Getting StartedEnglish2 Additional Performance EnhancementThe following are some of the latest creations designed to enhance the security, quality and efficiency of APX Mobile Radios.Dynamic System Resilience (DSR)DSR ensures the radio system is seamlessly switched to a backup master site dynamically in case of system failure. DSR also provides additional indication e.g. failure detection, fault recovery, and redundancy within the system to address to the user in need. Mechanisms related to the Integrated Voice and Data (IV & D) or data centric are all supported by DSR.CrossTalk PreventionThis feature prevents crosstalk scenario from happening, especially when a wideband antenna is used. This feature allows the adjustment of the Trident Transmitting SSI clock rate in the radio to be varied from the Receiving Frequency. This subsequently reduced the possibilities of radio frequency interfering spurs and prevents the issues of crosstalk. Encrypted Integrated Data (EID) EID provides security encryption and authentication of IV & D data bearer service communication between the radio and the Customer Enterprise Network.SecureNetSecureNet allows user to perform secured communications on an Analog or Motorola Data Communication (MDC) channel. The MDC OTAR feature will allow users to perform OTAR activities on an MDC channel.Example DescriptionHome button or HButtons and keys are shown in bold print or as an icon.PHONE Menu entries are shown similar to the way they appear on the radio’s display.fThis means “Press the right side of the 4-way Navigation button.”Draft 1c
