Trunked Mode Operation
Trunked Mode Operation (TMO) requires the switching and management infrastructure.
TMO enables various voice and data communication types. Examples are group calls and short data
service messages. TMO also enables access to features related to infrastructure such as packet data.

Direct Mode Operation
Direct Mode Operation (DMO) is a mode of simplex operation where radios communicate directly
without the need of a network.
NOTICE: For those who use DMO mode, you are recommended to apply DMO SCK for data
confidentiality.
Figure 3: Direct Mode Operation
2.4
DMO Gateway and Repeater Communication
The radio allows communicating in Direct Mode Operation (DMO) with a Trunked Mode Operation
(TMO) group. This communication occurs through Interoperability (IOP) certified gateways.
A DMO repeater retransmits information received from one DMO radio to other DMO radios.
Retransmission occurs over the DMO air interface.
For each DMO talkgroup, the radio allows operating in one of the following modes:
MN002955A01-AG
Chapter 2: Services and Features

Radio to radio only
The radio initiates communication only on a talkgroup directly and not through a gateway or
repeater.
Auto gateway
The radio can initiate communication on the selected talkgroup directly with another radio. The
radio can also initiate communication through any available gateway that is detected as present.
Repeater
The talkgroup links to a DMO repeater.
Specific gateway and repeater
The radio uses only the gateway with the specified gateway address for the talkgroup and/or a
DMO repeater.
Automatic gateway and repeater
The radio uses the first available gateway for a talkgroup and/or a DMO repeater.
All outgoing communication is placed through the gateway if the following conditions occur:
• Either a specific gateway or auto gateway mode is chosen
• A suitable gateway is found
The radio attempts to set up communication directly if the following conditions occur:
• Communication setup through the gateway fails
• A suitable gateway is not found
When operating on a gateway and/or repeater, the radio indicates the communication mode.
2.4.1
Communication through Repeaters
Radios that are out of range and cannot communicate directly with each other in Direct Mode
Operation (DMO) can do it through the repeater. The repeater is a radio that repeats all communication
on a chosen channel, and as a result increases radios DMO range.
Figure 4: Communication through Repeaters
DMODMO
When the radio connects to a repeater, it plays a tone, displays the Repeater available message,
and shows an appropriate icon. When the radio loses connection with the repeater, it plays a tone,
displays the Repeater not available message, and the repeater icon is blinking.

2.4.2
Communication Through Gateways
Gateway provides connectivity between radios operating in Direct Mode Operation (DMO) and the
TETRA network, so that the DMO radios can communicate with the Trunked Mode Operation (TMO)
radios.

Radio behavior when radio connects to a gateway:
• A tone is sound.
•Gateway available message is displayed.
• An appropriate icon is shown.
Radio behavior when radio loses connection with the gateway:
• A tone is sound.
•Gateway not available message is displayed.
• The gateway icon is blinking.
2.4.3
Gateway and Repeater Synchronization
To communicate using gateways or repeaters, the radio requires synchronization with a gateway or a
repeater.
A gateway or a repeater sends presence signals to radios. If a radio receives presence signals, it stays
synchronized with the gateway or the repeater which sends the signals. If a radio fails to receive a
presence signal it does not immediately lose synchronization. The radio waits for another successful
presence for a time defined by your service provider. This function ensures that communications are
not dropped due to temporary reception issues.
If a gateway or a repeater is unavailable or the radio is not synchronized with a gateway or a repeater,
depending on the setup configured by your service provider, the following scenarios apply:
• The radio falls back to Direct Mode Operation (DMO).
• After pressing the PTT button, a prompt appears warning that the second press overrides the
gateway or repeater operation mode.
• No direct DMO communications are permitted.

In the second scenario, while the radio receives individual calls and group calls, and replying to
individual calls is possible, replying to group calls is not possible.
2.5
Numbering and Addressing
Each radio has an Individual TETRA Subscriber Identity (ITSI) used for addressing the radio over the
air interface.
However, it is undesirable to require you to enter a long number to address another radio. To this end,
a set of short number schemes can be used. Alternatively, the radio can be provisioned to treat a short
number as a Short Subscriber Identity (SSI). This scheme can be refined to allow short dialing within a
fleet by combining the ID entered with the radio own SSI.
If the radio is provisioned to treat a short number as a TETRA SSI, and the number entered is fewer
than seven digits, the identity of the radio is combined with the number entered to produce the actual
Individual Short Subscriber Identity (ISSI). Using this scheme, an ISSI can comprise of a fleet number
part and a member part.
The ISSI of the radio is used to determine the leading digits for the digits omitted as in the following
scenario:
1The radio has the following ID: 1234567
2You enter: 890
3The SSI sent is: 1234890
The following services can use the short SSI for identification of both the called and the calling parties:
• Duplex private call
• Simplex private call
• Group call
• Mobile status
• Short data bearer service
• Text message service
If you are provisioned with the capability of entering a real TETRA ISSI and you enter an ID of seven
digits, the number is interpreted as a real TETRA ISSI regardless of the short addressing scheme
used.
2.6
Dialing Methods
The radio supports multiple methods of selecting a number for an outgoing call.
The radio supports the following dialing methods:
• Using predefined One-Touch Buttons
• Dialing from the favorite folders
• Dialing from the address book
• Dialing from the Recent Calls list
• Direct dialing

2.6.1
Individual Dialing
The Individual Call feature consists of the Telephone Interconnect feature and the Private Call feature.
The private ID number is a number of up to 16 digits. If you enter fewer than 16 digits, the Individual
Short Subscriber Identity (ISSI) part is added to the full Individual TETRA Subscriber Identity (ITSI)
with leading zeros. The private ID number consists of the following items with their respective dialing
scheme:
• Mobile Country Code (MCC) 15–13
• Mobile Network Code (MNC) 12–9
• ISSI 8–1
NOTICE: For the MNC of a private ID (digits 12-9), values from 0000 through 9999 are
accepted.
The Migration mode supports three types of relative dialing and whichever Mobile Network Identity
(MNI) is assumed when the radio dials an ISSI:
• Relative to Switching and Management Infrastructure (SwMI) – the radio uses the MNI of the
current SwMI.
• Relative to radio MNI – the radio uses its home MNI.
• Relative to current MNI – the radio uses its home MNI when it migrates to another network or the
MNI of the SwMI when the radio has ITSI attached to another network.
Two dialing options are given to the user:
Fixed
Provides up to 16 digits which include the MCC, MNC, and ISSI numbers. If you enter fewer than
16 digits, then the rest is filled with the digits that are set in the codeplug.
Automatic
Provides up to eight digits. If you provide more, it switches to fixed mode. If you enter fewer than
eight digits, the radio fills the rest of the number with its own ITSI.
If you enter more than 16 digits, you receive a prompt informing you of an incorrect input.
If the One-Touch Button is provisioned, you can call an individual by pressing and holding down one of
the programmable buttons.
2.7
Unified Address Book
The radio offers an address book facility, where multiple numbers are associated with a single name
tag. This facility presents an interface to the address book and provides a natural way to call an
individual who can be contacted in different ways.
Each individual can have up to six associated numbers:
• Private (a TETRA ISSI or ITSI)
• Home (phone number)
• Mobile (phone number)
• Work (phone number)
• PABX (local short number)
• Other (phone number)
The Contact List has a maximum capacity of 2,000 Contacts, with up to 1,000 associated Private and
up to 1,000 associated either Phone or PABX numbers distributed among the contacts.
