PDT Mode used for digital trunking. Selected, the channel applies to radios with

PDT signaling verification. Otherwise, the channel applies to radios

with DMR signaling verification.

Service A general option. Selected, the user can suspend the channel in

suspending remote control.

Radio login The radio must send log in request before allowed to access the

network. Otherwise, the radio can access the network without log in

request.

Radio used for digital trunking. Selected, the authentication function is

management active. This function needs to be used for coordination with the

authentication service or software authentication.

Radio Selected, the channel will upload the activity information of the radio,

information such as radio log in, log out, radio PTT status, etc.

Radio Selected, it will collect radio positioning information.

positioning

Ring mode This option is dedicated to single calls placed by PDT digital radios.

When selected, the control channel will require the recipient radio to

ring, the subscriber can decide whether or not to answer.

Open group Select it to enable the radio to call an unregistered group, which is

call automatically set as a local group.

Simulcast When simulcast calls are assigned to a called station, they can only

channel be assigned on the audio channel whose option of simulcast channel

has been selected.

Conventional Select this option to support conventional radio conversation.

channel modes. In an analog system, the user needs to choose the dedicated

analog channel.

Open the the radio database function on the functional board, to accelerated

Dedicated When the control channel is an analog channel, this option should be

analog channel selected.

Preoccupied used for engineering tests.

channel

Signaling In analog trunking, the PTT signaling of the radio controls audio

maintain forwarding, otherwise it is controlled by the GATE signaling.

Local long Tx This option is exclusively used for analog calls. If selected, when the

channel assigns analog calls, the channel is still in a transmitting

status even if no radio is talking.

Automatic used for digital trunking. Broadcasting the control channel information

roaming of the adjacent base station, helping the radio searching for the

strongest signal. But the control channel parameters of the adjacent

base station should be registered at the same time.

Disable If selected, the audio channel only accepts disable requests placed

restriction by the calling radio in the current conversation.

Call forwarding When the base station receives an unregistered group call, it will

forward the call signaling to the registered base station. Or forwarding

GTC signaling from other base stations to notify that a roaming radio

IP networking Multi-channel networking is achieved through the IP port of the CCM,

mainly used in mini base stations.

Digital/Analog used for engineering tests.
