GENERAL OPERATION
16
SmartZone operation, the control channel data rate 
is 3600 baud (both digital and analog calls) and the 
narrowband digital voice data rate is 9600 baud.
The P25 mode uses a system ID, Wide Area 
Communications Network (WACN) ID, and RF 
Subsystem ID (RFSS). The SmartZone mode does 
not use the WACN and RFSS IDs.
P25 Unit IDs can be 1-16,777,215 (000001-FFFFFF 
hex) and SmartZone Unit IDs can be 1-65,535 
(0001-FFFF hex).
3.7.5  SYSTEMS, CHANNELS, AND ZONES
A zone and channel are selected to place and 
receive calls. The following describes the relationship 
between systems, channels, and zones.
Systems
A system is a collection of channels or talk 
groups belonging to the same repeater site. It defines 
all the parameters and protocol information required to 
access a site. Up to 16 systems of any type can be 
programmed. 
The maximum number of channels assignable to 
a system is limited to 256. Channels may also be 
limited by available memory space as described in the 
following information.
Channels
A channel selects a radio (RF) channel or talk 
group as follows:
Conventional Analog Mode - A channel selects a 
specific radio channel, Call Guard (CTCSS/DCS) 
squelch coding, and other parameters unique to that 
channel.
Conventional Project 25 Mode - A channel selects a 
specific radio channel, NAC squelch coding, talk 
group ID, and other parameters unique to that channel. 
Mode - A channel selects a specific talk group ID and 
other parameters unique to that talk group.
SMARTNET/SmartZone and Trunked Project 25 
Modes -
 A channel selects a specific talk group, 
announcement group, emergency group, and other 
parameters unique to that talk group.
A maximum of up to approximately 256 channels 
can be programmed with the preceding modes. These 
channels can belong to a single system or multiple 
systems. The maximum number is also limited by the 
available memory. For example, since more memory is 
required to program a SMARTNET system than a 
conventional system, the total number of channels 
decreases as the number of SMARTNET channels 
increases. The programming software displays a bar 
graph which shows the amount of available memory 
space that is used by the current data. 
Zones
A zone is a collection of up to 16 channels of any 
type. For example, a zone could include 12 conven-
tional channels and 4 SMARTNET channels. One use 
of zones may be to program the channels used for 
operation in a different geographical areas. The 
maximum number of zones is 16.
