The MMI enables the operator to perform any desired action easily and efficiently, for example,
select the desired operating mode, define or modify the parameters to be used on each preset
channel, etc. Many improvements based on user feedback have been incorporated in the MMI, as
a part of an ongoing evaluation program.
In addition, Micom-Z radio sets enable PC control and programming, via an RS-232 interface.
• Robust, Reliable Link Establishment. Micom-Z radio sets support Automatic Link Establishment
(ALE) per MIL-STD-188-141B (the required software is supplied embedded as a standard), ALE
operation is very simple, and can be easily used even by unskilled operators.
In addition, Micom-Z also supports CCIR 493 SelCal (selective calling) with 4-digit and 6-digit
addressing per UN-WGET Interoperability Agreement, and beacon calls.
Both ALE and CCIR 493 SelCal are interoperable with all the major suppliers supporting the
standards. When operating in the ALE or CCIR modes, Micom-Z provide an over-the-air remote
disable function: an authorized radio set can transmit a command to a radio which has been lost
or stolen to disable all the radio programmable parameters.
• Internal GPS Receiver. The Micom-Z can be ordered with an optional integral Global Positioning
System (GPS) receiver. In addition to presenting the GPS information on the display, the ALE
AMD or the CCIR 493 Recall GPS call messaging platforms can be used to enable any station to
generate a request for GPS location from any other station in the network.
The GPS receiver uses a compact, light-weight patch antenna with magnetic mount.
• High Reliability and Cost-Effective Logistics. The modular, 3-board design of the Micom-Z
family, with its high MTBF and low MTTR, offers outstanding reliability in field conditions and
cost-effective logistic support.
A comprehensive multilevel built-in test (BIT) subsystem helps the user to identify faulty
modules in the field, and ensures complete functional testing after module replacement. The BIT
also provides valuable information to higher echelon maintenance personnel, without requiring
module-level test equipment.
The Micom-Z family is based on a common transceiver, available in two mounting versions:
• Dash-mount version – a transceiver with
built-in front panel, for fixed and mobile
applications.
• Trunk-mount version – a transceiver with a
separate control box that is similar to the
dash-mount front panel but requires an
external speaker, saves valuable cabin space
in mobile use.
