What is BIIS 1200?What is BIIS 1200?What is BIIS 1200?What is BIIS 1200?

BIIS 1200 (Binary Interchange of Information and

Signalling ) is a signalling protocol standardized by

ETSI (European Telecommunications Standards

Institute). The protocol allows users to send and

receive short status messages as well as messaging

updates.

The 1200 in the BIIS 1200 name signifies that data is

transmitted at the high speed rate of 1200 bits per

second (Baud) MSK modulation.

Key FeaturesKey FeaturesKey FeaturesKey FeaturesCompatible with conventional radiosCompatible with conventional radiosCompatible with conventional radiosCompatible with conventional radios

The BIIS radios are fully compatible with the

conventional version of other Icom models.

Conventional channels and BIIS channels are

programmable in the same radio and can be selected

on site.

Transport, logistics, utilities, public safety... Those professional mobile

users require efficient but cost effective systems for managing their

organization. The BIIS 1200 standard is the best choice to add a data

service to an existing system. The BIIS system provides AVL, text and

status message services as well as voice communication.

If the dispatch acknowledges an emergency message,

the dispatcher can make the radio transmit whatever

the radio microphone picks up for a preprogrammed

period. That way, the dispatch can listen in on the

environment where the call is coming from, to help

identify if an emergency really is taking place or what

else might be going on near the user.

The MDC 1200 system enhances the transceiver’s signalling capabilities with

Selective call, PTT ID and emergency call functions. It is ideal for wide variety of

business and industries including security services, plant security,

transportation, etc,. Icom's MDC 1200 compatible models easily integrate into

an existing MDC 1200 fleet cost effectively, while providing the advantages of

Icom quality and value.

DANGER DANGER DANGER DANGER Charge the specified Icom batteries only. Only

tested and approved for use with genuine Icom

batteries. Fire and/or explosion may occur when a third

party battery pack or counterfeit product is charged.

CAUTION! NEVER CAUTION! NEVER CAUTION! NEVER CAUTION! NEVER insert battery pack/transceiver (with

the battery pack attached) in a wet or soiled condition

into the charger. This may result in corrosion of the

charger terminals or damage to the charger. The charger

is not waterproof and water can easily get into it.

NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER incinerate used battery packs. Internal battery

gas may cause an explosion.

NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER immerse the battery pack in water. If the battery

pack becomes wet, be sure to wipe it dry BEFORE

attaching it to the transceiver.

NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER short the terminals of the battery pack. Also,

current may flow into nearby metal objects, such as a

necklace, etc. Therefore, be careful when carrying with,

or placing near metal objects, carrying in handbags, etc.

AVOID AVOID AVOID AVOID leaving the battery pack in a fully charged, or

completely discharged condition for long time. It causes

shorter battery life. In case of leaving the battery pack

unused for a long time, it must be kept safely after

discharge, or use the battery until the battery indicator

appears, then remove it from the transceiver. If your

battery pack seems to have no capacity even after being

charged, fully charge the battery pack again.

If the batteries still do not retain a charge (or very little),

new battery pack must be purchased.

your message through to the correct person

easily. Easily identify other users by name as

they communicate.

Call AlertCall AlertCall AlertCall Alert In an open channel environment it allows users

emergency signal, the radio automatically

ceases sending out the signal, clearing the

channel for normal traffic.

Allows users to quickly identify who

transmitted an emergency signal. The PTT ID

of the unit that transmitted the emergency

call is displayed on screen. Essential for the

public safety and plant security, as well as in

any hazardous, high-risk area. The silent

mode allows the user to call for help without

alerting the people around them.

1. Originally called “Quick Call”, this signalling protocol

was developed by Motorola in the 1950’s.

2. 2-Tone (Quick Call) was designed to add Squelch

specificity especially for emergency service radios.

3. LMR consists of two distinct signals sent over the air

to a radio or a group.

4. Each tone can be configured within a 250 Hz and

3300 Hz tone frequency.

in the proximity of the radio. This is also very useful

in emergency cases where the user may not be able

to trigger the microphone.

5. “Stun/Kill – This function allows the dispatch

console to disable, temporarily or permanently, a unit

using the 2-Tone capabilities. When “Stun” is used,

the unit may regain its functionality by entering a

password. When Kill is used, the radio only regains

functionality by reprogramming the unit using the

cloning software.

5. Normally, the duration of the tones varies from one

(1) to three (3) seconds in length no space between

the tones. Tone lengths of up to 10 seconds are

commonly seen in existing applications.

6. ICOM radios allow variable tone periods and spaces

(no tone) between the tones.

2222----Tone Features Tone Features Tone Features Tone Features

1. “Selective Calling” – allows the dispatch console to

page an individual unit. Early models only allowed 1

(one) encoding tone set per channel or up to 3

(three) receive tones in the radio. Newer ICOM radios

allows the programming of up to 10 (ten) tones that

can be used all in one channel if necessary.

2. “Group Calling” - allows the dispatch console to page

a group.

3. “Answer Back Call” – Also known as “Radio Check”

allows the dispatch console or another portable, to

send a tone to a particular radio and when the target

radio receives the tone it answers back with another

tone. This function serves as a tool to verify if a unit

is “ON” and within range.

4. “Auto Transmit” – Also known as “Radio Spy” allows

the dispatcher to send a 2-Tone signal to the radio

causing it to open its transmitter microphone audio

(Hot Mic) in order to listen to whatever is happening

6. “Scan Start/Cancel” – Using 2-Tone a dispatcher can

send a signal to a radio or a group to commence the

“Scan” function of the radio. If used with a group of

users, this feature allows the dispatcher to regroup

everyone in a different, but common channel. This

feature is also known as “Radio Regroup”.

ICOM ICOM ICOM ICOM 2222----Tone Tone Tone Tone Radio Enhancements include:Radio Enhancements include:Radio Enhancements include:Radio Enhancements include:

1. RX Code Text – Allows the programmer to add an

“Alpha Numeric” text tag to each tone for

identification at decode and encode if the unit has a

display.

2. Variable Signals – This allows the user/programmer

to set the “Beep and Bell” to different formats for

easier identification when a signal is received.

3. Tones Assignable on a Channel by Channel Basis –

The newer Icom radios allow the programmer to

enter in ten (10) tone sets, which can be used for

both encode AND decode if necessary. Each channel

has the capability to use all tones for both encode

and decode, if programmed correctly.

4. Multiple Tone Sets per Channel – This also allows

the programmer to set all ten (10) tones on a single

channel if it was deemed necessary. Each channel

allows a programmer to use a combination of tones

per channel as needed.

What is 5What is 5What is 5What is 5----Tone Signalling?Tone Signalling?Tone Signalling?Tone Signalling?

1. Although it is dubbed as 5-Tone, this signalling

protocol consists of a fast data burst of one (1) to

seven (7) frequency tones that can selectively signal

a radio.

2. Originally a European signalling protocol, 5-Tone has

numerous formats such as:

a. CCIR

b. ZVEI1

c. ZVEI2

5555----Tone Format StructureTone Format StructureTone Format StructureTone Format Structure

1. Unlike 2-Tone, where the programmer must know the

frequency to be used on each tone, 5-Tone does not

require knowledge of the frequencies to be used.

2. Each digit in the sequence is already predefined with

a specific frequency depending on the format

selected in the Tone form section of the

programming.

3. All the programmer needs to know is what format is

being used and what code needs to do what. The

system does the rest.

4. If there was a need, although it is not highly

recommended, the tone formats can be modified to

specific needs.

5. The 5-Tone Format section of programming allows

the programmer to view and modify three (3) aspects

of the 5-Tone format.

6. Tone Period - is the length of the encoded tone.

7. Notone Timer – is the space required between tones

for proper decoding (tone spread).

8. Tone Length – is the time the radio takes to decode

a tone.

1. 5-Tone is a non-proprietary signalling protocol that

allows the Icom radio to inter-operate with other

brands using the 5-Tone signalling.

2. This protocol also allows a mixed fleet operation.

3. It is faster than 2-Tone by employing a quick data

burst.

4. Customers are familiar with the protocol since it is an

Industry Standard in USA, Europe, and Asia.

5. Many manufacturers built dispatch consoles with this

capability.

6. 5-Tone offers flexible muting characteristics.

sequence.

2. Where applicable, this radio also has flashing

indicators, variable audible signals and beeps.

3. When transmitting a 5-Tone sequence, the radio can

select from a programmed list with aliases in order to

identify the code desired for TX.

What is LTRWhat is LTRWhat is LTRWhat is LTR™/PassPort™/PassPort™/PassPort™/PassPort????

1. LTR™ (Logic Trunked Radio) and PassPort are analog

trunking protocols.

2. Trunking allows more efficient use of RF Spectrum

for two-way radios and other devices such as cell

phones and Nextel.

3. LTR™ is a type of trunking system and protocol that

uses a home channel and low speed data as it’s

basics of operation.

4. PassPort, developed by Trident Microsystems, is a

superset of the LTR™ trunking protocol.

Why LTR™?Why LTR™?Why LTR™?Why LTR™?

1. LTR™ stands for Logical Trunk Radio, originally

developed by EF Johnson and licensed to third party

vendors

2. Supports up to 20 channels per single site

3. Supports up to 250 user groups per home channel

4. Affordable solution

Why Why Why Why PassPortPassPortPassPortPassPort????

1. PassPort allows features that don’t exist in LTR™

Key Features

Fringe AreaFringe AreaFringe AreaFringe AreaProgramming a radio for better fringe area

performance compromises the radio’s ability to work

on the optimal site for its area, therefore the voice

quality of the connection may not be as good. But the

good news is that you will still be able to maintain

communications on the very “fringes” of a system and

in-building performance will be better.

1. PassPort allows features that don’t exist in LTR™

such as MIN ID and selective call. PassPort still uses

the same basics of operation that LTR™ does.

2. Selective Call gives the option to have all or selected

units the ability to directly call one another without

the rest of the dispatch fleet being able to monitor

the call. Also gives management the flexibility to

contact individual units without disturbing normal

dispatch operations.

3. When a dispatch call is made, the receiving radio

displays either a MIN or “MIN Alias” of the calling

party. This allows quick identification of the calling

radio for better efficiency and radio tracking. Group

dispatch advantage - efficiency and cost advantages

of large group dispatch capabilities.

4. Allows less interconnect traffic from employees and

having a central dispatcher place calls.

5. Flexible roaming setup allows optimized operation

for a fringe or optimal site use.

PassPort Roaming FundamentalsPassPort Roaming FundamentalsPassPort Roaming FundamentalsPassPort Roaming Fundamentals

Programmable a radio to roam in PassPort involves

balancing voice quality and coverage distance. You

may want to decide what works for you or your

customer the best:

1. Optimized for “Fringe Area” Use

2. Optimized for “Best Site” Use

3. Balanced Performance for Compromise between

“Fringe Area” and “Best Site” Use

Optimal (Best) SiteOptimal (Best) SiteOptimal (Best) SiteOptimal (Best) SiteProgramming a radio so that you are on the best site

possible compromises the radios ability to work with

distant sites and in buildings. However, it improves the

chances of having better voice quality on transmission

and reception. Keep in mind, your radio will roam more

frequently, possibly resulting in some interruption of

service.

Balanced PerformanceBalanced PerformanceBalanced PerformanceBalanced PerformanceBalanced settings are a compromise between Optimal

and Fringe settings. Your radio will not always have the

optimal voice quality and it will not work as well on the

extreme fringes of a system or in-buildings, but it will

work under a greater variety of conditions then radios

optimized for a Fringe or Optimal Site.

Group Scan Group Scan Group Scan Group Scan • Technically, when scanning only LTR™ groups, LTR™ works differently then conventional scan.

• In Group Scan, you are constantly monitoring only the Home Channel.

• Audio is then un-muted when one of the groups being “scanned” is decoded.

• When you add a group to a scan list, it is scanned in order with any other group or conventional channel

in the list.

• In this sense, a LTR™ group added to a scan list is scanned just like any other conventional channel.
