User Manual 26en 8 BASIC FUNCTIONS 8.1 Group Calls Group calls will enable you to communicate with a group of users that are allowed to participate in the communication. Select GRP mode with the soft key ‘Mode’. A group call is always semi-duplex with direct signalling: the group selected on screen is directly connected by pressing PTT, and it is not possible to listen and speak at the same time. The groups are organised in ranges (or folders). Each range can have several groups and their distribution is established by programming. To select the range and group, use the navigation keys . Alphabetic search will only be applied to the groups included in the selected range. Once the user has selected one of the ranges, it will only be possible to move through the groups included in that range. The groups will be sorted alphabetically within each range. The selected range / group is displayed on the screen. To change the range, press the soft key ‘Range’. When a group has been selected, its status will be displayed on screen for a few seconds. The call to this group will proceed if the group is available. If it isn’t, pressing PTT will display the message “Non-valid group”. The user must keep the PTT key pressed to send the call, and the rest of the users in the group will listen directly. The STS led will turn red (transmission) or green (reception).
User Manual 27 en The speaker’s identifier (or name if available in the phone book) will be displayed on screen. The group call is directly received, with no action necessary on the part of the user. The equipment will inform the user that a group call has been received with a short alert tone and the name of the user speaking at any given moment as well as the name of the group will be displayed on screen. The call will be disconnected by pressing the soft key ‘Hang’ or the AUX key of the handheld microphone or simply by releasing PTT and waiting for the system to disconnect. The group call will be finished by the system if it detects that for a certain time no user has requested permission to transmit. Any other user can leave the call using the same procedure, although it will continue for the rest of the users. It is possible to configure the groups to listen by programming, so you will receive all the calls in this status.
User Manual 28en 8.2 Individual calls An individual call is a call between 2 users. No other user will listen to your call. It can be made to numbers on the TETRA network (private calls) or to numbers on the external telephone network (PSTN or PABX telephone calls). MDT-400 / DT-410 will enable you to make the following individual calls: - Semi-Duplex with direct signalling: The caller has permission to speak first. It is not possible to speak and listen simultaneously. - Semi-Duplex with “hook” signalling: The receiver must answer (unhook) first. It is not possible to speak and listen simultaneously. - Duplex: The signalling is hook (the called party must answer first). It is possible to speak and listen simultaneously. It is not necessary to press PTT to speak. To make a private semi-duplex call: - Enter the number of the person you wish to call or select it from the phone book. - With the soft key ‘Mode’ (lower right-hand part of the screen) select the type of call you wish to make (PRV, PSTN, PABX). - If the call you wish to make is direct signalling, press the PTT button and speak directly. When you wish to stop speaking, release the button. Then your interlocutor can carry out the same operation: press PTT and talk. - For semi-duplex calls with Hook signalling, start the call by pressing the AUX button on the hand-held microphone. This option must be enabled by programming. The user must accept (unhook) the call first. When the call has been established, the user who wishes to speak must keep PTT pressed. - There are two ways to finish any type of private call: By pressing the AUX button on the hand-held microphone or by the soft key ‘Hang’. If Discrete Mode is active ( ), a semi-duplex incoming call with direct signalling will be converted to hook signalling.

Accessing the Messages submenu from the Main Menu, it is possible to read the text messages received (Inbox option of the text messages) and use the phone of the sender (Phone Back option in the Options of a selected message).
User Manual 30en 8.3 Status messages The MDT-400 / DT-410 allows you to send status messages to individual and group addresses: “Call Back”, “Urgent request” and “Emergency”. These are standard messages that can be enabled or not by programming It is also possible to send messages predefined by the user by programming. They are messages whose number code and associated text are defined by the user. In the Messages submenu of the Main Menu, select the option “Status”. You can send status messages to individual addresses (TETRA private addresses or telephone addresses) or group addresses stored in the phone book, or directly dial the individual destination address. Once the destination has been selected, press soft key ‘Send’. When the message is received in the infrastructure, this will send a confirmation “Message sent” or inform of “Failed sending” to the equipment. To send a status message rapidly to a predefined address (individual or group) press + + Digit 1 + Digit 2. This option must be enabled by programming. The message number is indicated with digit 1 and digit 2 and it corresponds to the position occupied by the message in the list. This can be consulted to know the place each one occupies (Messages Menu in the Main Menu). When a new status message is received, the equipment informs the user by means of an information screen that a message has been received and the symbol is displayed. To read old status messages, select Status from the Messages submenu of the Main Menu, which contains the following options: Read, Send and Delete status. F *
User Manual 31 en 8.4 Text messages Another service that you will be able to carry out with your MDT-400 / DT-410 equipment is to send text messages of up to 140 characters (160 if the destination address is a telephone number). You can write a new message using the text keyboard (Select Text/New in the Messages submenu of the Main Menu), or select one of the messages stored in the out tray (Text/Outbox). Once the message is written or one is chosen from the outbox, select its destination address as explained in section 8.3 (Status messages). Then press the soft key ‘Send’. The equipment will indicate the result of the transmission with an information message. When a new status message is received, the equipment informs the user by means of an information screen that a message has been received and the symbol is displayed, which informs that you have a new unread message. In Text/Inbox, you can see all the text messages received, and in Text/Configure, you can access the different parameters that can be modified in the text message service, such as activation of delivery reports, for example. MDT-400 / DT-410 enable the reception of text messages immediately. The characteristic of this special type of message is that its content is displayed on the screen as soon as it is received.
User Manual 32en 9 SPECIAL FUNCTIONS 9.1 Emergency calls By keeping key pressed, an emergency call is begun, which has maximum priority and will cancel any call being made at that moment. This type of call can be configured by programming, and can be: private semi-duplex direct call, group call, broadcast call, telephone call (PSTN, PABX) or status message. It is also possible to configure the emergency call in DMO, being able to configure a different call destination in V+D and DMO. The emergency icon will be displayed flashing on the display. If the equipment cannot establish the call or send the status message, it will continue trying, unless the user cancels the call by pressing the emergency key again. After a loss of service or equipment being switched off, the emergency call will try to be re-established when the equipment is operational again if the parameter “Continue emergency call” is enabled by programming. If the emergency call is a voice call, there is an initial automatic transmission time (5 seconds by default) for semi-duplex calls, without having to press PTT. When this time is over, the user must press PTT to transmit as usual (if it is a semi-duplex call). This type of call can also be initiated by activating an external input (available in the rear connector) to which, for example, an emergency pressure pad can be connected. Consult your Service Provider about the availability of this option.
User Manual 33 en It is possible to configure two additional codes – emergency codes – such as 112, 999 or others. When the user enters these codes on the keyboard, the MDT-400 sends the emergency call as programmed. In addition, the sending of standard emergency message can also be configured (Status code: 0) just before carrying out the event programmed for the emergency key. Another possible configuration, only available by programming, is to define the PTT as priority within the active call. This option enables the definition of priority users, who will be able to interrupt the person speaking during a call in progress. 9.2 Working modes: Direct mode This special mode, called DMO, enables you to communicate directly with other TETRA equipment without needing to use a network. To access DMO mode, select the Working Modes/DMO menu, or press the rapid access configured in your equipment for this function. In DMO mode, you may carry out group calls and individual calls. The emergency button will also be available, with which you can carry out a call with maximum priority (pre-emptive), as detailed in the previous section. Each group programmed to work in DMO mode has a frequency associated, so that a change of group implies a change of frequency and only equipment with the same group selected will be able to communicate with one another in this working mode. Individual calls will be carried out using the active channel, i.e., the one associated to the selected group.
User Manual 34en Group calls To start a group call in DMO mode, select the group with the navigation arrows keys and press PTT. The operation is similar to a group call in network mode. Individual calls To start a private call, first dial the destination number or select it from the phone book. Then press PTT. 9.3 Working modes: DMO-GATE mode This section describes the DMO and V+D functionality supported by MDT-400 working in DMO-Gateway mode. To access DMO-Gateway mode, select the Working modes/Gateway menu or press the rapid access F + #. In this working mode, the MDT-400 will act as a bridge in the communications between equipment in DMO mode and the infrastructure. All the supplementary services are disabled in this working mode. The Data Packet Transmission service is also disabled, as is the sending and receiving of status and text messages, by both the user and the application. DMO-GATE enables communication between DMO and TMO in end to end encrypted mode. The only phone book that exists in the equipment working in this mode is an assignment table where a group configured in V+D is matched to another group configured in DMO. The same groups stored in the group phone book are used. The programming tool creates the DMO - V+D matching. The scanning lists are not enabled.
User Manual 35 en All the audio and voice signalling is disabled in this working mode, except the tones for establishing, maintaining and ending calls. 9.4 Security The equipment has the following security services: - PIN code From the User settings/PIN code menu you can enable or disable the request for a PIN code on turning on the equipment as well as modify this code. - Authentication MDT-400 / DT-410 supports the authentication of the radio equipment by the infrastructure, which ensures that the user trying to connect to the network has a valid permission to do so. This service requires the equipment to have its corresponding code installed. To change the code you must contact your Service Provider. - Remote enabling / disabling of the equipment. The MDT-400 / DT-410 can be enabled or disabled from the infrastructure, through the air interface. This disablement can be temporary or permanent. Recovery of a temporally disabled unit is carried out by the infrastructure. In the case of permanent disablement contact your Service Provider to have the equipment put back into operation.
User Manual 36en - Air Interface encryption (optional) This service protects communication between the radio equipment and the infrastructure from possible undesired listening in. This encryption is only carried out in networks that support this service. The encryption algorithms for the Air Interface encryption which are available in the MDT-400 are: TEA1, TEA2, TEA3. - End-to-end encryption (optional) This functionality is particularly interesting for those users who regard their transmissions as very sensitive, and whose Security Policy requires all such data to be appropriately encrypted whilst in transit between the end terminals in any system. End-to-end encryption addresses these concerns by encrypting data within the transmitting terminal, and only decrypting it within the receiving terminal(s). The plain text user data is never exposed within the infrastructure. Batteries and accumulators If your terminal includes End to End Encryption option, it may have a 3.6 V lithium battery, with low self-discharge rate. In case you need to extract the battery from the terminal, consult your official dealer.

You may choose a new work network from the list of permitted networks available. 9.6 Supplementary services The following TETRA supplementary services are also available in your MDT-400 / DT-410 terminal (none of them requires any additional action on the part of the user in the Options menu): - Late entry: This supplementary service enables the device to join a group call that is already in progress. - Ambience listening: Ambience listening enables a control centre or dispatcher to listen in to a unit and hear what is going on around it, without giving the user any visual or acoustic indication of this call. Ambience listening is only possible is the unit is not already occupied with another call. Likewise, the supplementary ambience listening service does not prevent the affected user from making or receiving other calls. - DGNA: Dynamic group assignment. Both individually and group addressed DGNA groups are supported - Fallback mode (local mode): MDT-400 / DT-410 support working in a cell in local mode (disconnected from the rest of the system) indicating this situation to the user through the MMI. The equipment will avoid registering in local mode cells unless there is no other available cell. The services available in this mode will depend on the system configuration. Consult your supplier about other services and special options available.
User Manual 38en 9.7 Data services MDT-400 / DT-410 include a data packet service (mono and multislot) based on IP version 4. While the data packet context is active, the symbol appears in the icon area of the display. The MDT-400 / DT-410 supports AT and TNP1 commands of the PEI protocol for connecting to external devices and the remote control of the equipment.
