MOTOTRBO supports data services in a number of ways.
• MOTOTRBO allows radios to send “unit-to-unit” and “unit-to-group” data packets. It
supports confirmed and unconfirmed delivery of a data packet. The table below shows
the confirmed and unconfirmed mode for all the software versions.
NOTE: If some of the radios in R01.05.00 or later, are still running on older software versions like
R01.00.00 or R01.01.00, then the radios must select the unit-to-unit data as confirmed
mode.
• MOTOTRBO also enables infrastructure and/or PC based applications by supporting
Internet Protocol (IP) addressing and IP packet data services. Rather than relying
upon external modems, MOTOTRBO radios can connect directly to computer
equipment with standard USB interfaces. This simplifies and lowers the cost of
integrating with applications, and at the same time expands the universe of potential
applications that organizations can deploy. Depending upon availability in your region,
Motorola offers two PC based MOTOTRBO applications.
• MOTOTRBO supports a Third Party Application Partner Program. This program
includes a complete application developer’s kit that fully describes interfaces for IP data
services, command and control of the radio, and for option boards that can be installed
in the radio.
For some infrastructure based data applications, the radio must first complete a registration
process before data messages can be exchanged between the radio and the infrastructure based
application. Registration has no impact on voice operation, aside from utilizing the same channel.
Polite voice calls will have to wait until an in-progress registration completes before it can use the
channel, while impolite voice calls can transmit on top of a registration transmission. A radio does
not have to register for voice services. A radio registers when the radio powers up in a data
capable mode, or changes into a data capable mode. A radio registers with a Presence Notifier,
which is incorporated within the third
-party applications. The Presence Notifier informs the data
application servers that the registered radio is “on the system” and available for services.
In MOTOTRBO systems, the codeplug configuration determines whether or not a radio attempts to
register on the selected channel. This is defined via the ARS parameter which is enabled or
disabled through the settings within each channel. It must be set to enabled for those channels
that are utilized for data communications with infrastructure based applications.
