9EnglishINTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTIONWelcome to Motorola’s CDM Series family of radio users. The CDM1550•LS+™, the Intelligent Radio, combines the very latest in two-way technology while delivering outstanding functionality at the touch of a button.The CDM1550•LS+ mobile radio operates on PassPort and LTR trunked and conventional radio systems. TRUNKED RADIO SYSTEMSTrunked systems allow a large number of users to share a relatively small number of frequencies or repeaters without interfering with each other. The airtime of all the repeaters in a trunked system is pooled, which maximizes the amount of airtime available to any one radio and minimizes channel congestion. PassPort® Trunked SystemsPassPort is an enhanced trunking protocol developed by Trident Datacom Technologies, Inc. that supports wide area dispatch networking. A network is formed by linking several trunked sites together to form a single system. This offers users an extended communication coverage area. Additionally, users with PassPort can seamlessly roam among all sites within the network. Seamless roaming means that the radio user does not have to manually change the zones on the radio when roaming from site-to-site. LTR® Trunked SystemsLTR is a transmission based trunking protocol developed by the E. F. Johnson Company for primarily single site trunking applications. In transmission trunking, a repeater is used for only the duration of a single transmission. Once a transmission is completed, that repeater becomes available to other users. This means that a conversation comprised of many transmissions may occur over several different channels within the LTR system. This method of trunking provides system efficiency 02_Introduction.fm Page 9 Tuesday, July 23, 2002 4:50 PM
10EnglishINTRODUCTIONby making repeaters available to all users after every transmission.CONVENTIONAL RADIO SYSTEMS Conventional radio systems typically refers to unit-to-unit communications through a single channel. Conventional systems also allow radio users to extend communication coverage by relaying their messages through a repeater. To ensure coordinated use by multiple talkgroups, each radio user must monitor the channel or repeater before transmitting to verify that the system is not currently busy. CDM1550•LS+ RADIO FEATURESCDM1550•LS+ Radio Feature Highlights:Radio Wide Features• 14-Character Alphanumeric Display• 4 Programmable Feature Buttons• Up to 15 PassPort and/or LTR Zones with up to 16 Talkgroups per Zone• Up to 16 Conventional Channels• X-Pand Audio Enhancement Selectable by Conventional Channel, LTR Repeater or PassPort Talkgroup• Home Channel• Telephone Interconnect• User-programmable Phone and Scan Lists• Voice Storage CapabilityPassPort Zone Features• Unique Mobile Identity Number per Radio• Unique Electronic Serial Number per Radio• Registration/Deregistration upon power up/power down• Automatic Seamless Roaming between Networked Sites• Registered Site and Mobile Identity View• User Initiated Roam Request• PassPort Primary Group Auto Scan andPassPort ScanNote: Throughout this manual there are features listed as trunked and con-ventional.

33EnglishPASSPORT TRUNKINGPASSPORT TRUNKINGPassPort is an enhanced, wide-area trunking protocol developed by Trident Datacom Technologies, Inc. Up to 128 trunked sites can be linked together to form one PassPort system, which means that your communications can extend far beyond the reach of a single trunked site. SEAMLESS ROAMINGPassPort Trunking systems offer you the ability to seamlessly roam among all sites in a network. Seamless Roaming means that you do not have to manually change the zones on the radio when roaming from site-to-site. As you roam throughout a PassPort System’s coverage area, your CDM1550•LS+ radio is regularly monitoring the RSSI (Received Signal Strength Indication) level of the site on which you are currently registered. In addition, if the signal strength falls below the acceptable threshold pre-programmed by your dealer, your radio starts monitoring the RSSI level of adjacent sites within the network. This allows the CDM1550•LS+ radio to quickly roam to the site with the strongest signal, which provides you with optimal audio quality throughout your communications. Initial RegistrationBefore communications with your talkgroup can begin, your radio needs to register on the PassPort system. Registration automatically takes place upon radio power up or after selecting the desired PassPort zone on the selector knob. What you see: 1Upon radio Power up, you see: (if you select a PassPort zone after the radio is powered up, see step 2).2The selected PassPort zone alias appears on the display.3The selected Talkgroup Alias appears on the display.PASSPORTZONE ALIASTLKGRP ALIAS
34EnglishPASSPORT TRUNKINGRoaming and Registering Between SitesOnce initial registration with the PassPort system has occurred, your radio constantly monitors the RSSI to ensure an acceptable signal level is maintained (as programmed by your dealer). When the RSSI in the radio falls below this acceptable level, the radio attempts to roam to and register onto another site within the PassPort system. This process happens automatically and requires no action by you. What you see:Note: If the radio performs a more extensive frequency search in order to attempt successful registration, you may see on the display:4Upon successful PassPort Registration, you see:Note: Your radio sounds a “Low-High” tone upon successful PassPort System registra-tion. The XXX number indicates the site within the PassPort system on which you have regis-tered. 5After successfully registering at a site, the selected PassPort talkgroup alias appears and remains on the display.SEARCHINGREG SITE XXXTLKGRP ALIAS1When the radio is searching for a new site or attempting successful registration to a site, you see on the display:Note: This message is displayed until suc-cessful registration. 2When the radio has successfully regis-tered to the new PassPort System, XXX indicates the site number you see on the display.SEARCHINGREG SITE XXX

36EnglishPASSPORT TRUNKINGROAM REQUESTBecause of the RSSI feature, the radio automatically roams to a different site when the signal from the registered site becomes too weak for quality communication. This RSSI threshold is programmed by your dealer. However, if you believe the signal strength would be better on another site, you may want to manually initiate the roaming process. This feature is called Roam Request.To Start a Roam Request 1Press the preprogrammed Roam Request button (see page 21).2When the radio is searching for a new site or attempting successful registration to a site, you see on the display:3When the radio has successfully regis-tered to the new PassPort System, you see on the display:SEARCHINGREG SITE XXXNote: A bad key chirp may sound and you see on the display:• When registration to a site with a higher RSSI than your current site is unavailable. • When the preprogrammed button is pressed before the radio has collected its “neighbor list”.
