1. Applicability
This manual describes how to configure and use Cobham C-5000 Communication Management
Controllers with part numbers in the 31300-1X02-XXXX series (where X can be any digit), and the civil
support software configuration. Although this manual is largely applicable to previous software versions,
some recently added features may not be available, and minor operational changes in previously
available features may exist.
2. Glossary
AM – Acronym for “Amplitude Modulation”. In this type of modulation, the amplitude of the signal is varied
in proportion to the voice or data input signal. The signal quality can be severely degraded because of
lightning or man made electrical noise. AM is only used in the frequency ranges 108 to 152 MHz and 225
to 400 MHz. All air traffic control functions use AM modulation.
Audio Phase – The RT-5000 can invert the phase of the audio signal during transmit or receive. This is
sometimes necessary for DPL systems to work.
Bandwidth – A term used to describe the amount of frequency a channel has to transmit a signal. Two of
the most common FM channel bandwidths are 12.5 kHz (Narrow) and 25 kHz (Standard). Some special
signals, such as military encryption, work best when using 35 kHz (Wide) or 70 kHz (Extra-wide)
channels. All of these bandwidths are available in the RT-5000.
Channel – A group of radio characteristics, such as RX & TX frequencies, modulation, power levels, etc.
CMC – An acronym for Communication Management Controller. The C-5000 is a CMC.
CTCSS – Acronym for “Continuous Coded Squelch System”.
DCS – Acronym for “Digital Coded Squelch”
DES – Acronym for “Digital Encryption Standard”. This is an algorithm by which signals are encrypted.
Deviation – The amount of peak change the RF signal varies from the carrier in proportion to the
amplitude of the voice signal.
DPL – Acronym for “Digital Private Line”. Also known as DCS.
DTMF – Dual Tone Multiple Frequency. On a telephone keypad, each row and column have unique audio
tones that are sent when a button is pushed. At the receiver, a decoder listens for a row tone and a
column tone and can determine from that, which button has been pushed.
Direct – Also known as simplex, car-to-car, and talk-around. This mode of operation allows you to bypass
the repeater and talk directly to another radio. TX and RX frequencies are the same.
Encryption – Method by which a signal is “scrambled” so that other listeners without the proper
encryption key cannot understand what is being transmitted.
Encryption Key – When encrypting a transmission, the algorithm used to scramble the information
requires both the transmitting and receiving devices to have a number. This number is called an
Encryption Key. Some systems are limited to one key and others are capable of having multiple keys.

Flexcomm I – First generation of Flexcomm control heads and transceivers. This includes the C-1000
control head and RT-30, RT-138(F), RT-450, RT-406F transceivers.
Flexcomm II – Second generation of Flexcomm control heads and transceivers. This includes the C-
5000 control head and RT-5000 multi-band transceiver.
FM – Acronym for “Frequency Modulation”. In this type of modulation, the frequency of the signal is varied
from its center point in proportion to the amplitude of the voice or data signal. Most importantly, this type
of modulation is not affected by lightning or other atmospheric noise.
Guard Receiver – Second receiver added to the transceiver to monitor a specific frequency. Some
common “guard” frequencies are 121.5, 243, Marine channel 16, and Marine channel 70. However, this
optional function can also be used to monitor a dispatch channel, or an important tactical frequency.
Some Guard receivers have a single frequency that is set in hardware Other options, available only in
the RT-5000, are a programmable dual channel receiver and a multi-band P25/Trunking compatible unit.
IF Injection – In a superhetrodyne receiver, high frequency signals are progressively lowered in
frequency until only the audio is left. This is done by multiplying the RF Signal by a sinewave either above
or below the RF carrier. Mathematically this results in an “Intermediate Frequency” (IF) that is the sum
and difference of the two signals The RT-5000 has the capability of having either High (Above) or Low
(Below) the signal frequency What this means is if you have a signal interfering with the desired signal.
Sometimes the interference can be eliminated by switching either the 2nd or 3rd injection setting.
Interoperability – The ability for different radio systems to communicate with each other directly. For
example, when one manufacturer’s radio products will communicate with another’s, they are said to be
“Interoperable”.
ITM – “Internal Transceiver Module”. This is the module that is physically placed in the Guard Receiver
slot in the RT-5000. This is the part of the radio that can perform P-25, encryption, and Motorola
Trunking. Each ITM covers a specific frequency band: 136-174, 380-470, 450-520, 764-870, and 806–
870 MHz. Up to two ITM’s can be put into one RT-5000 however one must be below 380 MHz and one
above 380 MHz.
KEYMAT – Another name for an encryption key.
KVL – Acronym for Key Variable Loader. It is a Motorola product for loading encryption keys into an
encryption capable radio.
Main Receiver – Full function receiver located in every transceiver.
Manual Channel – A special preset channel that allows the operator to manipulate channel information
without going into programming mode. On the C-5000 this special channel is labeled “..M” and is located
at channel 0.
MODE 1 – Operational mode of the C-5000/RT-5000 system where the operator does not know there is a
main and guard located in the transceiver. This simplifies the user interface dramatically. However, only
one receiver, the main or the ITM module in the Guard is in operation at one time so only one channel is
monitored.
MODE 2 – Operational mode of the C-5000/RT-5000 system where the main and guard receiver are both
monitoring frequencies at the same time. The user interface is more complex in that the user must select
using the silver “soft” buttons on the C-5000 which determine which channel to display and transmit on.

OTAR – Acronym for “Over The Air Re-key”. Method by which the Encryption Key is transmitted over the
radio channel, hence “over the air”.
P-25 – Digital Modulation Standard.
Page – The contents of the display, sometimes called a screen or view.
PL – Acronym for “Private Line”, also known as CTCSS or sub-audible tone.
Preset Channel – A channel that has been programmed into the memory of a control head or
transceiver.
Private – Another name for encryption.
Repeat – This mode of operation uses a ground or air based repeater to retransmit your signal to another
radio. TX and RX frequencies are different.
RP - Acronym for “Remote Programmer”. Cobham’s software to program the C-5000 with channel
information via a connector of the front of the C-5000 is called the RP Software. It is recommended that
this method is used whenever possible to program the C-5000 memory. While front panel programming is
available for emergencies, using the RP software is less prone to operator errors and automatically
provides for memory backup in case of control head failure.
CPS – Acronym for “Customer Programming Software”. A Motorola PC application used for configuring,
uploading, and downloading information into the RT-5000’s Internal Transceiver Modules.
RT System – Another way of saying Receiver/Transmitter System. Most often, the term refers to a single
transceiver. However, because the Flexcomm I transceivers can be grouped together and controlled as
one radio, it can refer to more than one transceiver. The C-5000 can control up to two RT systems.
RX – Abbreviation for “Receive”
Shadow Key – Special encryption key used to encrypt the keys received during the OTAR process.
Squelch level – Signal level at which the radio will detect a strong enough signal by the radio and audio
is allowed to go to the user.
Transceiver – A radio containing both a transmitter and a receiver, co-located in one box.
Trunking – A term used to describe a communication system that automatically assigns an available
channel to the operator. This type of system can improve channel use to the point that more
conversations are going on than channels available. There are many different Trunking systems
available. Most are proprietary to each manufacturer. In other words, systems built by different radio
manufacturers will NOT communicate with each other. Only the P25 Trunking standard guarantees
interoperability.
TX – Abbreviation for “Transmit”.
Volume – Loudness of a voice signal

3. Introduction
The Cobham C-5000 Communication Management Controller (CMC) is a microprocessor-based control
head device that controls one or two Cobham transceivers. The C-5000 supports the full line of Cobham
FLITECOMM, FLEXCOMM I, and FLEXCOMM II transceivers. This manual is intended to quickly instruct
the user on the basic operations of the C-5000 and also outline the advanced operations that set the C-
5000 apart from any other communication device.
A. Features
The C-5000 provides a host of powerful features, including
(1) Controls Cobham RT-5000, RT-406F, RT-450, RT-138(F), RT-30, RT-9600(F) and RT-
7200 transceivers.
(2) 700 preset channels, programmable from the front panel or using Cobham’s Remote
Programmer software.
Note: Software versions 10 and below are only capable of 350 preset channels.
(3) Users can dial in frequencies, PL tones, and transmit power on two “manual” channels.
Note: One manual channel available per RT system.
(4) Advanced multi-radio modes, such as Simulcast, Relay, Repeater, and Relay-Simulcast.
(5) Control encryption functions embedded in the RT-5000 transceiver such as APCO P25
compliant digital voice and encryption with Over the Air Re-key (OTAR) capability.
Note: Applicable to units with Motorola ITMs installed (-06xx or greater).
B. Transceiver Overview
The C-5000 provides support for the Cobham FLITECOMM, FLEXCOMM I, and FLEXCOMM II
transceivers. It is very important that users know the number and type of transceivers connected to
the C-5000, since different transceivers have very different capabilities and features. Here is a
summary of the supported transceivers and their capabilities:
1. FLEXCOMM II
This product line consists of the RT-5000 AM/FM transceiver, which covers the 29.7 to 960 MHz
frequency range. The optional Guard Receiver can be specified as a single channel crystal guard
(available in three frequency ranges), a tunable multi-channel guard (29.7 – 960 MHz), or a multi-
band digital-capable guard (available in four frequency ranges). RT-5000’s are equipped with
CTCSS and CS tones on both the Main and Guard Receivers. The MTM (digital-capable) Guard
variant of the RT-5000 adds support for P25 and Trunking channels, with encryption and over-the-air-
re-key (OTAR) capability.
2. FLEXCOMM I
This product line currently consists of the RT-30, RT-138F, and RT-406F transceivers. The C-5000
also supports the RT-118, RT-138, and RT-450 transceivers, which are no longer manufactured but
remain in wide use. The RT-30, RT-138F, and RT-406F FM transceivers cover the 29.7 to 49.99
MHz, 138.0 to 173.9975 MHz, and 406.0 to 511.9975 MHz frequency ranges, respectively. These
transceivers can be specified with a single-channel, crystal-controlled, Guard Receiver that operates
on a customer specified frequency. An optional Guard Receiver CTCSS decoder with programmable
Guard Receiver tone can also be specified.

3. FLITECOMM
This product line is no longer manufactured, but remains in wide use. It consisted of the RT-7200,
RT- 9600, and RT-9600F transceivers. They were available with a two-channel, crystal-controlled,
Guard Receiver that could be user-specified for any Guard frequency between 138.000 and 173.9950
MHz (RT-7200) or between 150.000 and 173.9975 MHz (RT-9600/9600F). They were equipped with
CTCSS tones on both the Main and Guard Receivers.
C. Steps to Successful Setup and Operation
IMPORTANT!!! CPS PROGRAMING NOTES:
ZONE 1 – CHANNEL 1 MUST BE ASSIGNED TO CONVENTIONAL (CNV) PERSONALITY 1, MUST
USE DIFFERENT RECEIVE AND TRANSMIT FREQUENCIES, AND HAVE “DIR/TALKAROUND
ENABLED”.
ZONES MUST BE SET FOR A MAXIMUM OF 16 CHANNELS PER ZONE, EXCEPT WHEN
UTILIZING SINGLE ZONE SETTINGS.
DO NOT ENABLE SCAN ON ANY PERSONALITY.
DO NOT CHANGE MENU OR DISPLAY OPTIONS. USE FACTORY SETTINGS ONLY.
WHEN MIXING DIRECT AND NONDIRECT CHANNELS WITHIN A ZONE, CHANNEL 1 OF THAT
ZONE MUST BE ASSIGNED TO CONVENTIONAL (CNV) PERSONALITY 1, MUST BE A DUPLEX
FREQUENCY, AND MUST HAVE “DIR/TALKAROUND” ENABLED.
The following checklist will help installers and initial users setup the C-5000 and RT-5000.
(1) Connect the C-5000 to the transceivers. Note part numbers of the Control Head and all
transceivers.
C-5000 Part Number = 31300-1X02- ____________
Radio #1 Model # = _________________ Part Number = ____________________
Radio #2 Model # = _________________ Part Number = ____________________
(2) Configure the C-5000 using the steps outlined in section 5 of this manual. You must know
the last four digits of the C-5000 part number and the last four digits of any RT-5000’s or the
model type of any Flexcomm/Flitecomm Transceiver.
Note: Your C-5000 software may not be updated to include all versions of RT-5000’s.
Use Appendix D to find alternative RT-5000 part numbers to enter.
(3) If Radio #1 is an RT-5000 that has a MTM Guard Receiver (-06XX or greater) connect a PC
to the 9-pin programming port of the RT-5000 and run the Motorola CPS software.
(4) Put the C-5000 in CPS mode for radio #1 and select the first ITM (Internal Transceiver
Module) to appear.

Operator’s Manual
(5) Using the CPS software, read the codeplug out of the ITM. Save this first as a back-up in
case you need to return to the factory setting.
(6) Modify system settings for your application. Program the personalities and assign
Zone/Channels. It is important to use good channel identifiers so CPS operators can
efficiently determine the purpose of the channel. Whenever possible, use the same channel
names as used by the ground personnel to avoid using the wrong preset.
Note: These steps require significant knowledge of the Motorola software. We encourage
enlisting the help of someone familiar with Motorola CPS software to successfully program
the ITM.
(7) Save the modified codeplug to the hard drive and load it into the ITM.
(8) Do the above for the second ITM if there is one in Radio #1.
(9) Do the above for Radio #2 only if it’s an RT-5000 with an MTM Guard (-06XX or greater).
(10) Using the front panel, or better yet the Cobham RpWin software, program all preset channels
into the C-5000, including the ones programmed into each ITM module in the steps above.
(11) Using a communication analyzer or over the air test, verify that each radio and channel
operates properly.

B. Configuring the C-5000 to Control an RT-5000
This section covers the radio setup sub-menu pages. Refer to the section on configuring the C-5000
for details on how to reach these menu pages. This section assumes the C-5000 part number you
entered indicated an RT-5000 was present for Radio #1. We pick up at the following display page.
S E T U P : 2 = N E X T 3 = B A C K
E N T E R = SETUP RADI O # 1
(1) Press the ENTER button to begin configuring the RT-5000.

(2) Use the cursor/value knobs to input the last four digits of your RT-5000’s part number. Press
the MODE button to display the next menu page.
Note: If the RT-5000 part number you enter is rejected, and you are sure you are entering a
valid part number, it is likely your flavor of RT-5000 was created after the C-5000
software was released. Since the C-5000 software has no knowledge of this part
number, it will reject it. Until your C-5000 software gets updated, you may enter an
“equivalent” part number. Refer to Appendix D for a complete list.
S Y S # 1 : 2 = N E X T 3 = B A C K

F. Configuring the C-5000 Using a PC
Cobham highly recommends using the PC based Remote Programmer (RP) software to specify the
C-5000’s configuration. The Remote Programmer software offers several advantages over using
theC-5000’s front panel which includes:
(1) Allowing you to specify a C-5000’s configuration in less time.
(2) Enhanced error checking reduces the likelihood of specifying an incorrect configuration.
(3) A configuration can be specified once and loaded to multiple C-5000’s, saving huge amounts
of data entry time.
(4) Configurations can be saved, archived, and backed-up, reducing the likelihood of lost data.
(5) Configurations can be uploaded from the C-5000’s as well, saving data entry time on existing
configurations.
Refer to the Remote Programmer software’s user manual 150-041374 for details on how to specify C-
5000 configurations in RpWin.
G. Downloading a Configuration from RP into the C-5000
The C-5000 continuously polls the data port on the front panel for incoming data, so all the user has
to do is initiate the download from RpWin. Refer to RpWin’s user manual for details on how to initiate
a download. Once the communication channel is open, the C-5000’s display will change to the
following:
M E M O RY TRANSFER

The 3-digit hexadecimal number to the right of the display on the lower line will increment from 000 to
2FF while the download is in progress. When the download is complete, the C-5000 will automatically
restart.
H. Uploading a Configuration from the C-5000 into RpWin
The C-5000’s current configuration can be uploaded into the RpWin software as follows:
(1) From the HOME page, press the PROG button, and enter the appropriate password.
(2) Press the MODE button until the following display page appears:
P R O G : 2 = N E X T 3 = B A C K
< E N T E R > = R P L O A D
(3) Press the ENTER button to display the following page:
M E M O RY TRANSFER
S T A R T SENDING
(4) Ensure the serial cable is connected to both the PC and the C-5000. Ensure the RpWin
software is ready to receive data. Refer to RpWin’s user manual for details on how to prepare
RpWin to receive data. Press the LOWER SOFT button on the C-5000 to initiate the transfer.
Once the communication channel is open, the C-5000’s display will change to the following:
M E M O RY TRANSFER
S E N D I NG BLOCK= 0 0 0
(5) The 3-digit hexadecimal number to the right of the display on the lower line will increment
from 000 to 2FF while the upload is in progress. When the upload is complete, the C-5000’s
display will return to the following:
P R O G : 2 = N E X T 3 = B A C K
< E N T E R > = R P L O A D
(6) Press the HOME button to return to the HOME PAGE.
Note: You will most likely want to save the uploaded data to a disk file on the PC. Refer to

6. CPS Software Description and Programming
A. Before You Begin
To program the ITM(s) inside the RT-5000 the user must use a Windows based PC and Motorola’s
CPS software. Users must obtain their own copies of the software from Motorola as Cobham cannot
supply it. The programming of the ITM requires three basic steps. First, enter the information that has
to do with the setup of the way the RT-5000 communicates with the ITM. Second enter channel
information, or what Motorola calls “Personalities”, and finally assign the personalities to Zones and
Channels. It may help tremendously to enlist the help of an experienced CPS programmer.
Note: Do Not simply write a portable file into the RT-5000 because this will overwrite data that
should not be altered.
If your agency uses Motorola XTS-X000 model handhelds, the simplest way to get started is to use
an archive from a known properly programmed XTS-X000. Then transfer a single channel to the
Publication No. 150-041102 Page 31 of 88
Rev E C-5000 Operators Manual
FLEXCOMM I I
C-5000 ( P-25 Capable)
Operator’s Manual
resident archive stored in the RT-5000 ITM from the factory. Add more channels once the first one is
proven.
Alternatively, the ITM comes from the factory with all the necessary information loaded in it for basic
operation. The user only needs to load system information such as USER ID’s, personalities,
and zone/channel allocation. Once an archive for an ITM is established, it can be cloned to other
ITM’s in other RT-5000’s of the same flavor.
The CPS software only allows the programmer to see and change functions that are available with
the hardware it is trying to program. As such, not all of the screens listed will be seen for every
model of ITM.
There are (2) versions of CPS that may apply to the RT-5000 depending upon P/N as follows:
RT-5000 P/N 400-015525-0611 through -3511 uses CPS for XTS-3000 Portable radios. CPS P/N
RVN4182, which is 1 portion of a 2 disk set ordered under P/N RVN4184.
Note: There is no need for a RIB (Radio Interface Box) when using the RT-5000. The RIB is
already built into the radio.
RT-5000 P/N 400-015525-5011 and above uses CPS for XTS-5000 Portable Radios. CPS P/N
RVN4181, which is 1 portion of a 2 disk set ordered under P/N RVN4186.

North American Customers: 1-800-422-4210
U.S.A. Federal Customers: 1-800-826-1913
International Customers: 1-847-538-8023
B. CPS Code PMA File Details
For a detailed description and help understanding CPS and the numerous options within you may
refer to the built in CPS help tool and tutorials. Further definition of each entry may be obtained by
pressing F1 with the entry highlighted on the screen.
Note: The following is a general guideline for programming the RT-5000 ITM’s using the CPS
software. Not all of the RT-5000 flavors will follow the same settings as outlined in this
manual due to various setting requirements for each specific flavor. Please remember
to never modify the Controls and Display and Menu Options unless instructed to do so, as
they are set at the factory per the RT-5000 flavor requirement.

Appendix B – Mode 2 Operation
Overview
The C-5000 has the capability to control the RT-5000 in such a way that the user can monitor both the
main and the Guard (ITM) channel at the same time. This mode of operation is more difficult to use than
MODE 1.
The Home Page
The only visible difference in the HOME PAGE from Mode 1 operation is in the Main/Guard status fields.
The illustration below depicts the HOME PAGE for a system comprised of two digital RT-5000 radios.
Both radios are configured to operate in Mode 2. The Main transceiver is the active transceiver on radio
1. The digital transceiver (Guard) is the active transceiver on radio 2. The active transceiver is the one
that will transmit when the push-to-talk switch is depressed.

Setting the Active Transceiver
You can toggle the active transceiver for a radio between Main and Guard by pressing the soft keys. The
UPPER SOFT KEY toggles the active transceiver for radio 1. The LOWER SOFT KEY toggles the active
transceiver for radio 2. The following sequence of illustrations demonstrates this process for radio 1.

Selecting Preset Channels
Selecting preset channels in Mode 2 is conceptually the same as in Mode 1. If an MTM Guard receiver is
active, the user can only select preset channels programmed for an ITM, and the main transceiver will
only allow you to select channels programmed for a main transceiver. A ramification of this is that you
cannot select the manual channel while the Guard receiver is active.

Appendix C – Single Microphone Operation
Overview
Starting with software modification 11 (SWID 11), the C-5000 has the ability to control both radios with a
single microphone/headset. This feature, hereafter called single-mic mode, is useful for installations
where audio panel space is limited, or it is otherwise impractical to dedicate two ports to the C-5000.
The main features of single-mic mode are as follows:
Audio from all enabled sources are routed to the primary headset.
The operator can dynamically select which transceiver will be used for transmit.
Supports both Mode 1 and Mode 2 operation.
Configuring Single-Mic Mode
You can configure the C-5000’s microphone mode using either the Cobham Remote Programmer
software or from the C-5000’s front panel. To set the option using the Remote Programmer software,
simply select Single or Dual from the Mic Mode combo box, located on the Hardware Configuration
screen. To set the option from the C-5000’s front panel, simply select SINGLE or DUAL from the option
list on the MIC MODE configuration page. This page, depicted below, is located under the SETUP MISC.
sub-menu of the CFG SYSTEM menu.

The Home Page
The main visible difference in single-mic mode is the addition of the active RT indicator, displayed as an
unfilled triangle. The active RT indicator shows which RT will be used for transmit. The illustration below
depicts the HOME PAGE for a system comprised of two digital RT-5000 radios. Both radios are
configured to operate in Mode 2. The Main transceiver of radio 1 is the both the active transceiver for
radio 1 and the active RT for the entire system. The digital transceiver (Guard) is the active transceiver
on radio 2.

Setting the Active RT
You can change the active RT by pressing the soft keys. If radio 1 does not already contain the active
RT, pressing the UPPER SOFT key will make radio 1’s active transceiver the active RT. If radio 1 already
contains the active RT, pressing the UPPER SOFT key toggles the active RT between radio 1’s Main and
Guard. The LOWER SOFT key performs the same operations for radio 2. The following sequence of
illustrations demonstrates changing the active RT using the soft keys.

Muting Inactive Receivers
The C-5000 can be configured such that the DIM key invokes the MUTE function rather than the DIM
function. When MUTE is active, the audio from all non-active transceivers will be muted. Muted
transceivers are indicated by an ‘M’ character in their status fields. See depiction below.

Appendix D – Equivalent Part Numbers
Because RT-5000’s and C-5000’s are maintained as separate products, there can be circumstances
when a new flavor (part number) of RT-5000 is released, but the C-5000 is not yet aware of its existence.
This problem manifests itself as rejected part numbers in the C-5000 configuration pages for RT-5000
radios. Should this occur, the work around is to enter an RT-5000 part number that will make the C-5000
function properly for the intended radio. As far as the C-5000 is concerned, only the module and
encryption types are significant.
Should your RT-5000 part number be rejected by the C-5000, find an RT-5000 part number (last 4 digits)
in the table that has the equivalent part number to the RT-5000 you are trying to configure. Enter the
equivalent part number into the C-5000 configuration pages, and your RT-5000 should function properly.
