81
14221-1800-2000, Rev. G
When using Preemptive Priority Scan, the frequencies in the list need to be unique.
NOTE
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.
NOTE
82
14221-1800-2000, Rev. G
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.
NOTE
6.14.4

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.

OTAP
The radio supports Over-the-Air-Programming (OTAP) via ProFile Manager. 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.

CHANNEL USAGE
NARROWBANDING
The FCC has mandated that all public safety radios manufactured after January 1, 2013 comply with
narrowbanding restrictions. 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.

10.2 OTAR ERRORS/INFORMATION
WORKAROUNDS:
1. Zeroize.
2. Load proper KEK from the Harris Key Loader or Motorola KVL.
IF RADIO INDICATES:
1. INVALID KEYSTORE ZEROIZE NEEDED - This occurs if the radio’s keys were loaded by the
Harris Key Loader followed by an attempt to load UKEKs with the Key Loader or keys with the
Motorola KVL.
Fix by performing workaround 1, followed by 2.
2. NO UKEK – Displayed during a zeroize performed from the radio or a zeroize initiated from the
KMF.
Fix by performing workaround 2.
3. Zeroize Complete – KMF has zeroized the radio.
Fix by performing workaround 2.
4. Disabled OTAR Icon (red slash) – OTAR is disabled while in scan, talkaround, emergency, and
monitor.
Fix by disabling these features. Icon will be corrected (no red slash).
5. Gray OTAR Icon (no red slash) – OTAR has not registered with tower (Conventional or Trunked
system).
Fix by verifying proper frequencies.
If the radio is turned to the OTAR channel out of range of a conventional tower, and then comes
in range after 3 minutes, fix by issuing an OTAR. Rekey, leaving and re-enter the OTAR channel.
6. Green OTAR Icon – OTAR is registered, all is well.
If update fails, verify you are in range of the tower and the KEK is correct.
7. Blue OTAR Icon – OTAR is attempting to rekey.
If rekey fails, verify you are in range of the tower and the KEK is correct.

APPENDIX A WI-FI PROGRAMMING
CAUTION
NOTE
NOTE
A.1
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).
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).

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
NOTE
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.

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.
NOTE
A.7
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.
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®
121
14221-1800-2000, Rev. G
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.
