2.0 Product Overview
The ARi-195e is an advanced desk top ANI/Status decoder and display console featuring intelligent messaging
capabilities that works with your existing mobile radio system. The unit decodes DTMF, 5-tone and n-tone tone
sequences. When used in conjunction with the CES ARi-2000 easi-DISPATCH™ software system, the ARi-195e can
be operated in a multi-channel environment and can be programmed using the ARi-2000 software.
The device will display valid tone sequences (mobile identities, status messages etc.) transmitted by mobiles fitted with
compatible ANI and signaling modules. The base operator can view these tone sequences which are also stored in
memory for later retrieval. A parallel port allows the connection of a printer. Alternatively, the serial port can be used to
send the received sequences to the CES ARi-2000 easi-DISPATCH™ software system, or any compatible software
system.
2.1 Terms
ANI
ANI (Automatic Number Identification) within the mobile radio industry can be described as the process of
automatically identifying the current user of a radio channel. This is normally realized by the transmission of a rapid
sequence of tones when the user activates the radio microphone PTT switch, representing the preprogrammed mobile
users identity. This identity sequence is decoded and displayed by the ARi-195e and provides the dispatcher with a
visual indication of the current radio user.
The frequency and time period of these tones can comply with the international DTMF or Tone Sequential formats or
can be user programmable.

CES SUPPORT 407-679-9440 Page6MAN78 ©CES 1998
Status
By appending additional digits to the preprogrammed identity sequence, the driver can send messages to the dispatcher,
with each additional digit having a “canned” or pre determined understanding. For example, if using the ARi-100
module as the mobile signaling device, the driver can have three external switchs representing say, “on route”, “lunch”
and “arrived”. By activating any of the switches, the radio will transmit the mobile users identity, together with the
status digit representing the switch activated.
This is then decoded and displayed by the ARi-195e for the dispatcher to view.
Autocall
By installing the CES ARi-100 module in the mobile radio, the mobile user can double click the microphone PTT to
send an autocall sequence (as distinct form a single pressel with transmits an ANI). This is in fact a “status’ as defined
above, with the exception that the “status” transmission” is activated by the “double click” of the microphone PTT.
This message is decoded by the ARi-195e and displayed as an Autocall as opposed to an ANI (because it differs from
the ANI by an extra digit appended to the identity sequence). This “double click” can be interpreted by the dispatcher as
a “request to talk” by the mobile user.
Emergency
A separate emergency input is provided in the CES ARi-100 mobile module. It this input is activated, the
ARi-195e will decode and display it as anemergency transmission from the mobile.
Tone Sequential
An internationally recognized set of tone frequencies and tone periods for the transmission of ANI and Status
information over wireless infrastructures. See page 22 for a complete list. The ARi-195e base display console and the
ARi-100 mobile module allow the user to determine their own set of frequencies. This is termed “user-defined
frequencies” or “n-tone” in this manual and other CES manuals.
DTMF
An internationally accepted set of tone frequencies and tone periods for the transmission of ANI and Status information
over various communications infrastructures. CES recommendstone sequential formats whenever possible.
Precode
These are the digits the ARi-195e will expect to see first in any transmission received from a mobile. Programming
precode digits reduces false decoding. These digits are fixed and common to all units in the fleet. If programmed in the
system and not present when a sequence is received, the ARi-195e ignores the signal received.
For example, if there are 300 vehicles in the fleet, and a 5 digit identity is planned, fix the first two digits to 10
throughout the entire fleet, and the last three digits according to the mobile identity. Program the ARi-195e for a
precode of 10. The ARi-195e will then not decode a sequence unless it commences with 10.
Tone Blanking
When using a precode, the ARi-195e will mute the base radio receiver when it decodes the precode digits. This
prevents dispatch annoyance, particularly when long tone sequences are received. To mute the entire sequence received,
use the optional VAD1 or VAD-8 Audio Delay Board. SeeAudio Delay Technologybelow.
Tone Period

CES SUPPORT 407-679-9440 Page7MAN78 ©CES 1998
This dictates the tone period of each digit in the identity sequence. For tone sequential or user defined sequences this
can be programmed from 20ms to 100ms. For DTMF an interdigit time and digit time of 20ms to 100ms can be
programmed.
Audio Delay Technology
CES has developed voice audio delay technology as an optional item for the ARi-195e. This completely mutes all tone
sequences received to prevent dispatcher annoyance. When the correct sequence is received, decoded and displayed the
radio receiver speaker is unmuted. The Audio Delay Module is normally installed in the base radio.
2.2 Signaling Format
The CES ARi-195e ANI and Status Display Console uses 5-tone sequential, DTMF or n-tone format. This provides
international compatibly for use in a wide range of radio systems, or user defined frequencies.
2.3 Front Panel Status Keys
3 front panel operator keys are provided. These provide “next call”, “cancel alert” and “speaker on/off’ functions. In
addition, a combination of these keys are used to set the time clock. From firmware version 1.2 onward, the mute button
can be enabled or disabled. When disabled, pressing the button has no function except to change the clock.
2.4 Display
The ARi-195e features an 8 digit LED display for visual indication of received sequences. The first digit is used for
sequence type, e.g. “E” for emergency. The next 5 digits are mobile identity. The last two digits are used for status
digits.
In addition three LED’s indicate the current status of the Alert, Speaker, and Calls in memory.

2.6 Programming & Installation
The ARi-195e is designed to interface to most mobile radio products. In addition to the small physical size, power
consumption is also held at an absolute minimum within the realm of current technology. Flash memory is provided. A
common interface connector is provided for ease in programming and installation. Programming is achieved using an
internal onboard keypad, or alternatively, the ARi-195e can be programmed using the CES
ARi-2000 easi-DISPATCH™ Software System.
The ARi-2000 easi-DISPATCH™ software system provides a dispatcher with a multi channel computer aided
dispatch system. The ARi-195e is connected to each radio channel and in turn interfaced to the PC. A utility
program on the ARi-2000 permits rapid, user-friendly programming by the installing technician to configure the
ARi-195e. Each ARi-195e unit configuration may be saved to an individual file for later retrieval, review, changes,
and reprogramming of the module. Alternatively, the unit can be programmed using the internal on board keypad.
See section 4.0 for complete installation details.

3.0 OPERATION
Operation of the ARi-195e ANI and Status Display Console is determined in many respects by programming. This is
dictated by the required system configuration. Remember, compatibility must be maintained at all times with the mobile
signaling system !
3.1 Display Operation
When power is first applied or if there are no sequences in the memory queue, the time is displayed. The display is also
used to show incoming valid sequences from the mobile fleet and is also used during programming.
The format for displaying a valid sequence from a mobile is:
The ARi-195e can decode up to 99 different status’s which are then displayed on the right hand side of the console. To
further assist the dispatcher, “emergency” calls and “request to talk” calls (also called autoCALL) have an associated
Alpha character, E and A respectively, which are also displayed when the appropriate sequence is received from a
mobile. A separate “alert tone” is generated for the three types of calls, Emergency, AutoCALL and Normal calls.
Emergency Calls
If enabled, the ARi-195e will display the character E and emit a Emergency Alert when received. Emergency sequences
are displayed as soon as they are received and are preempted by new sequences, even if the new sequence is an
emergency. This applies to all queue modes. Emergency sequences are suppressed and are never placed in the queue.
While the emergency sequence is displayed all other received sequences are sent out the parallel and serial port but alert
tones are not generated.
The mobile unit must be programmed with compatible sequence information. If using the CES ARi-100 mobile
module, a separate emergency input is available. An externally mounted button can be installed in close proximity to the
driver for quick activation in the event of an emergency. A separate emergency sending protocol can be programmed in
the ARi-100.
AutoCALL
If using the CES ARi-100 mobile module, a double click of the mobile microphone PTT will send a unique status to the
ARi-195E. This is displayed as an “A” on the console, indicating that the driver wished to talk to the base dispatcher.
Of course this feature can be used for whatever purpose, this is just an example. This eliminates the need to mount a
separate ‘request to talk’ key on the mobile radio.
Normal Calls
Valid ANI calls and normal status calls will be displayed. An alpha character is not displayed.

CES SUPPORT 407-679-9440 Page10 MAN78 ©CES 1998
Display Format
The received mobile identity sequences can be displayed in one of two programmable methods:
When programmed for ‘FIFO’ (first in first out) the oldest sequence is displayed. When the “next call” button is
pressed, the oldest sequence is removed and the next oldest is displayed. In this mode the next call button is used to see
received sequences from the oldest to the newest. If no more calls are in the queue and the next call button is pressed,
the time is displayed. If the queue is full and a new call is received, the currently displayed (and oldest) call is deleted,
the next oldest call is displayed, and the call just decoded is placed at the end of the queue. All calls received are sent to
the parallel and serial port.
When programmed for ‘LIFO’ (last in first out) the most recently received sequence will be displayed. If a new
sequence is received, the previous one will be moved down in the queue and the new one will be displayed. The next
call button is used to view received sequences from the newest to the oldest. If the queue is full, a new sequence will not
be queued. All calls received, regardless of the queue condition, are sent to the parallel and serial port.
An external LED is on to indicate when the queue is not empty.
Display Suppress Timer
To further assist the base dispatcher and to prevent the decode and display of sequences received within a short time
period, the ARi-195e has a “suppress timer” feature.
This sets a time period that begins when a sequence is received, and it disables any other receptions of that exact
sequence until the timer expires. The ARi-195e maintains 20 suppress timers / sequences. If all timers / sequences are
used and another sequence is received, no suppress action will occur for it.
Audio Alerts
Alert tone sequences can be generated for three events, normal call, autocall and emergency tone sequence receptions.
Each of these events has assigned unique alert tones. Call is a 1khz tone with a 240ms on and off period. Autocall is a
400hz tone with a 240ms on and off time. Emergency is an alternating 1khz and 400hz tones at 120ms on and 30ms off
times. Each of the three events can generate a certain number of beeps or continue until the cancel alert button is
pressed, the PTT input becomes active or any button is pressed. The tone being generated relates to the last sequence ID
received, if another call is received before the previous alert is canceled, the old alert tone will be replaced with the new.
If the FIFO buffer is full or the call is suppressed, no tone will be generated.
Alert Relay
In addition to generating an alert tone, the alert relay can be activated with reception of a valid sequence. The relay can
be activated with the alert tone or until the cancel alert button, PTT in is activated or any button is pressed. When set to
“continuous”, the relay is not toggled with alert beeps but becomes active when the call is received and deactivated
when PTT in or cancel alert or any other button is pressed.
When alert tones are actually being generated, the “alert” LED is on and the speaker enable output is active.
Operator Key Action
Three dispatcher keys are provide.
• Next Call - displays the next call if additional calls are in the memory queue
• Cancel Alert - cancels the alert tone when a valid sequence is received
• Speaker on / off - turns the radio speaker on and off
LED Operation
Three LEDS provide operational information to the dispatcher.
• More Calls - if illuminated indicates that there are more calls in the memory queue
• Alert On - provides visual indication that a call has been received

CES SUPPORT 407-679-9440 Page11 MAN78 ©CES 1998
• Speaker on / off - is illuminated when the radio speaker in enabled
Speaker Mute
The speaker mute relay is used to mute the speaker when a sequence is being received. The relay will only activate if
precode digits are programmed. Once a valid sequence of precode digits has been received the relay will turn on until
the remainder of the sequence is received.
The relay can also be controlled by the speaker on / off button. This button is a toggle, if the speaker mute relay is off
and the button is pressed, the relay is turned on and vice versa.
Muting of sequences and use of the speaker on / off button should work together as follows: if the relay is off (muted)
because of the button and a sequence is received, nothing should happen to the relay. If the relay is on (unmuted) and a
sequence is received, the relay should turn off (mute) for the duration of the sequence.
When the relay is on, the speaker on LED should be lit. Also at power up the relay should be turned on (unmuted).
Variation: From firmware version 1.2 onward, the mute button can be enabled or disabled. When disabled,
pressing the button has no function except to change the clock.
Serial Output
The RS232 port is designed to allow connection of the ARi-195e to a serial printer or a computer. The computer
connection can operate in a polled environment to support multiple channel operation when using a dispatch software
system.
Parallel Output
The parallel port is designed to connect to a printer. It requires no setup parameters. Each received sequence is sent as
one line of text as follows:
• Sequence type; “Call:”, “autoCall:” or “Emergency:”
• Received mobile identity (ID)
• If status digits were received they are displayed preceded by a dash
• Two spaces,
• Date
• Time
• Each line would appear as: “Call: 12345-67 6/26/96 14:29:34”.
• Information is always sent out the parallel port unless the printer indicates an error.
Real Time Clock
An internal clock is included to time stamp received sequences when printed. The clock is set by using the next call,
cancel alert and speaker on / off buttons as follows:
• To increase the hours, press and holdcancel alert, momentarily pressingnext call increments hours
• To decrease the hours, press and holdnext call, momentarily pressingcancel alert decreases hours
• To increase the minutes, press and hold cancel alert, momentarily pressing speaker on / off increments
minutes
• To decrease the minutes, press and hold speaker on / off first, then momentarily pressing cancel alert decreases
minutes
Time can also be set using programming parameters. Time is displayed when no sequences are in the queue and at
power up. It is sent to the printer as part of the received sequence string. Time is always in the 24 hour format.

Alert
Alert tone sequences can be generated for three events: normal call, autocall and emergency tone sequence receptions.
Each of these events has assigned unique alert tones. Call is a 1khz tone with a 240ms on and off period. Autocall is a
400hz tone with a 240ms on and off time. Emergency is an alternating 1khz and 400hz tones at 120ms on and 30ms off
times. Each of the three events can generate a certain number of beeps or continue until the cancel alert button is
pressed, the PTT input becomes active or any button is pressed. The tone being generated relates to the last sequence ID
received, if another call is received before the previous alert is canceled, the old alert tone will be replaced with the new.
If the FIFO buffer is full or the call is suppressed, no tone will be generated.
In addition to generating an alert tone, the alert relay can be activated with reception of an event. The relay can be
activated with the alert tone or until the cancel alert button, PTT in is activated or any button is pressed. When set to
‘on till acknowledged’, the relay is not toggled with alert beeps but becomes active when the call is received and
deactivated when PTT in or cancel alert or any other button is pressed.
When alert tones are actually being generated, the alert LED is on and thespeaker enable output is active.
Programming parameters, alert:
Alert, call, enable:Enables alert tone generation when a call sequence is received.
Alert, call, duration:Indicates the duration of the alert tone.
Alert, call, relay action: Enables the activation of the alert relay with the reception of a call sequence. The relay can be
turned off when the beeps time out, when the cancel alert button is pressed or when the PTT input becomes active.
Turning alert, call, enable ‘off’ and alert, call, relay action to ‘on with beeps’ is invalid since no beeps would be
generated. In this case the relay would never be activated.
Alert, autocall, enable:Enables alert tone generation when an Autocall sequence is received.
Alert, autocall, duration:Indicates the duration of the alert tone.
Alert, autocall, relay action: Enables the activation of the alert relay with the reception of an autocall sequence. See
alert, call, relay action.
Alert, emergency, enable:Enables alert tone generation when an emergency sequence is received.
Alert, emergency, duration:Indicates the duration of the alert tone.
Alert, emergency, relay action: Enables the activation of the alert relay with the reception of an emergency sequence.
See alert, call, relay action.

Autocall
The autocall sequence is a received tone sequence that has status digit(s) appended to the identity that match the
ARi-195e programmedautocall status digit(s). Seesequence.
Programming parameters, autocall:
Autocall, status digit 1: Sets the first status digit for the autocall sequence. If programmed to ‘not applicable’ the
autocall feature is shut off.
Autocall, status digit 2: Sets the second status digit for the autocall sequence. If programmed to ‘not applicable’
only status digit 1 must match to receive anautocall sequence.
Item Description Size Range Representation Default
10 Autocall, status digit 1 Byte 0 - 16 16 = not applicable 16
11 Autocall, status digit 2 Byte 0 - 16 16 = not applicable 16
Clock
An internal clock is included to time stamp received sequences when printed. The clock is set by using the next call,
cancel alert and speaker on / off buttons as follows:
• To increase the hours, press and holdcancel alert, momentarily pressingnext call increments hours
• To decrease the hours, press and holdnext call, momentarily pressingcancel alert decreases hours
• To increase the minutes, press and hold cancel alert, momentarily pressing speaker on / off increments
minutes
• To decrease the minutes, press and hold speaker on / off first, then momentarily pressing cancel alert decreases
minutes
Time can also be set using programming parameters.
Time is displayed when no sequences are in the queue and at power up. It is sent to the printer as part of the
received sequence string. Time is always in the 24 hour format.
Programming parameters, clock:
Clock, year: Sets the year in the clock. Clock, month: Sets the month.
Clock, day: Sets the day. Clock, hours: Sets the hour.
Clock, minutes:Sets the minutes. Clock, seconds: Sets the seconds.

17 Clock, seconds 0 - 59
Display
When no sequences are in the queue and when power is first applied the time is displayed. The display is also used
to show received sequences and in the programming mode.
The format for displaying a sequence is:
• First digit is sequence type, blank for call, ‘A’ for autocall and ‘E’ for emergency followed by decimal point
• Next digits are ID digits followed by decimal point

CES SUPPORT 407-679-9440 Page17 MAN78 ©CES 1998
• Last one or two digits are status
The receive queue stores sequences and displays them according to the next call button operation. The
programming item display, call queue size defines the number of received sequences that can be stored. If set to
one then each call is displayed as it is received and the next call button causes the clock to display.
When the programming item display, call queue type is set to ‘FIFO’ (first in first out) each sequence is placed in
the FIFO but only the oldest sequence is displayed. When the next call button is pressed, the oldest sequence is
removed and the next oldest is displayed. In this mode the next call button is used to see received sequences from
the oldest to the newest. If no more calls are in the queue and the next call button is pressed, the time is displayed.
If the queue is full and a sequence is received, it will not be placed in the queue and so can never be displayed.
When the programming item display, call queue type is set to ‘LIFO’ (last in first out) then the most recent
sequence will be displayed. If a new sequence is received the previous one will be moved down in the queue and the
new one will be displayed when the next call button is pressed. Therefore the next call button is used to view
received sequences from the newest to the oldest. If the queue is full and a sequence is received, the oldest sequence
will be lost.
An external LED is on to indicate when the queue is not empty.
The programming item display, suppress timer sets a time period that begins when a sequence is received, it
disables any other receptions of that exact sequence until the timer expires. The ARI-190 maintains 20 suppress
timers / sequences. If all timers / sequences are used and another sequence is received, no suppress action will occur
for it.
Programming parameters, display:
Display, call queue size:Sets the size of the call queue.
Display, call queue type:Sets the type of call queue. It can be FIFO (first in first out) or LIFO (last in first out).
Display, suppress timer: Sets the duration of the suppress timers. Twenty timers / sequence memory locations are
provided for.

Emergency
The emergency sequence is a received tone sequence that has status digit(s) that match the programmed emergency
status digit(s). Seesequence.
Programming parameters, emergency:
Emergency, status digit 1: Sets the first status digit for the emergency sequence. If programmed to ‘not applicable’
the feature is shut off.
Emergency, status digit 2: Sets the second status digit for the emergency sequence. If programmed to ‘not
applicable’ only status digit 1 must match to receive an emergency sequence

21 Emergency, status digit 1 0 - 16 16 = not applicable 16
22 Emergency, status digit 2 0 - 16 16 = not applicable 16
Polarity
Sets the active state of the input or output.
Programming parameters, polarity:
Polarity, PTT input:Indicates the active level of the PTT input.
Polarity, speaker enable output: Sets the active level of the speaker enable output which is activated when alert
tones are generated.

27 RS232 port, send time and date 0,1 0 = no, 1 = yes 1
28 RS232 port, polling address 0 - 99 1
The RS232 port is designed to allow connection to a serial printer or a computer. The computer connection can
operate in a polled environment.
If the arbitration type is ‘send immediately’ then data sent out the RS232 port is in the same format as the parallel
port. The only difference being that sending of the date and time can be turned off. Data is sent as soon as it is
received. No handshake formats are supported so in this arbitration mode the serial receive line is ignored. All data
is sent even if it is not displayed because the FIFO was full unless the sequence was suppressed.

CES SUPPORT 407-679-9440 Page19 MAN78 ©CES 1998
Sequence
Received sequences are processed as follows:
1) The first tone in the sequence must be about the length programmed insequence, first tone time.
2) The remainder of the tones in the sequence must be about the length programmed in the sequence, remainder tone
time.
3) Intertone times must be about the time programmed in sequence, intertone time. This does not apply to N tone
sequences.
4) The first digits must match the precode digits.
5) The number of digits after the precode digits must be at least the number programmed in sequence, number of ID
digits but not more than two plus this number
6) The sequence is considered emergency if the status digits match as programmed in emergency, status digit 1 and 2.
The reception is considered a match if one status digit is programmed and it matches but two were sent.
7) The sequence is considered autocall if the status digits match as programmed in autocall, status digit 1and 2. The
reception is considered a match if one status digit is programmed and it matches but two were sent.
8) If the sequence is not autocall or emergency, it is considered a normal call.
Sequences can be DTMF or N tone with programmable frequencies per digit. The tone timings, precode digit(s) and
number of ID digits can be programmed. Precode digits are recommended because they add to falsing protection and
provide the ability to activate the speaker mute relay.
Programming parameters, sequence:
Sequence, type: Sets the tone set to receive, DTMF or N tone.
Sequence, first tone time:Indicates the expected length of the first tone to be received.
Sequence, remainder tone time:Indicates the expected length of all tones following the first tone.
Sequence, intertone time:Defines the expected length of the space between received tones.
Sequence, precode digit 1: Defines the first precode digit. A precode digit is a fixed digit that is always located in the
same place in the sequence.
Sequence, precode digit 2:Defines the second precode digit. The first digit must be programmed to use the second.
Sequence, precode digit 3: Defines the third precode digit. The first and second digits must be programmed to use the
third.
Sequence, number of ID digits: Defines the number of ID digits expected. If more are received, these will be considered
status digits. If fewer are received, the sequence will be rejected.
Sequence, N tone frq 0 - F:Sets the frequencies of the N tone set. Digit E is fixed as the repeat digit.
