used to program ID Tags for each ICM TxR Unit.
Three types of data that can be stored on an ID Tag:
Name, Team and Special (base station ID)
Name, Team and Special (base station ID)
Note: Only one data type per ID Tag can be stored.
The name ID is used to assign a firefighter name to an
ICM TxR Unit. The name ID Tag must be scanned into
the ICM TxR Unit at the start of each shift (every 24 hours
by default). The ICM Link program can be used to
change this default to allow a name ID to be permanently
assigned to the ICM TxR Unit until a new name ID tag has
been scanned. If a team ID tag has been scanned into
the ICM TxR Unit but a name ID tag has not been
scanned, the team ID will be displayed on the SCBA mon-
itoring software to provide accountability even if the fire-
fighter has forgotten to scan the name ID tag. If a team
ID has not been assigned to the ICM TxR Unit, the ICM
TxR Unit’s serial number will be displayed a the firefight-
er’s ID when logged on to the base station.

The team ID is used to assign a permanent team name
and seat position to an ICM TxR Unit. When a team
name has been assigned to an ICM TxR Unit, it will auto-
matically create this team on the PC software and move
that firefighter into the specified team and team position.
Once a team ID tag has been scanned into an ICM TxR
Unit, this team ID will remain with the ICM TxR Unit until
another team ID tag has been scanned.

Once a team ID tag has been scanned into an ICM TxR
Unit, this team ID will remain with the ICM TxR Unit until
another team ID tag has been scanned.
The Special ID is used to assign a specific base station ID
to an ICM TxR Unit. When more than one (1) base station
is present and actively monitoring at an incident, an ICM
TxR Unit with an assigned base station will search for the
preferred base station first to log on to, and if it does not
find the assigned base station within 20 seconds, it will
search for the first available base station and log on to it.
Once a base station ID tag has been scanned into and
ICM TxR Unit, this base station ID will remain with the
ICM TxR Unit until another base station ID tag has been
scanned (a base station of 00000000, eight (8) zeros can
be scanned into the ICM to remove the base station pref-
erence).

The SCBA monitoring window must be closed before
the tag writer portion of the software can be used.
Failure to close this window may cause the ID Tag
Writer to not respond and may prevent the use of the
Tag Writer feature until the SCBA monitoring window
has been closed.
