INTRODUCTION T he ST-865M3 SmarTrunk II Logic Board is a microprocessor based radio trunking logic board designed for use with Motorola GP68 Radio. The ST-865M3 implements SmarTrunk II, an efficient radio channel allocation protocol. The SmarTrunk II Logic Board controls all radio functions including channel scan, PTT, and all transmit and receive audio.

1 • OPERATION S ubscribers already familiar with the original SmarTrunk system will find the SmarTrunk II digital system just as easy to use. There are also many additional features and enhancements. The ST-865M3 begins trunking operation as soon as the radio is powered on. Channel selection, transmit control, receiver audio, and other radio functions are all under the control of the ST-865M3. Radio channel access is tightly controlled.
Model ST-865M3 SmarTrunk II™ Logic Board 1.2 Receiving A Call The subscriber is alerted to an incoming call by ringing of the subscriber equipment. This alerting takes four forms, related to the type of incoming call. a. A long single high frequency ring is generated by the logic board, then a low frequency dual tone ring is generated by the controller. This indicates an incoming landline call. b.
1 • Operation Table 1-1 Call Routing Codes Routing Code 1 2 3 4 5 9 0 1.3.1 Destination Subscriber to Landline 1 Subscriber to Landline 2 Subscriber to Subscriber Fleet-Dispatch/Group Call Conventional Mode Mobile Operator Emergency Subscriber To Landline Call Routing codes 1 and 2 give the subscriber access to telephone line one or two respectively. A subscriber may be restricted from line 2, or there may not be two telephone lines connected to the ST-852M. In this case, routing code 2 is not valid.
Model ST-865M3 SmarTrunk II™ Logic Board 1.3.5 Mobile Operator Call Routing code 9 calls the subscriber that is preprogrammed as the Mobile Operator. This functions as though the subscriber had used routing code 3 with the subscriber ID number of the Mobile Operator. The Mobile Operator is programmed by the System Operator/Manager. 1.3.6 Emergency Call Routing code 0 causes the ST-852M to access line 1 and dial the preprogrammed emergency phone number.
1 • Operation Table 1-2 and the following paragraphs summarize the advanced dialing modes available: Table 1-2 Dialing Modes Dialing Mode Procedure Store and Send Dialing (number to dial) + (routing code) + * Memory Speed Dialing Programming Speed Dial Memory (The ability to program speed dial numbers can be disabled by the dealer). Redial Mode Priority Call Overide * + (memory location) * (hold until beep) + (memory location) + (number to store) + (routing code) + * 1.4.
Model ST-865M3 SmarTrunk II™ Logic Board 1.4.2 Memory Speed Dialing This procedure is used for dialing a telephone number or subscriber ID number that is stored in the speed dial memory: a. Press the * key. b. Enter the memory speed dial location (0-9). c. Hear a beep followed by the phone system signalling. d. Wait for the called party to answer the call. Example: 1.4.3 To call a telephone number from the speed dial memory location 6, enter the following sequence: * 6.
1 • Operation 1.4.4 Redial Redial is most often used after a telephone number is dialed using the store and send method and the line is busy or a trunking channel is not available. Example: To redial the last number dialed: Press the * key twice. Turning off the power to the radio clears the redial memory. If redial is attempted when no number has been entered, a low frequency error tone will be heard. Redial may be repeated as many times as desired. 1.4.
Model ST-865M3 SmarTrunk II™ Logic Board 1.4.6 Clear Channel Alerting If a call is attempted and no trunking channels are available, the subscriber will get a busy signal. The subscriber can try to redial over and over until the call is processed but this is very frustrating. Clear Channel Alerting Mode eliminates this problem. If Clear Channel Alerting Mode is enabled and all channels are busy when a call is attempted, a busy signal will be generated by the ST-865M3.
1 • Operation 1.6 Radio-Kill If the radio has been remotely disabled by the System Operator/Manager, it will generate a continuous stream of low frequency beeps and will not operate. The radio must be returned to the dealer or System Operator/ Manager for reprogramming. Radio-Kill is a feature that is programmed and managed by the System Operator/Manager.

2 • OPERATING MODES T he ST-865M3 may be operated in three modes; Radiotelephone, Fleet Dispatch and Conventional. The System Operator/Manager determines which of these modes are made available to each subscriber. The features of the operating modes are described below: • Radiotelephone - The subscriber receives private calls and group calls. He can initiate telephone calls, call other radiotelephone subscribers and call any group. Call records for each subscriber and group are maintained for billing.
Model ST-865M3 SmarTrunk IITM Logic Board The System Operator/Manager activates a subscriber (individual or group) by programming the ST-852M SmarTrunk II Controller. This activation involves assigning a Subscriber ID Number, Paging Code Number, operational type and a number of other controller parameters. As previously stated, each piece of SmarTrunk II subscriber equipment is capable of "over the air" operation with two Paging Code Numbers.
2 • Operating Modes Example #3: If a subscriber primarily has only radio dispatch/fleet requirements, both the Primary Code and the Secondary Codes may be assigned to group Paging Codes. When programmed in this manner, the equipment will respond to two groups (Group and Sub-Group). The operator of this equipment can only receive Group or Sub-Group calls. An individual user in the subscriber group can make individual outgoing calls to the landline (Primary Code is used).
