IP Site Connect
This feature allows your radio to extend communication beyond the reach of a single repeater site by operating on multiple repeater sites connected together via an Internet Protocol (IP) network.
When the radio moves out of range from one site and into the range of another, it connects to the new site's base station to send or receive calls/data transmissions. Depending on your settings, this is done automatically or manually.
If the radio is set to do this automatically, it scans through all available sites when the signal from the current site is weak or when the radio is unable to detect any signal from the current site. It then locks on to the base station with the strongest Received Signal Strength Indicator (RSSI) value.
In a manual site search, the radio searches for the next site in the roam list that is currently in range (but which may not have the strongest signal) and locks on to it.
NOTE: Each channel can only have either Scan or Roam enabled, not both at the same time.
Channels with this feature enabled can be added to a particular roam list. The radio searches the channel(s) in the Members list during the automatic roam operation to locate the best site.
A Members list supports a maximum of 16 channels (including the Selected Channel).
NOTE: You cannot manually add or delete an entry to the Members list. Check with your dealer or system administrator for more information.
