Advanced Capabilities

Monitor Multiple Radio Systems from One PC: Network Access Radio can interface to a variety of mobile radios, supporting both trunking and conventional operations. The fixed mobile radios can operate on different radio frequencies (VHF, UHF, 800 MHz, and 900 MHz). When different radios are paired with different servers, Remote PC users can access multiple systems from a single PC.

Scan Between Geographic Locations or Radio Systems or Channels: Each Remote PC can be configured to scan between Radio Gateways in a unique order. Since each Gateway may be located in a different geographic region or interface to a different radio system, NAR provides the unique capability of scanning between different locations or radio systems. Similarly, different Gateways may be set to different channels or trunked talk groups in the same geographic area. In this case, the NAR Remote can scan between different channels or talk groups.

Queue Management: The Network Access Radio system can queue a call in two ways. First, each Network Access Radio server keeps track of those remote PCs that have pressed transmit and hold while someone else is talking. These users are placed in a first come, first serve queue. Also, “Trunked” radio systems can queue users on the system in case working or “talk” channels are busy. The queue tones from the fixed mobile radio can be routed to the Remote PCs.

Adjustable Windows With Familiar Controls: A collapsible window provides the user interface. It can be re-sized or minimized for the times when the office worker is using the PC for other tasks but can also be made large enough to provide detailed information. The user may rearrange the column order and adjust the column widths in the main portion of the screen to further customize the presentation.

Call History: The Network Access Radio user interface displays the time and date of the last 32 calls for each Radio Gateway. When a field radio calls in, the time of that call is displayed so that Remote PCs users can see when a call last came in. Likewise the time of the last call initiated by another Remote is shown.

Status Icons: Color icons show if the last call came from a field radio or another Remote PC.

Hands-free Transmissions: Use an optional footswitch or the Transmit and Hold button. The transmitter can be locked on so that the Remote PC user can use his hands to access other information while talking on the radio system.

Access Security: Network Access Radio offers password protection to Server access and to the configuration menus.
