DIGITAL VOTING
PAGE 4
TYPICAL UNBALANCED INBOUND / OUTBOUND SYSTEM
• In a typical configuration, a repeater is installed at a strategic location (e.g. top of a hill, tall building). With a high powered transmitter, it’s transmissions reach all subscribers operating in the service area, at an acceptable signal strength level.
• Portable and Mobile subscribers typically have considerably lower transmitted power due to size and battery constraints.
• The repeater may not receive the transmissions from field subscribers – or receive the transmissions at a signal strength that’s too low to provide reliable communications.
The MOTOTRBO Digital Voting is a feature in R02.30.00 repeater
firmware to resolve the inbound / outbound coverage imbalance
in Digital Conventional, IP Site Connect, Capacity Plus & Linked
Capacity Plus (not Connect Plus)
PAGE 5
DIGITAL VOTING SATELLITE RECEIVERS• In a Digital Voting configuration, multiple Satellite Receivers
can be installed to relay remote subscriber transmissions to a Voting Repeater.
• Satellite Receiver- The Satellite Receiver is an RF Receive-only device used to extend
repeaters’ inbound range.- When a Satellite Receiver receives an acceptable signal transmitted by a
subscriber radio, the signal will be relayed back to the Voting Repeater over an IP link.
• Satellite Receiver Hardware:- 32MB XPR8400 / XPR8380 and MTR3000 repeaters- Firmware versions R02.30.00 onward
PAGE 6
DIGITAL VOTING REPEATER
• Voting Repeater- Dual-duty TX/RX repeater also configured as Voting Repeater (no
external comparator needed).
- Voting Repeater “votes” on all the transmissions received (including its internal receiver and all Satellite Receivers), based on the quality of the transmission bursts.
- Voting Repeater selects the best received signal burst, based on the signal-to-noise ratio, bit error rate and IP network quality.
- The voted result is then repeated over the air, and over IP to other sites or applications.
- Voting is repeated continuously on every 60ms TDMA burst of the call transmission.
• Digital Voter Hardware:
- 32MB XPR8400 / XPR8380 and MTR3000 repeaters
- Firmware versions R02.30.00 onward

1. Subscriber call is received by several Satellite Receivers
2. Satellite Receivers forward the call bursts to the Digital Voter via IP
3. Voter compares all received voice bursts and picks the best one
4. Voter re-transmits the voice bursts over the air and via IP to other sites and applications

DIGITAL VOTING EXAMPLE
PAGE 8
NETWORK CONSIDERATIONS
• Satellite Receivers must be on different LAN from the Voting Repeaters, in all system configurations.
• One way network delay between the Voting Repeater and any of its Satellite Receivers must be less than or equal to 40 milliseconds (ms).
• Network asymmetry between the Voting Repeater and any of its Satellite Receivers must be less than or equal to 12ms .
(Time for data packet from Voter-to-Sat RX vs delay Sat Rx-to-Voter < 12ms
e.g. 21ms - 16ms = 5ms < 12ms).
• Typical distance between the Voting Repeater and a Satellite Receiver is normally less than or equal to 90 miles (~145KM), so most of the business grade IP networks should be able to meet the less than 40ms delay and 12ms asymmetry requirement.
PAGE 9
SATELLITE RECEIVER CONSIDERATIONS• The max number of Satellite Receivers for a specific Voting Repeater at a
site depends on the number of repeater sites and active RDAC / MNIS applications.
* In general, for every 4 RDACs or data applications included in the system, the maximum number of satellite receivers is reduced by 1.For every voice application (e.g. voice console) included in the system, the maximum number is reduced by 2.
Numberof Sites
Max Number of Satellite Receivers
Per Voting Repeater Per Site Supported*
1 72 63 54 55 56 47 48 49 3
10 311 312 313 214 115 0
Note: This is the Maximum number of active satellite receivers at a time per repeater, Not the Max number of the satellite receivers that can be deployed per repeater. If the system installer can measure the inbound coverage and ensure that no more than the specified maximum number satellite receivers can receive a call, more satellite receivers can be installed.
PAGE 10
DIGITAL CONVENTIONAL SINGLE SITE/ LOCAL CHANNELS
In a voting configuration for Conventional Single Site system or
for local channels, one Voting repeater may be deployed with up
to seven (7) satellite receivers.
• Voting repeater must have a static IP address and be configured as an IP Master.
• Satellite Receivers register with that Master and uses the Radio ID of that Voting Repeater as reference.
PAGE 11
DIGITAL VOTING IN IP SITE CONNECT (WIDE AREA CHANNELS)
• In an IPSC system with Wide Area Channels, it is not necessary for the number of Satellite Receivers to be the same at each site.
• Satellite Receivers register with the IPSC Master and use the Radio ID of the Voting Repeater as reference for the Voter to which to forward the received call bursts.
Satellite Receiver
Digital Voter Repeater
PAGE 12
DIGITAL VOTING IN CAPACITY PLUS
• In order to obtain the same Trunking Channel inbound/outbound coverage from channel to channel, each Trunking repeater should have a Satellite Receiver at each Satellite Receiver location.
• It is recommended to place a Satellite Receiver for each Data Revert RF Channel to achieve the same inbound/outbound coverage as the voice channels (however, this is not a requirement).
• Satellite Receivers register with the Capacity Plus Master and use the Radio ID of the Trunking/Voting Repeater as reference for the Voter to which to forward the received call bursts.
PAGE 13
DIGITAL VOTING IN LINKED CAPACITY PLUS
• For each Linked Capacity Plus (LCP) site, similar to Capacity Plus, in order to obtain the same Trunking inbound/outbound coverage from channel to channel, each Trunked RF Channel should have a Satellite Receiver at every Satellite Receiver location.
• It is recommended to place a Satellite Receiver for each Data Revert RF Channel to achieve the same inbound/outbound coverage as the voice channels (however, this is not a requirement).
• It is not necessary for the number of Satellite Receivers to be the same at different LCP sites.
• Satellite Receivers register with the LCP Master and use the Radio ID of the Trunking/Voting Repeater as reference for the Voter to which to forward the received call bursts.
PAGE 14
DIGITAL VOTING CONSIDERATIONS
• If Digital Voting is enabled in a system with Enhanced GPS, some of the window sizes cannot be used for GPS updates, otherwise the GPS data may not be transmitted and received properly.
• Single Site system (Conventional Single Site, one site IPSC, Capacity Plus or one site LCP) - all window sizes 5 to 10 may be used. If CSBK data is enabled the window size must be 1 or 2
• Multisite IPSC or LCP,
− If IP delay between sites is 60 milliseconds, the window size must be 1 or 2 with CSBK data enabled, or 7 and higher for non-CSBK data calls.
− If IP delay is 90 milliseconds, the window size must be 1 or 2 with CSBK data enabled, or 8, and higher for non-CSBK data calls.
• When Enhanced GPS is enabled in the system, the Satellite Receiver must not be configured as a scheduler. “Enhanced GPS” section of the CPS must be set to “None” for both slots.

DIGITAL VOTING REPEATER PROGRAMMING
Digital Voter1. Configure the normal repeater codeplug (Radio ID, IP Address, Channel
Frequencies, etc) for the specific system.
2. Enable the Digital Voting feature via EID license
3. Set the Voting Mode to Digital Voter.
PAGE 16
Satellite ReceiverUse the Digital Voter codeplug as a template.1. Change the Radio ID.2. Set the Voting Mode to Satellite Receiver and enter the
corresponding Voter’s Radio ID.3. Set the Link Type to Peer (if isn’t already).4. Verify the system’s Master IP address and UDP port.5. Set the Satellite Receiver’s Ethernet IP, Gateway IP,
Mask and UDP port, or select DHCP.Note: In Capacity Plus or LCP systems, the Rest
Channel/Site IP is not necessary in the Satellite Receiver, so keep the address 0.0.0.0
6. If the Voter codeplug was used as a template, the RF Channel configuration should already be set. If not, add and configure the RF channel. Remember to set Enhanced GPS to “None” in the Satellite Receiver.

SOFTWARE LICENSES SERVER CHANGES
PAGE 37
• Problem Statement: Software Licenses that are Registered via MOTOTRBO CPS become associated with the specific PC.
• Motorola Solutions is migrating to a New FlexNet server for all software licensing to help address some of the drawbacks of the legacy licensing server (i.e. radio licenses being tied to a specific PC).
• No need to track and remember which PC was used to register which radio Serial Numbers, when using Radio Management (RM).
• All licenses can be managed within the Radio Management (RM) Server and activated from any RM Client (IP Connection to RM Server required).
• No longer need to worry about losing the registration for a given Serial Number if the hard drive crashed, as the licenses can be re-downloaded to the RM Server (not in CPS).
Note: Even new Licenses Registered via CPS will continue to be associated with the PC that registered them.
LICENSING SERVER MIGRATION
PAGE 38
• No New Software Feature Part Numbers needed.
• Radio & CPS application features will be migrated to new server licenses starting on November 21st.
• Any EID purchased after November 21st will require latest CPS 10.0 and RM 1.2 to Register / Activate all premium software features.
CUSTOMER IMPACT
CPS will support backwards compatibility with Legacy licenses and New (FNE) licenses for some time.
Radio Management (RM) can only use the New EID’s
