MOTOTRBO

™

Linked Capacity Plus

Avtec's Scout console system supports MOTOTRBO

™

Linked Capacity Plus (LCP). Linked Capacity Plus is

Motorola's mid-tier, multi-site, digital trunking radio system linking adjoining sites across an IP network. Scout's

Linked Capacity Plus endpoints provide dispatchers the ability to communicate via Wide Area Group, Local Group,

and All Call connections.

Scout console positions connect to the Linked Capacity Plus radio system via VPGate and the Avtec Routing

Controller (ARC). Each talkgroup that the consoles need access to requires a valid endpoint license. VPGate

licenses are offered in 30, 60 or 100 endpoint sizes.

Capabilities-at-a-Glance

In addition to all the standard features of Scout console, the following MOTOTRBO™ Linked Capacity Plus features

are available to the dispatcher:

Capability Description

Activity History with Instant

RecallRecorder (IRR)

Activity History and IRR are Scout tools that let the dispatcher see a list of past conversations and replay

audio from past conversations for analysis or clarification using Instant Recall Recorder.

Instant RecallRecorder is an optional feature of Scout.

Connection Scout uses a wire-line console interface through a direct IP connection to Motorola XPR™ 8400.

Group Call Group Calls allow the Scout Console to affiliate with a group of subscriber radios for the purpose of

establishing voice communication between the dispatcher and the group of subscribers. All members of

the group hear the conversation.

Emergency Group Call

(inbound)

An Emergency Call is a call with a higher priority level than a regular call.

When pressed, the emergency button on a subscriber unit signals Scout to perform two actions. First, the

driver sends an emergency alarm to the Scout Console, which can only be cleared by the dispatcher

touching the Emergency Clear pad on the Scout Console User Interface. Second, the driver creates an

emergency call to the Scout Console.

All Call An All Call is sent to all subscribers on the MOTOTRBO™ system.

Keying Progress Indications Scout presents an audible indication to the dispatcher for Granted, Queued, Failed, or Canceled PTT

requests.
