Motorola HT1250-LS+

Radio Tuning, Programming, Cloning, 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 Data.
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 press the PROGRAM button to program the “Source”
codeplug into the “Target” radio.
6. The CPS validates the code plug.
7. If it fails a warning screen is displayed informing of the incompatibility between the CPS and code
plug, otherwise the information is written into the radio’s code plug.
5.5 Cloning (PassPort)
Cloning of PassPort data in the HT1250•LS
+
may only be accomplished via the PPCPS. In order to
“clone” the contents of one radio into another radio, 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). Select each PassPort
zone and change the MIN for each zone. Attach the second radio to the RIB cable and write the
personality into it by pressing the “Write Device” icon on the toolbar (or by choosing “Write Device”
from the file menu and choosing the proper COM port). Alternatively, the information may be cloned to
multiple radios by saving the personality data to a file. The file may, at a later time, be re-read and the
MIN may be changed for each zone and then written to the radio through the procedure described
above. Care must always be taken 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
