Foreword This edition of the ASTRO™ Radio Service Software (RSS) user’s guide contains revisions and updates made in support of all ASTRO RSS bearing the Software Part Number 6085A, particularly ASTRO RSS version R05.00.00. Although the new RSS contains other changes, this update is primarily driven by the introduction of ASTRO System Release 3.0 and Motorola’s new ASTRO Digital Portable radio: the XTS 3000.
Important Note on ASTRO SABER vs. ASTRO XTS 3000 About ASTRO XTS 3000 ASTRO XTS 3000 is an addition to the family of Motorola ASTRO Digital Portable radios. Like its predecessor the ASTRO SABER radio, the ASTRO XTS 3000 can be programmed using the ASTRO Portable Radio Service Software. Only a handful of subtle RSS feature field and screen differences are visibly evident between the two types of radios. These variations are noted in the appropriate screen views captured in this manual.

1 Getting Started Welcome to the ASTRO Radio Service Software application! This Radio Service Software (RSS) manual is your guide to customizing and programming a variety of features into an ASTRO radio. Modern microprocessor chip technology used to manufacture this radio and the ASTRO RSS (a computer program, which when interfaced with a radio, electronically programs a radio) make it possible for you to personalize a radio with a unique set of features for each individual customer. No tools are needed.
Prerequisites To program radios using the RSS, we recommend a basic working knowledge of the following: • Microcomputers • The radio’s available features (Refer to the appropriate Radio Operator’s Manual.) • Your customers’ needs • MS-DOS operating system, version 5.0 or later The ASTRO RSS requires a minimum of 510 kilobytes of free RAM to run. (The DOS CHKDSK command can be used to determine the amount of free RAM available on your computer.) DOS 5.0 is required.
Using This Manual The ASTRO RSS Manual is designed to teach basic radio feature programming and to speed up access to technical reference information. It is intended for both beginners and advanced users of the RSS.
Assembling The Hardware The figure below shows how to assemble the required (and optional) equipment used to program an ASTRO radio. Portable Products Test Set - P/N RTX4005B or later or RTX4005A (with Rework Kit RPX4665A) or later RIB Power Supply 01-80357A57 or later (110 Vac) Power Supply or 01-80358A56 or later (220 Vac) Power Supply Using the power supply is more reliable than using a weak battery.
Steps to Connect the Hardware 1. Connect the RIB-to-computer cable to the communications port of the computer (9-pin end). 2. Connect the other end (15-pin end) into the RIB Box. (If your computer has a 25-pin connections port connector, you will need the cable 3080369B71 to connect the RIB-to-computer cable to the computer.) 3. Connect the 25-pin end of the RIB-to-radio cable to the RIB box, and the 9-pin end to the side connector of the radio. 4.

Anatomy of a Menu The RSS consists of several multi-level menus that will take you to screens where you can change the choice or value of a field. The only difference between a menu and a screen is nature of the information that appears in the working area (marked by the letter C in the figure below). A menu or screen has four areas, labelled below as A, B, C and D. MOTOROLA Radio Service Software ASTRO Model: Select Function F1 - F10.
Navigating Through The RSS Menus Every action of the RSS is controlled by you through the use of formatted displays and function keys. Under each menu or screen title, you will find a sequence of F-keys (or Function keys) such as DCE . This sequence represents the path from the MAIN MENU to that specific menu or screen. To access the desired menu or screen, simply press these keys one by one from the MAIN MENU.
Anatomy of a Screen The only difference between a menu and a screen lies in the contents of the working area. MOTOROLA Radio Service Software ASTRO Model: Enter or Scroll to Select Frequency.

Repeat Mode Access Ack and TOT Tones In this version, you will NOT be able to change the setting for the VRS-EP Repeat Mode feature. The Repeat Mode option indicates the manner in which the VRS-EP will repeat or re-transmit signals to the portable radios within the area of operation. Where more than one VRS-EP unit will be involved (Multi-unit VRS-EP operation), all participating units must be programmed with the same Repeat Mode.
In Car Monitor Default Operator Select ICM In this version, you will NOT be able to change the setting for this feature. The In-Car Monitor (ICM) Default feature allows the selection of an operational mode for use in Vehicular Repeater System—Expanded Protocol (VRS-EP) activities during which a party remains in the vehicle. In such activities, the user who remains in the vehicle with the VRS-EP is given a certain set of transmission capabilities depending on the ICM Default selection.
Conv PPI Timing (sec) Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the Conventional Portable Priority Interrupt (Conv PPI) value. The Conv PPI Timing value indicates how frequently the Vehicular Repeater System—Expanded Protocol (VRS-EP) searches for possible Repeater Portable Priority interruptions on a Conventional Mode. During Conventional PPI operation, the VRS-EP will quickly ‘listen’ for possible portable radio activity during any transmission originating from the base.
VIP Logic Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the desired Vehicle Interface Port (VIP) Logic. There are two possible choices: Active Open The Vehicular Repeater System—Expanded Protocol (VRS-EP) unit will be activated when there is no connection between the two VIP pins, meaning the VIP switch is in the open position. Active Closed The VRS-EP unit will be activated when the VIP pins are shorted together, meaning the VIP switch is in the closed position.
Since the Tx PL frequency serves as the transmission PL, it should never be set identical to any of the VRS-EP's receive PLs. With Mode Steering operation disabled, there's only one such receive PL to consider. This is the Access PL Frequency/Code. With Mode Steering selected however, multiple receive PL's may come into play. In this case, the PLs to consider are the PL Frequencies/Codes on the MODE STEERING screen (F7 of the current screen), other than those set to “None”.
Access PL Freq Enter the Access PL (Private-Line) frequency directly in Hz or, if accessing the frequency entry's alpha-numeric code field, enter the desired PL code. The UP/DOWN arrow keys may also be used to scroll through the standard frequencies or codes, all of which are shown below. The PL code may also be selected by pressing the key corresponding to its first letter and then scrolling to select the exact code.

Field Definitions Max CAI Data Tx Attempts This field will be visible for Mobiles only. Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the Maximum Transmit Attempts per Common Air Interface (CAI) Data Packet or enter a value directly. If the radio fails to receive a positive acknowledgment to a confirmed packet transmission, it will attempt to re-send the confirmed CAI data packet.
This value should be set to the maximum over-the-air data packet duration. For instance, for a maximum CAI packet size of 512 bytes, the value should be set to 750 ms. The value for Data FSSP may range from 0 to 5000 ms in 50-ms increments. Note: For proper operation on a channel with ASTRO voice present, this field should be set to no shorter than 200 ms due to the ASTRO voice frame size.
If the Common Air Interface (CAI) data packet to be transmitted is an acknowledgment, this timer represents the MAXIMUM time that the radio will wait after it detects a BUSY Channel Status Symbol to recheck the Channel Status Symbols for permission to transmit. This value may range from 50 to 1000 ms in 50-ms increments. Increasing this value reduces the potential of collision with other radios attempting to transmit data (seize the channel), but it also increases channel access delay.

? Glossary AMSS Automatic Multiple Site Select. A feature that enables radios to operate beyond the reach of a single repeater site. Radios equipped with this feature may be able to operate over large geographic locations. ANI Automatic Number Identification. Used to number access/release codes that are frequently used for system management and billing purposes. ANI numbers can be programmed by the RSS and cannot be changed in the field. ASCII American Standard Code for Information Interchange.
Auto-Affiliation The ability of radios in a Type II or Type IIi Trunking system to automatically transmit their talkgroup and unit ID information to the Central Controller. Affiliation occurs after the radio has locked on to the control channel frequency. It does not require that the user of the radio press PTT. Automatic Multiple Site Select See “AMSS”.
group of radios of an incoming call. Channel Scan will not take place until the Call Alert or Voice Sel Call is cleared. Since Call Alert signals are acknowledged, dispatchers can verify whether targeted radios have received their signals. Call Alert Decode A series of tones sounded to alert the user to an incoming page. Call Light A visual indicator that flashes when a Call Alert or Voice SelCall is received.
Continuous Assignment Updating The ability of the Motorola Trunked system to ensure that a radio just coming into service will be sent to the appropriate voice channel to join the rest of the Fleet, Subfleet or Talkgroup. Once a group has been assigned a voice channel, the control channel will continue to transmit the voice channel information for that call for the duration of the call.
Default Standard radio settings. Also refers to standard settings that the RSS uses for input/output (I/O) port locations, file locations, display settings and other field values.The value a field will automatically contain if a user does not change it Default Drive The disk or diskette drive that the RSS will use to get or save data or files. You can change the default drive from the SERVICE SOFTWARE CONFIGURATION MENU (F9). De-key Turning the radio transmitter to the off position.
Failsoft (F/S) A pre-assigned channel. In the event that the Central Controller should fail, the radios in the system will enter a “Conventional” Failsoft channel. Each Trunked repeater in the system will key and transmit a data word informing every radio in the system that the system has gone into the Failsoft mode and communication will act as a Conventional radio repeater.
HearClear™ An advanced audio processing technology that reduces noise and provides crisp, clear audio. It can enhance reception even in marginal conditions. This type of processing is only used in Motorola 900 MHz systems and is not used in Motorola 800 MHz systems. Home Channel The channel the user was on prior to pushing the SCAN button. Home Revert The channel the user will revert to when PTT is pressed while in scan mode unless the scan talkback feature is enabled.
Mode A collection of personality values, such as frequency, PL codes and scan lists. A mode is assigned a number or name that is displayed on the front panel of the radio. Personality values are in effect for the mode displayed. May also be referred to as “channel” or “zone”. Mode Number The number assigned to a particular mode. Mode Slaved Term used to describe features that are associated with a particular mode.
Personality File A file that contains the data to be stored in a radio’s EEPROM. This file contains information such as receive frequency, transmit frequency, squelch code, and so on. Pop-up Window A message area that overlaps on a data entry/display area; used to indicate a data entry error or to verify destructive commands and provide function key choices for the next course of action. Also known as the Dialog Box.
into the radio. The user will hear only those transmissions encrypted with his or her radio’s individual key. Quik-Call II A two-tone sequential tone signalling system or format typically used in portable and paging products. RAM Random Access Memory. Used by the computer to store the program it is executing. The radio’s RAM is loaded with a copy of the EEPROM data. The program will sometimes write to the radio’s RAM to temporarily change certain features such that the user can get immediate feedback.
READ The means by which a radio’s codeplug information is transferred from the radio’s EEPROM to the workspace via the RIB. Receive Frequency The center of the receive channel (usually represented in MHz). Recent User Priority The ability of the Motorola Central Controller to ensure uninterrupted communications to a recent user of the Trunked system. Recent User Priority ensures that a group engaged in a conversation will get priority access even if there is a significant delay between transmissions.
Site De-registration The automatic site “sign-off” by the radio when the user roams to another site or selects a talkgroup on a different system. This notification alerts the system control equipment that the channels at the site will not be used by that radio until it returns to that site. SMARTNET™ A type of Trunking system primarily used in support of public safety and industrial communication systems. This type of system has emergency and dynamic regrouping capabilities.
Talkback Scan Allows the operator to respond to a call on the same channel as the call was received during the talkback time in scan. When the scanner is stopped on a busy channel and the microphone is removed from the hang-up clip, the radio will remain on the busy channel and transmit on the busy channel when PTT is pressed. Talkgroup A group of users in a Type II or Type IIi Trunking system.
system. The Type II system handshaking does not include sending Acknowledge Tone and High Speed Handshake. Type IIi A type of Trunking system composed of Fleets, Subfleets and Talkgroups. This Trunking type supports both Type I and Type II Handshaking. This Trunking type also allows Type I radios to communicate with Type II radios on the same voice channel. Universal ID A particular personality in a radio unit which is chosen as the one whose Trunking identity will always be used to address this unit.
