DEFINITIONS:

Site

The Site Alias Text is used as a "Site alias" for the radio's currently-registered site.

The Trunking System's Coverage Type selection determines how a site must be defined for site aliasing.

For "SmartZone" only the Site ID is needed.
For "SmartZone & OmniLink", the RFSS Alias Number and Site ID are needed.
For "Intra-WACN Roaming", the System Number, RFSS Alias Number, and Site ID are needed.
For "Inter-WACN Roaming", the System Number, RFSS Alias Number, Site ID and Home RAS WACN Number are needed.

System

The Site Alias Text is used as a "System alias" for the radio's currently-registered foreign Trunking System.

Systems Aliases are defined by their Home RAS WACN Number and System Number.

Only the Trunking System Coverage Type of "Inter-WACN Roaming" is possible for the "System" Alias Type. System Aliases are used to create a PTT-ID or a site alias:

When the radio receives a call from a foreign radio, and a site alias for the site in the specified Trunking System is not defined, then this System alias and the Unit ID appears in the receiving radio's display, identifying the calling radio. If a System alias is not defined, the entire Subscriber Unit ID (SUID) of the foreign radio appears in the receiving radio's display; the SUID is a combination of the Home WACN ID, System ID and Unit ID.
If the radio has roamed to a foreign Trunking System where no Site alias is available for the current site, then this System alias, the Site ID and its corresponding received signal strength indicator (RSSI) level appears in the radio's display when the radio-user initiates a Site Display / Srch button-press. If a System alias is not defined for the currently-registered foreign System, then the entire site ID (Home RAS WACN Number + System Number + Site ID + RSSI level) appears in the radio's display.
