GE-Star Decoder
Table 24: Mobile/Portable Formats (T2=O=Mobile, T2=1=Portable)
Table 25: Extended ID Formats
Switch settings other than those listed above will default to 11-bit ID decoding, ignoring
the T1, T2, and S1 bits of the GE-STAR receive information.
Error Indications
If the GE-STAR Decoder receives and decodes an ANI that is out of the 0000-9999 range,
it will display “#####” on the console to indicate the error. Any emergency or man-down
indications will be passed to the console also, despite the out of range ID.
Output Format
The M4010 ZETRON GE-STAR Decoder output will display on the console as a
sequence of characters and numbers that represent the decoded GE-STAR ID. The
displayed ID starts with either a number sign (#) for non-emergency ID’s or a star (*) for
emergency IDs, followed by the four digit ID number (0000-9999), followed by a status or
message character if present in the transmission. The possible outputs are shown below:
