CHAPTER 1
INTRODUCTION
1.1 TaitNet Systems and the CCM
Site sub-system
The channel control module (CCM) is used in TaitNet trunked
radio systems. It is one of the assemblies that makes up the site
subsystem. The site subsystem consists of the following:
•site management module (SMM)
•between 1 and 24 radio channels
•transmit and receive antenna equipment
•digital audio switch (DAS) - in networks where telephone
connections are required at site
The CCM is one of the assemblies that make up each channel.
The antenna equipment includes receive multi-coupler
equipment and transmit combiner equipment as well as the
antennas themselves. The SMM, channels, and combiner and
multi-coupler equipment are mounted in standard 19 inch (483
mm) cabinets. The node-site links for audio signals proceed via
Krone terminal blocks mounted at the back of the cabinets. These
links are called intersite audio links.
Channel equipment
Each channel consists of the following assemblies:
•CCM
•receiver
•transmitter
•PSU (power supply unit)
•pre-wired rack

The CCM, receiver, transmitter and PSU modules fit into slots in
the pre-wired rack. The transmitter may consist of a single
module (when low power is sufficient) or separate exciter and
power amplifier modules (when high power is needed). Data
communications between the SMM and the CCMs of the
different channels proceed via a bus called the site bus. At the site
the node-site link used for control purposes is connected to the
SMM.
Types of channels
A channel can operate in one of three ways:
•control channel
•local traffic channel
•intersite traffic channel
The control and traffic channels are discussed separately below:
Control channel
There is always only one control channel at a site. The control
channel handles the communications over the air involved in
setting up calls involving radios at the site. It will inform the
SMM of any call setups. The SMM will then assign the handling
of a given call to one of the traffic channels. If no dedicated traffic
channels are available, the control channel may operate
temporarily as a traffic channel.
Traffic channels
Local traffic channels handle local calls that involve only radios
registered at the site in question. Intersite traffic channels handle
intersite calls as well as local calls. Intersite calls are calls that
proceed from a radio at one site, via the node, to a radio at
another site. The node can also be connected to a telephone
system to allow intersite calls between telephones and radios. The
intersite audio links are used by the intersite channels for
implementing intersite calls.
