5.15 MDC1200 COMPATIBILITY
MDC1200 is a signaling protocol designed and
implemented by Motorola for analog channels only.
The following features of this protocol are supported.
Either MDC1200 or standard DTMF ANI/Emergency
signaling can be programmed on each conventional
system.
MDC1200 ANI
- Both pre and post ANI are
supported.
MDC1200 Emergency Alert
- A retry counter is
implemented. Currently, ACKs are not decoded so the
radio retrys the programmed number of times with
each emergency.
5.16 CLONE MODE
5.16.1 GENERAL
The Clone feature enables one radio to program
another with identical information. The PCConfigure
programming software is not required. This feature is
is not available with 53xx mobiles. Other requirements
are as follows:
• The Clone menu parameter must be enabled in the
master (sending) radio. This parameter is not
required with the slave (receiving) radio.
• The master and slave radios must be identical
models (same frequency range and options).
Only zones with conventional analog and P25
channels can be transferred using this function. Any
SMARTNET/SmartZone and P25 trunked informa-
tion is not transferred. In addition, the P25 Unit ID,
encryption keys, and the RSI ID and other OTAR
information are not transferred. Cloned zones are indi-
cated in the slave radio by an asterisk in the first char-
acter position of the zone alias (the first character is
replaced by this asterisk).
5.16.2 WIRELESS CLONING
A new wireless cloning feature is available that
allows one radio to program another using an RF link
instead of having to be physically connected by a
cloning cable. This feature is available on P25 conven-
tional channels only.
The wireless cloning feature utilizes the P25 data
functionality of the radio. Therefore, a conventional
P25 channel must be programmed in both radios and
the slave radio must have been programmed with a
P25 Unit ID. In addition, Data Registration must be
enabled in both radios. If it is not programmed,
“Disabled” is displayed. Radios with wireless cloning
capability have a new selection in the cloning menu to
select either Clone N (Normal) or Clone W (Wireless).
If Wireless is selected, an additional menu is displayed
for entering the P25 Unit ID of the destination radio
(slave). The Zone/Complete mode is then selected.
5.16.3 CLONING PROCEDURE
1. With normal (non-wireless) cloning, connect the
master (sending) radio to the slave (receiving) radio
using Cloning Cable, Part No. 023-5100-930.
2. On the master radio, select the Clone menu param-
eter and press the F2 key. If applicable, select either
“Clone W” (Wireless) or “Clone N” (Normal). If
normal cloning was selected or if this is not select-
able, proceed to step 4.
3. With wireless cloning, a screen is then displayed for
entering the P25 Unit ID of the destination (slave)
radio. Enter this ID using the keypad (or the Up/
Down keys) and F2.
4. The clone mode “Zone” or “Complete” is then
selected. Select the desired mode. Operation is as
follows:
Zone - This mode allows channel information for
only the selected zone to be transferred. Informa-
tion programmed on the Global, Radio Wide, and
By System screens is not changed. A list of the
current conventional zones is displayed. Select the
desired zone by highlighting it and pressing the F2
key. A selected zone is indicated by an asterisk (*).
Scroll to “OK” and press F2 to begin the data
transfer. The selected zone in the slave radio is
overwritten. Previously, multiple zones could be
selected and they were appended to those in the
slave radio.
Complete - This mode transfers all conventional
programming information. This includes informa-
tion on the Global, Radio Wide, and By System
screens. Simply highlight “Complete” and press the
