Professional Radio - Customer Programming Software R06.01.00
================================================================

Known CPS Issues:
----------------  

1) If your PC is running the first release of Microsoft Windows 95
   and Internet Explorer has not been installed, you may experience
   problems in installing and running the CPS due to certain
   components of the operating system being out of date.

   To eliminate this problem two Microsoft patches have been included
   on the CPS CD. If you experience any problems under Windows 95,
   please go to the CD and run:
     /Win95Patches/40comupd.exe
     /Win95Patches/dcom95.exe
   and then re-install the CPS. 
 
2) On some PCs, the CPS may abnormally terminate if Print Preview
   is attempted on the Print Custom screen. This problem only occurs
   when Print All is selected. This problem has been observed on 
   Compaq Windows 98 computers with the following programs running:
      * Easy Access Internet Program (cpqEasyAcc.exe)
      * Compaq Internet Watchdog Program (watchdog.exe)
   If this CPS function is to be used, it is recommended that these 
   programs be removed from the PC startup.  

3) When the tree view is printed some nodes may overlap on the
   printout and an extra blank page may be printed. This issue
   is more likely to occur on large codeplug configurations.   

4) On some printers, the columns in some printed tables might be
   slightly wider than they should be, causing the table to spread 
   horizontally onto a second page.

5) Emergency Revert Personalities assigned on the Signaling Configuration Page
   will not be tracked if the personality being referenced is moved in the tree
   view.

6) On certain HP Laserjet printers the Print Summary option will only print
   one page. If you experience this problem, it is recommended that you first
   save the information to a file and then use any Editor (Word, Wordpad, etc...)
   to open the file and print the summary information.


Major CPS Enhancements R06.01.00:
-----------------------
New functionality has been added to accommodate the following radio models:
EX500, EX600; GP346, GP386; PRO5150 Elite, PRO7150 Elite; GP328 Plus, GP338 Plus

Home Revert AutoKey
When enabled, this feature will allow the radio user to press a single button 
and have the radio revert to the specified Home Revert Zone/Channel and automatically 
key-up the radio.  This feature will provide the radio user with an Emergency-like 
feature, which will automatically key up and send PTT ID (if enabled) to all other 
radio users.  This feature was originally implemented for LS Trunking 
and has now been added to the Conventional mode for LS Trunking.

Revert Scan
When set, it will enable the normal scan implementation whereby, when scan exits, 
it returns to the last landed zone/channel. When cleared (disabled), it uses alternative 
revert scan, which causes the radio, when exiting scan, to return to the channel from 
where scan is entered. This is a mobile only feature. This functionality will be added 
to the Professional Series mobile radio in late 2001.

Frequency or FCC Channel Number Input
This feature will allow the user to enter either the FCC Channel number or 
Frequency when programming 800MHz LS Trunking radios. An additional Option has been 
added to enable or disable the feature. 

Extended 800MHz Frequency range for Latin America
This is an enhancement to increase the 800MHz Frequency range for 
Latin America. 


Reported Issues
------------------
1) Resolved the issue whereby selecting "Rx Only" in first Conventional Personality 
caused an unrecoverable invalid condition.


Major CPS Enhancements R06.00.00:
-----------------------
Tree View Node Names
The tree view node names dynamically display the Alias of the associated record. 

Accessory Connector
The accessory connector pins page now supports 4 additional Option Board inputs 
and outputs on all pins with the exception of pin 9, which is only for emergency. 

Home Revert Autokey
When enabled, this feature allows the radio user to press a single button and have 
the radio revert to the specified Home Revert Zone/Channel and automatically key-up 
the radio.  This feature provides the radio user with an Emergency-like feature, 
which automatically keys up and sends PTT ID (if enabled) to all other radio users.

Original Programming Date
The CPS derives and displays the Original Programming Date based on the Serial Number 
of the Radio.

Context-Sensitive Table View Help
The table views as well as embedded tables now have the ability to allow the user to 
retrieve context-sensitive help when utilizing the question mark/pointer.

Auto generation of Aliases
The CPS now has the ability to generate the Aliases for Conventional Personalities 
when utilizing the Personality Assignment Wizard. When using the Personality 
Assignment Wizard, the conventional personality alias will reflect the channel and 
the zone to which it is assigned.

Windows Millennium(Me) Compatibility
The CPS is now compatible with the latest release of the Windows Me Operating System.


Major CPS Enhancements R05.00.00:
-----------------------
1) Personality Assignment Wizard.
This feature which can be activated from a button on the toolbar or from the Feature menu provides a quick an easy way to assign personalities into zones in ascending order. 

2) Drag & Drop personality assignment.
On the "Tree View" window the user is now able to select single or multiple personalities and append them to existing zones by "dropping" them on the required zone, or place them in a completely new zone by dropping them on the "Personality Assignment to Zone" node.

3) Print Summary.
This feature which can be activated from a button on the toolbar or from the File -> Print Choices menu generates a summary of the most important information programmed into the radio. This summary can either be sent straight to the printer or saved as a plain text file.

4) Auto setting of TX fields from RX fields.
By enabling the new options found in the View -> Options -> Custom page the CPS will automatically copy the user entered receive frequency to the transmit frequency field with an optional offset; copy the receive and DPL/TPL code to the transmit DPL/TPL code; copy the receive signaling system to the transmit signaling system.

5) Table view for Conventional Personalities.
A new navigation button now appears on all conventional personalities that allows the user to toggle between the existing page view mode and the new table view mode.

6) Allow more than 16 channels per zone in Mobile radios.
The maximum number of channels that can be assigned to any one zone is now limited only by the maximum number of personalities available for that model, instead of being limited to 16 as with previous releases.

7) Default file name is radio serial number.
When a radio is read and the codeplug information saved to file, the default name for that file will be the radio's serial number instead of "Device" as with previous releases.

8) Improved notification for invalid fields.
By enabling the new options found on the View -> Options -> Main page the user can cause the CPS to generate a beep whenever an invalid value is entered; change the invalid field to a different color; ask to the user for confirmation before deleting any item.

9) Windows 2000 compatibility.
The new release has been tested as compatible with the Windows 2000 operating system.

10) Improved table layout.
When items are presented in a table format the table columns have been resized to fit the information that they contain. Furthermore the user may resize any column or hide a column completely (by clicking once on the column header and then right clicking for the extended menu).

11) Improved printed output.
Printouts now include the radio model number and serial number of every page. The column widths of printed tables have now been optimized so that they are only as wide as necessary. By enabling "Templates" on the File -> Print Choices -> Custom Print page the user may create a print template which specifies exactly which fields should be included in the printout and which fields should be omitted.

12) Window resizing.
The user may now resize any window.

13) TX only personalities for Mobile radios.
A new checkbox has been added to the Conventional Personality Advanced page which will make that personality transmit only and disable all receive capabilities as is required when the radio is used in certain repeater configurations.

14) Phone "Back Porch" delay timer.
Selects the amount of time the radio remains in phone mode after sending the deaccess code. This allows the radio a transition time to re-establish normal Conventional or Trunking dispatch repeater access operation. 


Programming Hints:
------------------

1) It should be noted that a new/added conventional personality 
   must be assigned to a zone/channel position. To add a zone to 
   a radio click the "+" in a Personality Assignment to Zone 
   Window. To add a conventional personality to the radio, click 
   the "+" on a Conventional Personality Window. To add an 
   additional conventional personality to a zone go to the 
   Personality Assignment to Zone:Channel window for the 
   desired zone.  Click the right mouse key within the channel 
   table to add a conventional personality entry. Please read 
   the CPS help for additional information. 

2) Speed Dial buttons should not be programmed to the P1, P2, and
   P3 buttons on radios, which overlay these buttons with the menu 
   navigation keys. The speed dial buttons will not operate 
   in this configuration because the buttons function as the menu
   navigation keys when phone mode is entered. 

3) When adding a new conventional personality, verify that the
   bandwidth selected on the Conventional Personality  Basic screen is 
   correct.  Incorrect selections will lead to poor radio 
   performance.
