Special FCC Regulation Note:
- FCC NARROWBANDING MANDATE FOR ASTRO RADIOS 
Per the FCC Rule Part 90 requirements on narrowbanding, VHF and UHF radios imported or manufactured after 12/31/2012 will no longer be authorized to operate on 25 kHz channel bandwidth. The exception to Rule Part 90 narrowbanding requirements are for radios operating only within 470-512 MHz frequencies (T-Band), which will continue to support 25 kHz channel bandwidth functionality.  The FCC requires that a radio is authorized to operate within the specified bandwidth and that the user is required to have a FCC license to operate in that mode.   
NOTE: After the FCC mandate takes effect, specific frequencies in VHF and UHF are still allowed to operate at 25 kHz.  Examples of VHF and UHF services that are not subject to Part 90 narrowband include:  Part 80 marine frequencies, Part 87 aviation frequencies, Part 95, FRS/GMRS and MURS, Part 97 amateur frequencies, and NOAA weather channels.

 System Requirements:
- For System Requirements, please refer to the Installation Guide (Installation Guide.pdf) located at the root of the DVD for more information.

Known Issues:
- Please note that when working with Voice Announcement for the APX portable radios,   the 'Monitor On/Off' message will only be announced when switching to a switch   programmed to 'PL Disable', not when the Monitor button is pressed. 
- Some email applications may corrupt codeplug files. To avoid this issue, always zip   codeplug files (.mc) before emailing.  
- Tutorials - An intermittent Adobe Flash Player error message may appear while viewing   the help tutorials. Close the error message and the tutorials will resume playing.
- The vendor has phased out support for the parallel port adapter DS1410E.   Motorola does not support the parallel port on Windows 7 or x64 bit machines   as of version R05.00.00 APX CPS.
- Due to OS restrictions, when using the Voice Announcement Converter Utility,  multiple .mva (converted) files cannot be loaded into the APX CPS when the converted files are located in 'All Users\Desktop' folder.
- The APX CPS must be restarted after changing the screen resolution.
- The 'Scan List -> General -> Priority Member 1' field will be marked invalid and  appear in the Invalid Fields Report after an R05.00.00 version of a codeplug (MC) is  opened or an R05.00.00 radio is read that has the Priority Member 1 field set to   '<None>' or '<Unassigned>', the Dynamic Priority checkbox enabled and the   Priority 1 - Type field set to 'Fixed'.  To correct this condition, select a valid  Scan List Member channel / mode for the current Scan List.
- Due to a change to the 'Individual Call Max Target Ring Time (sec)' field in the  General Tab of the Trunking Wide node, when reading a radio in which this field was  previously programmed to 'Infinite', this field will be displayed as '60' and invalid. Please re-select the desired value for this field.
- Always use the Safely Remove Hardware icon when switching between USB FLASHkeys.   If FLASHport operation fails after switching USB FLASHkeys, try Safely Removing the   FLASHkey by following this procedure: From the system tray, right click on the Safely Remove Hardware icon, and select Safely Remove Hardware. The Safely Remove Hardware window appears. In the Hardware devices list, select the device 'USB Host   Adapter for 1-Wire Network using WinUSB' and click the Stop button. The Stop a   Hardware Device window appears. Click OK to confirm. Once the device is stopped, a temporary message is displayed in the system tray stating that the device can now be safely removed from the system. Remove the FLASHkey from the USB port. Wait at least 5 seconds and reconnect the FLASHkey to the USB port.
- Please note that when launching the tutorials, a single click is sufficient. Double-clicking might not work in certain operating system configurations.
- With certain power management configurations, radios connected to Windows 8 machines may not be able to communicate after the PC comes out of sleep mode. Disconnecting and powering the radio off and on will correct this issue.
- In rare instances it is possible that a radio may fail to be detected by the Device Programmer. If this occurs, disconnect and power down the radio, then re-connect and power the radio on. If this does not correct the issue, re-start the Device Programmer PC.
- To view any system keys that are loaded during startup, click on the System Key Report window under the Windows menu.
- If the Google Chrome Frame IE plug-in is installed, an Internet Explorer Script error may occur while using the CPS Help. To resolve this issue, Google Chrome Frame IE plug-in must be uninstalled.
- The Table toolbar disappears after clicking on Hide Matches in the Comparator. Workaround: Click the Unhide Matches in the Option menu and navigate to the records which are different.
- When working with O9 Control Head, please use Top node Drag and Drop and NOT node-to-node Drag and Drop .

Installation:
Please refer to the "Installation Guide" (Installation Guide.pdf) located at the root of the DVD for more information.

Connecting the PC to the Radio:
- Only use the following direct PC to radio cables: 
->	PMKN4012A for the portable radios
->	HKN6184A for the mobile radios
->	PMKN4013C for the APX2000 and the APX3000 radio 
- When using the USB cable, be sure to click 'Yes' on the Digital Signature window whenever it is displayed by the operating system. Wait until the radio enumerates on the PC before attempting to read or program the radio (5-7 seconds on Windows XP and Window 7, 15-20 seconds on Windows Vista). Not waiting for enumeration will cause the read or write to fail.
- Communication issues between the CPS and the radio might be encountered due to firewall settings. Certain aspects of Proventia Desktop, BlackICE, and any other   software that affects networking capability may need to be disabled. These programs can interfere with the APX CPS's ability to read from and write to the radio. If   BlackICE is installed and required for the PC, the BlackICE service may need to be stopped in order to successfully communicate with the radio. The state of the   BlackICE service can be verified on Windows XP by going to Start->Settings->Control Panel-> Administrative Tools->Services. Under the Name column, look for BlackICE.
- To prevent intermittent Blue Screen Windows crashes when attaching or detaching an APX radio to a PC using USB, verify that the Nortel Connectivity VPN Client Software is not installed on the PC. If it is installed and required for the PC, ensure that the EACFILT.sys driver is disabled on the 'Motorola APX Series Radio' connection by performing the following steps:
1.	Open Network connections (Start->Settings->Network Connections)
2.	Under LAN, right click on the 'Motorola APX Series Radio' connection  and select properties
3.	Uncheck the Eacfilt check box.
- If the wireless Internet connection on the laptop/PC gets disabled when attaching the Motorola APX radio to the Laptop/PC or if OTAP fails during wired read/write/clone, follow these troubleshooting steps shown below  to address the problem:
  Windows XP: 
1.	Open Network Connections explorer window by going to Start->Settings->Control Panel->Network Connections

4.	If the PC supports both IPv4 and IPv6, keep both IPv4 and IPv6 checked
- NetMotion wireless LAN software will interfere with radio programming. When the radio registers on the system with an IP Address, the NetMotion software detects it and tries to manage it as a network. Please disable this software in order to program radios with the CPS.

POP25 Operations:
- TCP Retransmissions on the PC machine needs to be set to 5 or higher in order for POP25 programming to work effectively. Motorola recommends that if the following registry keys are defined on the PC, they be set to the following values:
     On Both Windows Vista and XP:
        - HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
          \SYSTEM
          \CurrentControlSet
          \Services
          \Tcpip
          \Parameters
          \TcpMaxDataRetransmissions - 5 or more 

     On XP Only:
        -HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
          \SYSTEM
          \CurrentControlSet
          \Services
          \Tcpip
          \Parameters
          \TcpMaxConnectRetransmissions - 3 or more
- While the POP25 operation is in progress, do NOT attempt to start a second session until the first session is done.
- It is recommended to use batch programming if more than 16 radios need to be programmed in a single session.

NOTE:  Batch Programming should NOT be used to add or modify system names and types in the radio, in order for the Radio IDs to be retained in the target radios, the Conventional System (System Name and System Type) and the Trunking System (System Name) MUST match between the CPSs currently loaded codeplug and the target radios. See more information in the CPS help.

Conventional POP25 Operations:
Please note that Conventional POP25 requires the MTU size to be set to 512 bytes. The Maximum Transfer Unit (MTU) size of an over-the-air datagram is 512 bytes plus a 13 byte encryption header if secure messaging is being used, resulting in an overall total datagram size of 525 bytes.
If excessive failures occur when doing Conventional POP25 on Windows Vista and Windows 7 Operating Systems please do the following:   
1.	Open a command line window as an Administrator (ie. right click on All Programs > Accessories > Command Prompt and select Run as administrator) ...
2.	Type the command netsh and wait for prompt
3.	Type the command interface and wait for prompt
4.	Type the command ipv4 and wait for prompt
5.	Type the command show subinterfaces from the ipv4 prompt and <Enter> to see list of interfaces.
6.	The connection interface being used should be listed under the Interface heading in the result list:
7.	Type the command set subinterface "<name of the network connection being used>" mtu=512 store=persistent
For example, set subinterface "Local Area Connection 3" mtu=512 store=persistent from the ipv4 prompt and <Enter> to set the MTU size.

Long Cable Configuration:
 The following steps will need to be completed to change to a Long Cable Configuration. 
1.	A Flash Upgrade with the existing radio configuration will need to be completed using the standard cable. 
2.	Within the CPS, set the field 'Aggregate Cable Length' to 'Greater than 40 m'.
3.	Program the radio (use standard cable). 
4.	On the Control Head, change the control head ID to A or B: 
Cycle power on the control head and immediately hold down the following keys Orange Button (Emergency) and the left-most menu button. A number (example: "1") will be displayed, indicating the control head ID. Change the control head ID by rotating the Mode Button from number 1 to A or B.
5.	Cycle power on the radio and ensure that it restarts without errors.
6.	Remove power from the radio. 
7.	Exchange the standard cable for the long cable. 
8.	Apply power to the radio and ensure that it restarts without errors.
