Trunked System Programming

On a Trunked Radio System, CENTRACOM Elite terminals will use a unique radio ID for every talkgroup, on every terminal, which differs from Motorola's MCC7500 consoles which use 1 Radio ID for the entire console.

• The order of the talkgroups is customizable by the system administrator
• Consoles are limited to 100 talkgroups each

A couple examples of how a PSAP may choose to set up a PSAP with 10 consoles and 3 talkgroups per discipline are as follows -

Option 1 Each Terminal has its own unique Radio ID Prefix and each talkgroup has its own unique suffix.

1001xx - Op 1
1002xx - Op 2
1003xx - Op 3
1004xx - Op 4
1005xx - Op 5
1006xx - Op 6
1007xx - Op 7
1008xx - Op 8
1009xx - Op 9
1010xx - Op 10

xxxx21 - EMS 1
xxxx22 - EMS 2

xxxx32 - Interop 2
xxxx33 - Interop 3

100222 would be Op 2 on EMS 2
100911 would be Op 9 on Fire 2

Option 2 Talkgroups are assigned in order, with the prefix being the individual talkgroup and the suffix being the console.
