SMARTZONE
OPERATION
Busy Override
With the introduction of dynamic site assignment,
critical site, and critical user concepts in SmartZone,
the busy processing rules were changed to allow users
to communicate with some of the trunked mode
members instead of waiting for all trunked mode
members in all sites to be available. A busy override
request can be made to request for the grant, even
though one or more non-critical states are busy. Busy
override is not a radio codeplug option but is enabled
or disabled via the SmartZone manager.
After you have requested a mode by pressing the
PTT, and have received a busy indication
Always-Preferred Site
A SmartZone radio always attempts to stay on this
site whenever possible unless the receive signal
strength indication (RSSI) level falls below the
unacceptable level. The radio periodically checks
the RSSI levels of its preferred site(s) to ensure
that it always operates on the best preferred site
(more than one preferred site can be enabled).
Most-Preferred Site
A site marked in this fashion is one level of prefer-
ence below always preferred. The radio attempts
to remain on this site unless an always-preferred
site is determined to have either the same or a
higher RSSI level. The radio always determines
the best most-preferred site and switches to it
whenever possible.
Non-Preferred Site
A radio operating in this site switches sites if an
always preferred or most-preferred adjacent site
with the same or higher RSSI level is discovered.
The radio always determines the best non-pre-
ferred site and switch to it whenever possible.
Least-Preferred Site
A radio operating in this site switches sites if any
of the above site rankings for any adjacent sites
are discovered and their RSSI levels are at least at
the acceptable range. The unit always determines
the best least-preferred site and switch to it when-
ever possible.
1. Release the PTT and press it again. A busy
indication will be received if still busy.
