Home WACN ID

(Trunking System, General)

Selects (in decimal or hex format) the identification number of the ASTRO 25 Home WACN (Wide Area Communication Network) within which the radio normally operates. When the Coverage Type field is set to "Intra-WACN Roaming", this ID selection also serves as the "System Key" for all System Key Protected Trunking Fields. This selection applies for the current Trunking System.

	The radio uses this Home WACN ID, the System ID and the Unit ID to identify itself to the FNE (Fixed Network Equipment) when performing registration and authentication.
	A WACN is made up of one or more Systems.

When the Coverage Type field is set to "Intra-WACN Roaming" this selection is only valid when it matches the "System ID" (see the System Key Report) of a currently-loaded "Advanced WACN Key". See also the Intra-WACN Roaming Keystone Concept.

When the radio is model / option capable, and

when the System Type field is set to "ASTRO 25", and

( ( When the Coverage Type field is not set to "Intra-WACN Roaming" and therefore the System Key Type field is "System Key", then

a Software System Key File or an Advanced System Key with access, must be selected in the System ID field. )

( When the Coverage Type field is set to "Intra-WACN Roaming" and therefore the System Key Type field is "WACN Key", then

an Advanced WACN Key with access, must be selected in this Home WACN ID field. )

When the Coverage Type field is set to "Intra-WACN Roaming" and therefore the System Key Type field is "WACN Key", selections are based on the access of the WACN Key selected in this field for this Trunking System. The System Key Report allows you to view all currently-available System Keys.

When the Coverage Type field is not set to "Intra-WACN Roaming" and therefore the System Key Type field is "System Key", the selections are:

Minimum	Maximum
00001 (Hex)	FFFFE (Hex)

The selection range may be modified on a per Advanced Key basis by the Advanced Keys Administrator program.
