Direct Network ID

(Conventional Personality, Frequency Options)

Selects (in decimal or hex format) a Network ID number to be used when the Conventional Wide, Direct Frequency field is enabled and while operating in Direct / Talkaround mode and ASTRO System (digital) mode. This ID signifies that a Direct Frequency, which may be different from the Rx / TA Frequency, is in use. Ultimately, this ID allows for the separation of addressing modes among co-channel and adjacent channel users; this serves the same purpose as Private Line (PL), which is used in analog mode. This selection applies only for the current Frequency Options profile (record / row) of the current Conventional Personality.

Frequency Option profiles can be selected for use within the Zone Channel Assignment's Channels Page; first, the personality is selected in the Personality field, and then the Frequency Options profile is selected in the Frequency Options field.

	When Direct / Talkaround is enabled for this Frequency Options profile and the Direct Frequency field is enabled, this Direct Network ID can then be modified on a per Frequency Options profile basis. When the radio-user initiates Direct / Talkaround mode, the radio then transmits and receives on the Direct Frequency instead of the Rx / TA Frequency.
	When Direct / Talkaround is enabled for this Frequency Options profile and the Direct Frequency field is disabled, the Rx / TA Frequency and the Rx / TA Network ID setting are used whenever the radio-user initiates Direct / Talkaround mode.
	Direct / Talkaround must be enabled on a Frequency Options profile in order to be available to the radio-user for a radio channel. Direct / Talkaround mode is selected by the radio-user with the Direct / Talkaround button-press, the Talkaround / Direct switch-selection, or the Direct / Talkaround menu-selection.
