(Learning and Programming CPS Tools)

DotBlue.png Within CPS Radio Management, Programming Over Project 25 (POP25) / Over the Air Programming (OTAP) allows for wireless reading or writing of radio codeplug data. This read or write communication event (see Schedule a Job) is possible anywhere within the radio's coverage area via an "ASTRO 25" Trunking Communications system, or within the radio's coverage area via an "ASTRO" Conventional System. DotGreen.png Trunking OTAP is accomplished with the POP25 communication method.

Must Be In Range

  1. MANDATORY:

  1. For POP25 to be accomplished on an "ASTRO 25" Trunking System, POP25 targeted in-the-field radios must be in active Trunking Communication with an in-the-field POP25-capable and Data-capable Trunking System, OR

  2. For POP25 to be accomplished on an "ASTRO" Conventional System, POP25 targeted in-the-field radios must be in active Conventional Communication with an in-the-field POP25-capable and Data-capable Conventional System.

Must Be Pre-Programmed in POP25 targeted radio's RM Template / Codeplug prior to these radios going out in-the-field:

  1. MANDATORY:

  1. The POP25 Enable field must be enabled on a radio's programmed Trunking System that will be in communication with the in-the-field Trunking System; See #1a above, OR

  2. The POP25 Enable field must be enabled on a radio's programmed Conventional System that will be in communication with the in-the-field Conventional System; See #1b above.

  1. OPTIONAL: CPS Data Wide, POP25 Page preferences related to an in-the-field radio receiving a Radio Management Read or Write include:

Must Be Programmed within a RM Template / Codeplug at the actual time of scheduling the Read or Write Job. This must be true for each radio included within the Job:

  1. When ARS is needed to retrieve the Radio's IP Address during POP25, also consider these two Data Profile POP25 related settings: ARS Mode and ARS Address.

Or, when the Radio's IP Address is known and therefore ARS is not needed, enter the IP Address in the OTA Fixed IP field (see How To: Configure FIP Mode programming).

  1. MANDATORY:

  • The CPS POP25 Enable field must be enabled for the same Trunking System as mentioned just above in #1a and #2a. Therefore, the System ID must be the same for this source codeplug's "POP25 Enabled" Trunking System, the in-the-field Trunking System (see #1a), and in the Trunking System of the targeted radio (see #2a).

  • For Conventional-only radios, the POP25 Enable field must be enabled for the same Conventional System as mentioned just above in #1b and #2b.

  1. MANDATORY: From the Radio Management's Schedule a Job window, the Connection Method field must be set as "OTAP" or "Any" in order for over-the-air communications to occur.

  1. MANDATORY: An Advanced Key with OTAP / POP25 capability must be currently loaded in the CPS at the time that the Job is Scheduled (For Advanced Key with OTAP capability see also the Advanced System Key Administrator and the System Key Report).
