Radio Tuning, Programming, Cloning, Lowband Antenna Cutting Procedure, PassPort Tone Options, and Diagnostic Functions 5-5
Procedure:
1. Use the READ RADIO function to read the radio codeplug to be cloned. i.e. the “Source ” code-
plug.
2. If required, enter the Individual ID’s for the new radio. Trunking system keys (or FTR Key) are
required for cloning the Trunking System Data.
3. If required, go to the SDF merge screen, to merge SDF Trunking System Dat a.
4. Connect “Target” radio to the computer and press READ SERIAL NUMBER button to read the
“Target” radio’s serial number. This number must be different from the “Source” codeplug, or the
cloning progress will fail.
5. Connect “Target” radio to the computer , and pr ess the PROGRAM button to program the “Source”
codeplug into the “Target” radio.
6. The CPS will validate the code plug.
7. If it fails a warning screen will be displayed informing of the incompatibility between the CPS and
code plug, otherwise the information is written into the radio’s code plug.
5.6 Cloning (PassPort)
Cloning of PassPort data in the HT1250•LS+ may on ly be accomplished via the PPCPS. In order to
“clone” the contents of one radio into another radio, the user must attach the first radio to the RIB
cable and read the contents of the PassPort personality by pressing the “Read Device” icon on the
toolbar (or by choosing “Read Device” from the file menu and selecting the proper COM port). The
user should then select each PassPort zone and change the MIN for each zone. He/She may then
attach the second radio to the RIB cable and write th e personality into it by pressing the “Write
Device” icon on the toolbar (or by choo sing “Write De vice” from the file men u and choosing the p roper
COM port). Alternatively, the information may be cloned to multiple radios by saving the personality
data to a file. The file ma y, at a la ter time, be re-read a nd the M IN may be ch anged for ea ch zone an d
then written to the radio through the procedure described above. Care must always be taken by the
user to ensure that the MIN is unique for each radio to avoid undesirable results in the system.
WARNING: Do NOT turn off the radio or disconnect it from the computer while attempting to
PROGRAM the codeplug. Interrupting the programming process WILL DESTROY the code-
plug contents and completely DISABLE the radio
