14221-1800-2000, Rev. G 82 When using Preemptive Priority Scan, the frequencies in the list need to be unique. 6.14.1 Default, Priority 1, and Priority 2 Channels 6.14.1.1 Default Channel This is the currently selected channel and is the channel you transmit on by default when you press PTT while the radio is actively scanning and is not responding to a just received call. Responding to a call the radio just received while scanning is called hang time. If hang time is set to 0 using RPM2, the radio always transmits on the default channel in scan. 6.14.1.2 Priority 1 Channel This channel will be scanned more often than other channels in the list and will be scanned in between every other channel in the scan list. An example scan sequence would be P1 (priority 1), C2, P1, C3, P1, C4, etc. In addition, the priority channel will be scanned even while actively receiving on a non-priority channel. For example, if the radio is actively receiving on C3 and activity is detected on P1, the radio will drop C3 and switch to P1. 6.14.1.3 Priority 2 Channel This channel will also be scanned more often than others. An example scan sequence would be P1, C2, P1, C3, P1, C4, P2, C5, P1, C6, P1, C7, P1, C8, P2, C9 etc. In addition, this channel will be scanned even while actively receiving on a non-priority channel. For example, if the radio is actively receiving on C3 and activity is detected on P2, the radio will drop C3 and switch to P2. Additionally, activity on P1 can also preempt P2, but P2 cannot preempt P1. 6.14.2 Trunked/Conventional Scanning Trunked/conventional scanning adds the ability to scan multiple conventional and P25 conventional channels while still maintaining trunked radio operation. The radio can scan a conventional scan list while still receiving a trunked control channel and receiving trunked calls. Selection of which conventional scan list is associated with a given trunked system is done using RPM2 and cannot be changed on the radio. However, a user with access to the necessary menu layout (see Section 5.8) can edit the scan list members (both trunked groups and conventional channels on the selected Conventional Priority System). As the number of conventional channels being scanned increases, the time between scanning each channel increases (roughly 250 milliseconds per channel), with the consequent increase in the number of calls that will late-enter. To avoid missing calls, it is recommended to keep the number of conventional channels being scanned to eight (8) or fewer. The trunking site must have roaming set to Enhanced CC. NOTENOTE
14221-1800-2000, Rev. G 83 6.14.3 Vote Scan (Analog and P25 Conventional Only) If vote scan is enabled via RPM2, the radio automatically selects the strongest signal ensuring that the best audio quality is delivered to the user. If vote scan is enabled, the radio is always scanning. You cannot stop scanning, start normal scanning, or monitor the channel. The scanning icon on the idle screen indicates that the radio is vote scanning versus, regular scanning. If Talkaround is enabled, Vote Scan is disabled until Talkaround is disabled again. 6.14.4 Edit Scan List Depending on the scan list options selected via RPM2, you may be able to add or remove channels/groups from the scan list. To edit the scan list: 1. Press the Menu/Select button. 2. Press the left or right navigation buttons to display the SCAN menu. 3. Press the up or down navigation buttons to select SCAN LISTS. 4. Press the up or down navigation buttons to highlight the scan list and press the Menu/Select button. 5. Press the up or down navigation buttons to highlight channel/group. 6. Select OPTIONS. 7.

14221-1800-2000, Rev. G 84 When a channel is not grayed out in the list, DELETE CHAN appears. When a channel/group is grayed out (not in list), ADD CHAN appears. 8. Press the Menu/Select button to toggle selection. 6.14.5 Set or Remove Priority 1 and Priority 2 Channels Priority channels are scanned more often than non-priority channels. Note that P1 and P2 can only be set if configured as “Keypad” and the scan list is not set to “Fixed” using RPM2. To set or remove priority 1 and priority 2 channels: 1. Press the Menu/Select button. 2. Press the left or right navigation buttons to display the SCAN menu. 3. Press the up or down navigation buttons to highlight SCAN LISTS and press the Menu/Select button. 4.

14221-1800-2000, Rev. G 85 6.14.6 Custom Scan Lists The Mixed Zone Scan (MZS) feature gives the user the capability to scan based on a custom scan list that is assigned at the system level. The Custom Scan (CS) list can contain System and Channel/Group configurations across P25 Trunked, P25 Conventional, and Analog Systems. When a Custom Scan List is assigned to a P25T system, the radio can scan P25T, P25C and Analog systems. When assigned to a P25C or Analog system, the radio only scans conventional channels. MZS also gives the user the capability to scan beyond the selected system group set. • P25T Scan When a custom scan list is assigned to a P25T system, the user can scan P25T, P25C, and Analog groups/channels. All P25T systems must have the same WACN, System ID, and Unit ID to be added to the custom scan list. If P25C and/or analog channels are added to the custom scan list, the radio will scan them using the Trunked/Conventional scan feature described in section 6.14.2, and will override any other conventional scan list that may have been programmed using RPM2. • P25C and Analog Scan When a custom scan lists is assigned to a P25C or Analog System, the user can scan P25C and Analog channels. P25T systems are ignored. Custom scan list can be created using RPM or at the radio. The radio supports up to 10 Custom Scan lists, with up to 100 channels/groups in each.

14221-1800-2000, Rev. G 97 7. PROGRAMMING This section provides information on front panel programming. Programming can also be accomplished by creating a plan using a computer with RPM2 installed. 7.1 PROGRAMMING VIA RPM2 Radio Personality Manager (RPM2) is used for the bulk of programming the radio. With RPM2, you can fully program the XL-Portable using cable 12082-0410-A1. Removing power during radio programming, or programming the radio with low battery power could corrupt installation of firmware. Ensure that the radio is turned off before connecting the programming cable. After the cable is connected, then power on the radio. 7.2 EDIT CHANNEL (ANALOG AND P25 CONVENTIONAL ONLY) Channels can be edited from the Channel Information (CH INFO) menu display. Most of the displayed channel parameters can be modified here. Channel edits persist across a power cycle. Loading a personality clears any channel edits. Available parameters vary depending on whether the channel is a P25 or analog channel. To edit a channel: 1. From the main display, press  to access the CH INFO screen. 2. Press the up or down navigation buttons to scroll through the programmed channel settings. 3. Press the EDIT soft key. Only authorized users should attempt channel editing. 4. Enter the password programmed via RPM2. You do not have to re-enter the password until you power cycle the radio. 5. Press the ENTER soft key. CAUTIONNOTECAUTION

RPM2 creates, modifies and stores personality information while ProFile Manager delivers the personality over the network to the desired radios. ProFile Manager also contains the ability to read personality information over-the-air and save the files, so that RPM2 can modify the information if necessary. You can interrupt the programming process, if necessary, by depressing the Push-to-Talk (PTT) button or declaring an emergency. Once a radio personality update is successfully completed, the radio automatically resets itself, switches to the new personality, and returns to normal operation. For more information on using ProFile Manager, refer to software release notes AE/LZT 123 3263/1. 7.4 PROGRAMMABLE BUTTONS AND SWITCHES 7.4.1 Programmable Buttons Press  while on the main display to view the functions assigned to the programmable buttons.

Radios manufactured after the above date will comply with these restrictions. Existing radio personalities that contain frequencies that violate these FCC rules will cause an invalid channel error indication on the radio display. The user will need to change the radio personality to comply with the new rules. Note that there are multiple exceptions to the narrowbanding mandate, including the Marine Frequencies listed in Section 8.1.

14221-1800-2000, Rev. G 117 APPENDIX A WI-FI PROGRAMMING Due to numerous issues with discovering and programming radios connected to Enterprise Wireless networks, it is strongly suggested that a single Access Point Wireless network be used for programming radios with RPM2. See Section A.7 for more information. These instructions assume the user has a basic familiarity with Wireless (Wi-Fi) networks, their configuration, and how to connect devices. If you are unfamiliar with the terms and/or procedures mentioned in these instructions, please contact your IT department for help before attempting to configure Wi-Fi programming. For radios to be discoverable on the Wi-Fi network, your wireless router must be configured to allow Multicast (mDNS). This varies by router manufacturer; refer to your router’s documentation for specific settings needed to enable Multicast (mDNS). A.1 OVERVIEW Perform the following to program a radio over Wi-Fi. For first time setup, see Section A.8.1. 1. Configure the Access Point (Section A.2). 2. Configure the personality (Section A.3). 3. Configure the RPM2 application (Section A.4). 4. Put the radio in Wi-Fi Programming Mode (Section A.5). 5. Discovery and programming in the RPM2 application (Section A.6). 6. Support for Enterprise Wireless Networks (Section A.7). 7. Helpful Hints (Section A.8). CAUTIONNOTENOTE
14221-1800-2000, Rev. G 118 A.2 CONFIGURE THE ACCESS POINT • Setup an Access Point (wireless router) as follows. The bold values provided below are the default values in the personality.  Wireless Networking Name (SSID): harrisradios  Shared Key (Network Password): password  Wireless Authentication/Security Mode (Encryption Type): WPA WPA and WPA2-PSK are the available Encryption Types in the RPM2 application • Ensure that the Access Point has Multicast (mDNS) enabled. See the second note at the top of Appendix A for more information. The following are examples of how to allow Multicast (mDNS) message to be relayed and not filtered out on two different routers.  In the Buffalo Router (AC 1750), it is in Advanced settings  Wireless  Multicast Control. Check the Enable checkbox beside “Snooping.”  In the Linksys router (WRT54GS), it is located under the Security Tab. Uncheck “Filter Multicast” to prevent the Multicast (mDNS) messages from being filtered out. A.3 CONFIGURE THE PERSONALITY For a radio to be programmed over Wi-Fi, the active personality on the radio must be configured for connecting with the values that were set in Section A.2. The following steps detail how to configure an existing radio personality. 1. In the personality, navigate to Options  Network Configuration. Figure A-1: Options  Network Configuration 2. Under the Wi-Fi Configuration section, set the Encryption Type, Network (SSID), and Network Password. Figure A-2: Wi-Fi Configuration 3. Under Network Service Configuration, the default values can remain the same. If the wireless network is managed by another department, please coordinate with them to get it setup correctly.
14221-1800-2000, Rev. G 119 The Network Discovery Configuration  Service Name is a Unique name used by RPM2 and radios to communicate with each other. There is more information about this in Section A.8.2. Figure A-3: Service Name 4. After the personality is configured and saved, write it to the radio over USB and then activate it. A.4 CONFIGURE THE RPM2 APPLICATION To ensure that RPM2 can discover radios over Wi-Fi, ensure that the Enable Wi-Fi checkbox is checked on the RPM2 Preferences screen as shown in Figure A-4. This checkbox is unchecked by default. Figure A-4: Enable Wi-Fi in RPM2 Also, as shown in Figure A-4, the Service Name must be updated to reference the value in the active personalities for the radios you need to discover. See #3 in Section A.3 and Section A.8.2 for more information. For default operation using the network as described in Section A.2, no other configuration of the radio or RPM2 is required.
14221-1800-2000, Rev. G 120 A.5 PUT THE RADIO IN WI-FI PROGRAMMING MODE To put the radio in Wi-Fi programming mode: 1. Turn the radio off and remove the USB cable (optional). 2. Press and hold the bottom side and PTT buttons. 3. Power on the radio while continuing to hold the buttons. 4. Release the buttons when the WIFI INSTALL ACTIVE screen appears on the radio. 5. Initially, the radio displays DISCONNECTED. When the IP address is displayed, the radio is available to be programmed. Figure A-5: Enable Wi-Fi Programming Mode on Radio A.6 DISCOVERY AND PROGRAMMING IN THE RPM2 APPLICATION 1. Start RPM2. 2. Disconnect the radio from the programming cable. 3. Select the Radio tab (Figure A-6) and click the Wi-Fi connection button as shown in Figure A-6.
14221-1800-2000, Rev. G 121 Figure A-6: RPM2 Radio Tab: Wi-Fi 4. When the Wi-Fi connection button is pressed, a “Discovering Wi-Fi Radios” message is displayed for several seconds and the radios connected to that access point with that Service Name populate the connection list. To connect over Wi-Fi, the currently active personality MUST have the correct Wi-Fi parameters. Therefore, care must be taken that all personalities on a given radio have the correct Wi-Fi parameters for the desired network. Otherwise, activation of another personality on the radio will result in the inability to establish a Wi-Fi connection. 5. Select a radio or radios and perform the desired action. Only Read Personality, Write Personality, and Load Code are supported over Wi-Fi. See the table below for the supported combinations. Table 12-1: Wi-Fi Feature Support SINGLE RADIO MULTIPLE RADIOS (UP TO 16) Read Single Personality Yes No Read Multiple Personalities Yes No Write Single Personality Yes Yes Write Multiple Personalities No No Load Single Code File Yes Yes Load Multiple Code Files Yes Yes Voice Annunciation No No Feature Data No No Radio Name Yes No Install Splash Screen Yes Yes 6. In the Status Panel, all Wi-Fi related actions will have the prefix of “WIFI.” To help in displaying the radios, the “Connection” and “IP Address” columns are sortable. If the Access Point is not configured to the default values from Section A.2 and the active personality in the radio is removed, the radio loses connection to the Access Point and must be connected over USB to write/activate a personality to reconnect to the Access Point. A.7 RPM2 WI-FI SUPPORT FOR ENTERPRISE NETWORKS. Enterprise Networks have certain limitations when it comes to Discovering/Programming Radios in RPM2. There is a 4500 second (75 minute) caching affect inherent to implementation with the Cisco® NOTENOTE
14221-1800-2000, Rev. G 122 Wi-Fi solution that utilizes the Access Point (AP)/Wireless LAN Controller (WLC) components. Radios remain ‘seen’ in RPM2 even after the radio leaves Wi-Fi or is turned off. It is cached in RPM2 for 4500 seconds. This issue has only been observed with the Cisco AP and WLC solution; however, other enterprise wireless solutions may observe this caching affect. Operation with a lower tiered Wi-Fi router that does not operate with a WLC will likely not observe this behavior. Please see Release Notes for Media Kit SK-019007-001 version R7A06 for more information. A.8 HELPFUL HINTS A.8.1 Initial Setup and Configuration Since radio discovery is dependent on if Multicast (mDNS) messages are being received by RPM2, it is best to keep things as simple as possible. Here are the suggested steps if this is being setup and configured for the first time. 1. Configure the Access Point with the default personality values provided in Section A.2. 2. Create a basic personality with a single system, set and channel, write it to the radio and activate it over USB. 3. Complete Sections A.4 through A.6. If the radio was not discovered in RPM2 but an IP address is displayed on the radio screen as seen in Figure A-5, this may mean that the Multicast (mDNS) messages are not making it through the Access Point. Consult the Access Point’s manual and make sure that those messages are not being filtered out. A.8.2 Grouping Radios by Service Name One benefit of using a unique Service Name is that it allows the user to create logical groupings of radios to reduce the number of radios discovered in RPM2 and help reduce the overhead of keeping track of which radios have been configured. For example, if there are 100 radios in Wi-Fi programming mode (see Section A.5) with the same Service Name, all 100 radios are displayed in the Radio tab after discovery has been completed. This makes it difficult to select and program multiple radios simultaneously. However, if the Service Name in the active personality on 16 of the radios are set to something unique like “fire1” and the RPM2 application Service Name (see Section A.4) is also updated to “fire1,” only those radios with a Service Name of “fire1” are discovered and displayed in the Radio tab.
