Steering Destination Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the Steering Destination to be
associated with the assigned Steering PL Frequency and Code. The
Steering Destination is simply an assignment of the function or action
to be performed during VRS-EP operation when the corresponding PL
frequency is received from a portable radio. The VRS-EP uses this
selection as its instructed action each time it receives the appropriate
PL signal.
Note: Depending on the MOTOROLA RSS version in use, some
or all of the above Steering Destination assignments may be
made selected.
Zn (Zone) Use the UP/DOWN arrow keys to select the Zone component of the
mode on which Vehicular Repeater System—Expanded Protocol (VRS-
EP) transmissions are to occur in Mode Steering operation. When the
associated PL frequency is transmitted by a portable radio during VRS-
EP operation, the system will repeat the received signal on a mobile
radio channel within the specified Zone.
The Zones available for selection must have been pre-programmed via
the ZONE/TALKGROUP (CHANNEL) ASSIGNMENT screen (F4/F8).
This means that a Zone value can be selected only if it exists in the
Zone list.
VRS-EP Zone/Chan Mode Steering supports operation only on radio
Zones 1 through 20. Regardless of the number of programmed radio
Zones, the VRS-EP Zone assignment may not make reference to Zones
21 or higher. Note that if a Zone insert (instead of an add-to-end) is
performed via the ZONE/CHANNEL ASSIGNMENT screen (F4/F8), any
existing VRS Zone-20 reference would be pushed over the limit, if the
insertion occurred in front of Zone 20. All VRS Zones which get
affected in this way must be re-assigned on this screen. An attempt to
save or program the codeplug will trigger an appropriate warning if
any such invalid VRS Zones are detected.
Zone/Chan The VRS-EP will transmit the received portable radio
voice signal on a given Channel. The Zone and Channel
to be used in this form of operation can be selected on
this screen, but are only visible if the Zone/Chan
selection is made.
Select Mode The VRS-EP will transmit a received portable radio signal
on the mobile radio channel last selected using the
mobile radio’s mode switch. Note that since Select Mode
may be assigned to only one PL frequency, this
destination is selectable only once.
Emer Alarm The VRS-EP transmission of the appropriate PL
frequency from a portable radio will initiate the
Emergency Alarm feature.
Trunk Msg A message number can be assigned on this screen. The
text associated with the indicated message number is
transmitted when the correct PL signal is received from a
portable radio. The message associated with the entered
number must be programmed in the radio's Message
Alias List. This Steering Destination can only be assigned to
one PL Frequency.
