Page 18 1 DMR CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM DMR CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM DMR is a generic name for a digital communication system protocol utilizing 4-level FSK. Using DMR, the transceiver can initiate an individual call or group call for voice calls, text data communications or GPS data communications. Also, connecting a transceiver to an external device (such as a PC) allows communication because the transceiver supports serial command communication.
Page 19 1 DMR CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM 1.1 Initiating Voice Communications (Basic Transmission and Reception) Initiating Voice Communications (Basic Transmission and Reception) This section describes the basic methods for transmission and reception in a DMR Conventional system and the relevant functions. About Own ID To initiate various communications by using DMR, Unit ID (Own), the identification code of a transceiver, needs to be configured for the transceiver.
Page 20 1 DMR CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM 1.1 Initiating Voice Communications (Basic Transmission and Reception) Auto Reset Timer Auto Reset Timer is the amount of time from when the received Unit ID or Group ID matches the Unit ID or Group ID preconfigured for the transceiver until the LCD, blinking of LED and emission of Alert Tone will automatically be reset. By using KPG-D1/ D1N, Auto Reset Timer can be configured.
Page 21 1 DMR CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM 1.1 Initiating Voice Communications (Basic Transmission and Reception) Optional Signaling LED Optional Signaling LED is the function that causes the LED to flash in yellow when the Optional Signaling received matches that of the transceiver. A user can notice by the LED that the transceiver is receiving a call. When Optional Signaling is no longer matching due to operation of the transceiver key or upon elapse of the time configured in Auto Reset Timer, the light of the LED goes off.
Page 22 1 DMR CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM 1.1 Initiating Voice Communications (Basic Transmission and Reception) Restricting the Continuous Transmission Duration (Time-out Timer) Time-out Timer (TOT) is the function to restrict the duration for the transceiver to continuously transmit. This function is used to prevent a user from occupying a repeater or frequency which is shared with other users. The transceiver automatically stops transmitting and releases the channel if it continuously transmits longer than the configured time.
Page 23 1 DMR CONVENTIONAL SYSTEM 1.1 Initiating Voice Communications (Basic Transmission and Reception) TOT Reset Time TOT Reset Time is the time required to initialize and reset the elapsed time for Time-out Timer. Example 1: Time-out Timer: 30 sec, TOT Reset Time: 10 sec Press Release Press...
