ENHANCED FEATURES
A site containing GETCs with Enhanced Features
enabled (using Release 6 or later software), and a SIM
(using Release 1 application software) that is connected to a
System Manager (using Release 6 or later software), has the
following features in addition to the standard features
offered by a Basic EDACS or SCAT site.
Dynamic Site Reconfiguration
Parameters for the following trunking features may be
reconfigured remotely through the System Manager when
needed, without disrupting service on the system:
• Unit Enable / Disable by LID - The Unit Enable /
Disable feature allows the System Manager to
remotely enable or disable individual radio units.
• Validation by GID - The GID validation feature
allows the site to deny call requests to GIDs not
defined in the database. GIDs may be added or
deleted from the database by the System Manager.
• Priority Queuing by GID - The priority queuing
feature allows the site to assign queued calls to
available channels using a system of priorities. The
priority for each call type (Voice, Data, and Digital
Voice) for each defined GID may be reconfigured
by the System Manager.
• Message Trunking by GID - GIDs with a Hang
Time greater than 0 are message trunked (the same
channel will be used for each transmission). The
Hang Time for each GID may be reconfigured by
the System Manager. (This feature is not supported
in a SCAT site.)
• Confirmed Call by GID - The confirmed call
feature allows the site to assign each radio logged
into that GID to a Working Channel before the
caller is allowed to talk. This feature may be
enabled or disabled for each GID by the System
Manager. (This feature is not supported in a SCAT
site.)
Monitoring & Reporting
Alarm Reporting
The SIM reports the following alarms to the System
Manager:
• Poll Alarm - Indicates that poll responses from a
Working Channel or Downlink GETC are not
being received by the Control Channel GETC).
• Carrier Alarm - Indicates the presence of an RF
carrier without proper signaling (possible
interfering signal or deliberate jamming).
• Auxiliary Alarm - Indicates the detection of a Test
Unit alarm by the TUAI at a Simulcast transmitter
site.
• Phone Alarm - Indicates the absence of data from a
Voter in Voted or Simulcast System (possible line
noise or breakage on link from Voter to GETC).
• MASTR III PA Failure Alarm - Indicates that a
specific repeater’s output power has dropped below
the threshold level. (Note: See System
Requirements for upgrading sites.)
• Voter Alarm - Indicates that error messages are
being received by GETC from Voter.
• MASTR III Synthesizer Unlock Alarm - Indicates
that a specific repeater’s synthesizer is not locked.
(See System Requirements for upgrading sites.)
• GETC Turbo Board Failure Alarm - Indicates a
disruption in communication between a specific
GETC’s main processor and Turbo Board.
• BSL Failure Alarm - Indicates that no polling
message has been received (by the SIM) from the
Control Channel GETC for 15 seconds.
Site Activity Monitoring
Alarm and trunking activity at the site may be
monitored in real time on the System Manager’s Alarm
Display and Acknowledge screen, and Site Monitor screen.
Activity Records
Activity records for alarm and trunking activity at the
site are periodically sent to the System Manager for use in
making reports.
