3.2 RADIO PROGRAMMING
Unless otherwise stated, all radio installation and test procedures presented in this manual assume the
radio has been programmed by radio network administration personnel before it is delivered to radio
installation personnel. Programming instructions are beyond the scope of this manual.
Radio Personality Manager (RPM) software application TQS3385 (part number SK-104768-001) is used
to program the XG-25M mobile radio for trunked radio systems. TQS3385 can also be used to program
the radio for analog conventional and P25 conventional operations. For additional information, refer to
RPM’s built-in online help and/or RPM Software Release Notes, publication number MS-012550-001.
Conventional RPM software application TQS3389 (part number SK-012177-001) is used to program the
XG-25M mobile radio for analog conventional and P25 conventional operations. Trunking mode
programming is disabled in TQS3389. For additional information, refer to RPM’s built-in online help
and/or Conventional RPM Software Release Notes, publication number MS-012761-001.
Both RPM applications can also be used to flash program new operating software (i.e., firmware) into an
XG-25M mobile radio. Refer to the radio’s maintenance manual for additional information.
Both RPM applications also support other radios such as the M7100, M7200, M7300, and Unity
XG-100M mobile radios, and the P7100, P7200, P7300, Unity XG-100P, XG-75P and XG-25P portable
radios.
RPM Release R9A or later is required to program the VHF radio.
RPM Release R11A or later is required to program the UHF radio.
RPM Release R10A or later is required to program the 700/800 MHz radio.
The XG-25M mobile radio can be programmed via a serial port at the 44-pin connector on the rear panel
of the radio or
via a serial port at the front panel microphone connector. Programming instructions are
beyond the scope of this manual.
For programming via the rear panel serial port, Option Cable 14002-0174-08 must be used to connect the
radio’s rear panel 44-pin connector to the computer with RPM. A 9-pin DB-style connector of the Option
Cable is used for connection to the computer’s serial port.
For programming via the mic connector serial port, Front Panel Programming Cable 14015-0200-01 must
be used to connect the radio’s mic connector to a serial port of the computer with RPM. The 9-pin DB-
style connector of the Option Cable is used for connection to the computer’s serial port.
Programming via the mic connector’s serial port using Front Panel Programming
Cable has certain limitations! Refer to Section 11.3 on page 55 for additional
information.
