ST-865M3 SmarTrunk II Logic Board is a microprocessor based radio trunking logic board designed for use with Motorola GP68 Radio. The ST-865M3 implements SmarTrunk II, an efficient radio channel allocation proto- col. The SmarTrunk II Logic Board controls all radio functions including channel scan, PTT, and all transmit and receive audio.

ubscribers already familiar with the original SmarTrunk system will find the SmarTrunk II digital system just as easy to use. There are also many additional features and enhancements. The ST-865M3 begins trunking operation as soon as the radio is powered on. Channel selection, transmit control, receiver audio, and other radio functions are all under the control of the ST-865M3.

Model ST-865M3 SmarTrunk II™ Logic Board The subscriber is alerted to an incoming call by ringing of the subscriber equipment. This alerting takes four forms, related to the type of incoming call. A long single high frequency ring is generated by the logic board, then a low frequency dual tone ring is generated by the controller.

Subscriber to Landline 1 Subscriber to Landline 2 Subscriber to Subscriber Fleet-Dispatch/Group Call Conventional Mode Mobile Operator Emergency Routing codes 1 and 2 give the subscriber access to tele- phone line one or two respectively. A subscriber may be restricted from line 2, or there may not be two telephone lines connected to the ST-852M.
Page 12
Model ST-865M3 SmarTrunk II™ Logic Board Routing code 9 calls the subscriber that is preprogrammed as the Mobile Operator. This functions as though the sub- scriber had used routing code 3 with the subscriber ID num- ber of the Mobile Operator. The Mobile Operator is pro- grammed by the System Operator/Manager.
Table 1-2 and the following paragraphs summarize the advanced dialing modes available: Store and Send Dialing Memory Speed Dialing Programming Speed Dial Memory (The ability to program speed dial numbers can be disabled by the dealer). Redial Mode Priority Call Overide This is the normal method of placing a telephone call.
Page 14
Model ST-865M3 SmarTrunk II™ Logic Board This procedure is used for dialing a telephone number or subscriber ID number that is stored in the speed dial memory: Example: The following procedure is used for programming a tele- phone number or subscriber ID number into the ST-865M3 speed dial memory.
Redial is most often used after a telephone number is dialed using the store and send method and the line is busy or a trunking channel is not available. Example: To redial the last number dialed: Press the Turning off the power to the radio clears the redial memory. If redial is attempted when no number has been entered, a low frequency error tone will be heard.
Model ST-865M3 SmarTrunk II™ Logic Board If a call is attempted and no trunking channels are available, the subscriber will get a busy signal. The subscriber can try to redial over and over until the call is processed but this is very frustrating.

1 • Operation If the radio has been remotely disabled by the System Operator/Manager, it will generate a continuous stream of low frequency beeps and will not operate. The radio must be returned to the dealer or System Operator/ Manager for reprogramming. Radio-Kill is a feature that is programmed and managed by the System Operator/Manager.

he ST-865M3 may be operated in three modes; Radiotelephone, Fleet Dis- patch and Conventional. The System Operator/Manager determines which of these modes are made available to each subscriber. The features of the operating modes are described below: • Radiotelephone - The subscriber receives private calls and group calls. He can initiate telephone calls, call other radiotelephone subscribers and call any group.

Model ST-865M3 SmarTrunk II The System Operator/Manager activates a subscriber (individual or group) by programming the ST-852M SmarTrunk II Controller. This activation involves assigning a Subscriber ID Number, Paging Code Number, operational type and a number of other controller parameters. As previously stated, each piece of SmarTrunk II subscriber equipment is capable of "over the air"...

Example #3: Table 2-1 illustrates a possible programming/activation scenario. The first three subscribers are individual subscribers using half duplex type equipment. These paging codes will be programmed into only one piece of subscriber equipment in the Primary Code position. The fourth and fifth entries are group subscribers. The group paging code may be programmed into many pieces of subscriber equipment as Primary Code or Secondary Code (Group/Sub-Group).
Model ST-865M3 SmarTrunk II Primary Code Secondary Code If the Conventional Mode feature is enabled, the subscriber may switch to Conventional Mode operation by pressing the 5 key then pressing the (*) key on the keypad (PTT not pressed). The subscriber may then set the channel select switch to the desired conventional channel position.

Remove the antenna. The antenna screws off counter- clockwise (Figure 3-3). b. Remove the two screws at the back of the chassis (Figure 3-3). Slide the chassis downwards a little and lift it away from the front housing (Figure 3-3). NOTE Please note that the flat ribbon cable still connects the controller board and...

Dismantle the radio by first removing the chassis from the front housing. (Refer to section 3.1 instructions for disassembling the radio). Orientate the ST-865M3 Logic Board so that the 12 pin male connector is at the lower edge and facing downwards. (See figure 3-4) Attach the ST-865M3 Logic Board to the controller board by inserting the 12 pin male connector into the 12 pin female...

4 • LOGIC BOARD PROGRAMMING he ST-865M3 provides the installing technician a flexible programming capability after the ST-865M3 has been installed in the radio. The ST- 865M3 is programmed by using the keypad on the front of the radio. No special cables or other attachments are required.
Model ST-865M3 SmarTrunk II ™ Logic Board Table 4-1 summarizes the programmable features, the keypad sequence for programming, and the default values as provided by the factory. Each feature programmed requires the following steps: Enter a two digit programming code. Press the # key (indicates end of programming code sequence).
*Number of Trunking Channels 10# data # *Primary Code *Secondary Code *Priority Subscriber Enable *Five Digit Access Code Return to factory default values 19# *Trunking System ID Number *Automatic PTT Mode *Emergency Call Override Clear Channel Alerting Mode *Radio-Kill *Memory Speed-dialing programming *Conventional Operating Mode...

Model ST-865M3 SmarTrunk II ™ Logic Board The Primary Code consists of a four digit number that is contained in the SmarTrunk II digital transmission. Any four digit number from 0000 to 9999 may be used. See Section 2 (Operating Modes) before assigning the Pri- mary Code.
4 • ST-865M3 Programming A priority override is possible only if the subscriber engaging the priority override has a higher priority level than the current subscriber on a channel. There are ten priority levels, from 0 (lowest priority) to 9 (highest pri- ority).
Model ST-865M3 SmarTrunk II ™ Logic Board The sequence for programming the five digit access code requires the dealer to enter the five digit number two times. This insures that no mistakes are made dur- ing the entry of a new access code. To change the five digit access code: Enter the program code 16 followed by the # key, then the new five digit access code followed by the # key.
4 • ST-865M3 Programming To program the ST-865M3 with a trunking system ID number: Enter the program code 20 followed by the # key, and then the trunking system ID number followed by the # key. Example: To program the Trunking System ID Number to 5 press: The Automatic PTT mode makes radio operation simple for the dispatch operation.
Example: To enable Clear Channel Alerting press: 2 4 # 1 #. 24 # 0 # disables this function To re-activate a Portable Radio press: 2 5 # 0 #. To disable Memory Speed Dial Programming press: 2 6 # 0 #.
