3-3-4 EDITING NUMERIC DATA FIELDS

The pr imar y method of editing data in numer ic data fields such as fr equencies and
levels is to use DATA ENTRY Keys. The step- by- step pr ocedur e for this method is as
follows:
o Position cur sor on field selected for data entr y using DATA SCRO LL Keys or TAB
Function.
o Enter numer ic value using DATA ENTRY Keys.
o Pr ess ENTER Key to complete oper ation.
A second method to change cur r ent numer ic values in small amounts is to use the DATA
SCRO LL Keys and/or DATA SCRO LL Spinner . This method changes one digit of the
value dir ectly, but mor e significant digits ar e affected indir ectly as the edited digit
passes zer o in either dir ection. The step- by- step pr ocedur e for this method is as
follows:
o Position cur sor on field selected for data entr y using DATA SCRO LL Keys or TAB
Key.
o Pr ess ENTER Key to highlight field.
o Digit in field to be edited is not highlighted. Pr essing DATA SCRO LL Key (→)
moves highlight to less significant digit. Pr essing DATA SCRO LL Key (←) moves
highlight to mor e significant digit.
o O nce digit to be edited is selected, pr ess DATA SCRO LL Key (↑) to incr ease digit
value and DATA SCRO LL Key (↓) to decr ease digit value. Alter nate method is to
use DATA SCRO LL Spinner . Tur ning DATA SCRO LL Spinner clockwise
incr eases value and counter clockwise decr eases value.
o Pr ess ENTER Key to complete oper ation.

3-3-5 MAKING SELECTIONS FROM MENUS

Whenever the number of selections for the position being edited exceeds the number of
available Soft Function Keys, a MENU Soft Function Key is used. Pr essing the MENU
Soft Function Key opens a window of selections for the cur r ent cur sor location. The
window cur sor is located at the cur r ently active selection. To choose a differ ent
selection, move the cur sor using the DATA SCRO LL Keys or DATA SCRO LL Spinner to
the selection. Pr ess the ENTER Key to complete the oper ation.

6-14-3 EDACS TRUNKING AUTOMATIC TEST

EDACS Tr unking Automatic Test Scr een consists of 4 main par ts. Registr ation, Radio
Test, Repeater Test and Audio Test. Each Test is either ENABLED or DISABLED. This
state of the Automatic Test is r efer r ed to as the ‘Idle’ state. All Automatic Tests ar e r un
with the UUT connected to the T/R por t for both tr ansmit and r eceive oper ations.

1. Registr ation
If ENABLED, Registr ation is the fir st test executed for the Automatic Test which
simply captur es a login message fr om the r adio and displays the Radio’s G r oup
and Logical ID’s along with the Contr ol/Wor king channel fr equencies.

2. Radio Test
If ENABLED, Radio Test executes and completes a G r oup Call sequence with a
r adio and measur es the Radio’s Tr ansmitter Fr equency Er r or , Tr ansmitter RF
Power , High- Speed Data Deviation, Subaudible Data Deviation and Voice Peak
Deviation.

3. Repeater Test
If ENABLED, the Repeater Test measur es the Repeater ’s Tr ansmitter Fr equency
Er r or and Tr ansmitter RF Power .

6-14-4 EDACS TRUNKING AUTOMATIC TEST EXECUTION

Pr ess F3 START to execute the Automatic Test. At least one of these tests must be
ENABLED: Registr ation, Radio Test or Repeater Test. If one or mor e of these tests is
not ENABLED, the scr een displays, “ INVALID SELECTS” and the test does not execute.
The Audio Test only applies to the Radio Simulator and Repeater Simulator .

A. REGISTRATION
When ENABLED, Registr ation executes fir st. The field status changes fr om
ENABLED to RUNNING . The Control Channel programmed from the Setup scr een
is used for the RF Fr equencies and the CO M- 120C begins gener ating Site ID
messages ( over head) . The scr een pr ompts to, “ Tur n on Power to Radio.”
The CO M- 120C then looks for the login message ( data) fr om the Radio. The
Radio must be pr ogr ammed to do automatic login. When the login message is
found, the CO M- 120C acknowledges the login back to the Radio and captur es the
Radio’s G r oup and Logical ID which displays along with the Contr ol/Wor king
channel fr equencies used. The field status changes to CO MPLETE when the test
is finished and pr oceeds to the next ENABLED par t of the Automatic Test.

B. RADIO TEST
If ENABLED, Radio Test executes next. The field status changes fr om ENABLED
to RUNNING . The Control Channel programmed from the Setup scr een is used
for the RF Fr equencies and the CO M- 120C begins gener ating Site ID messages
( over head) . The Radio locks onto the CO M- 120C. If the Push- to- Talk cable is
pr oper ly connected, the Radio per for ms a hands- fr ee PTT ( G r oup Call) . If not,
the scr een pr ompts to manually pr ess the PTT button, “ Pr ess PTT now ( G r oup
Call)”.
The Radio should connect with the CO M- 120C at this point. If a successful G r oup
Call was achieved, the Contr ol/Wor king channels and the Radio’s G r oup/Logical
ID’s ar e displayed and the test measur ements begin with the message: “ Taking
Measur ements...”
The PTT button must r emain depr essed dur ing the measur ements ( if doing manual
PTT) . If not, the Radio Test ter minates and the field status changes to
DRO PPED. The message, “ CALL DRO P” is br iefly displayed.
When the Voice Peak Deviation T est begins, the scr een pr ompts to whistle ( or
blow) into micr ophone and updates the deviation accor dingly. The PTT button
must r emain depr essed dur ing Voice Peak Deviation measur ement.
If Audio Tests ar e planned, skip this test. The Radio’s micr ophone is disabled if
Audio Connector s ar e in place.
If the CO NT or SKIP softkey is pr essed, the Radio test finishes and the field
status changes to CO MPLETE.
Results of the test ar e shown and the scr een pr ompts to r elease the PTT button.
If the Radio has the Push- to- Talk cable connected, the PTT is automatically
r eleased.

If the Audio Test is ENABLED, it is per for med next on the Radio. The field status
changes to RUNNING and the scr een prompts to, “Install Audio Connectors.
Pr ess CO NT when r eady” . It is extr emely impor tant that audio connections to the
Radio ar e installed cor r ectly. Pr ess F4 CO NT to continue the test.
The CO M- 120C establishes a G r oup Call identical to the G r oup Call used in the
Radio Test.
If the PTT cable is pr oper ly connected, the Radio is instr ucted to automatically
engage the PTT button. O ther wise, manually depr ess the PTT button.
O nce the Radio is connected via G r oup Call, the scr een displays the message:
“ Taking Measur ements...” . The PTT button must r emain depr essed ( if manually
doing PTT) dur ing measur ements or the Audio Test ter minates. The field status
indicates DRO PPED. The message, “ CALL DRO P” is br iefly displayed.
After the Tr ansmitter Audio Tests ar e complete, the CO M- 120C pr ompts to r elease
PTT ( if manual PTT) and calls the Radio to do Receiver Audio Tests. When the
call to the Radio is complete, the scr een pr ompts to, “ Set Radio Volume to
Maximum. Pr ess CO NT when r eady” . Check the Radio for a busy ( ‘BSY’) light
indicator and/or a G r oup Call ( G R) light indicator with the caller ’s Logical ID
which indicates a successful call to the Radio. If the call is not successful,
ABO RT the test.
If the F4 CO NT is pr essed, the scr een displays the message: “ Taking
Measur ements” . The field status changes to CO MPLETE when the test is finished
and goes to the next ENABLED par t in the Automatic Test.

C. REPEATER TEST
If ENABLED, Repeater Test executes next. The field status changes fr om
ENABLED to RUNNING . The Working Channel programmed from the Setup
scr een is used for the RF Fr equencies. The Repeater Test is a conventional-
mode test.
Manually contr ol the Repeater Tr ansmitter /Receiver as instr ucted by the CO M-
120C. When the test begins, the scr een pr ompts, “ Tur n on Repeater tr ansmitter
now” . The scr een displays the message: “ Taking Measur ements..” when the
tr ansmitter is on,.
The Repeater Tr ansmitter must r emain on dur ing measur ements. If not, the test
ter minates and the field status indicates DRO PPED. The message, “ REPEATER
DRO P” is br iefly displayed.
If the Audio Test is ENABLED, it is per for med next on the Repeater . The field
status changes to RUNNING and the scr een prompts to, “Install Audio
Connector s. Pr ess CO NT when r eady” .
It is extr emely impor tant that audio connections to the Repeater ar e installed
cor r ectly.
Pr ess F4 CO NT to continue the test. If the Repeater ’s Tr ansmitter is not on, the
scr een pr ompts for it to be tur ned on. O nce the Repeater is tr ansmitting, the
scr een displays the message: “ Taking Measur ements...” .
The Repeater Tr ansmitter must r emain on dur ing measur ements. If not, the test
ter minates and the field status indicates DRO PPED. The message, “ REPEATER

Squelch Setting
The squelch knob setting on the CO M- 120C unit is ver y impor tant for all testing.
While in the EDACS Tr unking Main Scr een with no RF being tr ansmitted into the
CO M- 120C unit, tur n the squelch knob full counter clockwise. The gr een squelch light is
O N. Slowly tur n the knob clockwise until the gr een light just goes off ( make sur e ther e
is no flicker ing) . This setting is valid for all EDACS testing.

Control/Working Channels
If a r adio is having tr ouble locking onto the Repeater Simulator , completing calls or the
Radio Simulator is showing NC, check the pr ogr amming of the Contr ol and/or Wor king
Channels in the Setup menu. These channels must be valid for the par ticular system
under test.
If the r adio is having tr ouble locking onto the Repeater simulator , check the CH #: field.
This must be set to a valid wor king channel number , it is NO T the Contr ol Channel
number .

Data Generation
If the r adio won’t lock onto the Repeater Simulator , won’t stay up when being called or
the Radio Simulator is having tr ouble completing calls, check the DATA Mod Sour ce.
The DATA Mod Sour ce must be set for FM Modulation. The r ecommended deviation is
3.2 kHz ( 1.5 kHz for nar r ow band) with a sub- audible deviation of
0.70 kHz ( 0.35 kHz for nar r ow band) .

Logical/Group ID
If a r adio can not be called in the Repeater Simulator or can not make a call in the
Radio Simulator , check the G r oup/Logical ID. The G r oup ID must valid for the system
under test.

FM-Zero
If a r adio is having tr ouble completing a G r oup Call ( maybe wor ks 50% of the time) , an
FM- Zer o ( FMZ) oper ation may be necessar y. Do this in the Automatic Test using F4
FMZ while in the idle state, or FMZ in any manual mode simulator by cur sor ing to the

scr eens. The second contr ol channel is used by the automatic test mode for the MO VE
test.
The Radio Unit only goes into ser vice on a channel that is contained within the
pr ogr ammed hunt sequence. See notes on following pages for discussion of UK Band III
DTI number ing scheme.
BASE FREQ UENCIES
These ar e the base Rx and Tx fr equencies fr om which the channel spacing is used as
an offset to calculate the fr equencies for each channel.
The base fr equencies ar e effectively those of logical channel 0.
CHANNEL SPACING
The nor mal values for this par ameter ar e either 12.5 kHz ( default) or 25 kHz. If it is set
to zer o, editing of the channel- fr equency allocation plan fields is enabled, other wise
editing is disabled. O ther values of channel spacing can be enter ed as r equir ed.
FFSK MO DULATIO N
The FFSK modulation level is used to deter mine the deviation applied to the data
gener ator for FFSK modulation.
Usual values ar e 1.5 kHz for 12.5 kHz channel spacing, 2.5 kHz for 25 kHz channel
spacing.
CHANNEL PLAN
Some networ ks do not use a fixed channel spacing fr equency plan. In or der to cr eate
such a networ k definition, set the channel spacing field to zer o. Now it is possible to
individually edit the Rx and Tx fr equencies for each channel.

6-15-2 SYSCODE CALCULATION

The system codewor d is used when gener ating contr ol channel signalling as a system
identifier . When testing Radio Units, the cor r ect SYSCO DE allows the RU under test to
go into ser vice.
The SYSCO DE is actually constr ucted fr om a number of differ ent fields. The codewor d
is 15 bits long with the most significant bit ( B15) = 0.

B1 B1 B1 B1 B1 B1 B9 B8 B7 B6 B5 B4 B3 B2 B1 B0
5 4 3 2 1 0

0 0 O PID NDD LAB

0 1 O PID NDD LAB

B14 specifies whether the networ k is ter med a National Networ k ( 1) or a Regional
Networ k ( 0) . Depending on the setting of the Networ k type, the length of the O PID field
is either 7 bits or 2 bits and the NDD field 4 or 9 bits. The LAB field is normally set to
001 to allow any categor y r adio unit to access the system.
The NDD field generally contains a site identifier number for a multiple site network.
The easiest way to constr uct the SYSCO DE is to conver t each field into binar y with all
leading zer oes to complete the field width, then cr eate a 16 bit hexadecimal number
conver ting each four bits into a hexadecimal char acter 0- 9, A- F.
Example: A Radio Unit is pr ogr ammed for a r egional networ k, O PID=50, and has access
author ization for site ar ea 1.

O PID = 94 decimal = 1011110 binar y

NDD = 1 decimal = 0001

LAB = 001 SYSCO DE = 2F09

B1 B1 B1 B1 B1 B1 B9 B8 B7 B6 B5 B4 B3 B2 B1 B0

0 0 OPID NDD LAB

0 0 1 0 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1

In many instances where the Radio Unit has unlimited access, authorization NDD may
be set to any value.

6-15-3 CHANNEL NUMBERING

It is impor tant the fir st contr ol channel number used her e is a channel defined in the
Nor mal Hunt table of the Radio Unit. Although an RU is instr ucted to MO VE to another
contr ol channel, a channel is not acquir ed unless the channel is in the Nor mal Hunt
table. O ther wise, the RU enter s a Compr ehensive Hunt. This may take many minutes
befor e acquir ing a channel and going into ser vice.
Radio Units oper ating in the UK Band III sub- bands 1 and 2 use a slightly differ ent
channel designation.

6-15-4 BASE FREQUENCIES

Ever y networ k has a channel plan, identifying a channel number with a specific tr ansmit
and r eceive fr equency. G ener ally this plan is r efer enced back to an initial BASE
fr equency which is either logical channel 0 or occasionally logical channel 1. Each
channel is then r elated to the channel number and base fr equency by the for mula BASE
FREQ UENCY + ( channel number x channel spacing) .
For example if it is known that the fr equency of a contr ol channel is 188.8750 MHz and
it is channel number 298, the base fr equency must be 188.8750 – ( 298 x 0.0125) =
185.025 MHz assuming the channel spacing is 12.5kHz.
For situations with a non incr emental channel plan, usually used when ther e ar e
differ ent channel spacings ( Rx/Tx split) on differ ent channels, it is possible to define
each channel number manually by setting the channel spacing to zer o.

6-15-7 TESTING RADIO UNITS

When testing a Radio Unit, the most commonly used mode is the manual REPEATER
SIMULATO R. In this mode the CO M- 120C acts as a single channel MPT 1327 tr unked
r epeater using contr ol/tr affic r ever sion when calls ar e initiated. The CO M- 120C allows a
r adio unit to be sent a G T C and switch into a call mode, making basic functionality and
par ametr ic measur ements possible.

The quickest r oute to checking a Radio Unit is to:

o Select the cor r ect Networ k file fr om stor ed files or cr eate a new one
o Enter Repeater Simulator mode
o Ensur e cor r ect Antenna connections ar e selected and RF levels ar e cor r ect
o Wait until Radio Unit goes into ser vice
o Initiate a Speech Call r equest fr om the Radio Unit
If the Radio Unit does not enter ser vice, but appear s to be attempting to r egister on the
CO M- 120C channel, check that the squelch is adjusted cor r ectly and the baseband
meter ing is switched O FF.

6-15-8 MPT 1327/MPT 1343 NUMBERING SCHEMES

All signalling over air uses MPT 1327 number ing for the RU identity ( 7 bit pr efix, 13 bit
identity) . However , most RU’s use MPT 1343 number ing schemes to r educe the digits
dialed to two or thr ee digits for calls within fleet. The conver sion between 1343
number s and 1327 identities is per for med within the RU. It is impossible for the CO M-
120C to deter mine the MPT 1343 number ; however , the conver sion between the two is
r elatively easy.

To conver t MPT 1343 to MPT 1327:

MPT 1327 PFIX = MPT 1343 PFIX – 200
MPT 1327 IDENT = ( FLEET ID –2000)
x 2 + ( FLEET NUMBER- 20 or 200)

Example:
MPT 1343 ID = 201 2500 27
MPT 1327 PFIX = 201- 200 = 001
MPT 1327 IDENT = ( 2500- 2000) x 2 +
( 27- 20) = 1007
