5300 ES Series Mobile Radio Operating Manual  -7
When a SMARTNET or SmartZone channel is selected or the radio is powered up on one 
of those channels, it searches for a control channel. Once a control channel is found, the 
alias (name) of the selected channel is displayed and the radio attempts to register on the 
radio system. If a control channel could not be found (because of an out of range condition 
or the system ID is not correct, for example), “NO SYS” (early units) or “Out Rnge” (later 
units) is displayed and the radio continues to search for a control channel.
The control channel transmits and receives system information to and from all radios 
registered on the system. Therefore, once a control channel is found, it is continuously 
monitored for incoming call information and is used to make call requests. The radio 
automatically changes to a traffic channel to place and receive calls and then returns to the 
control channel when the call is complete. Operating features unique to SMARTNET/
SmartZone channels are described in Section 6.
3.7.3 P25 Trunked Mode
The P25 Trunked operating features are very similar to the SmartZone type just described. 
Since SmartZone features are also similar to SMARTNET features, all three modes are 
described in Section 6. Some differences between the P25 Trunking and SmartZone 
modes are as follows:
• Digital signaling is always used with P25 calls. Either analog or digital signaling may 
be used for SmartZone calls.
• Calls made to a specific mobile in the P25 mode are called Unit Calls. In the 
SMARTNET/SmartZone mode they are called Private Calls.
• Messaging is not available with P25 calls.
• Telephone calls are available in this mode.
• The P25 control channel data rate is 9600 baud and the digital voice data rate is also 
9600 baud. With 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).
3.7.4 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.
