Motorola MT2000 manual Rib

GLOSSARY	MTSX RSS
Quik Call II	A two-tone sequential tone signally system.
Radio Check	A signalling feature that lets your radio be polled to see if it is turned on and in range. The
Software	user receives no indication of the poll, except perhaps a brief lighting of the transmit or busy
	light.Radio Service Software purchased by Motorola product resellers through a license
	agreement that is delivered on a 5 1/4" and 3 1/2" diskettes and used to program two-way
	radios with a unique set of features, called personalities.
Read	The transfer of information from the radio codeplug to the computer's temporary memory
	(RAM) via the RIB communication link.
Receive	The center of the receive channel in MHz.
Frequency
Recent User	The ability of the Motorola Central Controller to ensure uninterrupted communications to a
Priority	recent user of the trunked system. Recent User Priority ensures that a group engaged in a
	conversation will get priority access even if there is a significant delay between
	transmissions.
Repeater	An electric device with transmit and receive capabilities. A repeater will retransmit
	information at 125, 70, or 35 Watts of power. A trunked repeater used in 800 MHz trunking
	systems will typically have the transmit and receive frequencies separated 45 MHz
	depending upon the original communications system configuration.
RIB	Radio Interface Box.- used to connect a computer system to a radio for the purpose of
	communication between the radio and the computer. The RIB consist of level-shifting
	circuits that convert from the standard RSS-232 voltage levels of the computer asynchronous
	serial interface to the single-ended voltage levels present on the Serial Bus contacts of the
	radio's feature connector. In conjunction with the RIB, an appropriate RIB-to-cable and RIB-
	to-computer cable must be used.
Radio Interface	A cable that allows the radio to be connected (interfaced) with a computer for programming
Cable	or tuning.
RAM	Random Access Memory. The PC’s RAM is used to store the radio's codeplug data while it
	is being viewed or modified. These changes will not become permanent in the radio’s
	codeplug until the radio is programmed.
Read	The operation by which a radio’s codeplug information is transferred from the radio’s
	EEPROM to the workspace via the RIB.
RSS	Radio Service Software
RSS-232	An asynchronous serial data transmission standard that defines the required sequencing,
	and hardware interface.
Rx	Receiver
Save	The means by which a radio’s codeplug information is transferred from the workspace to a
	personality file.
Screen	A list of functions that are accessed by pressing a function key.
Sub-directory	A subdivision of a directory that contains a group of related files. Sub-directories are used to
	organize your disks.
