Subscriber NEW FEATURES

XPT Dynamic Authentication operates in a way that the radio and the system use the agreed encryption algorithm to authenticate the validity of each other. In XPT system, the radio and the system use the agreed encryption algorithm to authenticate the validity of each other. Only the valid radio can operate in the system. XPT system supports Dynamic Authentication and Static Authentication. In this release, Dynamic Authentication is added. Dynamic Authentication is realized in a way that the repeater in the system periodically embeds the random authentication key in the broadcast information sent by the system. After receiving the broadcast information, the radio will update the authentication key. XPT Dynamic Authentication is enabled or disabled via CPS. Note: Authentication is only supported on voice channels. It is not supported on data channels. To configure the feature in the CPS, go to: XPT Trunking -> XPT Service -> Setting -> Authentication -> Dynamic Authentication

XPT Dynamic Authentication ■ Higher protection level for channel resources. ■ Authenticate with a key automatically generated from your input key each time. ■ Simple configuration to enable this feature.

XPT Encryption (Only Hytera Encrypt) XPT system only supports Basic Encrypt and Full Encrypt-Hytera. Whether the radio is set with Full Encrypt-DMRA or Full Encrypt-Hytera in Feature Control via CPS, the radio only supports Full Encrypt-Hytera when it switches to XPT mode. To configure the feature in the CPS, go to: �� XPT Trunking -> Digital Common -> Encrypt �� XPT Trunking -> Channel -> XPT Personality -> Encrypt

XPT Interference Detection can detect the interference to the downlink frequency of the repeater. This feature is realized in a way that the mobile radio detects whether the downlink frequency of the repeater is interfered, including interferences caused by digital common-frequency system with different color codes or analog common-frequency system. Note: Only one GPIO pin of the mobile radio can be set to Interference Detection feature at one time. Moreover, Interference Detection feature is invalid when Scan and Roam is enabled for the mobile radio. To configure the feature in the CPS, go to: XPT Trunking -> General Setting -> Accessories -> GPIO Pins -> Pin# > Interference Detect

XPT Interference Detection

XPT Dedicated Data Channel In XPT system, the radio must be assigned with at least one dedicated data repeater to carry out the data services sent to the dispatch station, such as periodically sending GPS positioning data, sending registration information and sending specific data applications. In this way, the dispatch station can track and record the radio position and registration information on a real-time basis, so as to manage and dispatch the radio. To configure the feature in the CPS, go to: XPT Trunking -> XPT Service -> Site Data List

XPT SIP Phone Call In XPT system, the connect code and disconnect code of the radio must be consistent with those of the repeater. XPT system only supports SIP Phone Call feature. To configure the feature in the CPS, go to: XPT Trunking -> Phone System/Phone List

To configure the feature in the CPS, go to: XPT Trunking -> XPT Service -> Setting -> Authentication -> Dynamic Authentication

XPT Repeating TOT feature is used to prevent a radio in XPT system from using a channel for an extended period. With this feature enabled, if a voice call of a radio is ended due to TOT expiration, the radio will be unable to continue this voice call on the repeater within TOT Re-repeat Time. XPT Repeating TOT is only valid for the current channel. If the current channel is busy and the radio switches to other channel, the radio still can initiate services within TOT Re-repeat Time. This feature has the same operation as that in conventional system. User can configure this feature as per actual needs. To configure the feature in the CPS, go to: XPT Trunking -> General Setting -> Basic Setting -> Repeat TOT Time[s] XPT Trunking -> General Setting -> Basic Setting -> TOT Pre-alert Interval Time[s] XPT Trunking -> General Setting -> Basic Setting -> TOT Re-repeat Time[s]

XPT Interference Detection In some countries, there are restrictions on radio usage that the system must stop transmitting when common-frequency interference is detected. To meet this requirement, XPT Interference Detection is added. This feature allows the system to stop transmitting immediately once uplink or downlink common-frequency interference is detected. Uplink common-frequency interference is detected automatically by the repeater. Downlink commonfrequency interference is detected by third party devices (such as mobile radio) connecting to the repeater via pins. To configure the feature in the CPS, go to: �� XPT Trunking -> Channel -> XPT Channel -> Interference Detection �� XPT Trunking -> Channel -> XPT Channel -> RSSI Threshold �� XPT Trunking -> General Setting -> Accessories -> GPIO Pins
