters from
that channel are copied to the new channel.
Channel Type
Channel Type Box
- Selects the specific system from
which the channel is selected. All programmed
systems are displayed by number and type (conven-
tional, SMARTNET, SmartZone). When a different
channel type is selected, the screen for that type of
channel is automatically displayed.
Other Screen Parameters
System Specific Information
- With SMARTNET/
SmartZone systems, indicates the system ID
programmed on the system General screen (see
Section 3.6.2).
Talk Group
- Selects the talk group selected by that
channel. Talk groups are programmed in the Talk
Group screen described in Section 3.6.5.
Announcement Group
- Selects one of up to three
announcement groups selected by the channel. Refer
to “Announcement Group Screen” in Section 3.6.7
for more information.
Emergency Group
- Selects the talk group used for
emergency calls.
Talk Permit Tone
- When enabled, a short tone
sounds after a request for a group call has been
approved by the main controller. This indicates that
speaking can begin. When disabled, no audio feed-
back is used to indicate when speaking can begin.
System Scan
- Selects the Priority Monitor Scan list
selected by the channel (see “Priority Monitor Scan
Screen” description in Section 3.6.7). If “No Scan
List” is programmed, scanning is not selectable on
that channel.
Auto Scan
- When enabled and a channel is selected,
the radio automatically begins scanning the scan list
associated with that channel. When disabled, scan-
ning can only be started manually by the Scan option
switch.
3.7 PASSWORD OPERATION
3.7.1 GENERAL
The 50xx portable radio can be programmed with
a Power-Up and Programming password. If the Power-
Up password is enabled, it must be entered each time
power is turned on to make the radio operational. This
prevents unauthorized use. The Programming pass-
word must be entered to access the keypad program-
ming feature of the radio. This prevents unauthorized
reprogramming of the transceiver. Currently, the 50xx
portable is the only transceiver that is programmed
with the PCTrunk software that utilizes password
access. More information on these two passwords
follows.
3.7.2 POWER-UP PASSWORD
The Power-Up password function is enabled on
the Radio-Wide General screen described in Section
3.4.2. This password must then be entered each time
transceiver power is turned on. In addition, since the
radio resets after downloading or uploading data, it
must be entered after performing those functions (see
Sections 3.3.3 and 3.3.4). When entering the pass-
word using the radio keypad, enter the eight password
digits and then press the
ENT key. If an error is made,
press the
CLR key to start over.
To enable the power-up password function on the
programmer screen, the Power-Up password must be
entered. This prevents the radio from being
programmed with an unknown password which would
make it inoperable. The password is a series of eight
numbers, and it is programmed by clicking the
“Change Password” button on the Radio-Wide
General screen. The default password is eight zeros
(00000000), and it may need to be entered as the “old”
password if applicable. The password can also be
