Remote Operation Using an M7 Controller
Available as a desktop or rack mount unit, the Park Air M7 Controller integrates directly with the M7 radio
via an E1 link as shown in Fig 1-5. The controller has the same Control Head as the radio to provide
identical operator activity.
For reduced cost or additional security, the radio can operate without a Control Head being fitted. In this
configuration the control head is replaced by a blank panel and the radio is operated from a remote
location using one or more M7 Controllers.
Fig 1-5 Remote Operation Using an M7 Controller
Fig 1-5 shows a simple configuration where one controller is used to remotely operate one radio. More
complex configurations where multiple controllers operate multiple radios are described in the M7
Controller documentation.
Remote Operation Using Compatible Control Equipment
The radio is operated remotely by connecting compatible control equipment to the rear panel interfaces.
All interfaces are detailed in the Installation topic.
Waveform Profiles and Frequency Presets
M7 radios introduce the concept of Waveform Profiles and Frequency Presets to provide a simple
method of configuring the radio for various operational scenarios.
Waveform Profiles contain all the settings, except operating frequency, for a particular waveform. At least
one profile is assigned to each modulation waveform. Multiple profiles, each having different settings can
be assigned as required. Up to twenty waveform profiles can be stored in a radio.
Frequency presets consist of a Waveform Profile plus an associated operating frequency. Up to 400
frequency presets can be stored in a radio.
Waveform profiles and frequency presets are fully described in the Operation topic.
Security Profiles
Security profiles control individual operator access to various levels of radio functionality. Each user is
allocated one of three security profiles accessed by a 4-digit PIN. Access to specific functions, for
example: recalling frequency presets, can be disabled for each profile.
Setting security profiles is detailed in the Operation topic.
