| GLOSSARY |
Active Channel | A channel upon which the radio is receiving or transmitting a signal. |
Adjustment | A means of tuning the radio to a special value. |
Align | To adjust the position setting of any multiple stage device to obtain optimum product |
| performance. |
ANI | Automatic Number Identification. Used for access/release codes that are frequently used for |
| system management and billing purposes. ANI numbers may only be programmed by the |
| RSS and may not be changed in the field. |
Announcement | Grouping structure used in a Type II or Type IIi trunking system. An Announcement Group is |
Group | a large group of radio users that under normal circumstances coordinate actions among |
| themselves. |
Archive file | A file containing the personality of a radio - the contents of the radio’s codeplug. |
Archive File | The procedure of merging the data from two codeplugs to pass on customer personalities |
Cloning | quickly from one radio to another. In the case of archive file cloning, the source of the |
| factory data is an archive file, and the source of the tuning data is the target radio. |
Arrow keys | The cursor movement keys located on the numeric keypad. The up and down arrow keys |
| are used to increment and decrement values. |
Asynchronous | A data communications method in which information is transmitted one |
Communication | character at a time. A start bit precedes each character and a stop bit follows each |
| character. |
Auto Affilliation | The ability of radios in a Type II or Type IIi system to automatically transmit their talkgroup |
| and unit ID information to the Central Controller. Affilliation occurs after the radio has locked |
| on to the control channel frequency. It does not require the radio user to press the PTT. |
Automatic Retry | The ability of the portable radio to send up to 16 inbound signalling words in a four second |
| period, if the outbound signalling word is not received from the central controller after the |
| radio has made a request to transmit. |
Backup File | A duplicate file of the archive file that is used in event that the original archive file becomes |
| damaged or erased. |
Base Station | (BSI) An identifier which is programmed into the central controller and sent out in Morse |
Identifier | code ID on the lowest frequency trunked repeater. |
Blank Frequency | A channel that is not assigned a transmit frequency. |
Blank PL Code | A channel that is not assigned a receive or transmit PL code. |
Boot | To load the computer’s operating system. |
Busy Channel | A feature on conventional modes that gives "listening privacy". The radio will not key |
Lockout (BCL) | when there is a carrier on channel unless it is your PL/DPL group. Instead, you will hear a |
| busy tone while PTT is held. Also, you will not be allowed to monitor the channel. If all |
| users that share the channel have BCL enabled, then the users have a privacy similar to |
| what a trunked radio system provides. |
