SmartNet / SmartZone / P25 Trunked Features
- The called party does not answer. Press the Private Call option button or <F1> (Exit)
to end the call.
- If the selected radio ID is not valid, “Invalid ID” is displayed and an alert tone
sounds.
- If the radio system is busy, four low tones sound and “Busy” is displayed. When the
system is no longer busy, the call back tone (four beeps) is heard and the channel is
automatically acquired. Press the PTT switch to continue the call.
- If the call is in the secure mode and the radio does not have the proper encryption key,
“Key Fail” is displayed and the call must be made in the clear mode by pressing the
Clear/Secure option button or selecting that menu parameter (if strapped to
switchable). Otherwise, load the correct key.
4 When the call is finished or if it is not answered, end it by pressing the Private Call
option button or the <F1> (Exit) button.
6.3.3 Receiving a Private Call (All Types)
When a private call is received, “Call Rcvd” is displayed and the call tone sounds once.
To answer the call, press the Private Call option button or select that menu parameter and
then press the PTT switch and begin speaking. The unit ID of the calling radio is
displayed. More information follows:
- If the PTT switch is pressed before the Private Call option button, the call is
transmitted as a group call.
- If private calls are not permitted (the Private Call option button/menu parameter is not
programmed), press the Call Response option button or select that menu parameter to
answer the call.
- Ring times for both Tx and Rx radios are programmable in P25 Trunking, which sets
the maximum ring time of the target radio when receiving phone and unit-to-unit
calls. When this time expires, the call is automatically discontinued. Times of 61-120
seconds can be programmed with 61 seconds the default.
- The Private Call Maximum Int Ring parameter sets the maximum time the initiating
radio rings when placing a unit call (phone calls not included). Ringing stops if the
target radio answers before this timer expires. Times of 1-255 seconds or infinite can
be programmed, with 30 seconds the default. If infinite is programmed, ringing
occurs until the target radio answers.)
- If the system is busy when a response is made, the busy tone sounds.
