Motorola MT2000 manual Dos

MTSX RSS		GLOSSARY
Disk Drive	The device that reads and programs information on a permanent storage medium; that is,
	floppy or hard disks.
Diskette	An alterable permanent magnetic storage medium for microcomputers. Also called a disk,
	floppy disk or mini diskette.
DOS	Data Operated Squelch. When enabled, DOS will detect an incoming packet of the same
	signalling scheme as the radio, and squelch the audio for the duration of the packet. A small
	blip of data will be heard,but most of the packet will not be heard.DPL	Digital Private
	Line coded squelch. A channel that has DPL on the receive frequency will require both the
	presence of carrier as well as the correct DPL code before it will unmute. Also, if you have
	DPL on the transmit frequency, all transmissions on that channel will be modulated at a sub-
	audible level by the DPL code. Modulation is continuous.
DPL	Digital Private Line A continuous sub-audible data signal that is transmitted along with a
	carrier. A radio that has DPL on the receive frequency will require both the presence of
	carrier and and the correct DPL code before it will unmute. Also, if there is DPL on the
	transmit frequency, the DPL code during transmissions made on that channel will be
	continuous.
DTMF	An acronym for Dual Tone Multi-Frequency. DTMF is a signalling system used by the
	telephone system
EEPROM	Electronically Erasable Read-Only Memory. Used by the radio to store its alterable
	personality data.
Enter	A synonym for the carriage return key.
Error	Any condition that prevents the software from functioning properly or any input/response that
	deviates from what the software was designed to accept.
ESC	The escape key pressing this key returns you to the main menu.
Exit	To leave the current screen and return to the previous screen. The RSS uses the F10
	function key for all exit operations.
Failsoft	In the event the Central Controller should fail, the radios in the system will enter a
	'conventional" preassigned failsoft channel. Each trunked repeater in the system will key
	and transmit a data word informing every radio that the system has gone into the failsoft
	mode and communication will act as a conventional radio repeater.
Field	The changeable area located next to a feature on the screen. The current selected field is
	always highlighted via inverse video.
File	A collection of information typically stored by the computer on a magnetic medium.
Fleet	A grouping structure used in Type I trunking. A fleet is a group of radio users with a common
	functional responsibility who, under normal circumstances, coordinate actions among
	themselves.
Fleet Mapping	In the process of identifying who needs to talk to whom and how individual radio users
	should be grouped. The fleet map also addresses expansion needs; how many radios may
	be added to the system.
Floppy Disk Drive	A disk drive that uses removable magnetic disks.
Frequency	The location of the center of a channel in the radio spectrum (measured in MHz).
