Field Definitions
Number (#) The system automatically assigns a number to the Call ID entry when
the user adds an entry.
Call ID Enter the four-digit (hexadecimal) MDC CALL ID comprised of
hexadecimal digits A through F for this member of the call list. The
Call ID is used to target a radio when an individual or group call has
to be sent to that radio or set of radios. The valid range of values is 1
through FFFF.
An MDC Call ID is either an Individual Call ID or a Group Call ID. The
RSS interprets entries as follows:
❒ A Call ID which begins with the hexadecimal digit “E” is
considered a Group ID. IDs of the form “Exxx” (where x implies any
hexadecimal digit) should therefore be avoided for Individual/Primary
ID specification.
❒ A Call ID beginning with a digit other than “E” is treated as an
Individual ID.
The number of characters for the ID alias labelled Call Text is automatically
determined according to the display capability of the radio.
Note: The hexadecimal digit ‘F’ serves as a wild card, so it can be
strategically placed in a Call ID to make it match other Call IDs,
thus creating the effect of a group ID. “FFFF” for instance would
specify all radios in the system.
Call Text Enter the alphanumeric name for this Call ID. This name will appear
on the radio display for the sake of convenience.
