Quantar resets on Page and Call alerts
Hey,
I have a Quantar that is resetting whenever I send a Call Alert or Page through it.
I ahve checked the status codes and get
"2012/05/26.16:01:57 2012/05/26.16:01:57 1 SC ROOT 510 SYS_RESET 16"
P25 transmission is fine.
I am new the quantar and need a bit of help to rectify this problem.

Did it ever work
Look in the wildcard tables and see if there is any table that says RESET and has a qualifer TONE, your paging tones may be triping a TRC table.
What are the paging tone frequencys

Cause Motorola said so that's why
Re: Quantar resets on Page and Call alerts
I'm guessing the firmware does require updating.
I have only just aquired the Quantar.
Wildcard is disabled on the hardware config page, and there is no data entered on any of the three Wildcard pages.
Here is the Firmware Data:
Station Control F/W: R016.08.008
Station Wireline F/W: R016.08.003
Station Exciter F/W: R020.09.001
Do you think an upgrade may be required??

It needs updated firmware.

Would an upgrade be something I should try myself if I obtained a later firmware file?
or, should I buy a later model Station control model off ebay?

Re: Quantar resets on Page and Call alerts
Let's take a step back and review - paging tones reset the station. Quantars live, eat, and breathe paging tones. I'm doubtful this is a firmware problem. Do all tones, any tones reset the station, or just one specific set? You just acquired the station from where? What was it's past duty? Did they have this problem? How is the station controlled - by wireline or is it internal repeat? Did you get a warning about corrupted codeplug when you first read and wrote to it? If so, did you follow the procedure to exercise the eeprom? Are you using the older dos based rss, or the newer Windows version?

Re: Quantar resets on Page and Call alerts
Bill - I'm guessing he is referring to digital page and digital call alert, not analog. The firmware being 16 has no idea what this is. The only other explanation would be MDC call alert / page and a SAM getting pissed off.
OP -
IF the SCM is upgradable, you can do it yourself.
IF the SCM is non-upgradable, I would recommend looking for an already P25 compliant SCM on ebay. Significantly cheaper than an upgrade.

If you go back and read the original post, the quantar is resetting on paging packets, not paging tones.Bill_G wrote:Let's take a step back and review - paging tones reset the station.

The problem is 100% firmware related.
