DotBlue.png Radio Management (RM) facilitates the creation of an extremely efficient radio programming configuration. Radio Management allows you to manage and program multiple radios at a time. Radio codeplugs are stored on a central database server allowing for remote configuration of data and remote programming of radios. A single codeplug can be used as a template, which can then be shared across multiple radios. Template edits may then be easily applied to all affected radios. Changes to a template or to an individual radio’s parameters can be scheduled as a programming job.

With a USB or Wi-Fi connection, Gang Programming and Gang FLASHing allows for simultaneous programming and simultaneous software upgrading of up to 16 radios.

   The Four Components of Radio Management:

The CPS Radio Management (RM) system is designed to allow for all four components to be located on one computer, or on multiple computers.

  1. There is only one RM Server per system

  1. Many Radio Management Clients (RMCs) are possible

  1. Many Device Programmer are possible

  2. Many Job Processors are possible

   Common Radio Management Tasks Include:

Adding Radios to Radio Management

Managing Codeplug and Template Data

RM Productivity Features

Managing Programming Jobs

Programming and Upgrading Radios
