INTRODUCTION Welcome to Motorola’s CDM Series family of radio users. The CDM1550•LS+, the Intelligent Radio, combines the very latest in two-way technology while delivering outstanding functionality at the touch of a button. The CDM1550•LS+ mobile radio operates on PassPort and LTR trunked and conventional radio systems. TRUNKED RADIO SYSTEMS PassPort is an enhanced trunking protocol developed by Trident Micro Systems that supports wide area dispatch networking.
by making repeaters available to all users after every transmission. CONVENTIONAL RADIO SYSTEMS Conventional radio systems typically refers to unit-to-unit communications through a single channel. Conventional systems also allow radio users to extend communication coverage by relaying their messages through a repeater. To ensure coordinated use by multiple talkgroups, each radio user must monitor the channel or repeater before transmitting to verify that the system is not currently busy.

PASSPORT TRUNKING PassPort is an enhanced, wide-area trunking protocol developed by Trident Micro Systems. Up to 128 trunked sites can be linked together to form one PassPort system, which means that your communications can extend far beyond the reach of a single trunked site. SEAMLESS ROAMING Initial Registration Before communications with your talkgroup can begin, your radio needs to register on the PassPort system.
Note: If the radio performs a more extensive frequency search in order to attempt successful registration, you may see on the display: SEARCHING 4 Upon successful PassPort Registration, you see: REG SITE XXX Note: Your radio sounds a “Low-High” tone upon successful PassPort System registration. The XXX number indicates the site within the PassPort system on which you have registered.
3 The selected PassPort talkgroup alias appears and remains on the display. TLKGRP ALIAS The display indicates the Home Site Number (HSID) and Mobile Identity Number. IAM XXX-YYYYY XXX indicates the HSID, YYYYY indicates the MIN. SITE/MIN VIEW There may be circumstances when you want to view the number of the PassPort site on which you are registered as well as your Mobile Identity Number (MIN). Note: This message can be activated if the radio is not registered.
ROAM REQUEST Because of the RSSI feature, the CDM1550•LS+ radio automatically roams to a different site when the signal from the registered site becomes too weak for quality communication. This RSSI threshold is programmed by your dealer. However, if you believe the signal strength would be better on another site, you may want to manually initiate the roaming process. This feature is called Roam Request. To Start a Roam Request 1 Press the preprogrammed Roam Request button (see page 25).
4 The selected PassPort talkgroup alias appears and remains on the display: TLKGRP ALIAS To Cancel a Roam Request 1 Press and hold the preprogrammed Roam Request button (see page 25) again. You see: Note: Cncl Roam Req TROUBLESHOOTING While in PassPort zones, there are some specific display messages that indicate you should contact your dealer for assistance.
