Mip5000 + XTL5000 Consolette

[talviar]

OK, here goes,

Here is what I have:
MIP 5000 v1.0 (I know-upgrade. . . . in process have dongles and software. . . . )
8 Channel software with 4 Digital Gateways, 2 local Gateways, and 1 tone gateway installed in a Mobile Command Post.
4 Digital gateways are connected as follows:
2 Digital gateways connected directly to 2 XTL5000 Consolettes
2 Digital gateways connected to 2 Digital Junction Boxes connected to 2 CDM1550 Mobiles
(Where quan above is 2-->1gw to 1 digital junction box to 1 mobile ---or---1 gw to 1 XTl5000 consolette)
2 local gateways connected to CDM1550 mobiles
1 tone gateway connected to an MTR2000 repeater

Further:
Radios my question pertains to are as follows:
XTL5000 Consolettes (700/800 MHz) flashcode 540008-000480-6 breaks down to G51 Smartzone Ops, G806 Astro Digital Op, G173 Smartzone Omnilink multi zone operation, G361 Astro 25 9600 Baud trunking systems operation, G114 Enhanced Digital ID Display, W969 Multikey
Radio has both a Smartnet Type II trunking system and APCO 25 Trunking system programmed into it.

My question: In version 1 of the software no passing of any data between consolette and MIP console occurs other than channel list/zone list
In Version 3 of the software is ID Display passed back to the console (so I can see who is keying up on a talkgroup)?
If so does it do so for both Smartnet talkgroups and APCO25 Trunking talkgroups?

Further, is Call alert supported as an outbound paging format to use the consolette to page radios?
if so does it do so for both Smartnet talkgroups and APCO25 Trunking talkgroups?

More particulars:
Systems in question are Fayette County 911 TRS and Westmoreland County TRS in Pennsylvania.
I am system admin on the Fayette 911 TRS.

Starting to plan out my migration to the V3 MIP software and trying to prepare myself. . . ..

Thanks in advance!

So far I have found all ID display issues fixed in 3.0, so yes if the w7 head is capable of displaying it then yes it should report it to the console. For the call alert if you can use a w7 head to send an alert out then you should be able to do it from the console. You need to do this by assigning buttons in the console to the radio resource (menu, scroll up down, select/enter, ect). Ill update to see if i can get into the call alert in conventional p25 consolette using sb9600 on a MCC, have one in the shop.

Winger,

Great. Thanks for the info.
I guess I'll be prepared to load an alias database into this console. . . . .Since this is at a remote site I want to make sure I have all my data lined up before I get there.

Thanks again!

Correction w9 head!Just double checked, yes I can get into call list, so far I think the only thing sb9600 screws you out of is scan list program on the xtl5k, no way to long press scan button.

K.
That helps out immensely.

Now to export this alias list with 3000 entries from one system and hope I can re import it into the MIP software!
Have a great one!

Load it into the XTL not the mip, the mip will not alias the sb9600 id's. Characters are limited to however many spaces the w9 display is.

[talviar]

OK.
I'll alias in the pertinent units to the XTL. . . . . . . . . Was hoping it was on console side. . . . . Thanks for the info.
