The following procedures form a set of tests applicable to the City of Miami Beach
SmartZone system.
Clarification note: In the SmartZone environment the term "site" refers to a sub -system of
the SmartZone controller. In this particular case, the City of Miami Beach simulcast system
is considered a "site" of the SmartZone system. The term is confused sometimes with the
RF sites of the City of Miami Beach simulcast sub -system. In this particular case, the Fire
Station 2, Tower 41, 75th Street, and Rebecca Tower locations are considered RF sites of the
simulcast system.
TRUNKING TESTS
Test 1- Talkgroup Call
Description
The Talkgroup is the primary level of organization for communications on a trunked radio
system. Radios with Talkgroup call capability will be able to communicate with other
members of the same Talkgroup. This provides the effect of a private channel down to the
Talkgroup level. This test will demonstrate that a Talkgroup transmission initiated by a
radio user will only be heard by system users, which have, the same Talkgroup selected. It
will be performed in ASTRO Digital mode. As with other types of calls, talkgroup calls can
take place from anywhere in the system.
Setup
Four radios, each capable of performing calls on two unique talkgroups, are required to
perform this test (Radios 1, 2, 3 and 4). This test requires Radios 1 and 3 to be affiliated to
the same site and Radios 2 and 4 to be affiliated anywhere else in the system. Set Radios 1
and 2 to Talkgroup A, and Radios 3 and 4 to Talkgroup B.
Test
Step 1 While the system is in wide area operation, verify that all radios are affiliated as
described above.
Step 2. Initiate a call with Radio 1 in Talkgroup A.
Step 3. Observe that only Radio 2 will be able to monitor and respond to the call.
Observe that Radio 2 displays the unit ID of Radio 1 in the digital mode. Note:
Radios must be properly eauinved to display unit ID.
Step 4. Initiate a wide area call with Radio 3 in Talkgroup B.
Step 5. Observe that only Radio 4 will be able to monitor and respond to the call.

Test 2 - ASTRO Secure Operation
Description
Digital encryption is used to scramble a transmission so only properly equipped radios can
monitor the conversation. A "Key" is used to encrypt the transmit audio. Only radios with
the same "Key" can decrypt the audio and listen to it.
Setup
Four radios, each capable of performing secure calls on a common talkgroup, are required to
perform this test (Radios 1, 2, 3 and 4). This test requires Radios 1, 2 and 3 to be set in the
secure mode of operation while Radio 4 remains in the non -secure mode of operation. All
radios should be set to the same talkgroup. Verify the identical key is programmed into
Radios 1, 2 and 4 and that Radio 3 has no secure key loaded or has a unique secure key from
the other testing radios. The radios may be affiliated to any site in the system.
Test
Step 1. While the system is in wide area operation, verify all radios are on the
same talkgroup.
Step 2. Initiate a secure wide area call with Radio 1 on the selected talkgroup. Keep this
call in progress until instructed to end the call.
Step 3. Observe that Radio 2 will be able to monitor and respond to the call.
Step 4. Observe that Radio 3 does not receive the call.
Step 5. Observe that Radio 4 will also receive the call even with the secure switch set to
the non -secure mode of operation.
Step 6. End the call from Radio 1.
Step 7. For radios equipped with dual algorithm encryption modules, select a talkgroup
using the second algorithm and repeat steps 1-5.

TRUNKING TESTS
Test 3 - Multigroup Call
Description
This trunking feature allows an equipped radio user to transmit an announcement to several
different talkgroups simultaneously. The multigroup call can be flagged for Wait Mode in
the Zone Configuration Manager database forcing all attached talkgroups to finish calls in
progress before the trunked system will process the multigroup call. The system does not
permit inactive, attached talkgroups to initiate talkgroup calls during the "wait" timeframe.
Alternatively, the multigroup call can be flagged for Interrupt Mode meaning that the
trunked system does not wait for attached talkgroups to finish calls in progress. Upon de -
keying, the interrupted radios will join the multigroup call in progress. Both the Wait and
Interrupt modes will be demonstrated. As with other types of calls, multigroup calls can
take place from anywhere in the system.
Test 3A Multigroup Call For Wait Mode
Setup
Four radios, with one radio capable of performing Multigroup Calls to associated
talkgroups, are required to perform this test (Radios 1, 2 , 3 and 4). This test requires each of
the radios to be affiliated onto different sites across the system. Set Radio 1 to Talkgroup A,
Radio 2 to Talkgroup B and Radio 3 to Talkgroup C. Set Radio 4 to MG1 which has
attached Talkgroups A and B. Talkgroup C is not attached to MG1.
Step 1. Verify MG1 is set for the Wait mode in the ZM database.
Step 2. Using Radio 1, initiate a call on Talkgroup A.
Step 3. While Radio 1 is keyed, attempt to initiate a multigroup call using Radio 4 on
MG1. Verify Radio 4 receives a busy tone because one of the talkgroups attached
to MG1 is involved in a talkgroup call.
Step 4. Dekey Radio 1 and verify Radio 4 receives a callback.
Step 5. Key Radio 4 and verify both Radio 1 and radio 2 hear the multigroup call while
Radio 3 does not unmute.

Test 3B Multigroup Call For Interrupt Mode
Setup
Four radios, with one radio capable of performing Multigroup Calls to associated
talkgroups, are required to perform this test (Radios 1, 2, 3 and 4). This test requires each of
the radios to be affiliated onto different sites across the system. Set Radio 1 to Talkgroup A,
Radio 2 to Talkgroup B and Radio 3 to Talkgroup C. Set Radio 4 to MGI which has
attached Talkgroups A and B. Talkgroup C is not attached to MGI.
Step 1. Verify MG1 is set for the Interrupt mode in the ZM database.
Step 2. Using Radio 1, initiate a call on Talkgroup A.
Step 3. While Radio 1 is keyed, initiate a multigroup call using Radio 4 on MG1. Verify
Radio 2 receives the call but Radio 3 does not unmute.
Step 4. Dekey Radio 1 and verify Radio 1 unmutes and joins the multigroup call in
progress.

Test 4 - Private Call
Description
Private Call is a selective calling feature that allows a dispatcher or radio user to carry on
one-to-one conversation that is only heard by the 2 parties involved. Subscriber units
receiving a private call will sound an alert tone. As with other types of calls, Private Calls
can take place from anywhere in the system.
Setup
Three radios are required to perform this test (Radios 1, 2 and 3). This test requires each
radio to be affiliated at different sites throughout the system. Initially verify that all radios
have the identical talkgroup selected.
Step 1. While the system is in wide area operation, verify that all radios are affiliated as
described above.
Step 2. Using Radio 1, press the Private Call button.
Step 3. Enter the unit ID of Radio 2 with the keypad, or scroll to the location where this
ID is stored.
Step 4. Press the PTT to initiate the call.

Test 6 - Emergency Alarm/Call
Description
Users in life threatening situations can use the Emergency button on the radio to
immediately send a signal to the dispatcher and be assigned the next available voice channel.
The first available channel is assigned and held by the emergency talkgroup. An Emergency
Call assignment can be set to either Top of Queue (waits for a channel to become available)
or Ruthless Preemption (forces another call to be de -assigned) operation.
Setup
Four radios are required to perform this test (Radios 1, 2, 3 and 4). This test requires Radios
1, 3 and 4 to be affiliated to the same site and Radio 2 to be affiliated to any other site in the
system. Initially verify that Radios 1 and 2 have the identical Talkgroup A selected, Radio 3
is on a unique Talkgroup B, and Radio 4 is on a unique Talkgroup C. The emergency type
for Talkgroup A must be set up through the User Configuration Manager (UCM) for either
Top of Queue or Ruthless Preemption.

Test 7- Busy Queuing and Callback with Ten Talkgroup
Priority Levels
Description
If no voice channel resources are available, radios requesting channels for new
conversations are placed in a queue. Users of the same priority will move through the
queue in a FIFO (first in, first out) sequence; however, users of higher priority will be
inserted ahead of lower priority users in queue.
When a voice channel becomes available, the radio at the top of the busy queue gets a
channel assignment and generates a callback tone. The callback tone alerts the user that a
channel assignment was made and transmitting is now possible on the selected talkgroup.
Note — An Emergency Call has the highest priority at level 1. 2 is the highest assignable
priority and 10 (default priority level) is the lowest.
Setup
Six radios are required to perform this test (Radios 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6). This test requires
Radios 1, 2 and 3 to be affiliated to one site and Radios 4, 5 and 6 to be affiliated to any
other site . Set Radios 1 and 4 to Talkgroup A. Set Radios 2 and 5 to Talkgroup B. Set
Radios 3 and 6 to Talkgroup C. The Dispatch Priority level for Talkgroups A and C should
be the default level of 10. Set the Dispatch Priority level of Talkgroup B to 9 through the
User Configuration Manager. The busy condition is created by disabling all channels except
the control channel and one voice channel (will be the same channel for IR sites with Voice
on Control) at the site to which Radios 1, 2 and 3 are affiliated. All radios must have Busy
Over -ride set to Disabled in the Zone Configuration Manager.
Test
Step 1.
While the system is in wide area operation, verify that all radios are affiliated as
described above.
Step 2. Initiate a Talkgroup Call with Radio 1 and observe that it is received by Radio 4.
Keep this call in progress until instructed to end the call.

Test 8 - Priority Monitor
Description
The Talkgroup Scan feature enables a subscriber radio unit to automatically monitor specific
Talkgroups pre-programmed into the radio for any activity. The radio "listens" on the
control channel to see if there is a voice channel assigned for one of the Talkgroups in its
scan list. If there is, it will go to the assigned voice channel and monitor the call. A
Talkgroup can be assigned a Priority and Non -Priority designation. The scanning Radio will
stop monitoring one Talkgroup call and join another if the new Talkgroup call has the higher
priority. Note that the radio will scan for Talkgroups only at the site it is affiliated with.
Test 8A - Non -Priority Scan
Setup
Four radios are required to perform this test (Radios 1, 2, 3, and 4). This test requires Radios
1 and 2 to be affiliated to same site and Radios 3 and 4 to be affiliated to any other site in the
system. Radio 1 will be set to the scan mode of operation and programmed to scan all
Talkgroups. Set Radio 1 to Talkgroup A, Radios 2 and 3 to Talkgroup B and Radio 4 to
Talkgroup C.
Test
Step 1.
While the system is in wide area operation, verify that all radios are affiliated as
described above.
Step 2. Initiate a Talkgroup Call with Radio 3. Verify that Radio 2 hears the call and that
Radio 1 scans to the talkgroup and receives the call.
Step 3. Dekey Radio 3.
Step 4. Initiate a Talkgroup Call with Radio 4 and verify that Radio 1 does not receive the
call. There are no Radios at that site affiliated with TG C so no site resources are
allocated to the call.

Test 9 - Automatic retry
Description
Automatic retry is a feature to ensure system access and eliminate the need for a radio user
to rekey or remain keyed in an effort to gain a channel. When the radio operator presses the
PTT, the radio sends a burst of data to the system central controller via the control channel
to request a voice channel. To ensure that the request gets through in the event of weak
signal levels or interference, the radio will automatically continue to send a channel request
until the request is acknowledged by the central controller or until approximately 4 seconds
has passed. Automatic retries are random to minimize contention on the control channel.
Setup
One radio is required with the antenna removed.
Test
Step 1.
Key the radio.
Step 2. Verify the transmit indicator on the radio flashes for approximately 4 seconds as
the radio retries the PTT request.
Step 3. Rekey the radio and re -attach the antenna.
Step 4. Verify the radio gets a callback.

any specific site affiliations for the radios under test. Initially verify that all radios have the
identical talkgroup selected.
Test
Step 1. Turn OFF one of the radios in the talkgroup or switch it to another talkgroup.
Step 2. Initiate a Talkgroup Call using another radio in the talkgroup.
Step 3. While the Talkgroup Call is in progress, the radio from step 1 is either turned ON
or set back to the proper talkgroup.
Step 4. Observe that the radio, which was just brought back into service, joins the
Talkgroup Call already in progress.

Test 12 - Site Access Control
Description
Note: The term "site" refers to an SmartZone controller site. In this case the City of Miami
Beach Simulcast system is considered a "site" of the SmartZone controller.
The User Configuration Manager can be used to limit radio or talkgroup access to selected
valid sites. User Configuration Manager flags establish which sites are valid for each
individual radio user, talkgroup, and multigroup. An overall Site Access Denial flag for the
system governs how these radio and talkgroup settings affect the affiliation or rejection of
radios to individual sites. Four possible values for the Site Access Denial flag exist:
Individual Only, Talkgroup Only, Either, or Both. Descriptions of these four selections
follow:
"Individual Only" Site Access Denial dictates that a radio will not be allowed to affiliate to a
particular site if the radio user does not have access to that site. If the Site Access Denial
flag is set to "Individual Only", the talkgroup record for valid sites is not used in the
determination of actual site affiliation permissions.
"Talkgroup (TG) Only " Site Access Denial dictates that a radio will not be allowed to
affiliate to a particular site if its affiliated talkgroup does not have access to that site. In this
case, the individual radio user setting for valid sites is not used in the determination of actual
site affiliation permissions.
"Either" Site Access Denial indicates that a radio will not be allowed to affiliate to a site if
either the radio user or affiliated talkgroup does not have access to that site.
"Both" Site Access Denial indicates that a radio will not be allowed to affiliate to a site only
if both the radio user and affiliated talkgroup do not have access to the site.

Step 2. Set Site 1 to be a non -valid site for TG A through the UCM.
Step 3. Verify that Radio 1 is still allowed to affiliate to Site 1 and make the TG A call
since the individual Radio user record determines site access.
Step 4. Initiate a Private Call from Radio 1 to Radio 2. Verify that the Private Call occurs
since Radio 1 and Radio 2 are valid at Site 1.
Step 5. Set Site 1 to be a non -valid site for Radio 2 through the UCM.
Step 6. Verify that Radio 2 can no longer affiliate to Site 1 and therefore cannot make
talkgroup calls since the individual Radio user record determines site access.

RADIO CONTROL MANAGER (RCM) TESTS
Test 2 - Dynamic Regrouping
Description
Dynamic Regrouping allows the RCM to assign individual radios operating in different
talkgroups to a temporary talkgroup via the REGROUP command. Network managers or
supervisors can override individual radio talkgroup selections by steering regrouped
subscribers to a new talkgroup containing users which need to communicate on a temporary
basis. After receiving a REGROUP command, a radio will ignore the current setting of the
talkgroup selector and move to the target talkgroup specified in the Regroup command.
Unless the supervisor issues a LOCK command, the radio user can deselect the target
talkgroup by selecting another talkgroup using the radio selector. A unique location on the
radio selector is reserved for the target talkgroup following a REGROUP command.
Dynamic Regrouping assignments can be initiated rapidly, but not instantaneously.
Regrouping is best suited for planned activities or occasional changes from normal routines.
It is not intended for immediate emergency responses such as highspeed chases or far rapid
deployments on a per incident basis.
Regrouped radios receiving a second Regroup command will move to the new target
talkgroup specified in the second command. When a regrouped radio receives a REGROUP
command, all information pertaining to the previous REGROUP command is lost. An
)(REGROUP command returns an individual radio to its normal operation.
Note - RCM user must be attached to primary and target talkgroups.
Setup
Six radios, are required to perform this test (Radios 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6). Set Radios 1, 2 and 3

Test 3 - Multiple Control Channels
Description
A maximum of four channels are eligible for assignment as control channel in each site. In
the event that the assigned control channel fails at any remote site, the Zone controller
automatically selects one of the other control capable channels as the active control channel
for that site. A Control Channel Preference Level can be used to rank the control capable
channels where 1 is the highest ranking and 4 is the lowest.
Setup
Four radios, each capable of performing calls on two unique Talkgroups, are required to
perform this test (Radios 1, 2, 3, and 4).. Set Radios 1 and 2 to Talkgroup A, and Radios 3
and 4 to Talkgroup B.

Test 4 - Subsystem Failsoft
Description
Failure of all control channels, failure of all voice channels, or failure of the subsystem or
site controller will cause a Zone subsystem to enter failsoft operations. Subscribers can be
programmed to operate in failsoft by talkgroup; to search its list of control channel
frequencies in failsoft; or to disable failsoft altogether. When a system enters failsoft, a
radio programmed for failsoft by talkgroup will first look for a specific failsoft channel
dictated by the selected talkgroup. Since many systems have different frequencies across
sites, if the radio is unable to find the talkgroup's failsoft channel the radio will instead
operate in the control channel search failsoft mode. A radio programmed or needing to
search control channels for failsoft frequencies will lock onto the lowest frequency control
channel at the site.
Setup
Two radios are required to perform this test (Radios 1 and 2). Ensure they are affiliated to
the same site on Talkgroup A. Program Radios for failsoft operation by talkgroup.
Test
Step 1.
Using the Zone Configuration Manager, put the system into failsoft mode.
Step 2. Verify that the radios operate according to their failsoft programming scheme
(failsoft by talkgroup in this test, failsoft by personality or failsoft disabled are
other options).
Step 3. Initiate a talkgroup call from Radio 1 while in failsoft mode.
Step 4. Verify that Radio 1 emits a failsoft tone approximately once every ten seconds.
Step 5. Verify that Radio 1 operates on the correct failsoft channel for its selected
Talkgroup A and Radio 2 hears its audio.
Step 6. Disable the failsoft channel associated with Talkgroup A.
Step 7. Verify that both Radios search their control channel list for a suitable failsoft
channel since the original Talkgroup A channel has been disabled.

Test 8 - Receiver Interference Shutdown
Description
Receiver interference occurs when an unauthorized signal is received by a repeater. In order
to prevent a disruption of communications, the affected channel will be removed from the
system's pool of available channel resources when the undesired carrier is detected for
longer than the specified time-out period. Once the interfering carrier disappears, the
channel is returned to service within approximately 5 minutes. The channel is then enabled.
Setup
Set the Carrier Malfunction Timer through the Zone Configuration Manager to 5 seconds.
Test
Step 1. Using a service monitor, transmit a 1 kHz tone at the receive frequency of any
repeater station.
Step 2. Verify the channel is removed from the selection/assignment process.

Field Acceptance Test Plan
Overview
There are many benefits and features offered in a Motorola Trunked radio system. This section
provides a functional description of each feature and provides a procedure for testing and
demonstration of these feature capabilities. This A TP includes key functional, hardware, and
coverage sections. Some of the follow test scripts will be done at the factory staging (CCSI). If
those tests are fully passed at CCSI then they will pass in the Field ATP without running the test.
This section is organized by system features. The setups for each test require different numbers
of subscribers and programming to exercise each feature's capability. For demonstration
purposes, the feature tests will use six subscriber units and programmed with at lest three
different Talkgroup/Failsoft assignments referenced A, B, and C. At lest two subscriber units
shall be programmed to monitor the systems individual RF channels in the conventional mode.
Ideally, the portables will be programmed per the system map if available however generic
Talkgroups will be used if the customer has not completed a Talkgroup plan.
TEST SCRIPTS
The following script sheets detail the test procedure to be used for each of the functions tested
during this Acceptance Test Plan. The same test may be performed multiple times on different
pieces of equipment however; once a specific piece of equipment has passed it will not be
repeated. These scripts will insure that the correct procedure is followed to guarantee consistent
results. Most of the feature tests are accomplished by simple observation.
The City of Miami Beach operations will be impacted during the installation, optimization, and
testing of the new system. A detailed MOP (Method Of Procedure) will be created to minimize
the disruptions to the current system. Because Motorola is continually improving upon the
system software and hardware, these test scripts at Motorola's discretion may require
modification to reflect the current product line. In the effort to minimize the operational impact
to the City of Miami Beach, the functional tests shall be preformed only once at the Motorola's
CCSI factory facility. Any functional test that cannot be successfully demonstrated at CCSI will
be done after permanent installation and optimization is completed. The hardware tests will be
done after permanent installation is completed. The coverage test will be done after permanent
installation and optimization is completed. If a test is not successful, Motorola will analyze and
remedy the problem then repeat only the section of the test that failed.

DESCRIPTION
The Radio System Infrastructure Configuration Management section of the SmartZone Manager
application sets the parameters for each of the system devices in the SmartZone system. Within
the Radio System Infrastructure section, the Zone Configuration Window enables the network
manager to tailor the general timeout and call parameters for each zone in the SmartZone system.
Configuration parameters such as Individual/Talkgroup Default Access Permission, Site-Wide
Enabled, and Site Access Denial Type can be manipulated from the Zone Configuration
Window. System and call timeout parameters such as Carrier, Message Trunk, Fade, Dispatch
Call, and Emergency Call can also be manipulated from the Zone Configuration Window.
SETUP
Select Talkgroup "A" (TGA) on both radios 1 and Console 1. Delete the database record for
radio 1 in both the Radio and Radio User Configuration Windows so that the SmartZone system
does not have any knowledge of radio 1. Set the "Individual Default Access Permission" flag to
NO in the Zone Configuration Window. Set the "Private Call Maximum Call Duration" to be 1
minute.
TEST INSTRUCTIONS.
Steps 1-4 test the Individual Default Access Permission flag.

DYNANnCREGROUPINGANDSTORMPLAN
DESCRIPTION
Dynamic Regrouping allows the SmartZone RCM to assign individual radios operating in
different Talkgroups to a temporary Talkgroup via the REGROUP command. Network managers
or supervisors can override individual radio Talkgroup selections by steering regrouped
subscribers to a new Talkgroup containing users, which need to communicate on a temporary
basis. After receiving a REGROUP command, a radio will ignore the current setting of the
Talkgroup selector and move to the target Talkgroup specified in the Regroup command. Unless
the supervisor issues a LOCK command, the radio user can deselect the target Talkgroup by
selecting another Talkgroup using the radio selector. A unique location on the radio selector is
reserved for the target Talkgroup following a REGROUP command. Dynamic Regrouping
assignments can be initiated rapidly, but not instantaneously. Regrouping is best suited for
planned activities or occasional changes from normal routines. It is not intended for immediate
emergency responses such as high-speed chases or for rapid deployments on a per incident basis.
Regrouped radios receiving a second Regroup command will move to the new target Talkgroup
specified in the second command. When a regrouped radio receives a REGROUP command, all
information pertaining to the previous REGROUP command is lost. An XREGROUP command
returns an individual radio to its normal operation. Storm Plans represent any number of
preprogrammed Dynamic Regrouping combinations constructed in advance to anticipate a
unique need, such as a disaster, or to make a needed adjustment for an infrequent yet repeated
event, like a parade or election. When implemented, a Storm Plan will automatically construct a
new Talkgroup, containing the radios specified by the stored Dynamic Regrouping command.
Storm Plans are deactivated with the XSTORM command.

RADIO CHECK
DESCRIPTION
Radio Check is a SmartZone RCM command used to verify that a radio is active in the Trunking
system. The Radio Check command causes the Zone Controller to poll for the radio to see if it is
in the Trunking system, checking the last site at which the radio affiliated. When a radio re-
affiliates, the RCM then has the knowledge that the radio is powered on and within system range.
If the radio is involved in a conversation, whether group or interconnect, the RCM application
displays a message to that effect. The information displayed by the RCM in response to the
Radio Check command is: current Talkgroup "A" affiliation, the Multigroup that the Talkgroup
is attached to (assuming the Talkgroup belongs to a Multigroup), and the site where the radio is
affiliated. If the radio does not respond to the Radio Check command, a message to that effect
displays.

SMARTZONE FAILSOFT VIA SMARTZONE MANAGER
DESCRIPTION
Failure of all control channels, failure of all voice channels, or failure of the subsystem or site
controller will cause a SmartZone subsystem to enter Failsoft operations. SmartZone subscribers
can be programmed to operate in Failsoft by Talkgroup; to search its list of control channel
frequencies in Failsoft; or to disable Failsoft altogether. When a system enters Failsoft, a radio
programmed for Failsoft by Talkgroup will first look for a specific Failsoft channel dictated by
the selected Talkgroup. Since many SmartZone systems have different frequencies across sites, if
a SmartZone radio is unable to find the Talkgroup's Failsoft channel the radio will instead
operate in the control channel search Failsoft mode. A radio programmed or needing to search
control channels for Failsoft frequencies will lock onto the lowest frequency control channel at
the site.
Notes: SmartZone radios should not be site locked when in Failsoft mode as the radio will not
check the full list of 32 control channels programmed into the radio's code plug. All radios
should be programmed to have the same sequence of control channel frequencies.
SETUP
Ensure that the radios are all affiliated to the same SmartZone site. Program radio 1 for Failsoft
operation by Talkgroup.
TEST INSTRUCTIONS.
1. Using the SmartZone Manager put the system into Failsoft mode. Radios operate
according to their Failsoft programming scheme (Failsoft by Talkgroup, Failsoft by
personality, or Failsoft disabled).
2. Initiate a Talkgroup call from radio 1 while in Failsoft mode. · Radio 1 emits a Failsoft
tone approximately once every ten seconds. Radio 1 operates on the correct Failsoft
channel for its selected Talkgroup (TGA).
3. Disable the Failsoft channel associated with TGA (determined in radio l's
programming). Radio 1 searches its control channel list for a suitable Failsoft channel
since the original TGA channel has been disabled.

RECEIVER INTERFERENCE SHUTDOWN
DESCRIPTION
Receiver interference occurs when a repeater receives an unauthorized signal. In order to prevent
a disruption of communications, the central controller will remove the affected channel from the
Trunked system selection/assignment process when it detects an undesired carrier for longer than
the specified time-out period. Once the interfering carrier disappears, the channel is eventually
returned to service (10 sec to 5 minutes).
TEST INSTRUCTIONS
1. Using a service monitor, transmit a 1 kHz tone at the receive frequency of any repeater
station.
2. Central controller removes the channel from service per the carrier malfunction time
parameter default.
3. Continue to transmit the 1 kHz tone until the controller removes the channel from service
(timer is configurableat the Site level through the Carrier Malfunction Time parameter).
4. At the SmartZone Manager terIilinal, channel malfunction due to interfering carrier is
indicated on the Current Alerts screen.
5. Remove the interfering signal. Channel is returned to service within approximately five
minutes and the SmartZone Manager indicates that the channel is now enabled.

ALARM PROCESSING
DESCRIPTION
This segment of the test verifies that the bi-state site alarms are processed and communicated to
the Front End Processor (PEP) and the Graphic Workstation. The alarms can originate from a
device with "hard wired" physical dry contact interfacing or from a device connected to the
MOSCAD CPU by means of an RS232 interface. This verification should be done for some
(typically 3 or 4) alarms to insure that all the processing is performed as expected. The
following check list is a walk thru of the alarm processing sequence:
TEST INSTRUCTIONS
1. Create an alarm condition by simulating an alarm on a device in the system or
shorting/opening a status input to any MOSCAD status input module in the system.
2. Navigate to the lowest level screen that depicts the highest degree of alarm detail.
3. Verify that the "state" text for the associated alarm on the Graphic Workstation is
blinking red and that the "state" text displayed is for the correct alarm point and site.
4. Verify that an audible indication is heard at the Graphic Workstation.
5 . Verify that the alarm indication is displayed on the event printer output.
6. Verify that the alarm displays in red text on the Alarm Summary window.
7. Click with the mouse on the "acknowledge" button. Verify that the audible indication is
silenced.
8. Verify that the text on the alarm summary window of the Graphic Workstation changes
from red to blue.
9 . Verify that the acknowledge event is recorded at the printer output.
10. Verify that the "state" text of the alarm on the graphic workstation remains red but stops
blinking.

LOCAL I/O PHYSICAL
The purpose of this section is to verify that the physical inputs and outputs that interface to the
MOSCAD I/O modules are properly processed by the MOSCAD system. Status inputs are
tested from the punch block termination interface. The status can be simulated by
shorting/opening the input to/from the MOSCAD ground reference or by creating the actual
condition with the actual device being monitored. Observing the response at the graphic
workstation makes the verification. For digital outputs (controls) the equipment under control
can be monitored for proper response to the control. If the equipment under control is not
available or if the controls are unused, the LED indicators on the MOSCAD digital output
modules can be monitored for prior response. The controls are initiated from the graphic
workstation. Analog inputs are verified by comparing readings on the graphic workstation to the
measured level using measuring devices such as watt meters or volt/current meters. The tables
below identify the I/O by type, function, and response for each location where physical I/O
exists.

CALL ALERT
DESCRIPTION
Call alert allows a dispatcher or radio user to selectively alert an individual so they know that
someone is trying to reach them. To initiate a Call Alert (Call Alert) the dispatcher or radio user
switches the radio to the Call Alert mode and selects the individual to be called.
Pushing the PTT switch sends the Call Alert. The Call Alert produces an audible and visual alert
(depending on the radio) on the receiving portable radio. The alert indicators stop when the Call
Alert receiver presses their PTT. Indicators on the initiating caller's radio automatically
acknowledge receipt of the alert by the alerted radio unit. All of this is accomplished through
signaling over the control channel and does not affect voice channel efficiency.
The receiving unit of a Call Alert will display and can store the calling party's ill. This is
achieved through the transmission of a dual word message, which identifies the caller and the
receiver. This allows the receiver to know who initiated the Call Alert.
Five different Call Alert programming alternatives are available for mobile and portable radios.
Decode only (can receive but cannot initiate a Call Alert)
Encode response (can call back the user that initiated the call)
Single encode (can Call Alert one predetermined radio only)
Multiple encode, (can Call Alert up to eight predetermined radios)
Unlimited (can Call Alert any other radio in the fleet which is Call Alert capable)
The dispatchers can Call Alert any Call Alert enabled radios. Call Alerts can also be sent from
SIMS or Trunked ill Processors.
TEST INSTRUCTIONS
1. Initiate a Call Alert from a console to any subscriber unit in the system.
2. Observe that only the radio being called receives a call alert tone, and that the sender's ill
is properly displayed.

BUSY QUEUING AND CALLBACK
DESCRIPTION
Although Trunked systems are considerably more efficient than a conventional system, there
may still be times when all of the voice channels are busy or when channels with special call
processing capabilities are busy. If a radio user transmits while all the system channels are in
use, he or she will hear a series of busy tones until a channel is assigned, or the PTT button is
released.
For convenience, any users requesting system access during a busy period will be put in a queue
on a FIFO (first in first out) basis. W~en a channel does become available, the system central
controller will notify the first user by calling him back. A talk permit tone heard on the
operators' radio alerting the user of the callback and holds the channel for approximately 2
seconds. This feature allows the radio user to put the microphone down in a busy situation and
wait for the callback instead of continually keying in an effort to gain channel access.
TEST INSTRUCTIONS
1. Disable all but one voice channel.
2. Press push-to-talk (PTT) of a subscriber unit from Talkgroup A and hold the PTT key.
This will capture the remaining voice channel in the system.
3. Key a radio from Talkgroup B, and then key a radio from Talkgroup C. Both radios will
receive a busy tone.
4. Release the PTT key of the Talkgroup A radio. The Talkgroup B radio should receive a
callback tone.
5. Release the PTT key of the Talkgroup B radio. The Talkgroup C radio should receive a
callback tone.

ANNOUNCEMENT GROUP CALL
DESCRIPTION
An announcement group call is the feature used to make a Multi-group call on SMAR TNET n
systems.
The announcement group call can be set up to work one of two ways. In one set up, the initiating
user must wait for the others in their announcement group engaged in conversation to de-key
their radios before the announcement group call can begin. Others in the group will get a busy
signal if they try to make a call after an announcement group call has been initiated but has not
yet been granted a channel. Calls initiated during this period will not be placed in a queue and
must be reinitiated after the announcement group call has ended. Those involved in telephone
interconnect calls are not affected by an announcement group call. Once they complete their
telephone call, they will automatically join the announcement group call.
The other set up for this type of call enables an interrupt type of call. When a user initiates a
Multi-group call, their call will immediately interrupt other conversations in progress without
waiting for other users to de-key. However, those radio users who are transmitting on a voice
channel will not hear the announcement group call until they de-key. They will then join the
announcement group call if it is still in progress. Everyone in an announcement group call is
Message Trunked, meaning all subscribers are able to respond to the announcement on the same
voice channel.
TEST INSTRUCTIONS
1. Program Talkgroup A and Talkgroup B to the same announcement call group and
Talkgroup C to a different announcement call group.
2. Initiate the announcement call from a Talkgroup A radio.
3. Observe that only Talkgroup A and B will receive the announcement call.

MULTIPLE PRIORITY LEVELS
DESCRIPTION
In addition to giving priority to recent users, Motorola Trunked systems provide multiple levels
of priority to allow system access to the most critical users during busy periods. Users and
groups may be assigned a particular priority level. In the event of a busy, channel requests are
processed according to priority on first come first served basis. The system manager via a
System Manager Terminal (SMT) or through SIMS can control assignment of priority levels if
equipped with the proper software option.
There are eight levels of priority on SMAR TNET IT system. An emergency call will always take
the highest priority on a SMAR TNET system.
TEST INSTRUCTIONS
1. Program the radios in Talkgroup C with priority level 7 and program the radios in
Talkgroup A and B with priority level 8.
2. Disable all but one voice channel.
3. Key a radio from Talkgroup A and hold the PTT key.
4. Key a radio from Talkgroup B then key a radio from Talkgroup C.
5. Release the PTT key from the Talkgroup "A" radio Talkgroup C should receive a
callback tone.

BACKUP CONTROL CHANNELS
DESCRIPTION
Anyone of the first four channels on a Trunked radio system is eligible for assignment as a
control channel. Control channel assignment rotates among these channels on a daily basis. In
the event that the control channel fails, the central controller automatically assigns one of the
other eligible channels as the active control channel.
TEST INSTRUCTIONS
1. Force channell to be the current control channel.
2. Disable channel one on the front panel of the central controller.
3. Now the central controller should indicate that channel two is the current control channel.
4. Repeat step 2 for channels two and three.
5. By this time, the central controller should indicate that channel four is the current control
channel

3. The OSW (Outbound Signaling Word) must be +-0.8 KHz, +-0.1 KHz.
4. Apply an on frequency, FM carrier, modulated by a 1KHz tone, deviated at 3.3KHz, into
the receiver. The transmit deviation must be 4.1 KHz, +-0.1 KHz.
5. Send an Alert 1 tone from a console operator position, 1200 Hz tone at -10dBm into the
transmitter-input line. The deviation must be 4.1 KHz, +-0.1 KHz.
6. Place the repeater into the Trunked mode by re-connecting the control cable. Key the
station with a Local PTT on the DMP. Check the maximum trunk deviation for 5.0 KHz
+-0.1 KHz.
7. Restore the station for normal operation.
8. Engage the repeater in a digital voice call and check the digital deviation for +-3.6KHz +-
0.1 KHz
9. Repeat test for all repeaters.

SIMULCAST TRUNKING SYSTEM
QUANTAR DIGITAL TRUNKED REPEATER
RECEIVER SENSITIVITY
Each receiver will have its absolute and effective sensitivity measured. Additionally, the receiver
sensitivity will be bench marked using the TMP Test Port.
Note: These tests are to be performed after the tower mounted preamplifier-multicoupler systems
have been optimized per manufacturers recommendations. Typically this requires installation
and/or adjustment offixed or variable attenuators in order to optimize the 1M performance of the
TMP system without impairing TMP system noise figure.
SPECIFICATION:
12dB SINAD with -117dbm (O.3uV) of signal or less
TEST INSTRUCTIONS
1. Connect a RF generator, set to the channel's frequency, to the Repeater receiver input
port and connect the receiver output to the SINAD meter input.
2. Check the receiver for a 12 dB SINAD sensitivity of -1 17dbm (O.3uV) or better and
record the results on the "12 dB SINAD Absolute Receiver Sensitivity Test Sheet."
3. Note the RF level required to obtain a 20db SINAD and enter the results on the "Receiver
Effective Sensitivity Test Sheet." This is the "Absolute Receiver Sensitivity" reading.
4. Connect an insolated TEE at the station receiver port terminated into a RF load.
5. Connect a RF signal generator to the isolated port.
6. Note the RF level required to obtain a 20db SINAD and enter the results on the "Receiver
Effective Sensitivity Test Sheet." This relative reading will be dependent on the loss of
the isolation TEE. This is the "Rx Sensitivity, Isolation Tee at Station terminated to a
local RF load" reading.
7. Remove the RF load and connect the insolated TEE to the normal Multicoupler port.
8. Switch the TMP into the TMP RF load. Note the RF level required to obtain a 20db
SINAD and enter the results on the "Receiver Effective Sensitivity Test Sheet." The
reading will be dependent on the loss of the isolation TEE and the noise from the antenna

TMP/Multicoupler network. This is the "Rx Sensitivity, Isolation Tee at Station
terminated to Multicoupler port, TMP RF load engaged" reading.
9. Enter the difference in dB of the "Rx Sensitivity, Isolation Tee at Station terminated to a
local RF load" and the "Rx Sensitivity, Isolation Tee at Station terminated to
Multicoupler port, TMP RF load engaged" readings in the indicated space.
10. Switch the TMP into the Antenna. Note the RF level required to obtain a 20db SINAD
and enter the results on the "Receiver Effective Sensitivity Test Sheet." The reading will
be dependent on the loss of the isolation TEE, the noise from the antenna
TMP/Multicoupler network, and external noise sources. This is the "Rx Sensitivity,
Isolation Tee at Station terminated Multicoupler port, antenna engaged" reading.
11. Enter the difference in dB of the "Rx Sensitivity, Isolation Tee at Station terminated to a
local RF load" and the "Rx Sensitivity, Isolation Tee at Station terminated to
Multicoupler port, antenna engaged" readings in the indicated space.
12. Repeat for remaining receivers.
13. Restore all normal receiver RF terminations to the Multicoupler ports.
14. Connect the signal generator to the TMP Test Port and engage the TMP RF load. Note
the RF level required to obtain a 20dB SINAD reading on each receiver and enter the
results on the "Receiver TMP/Multicoupler Effective Sensitivity Test Sheet." This is the
"Receiver Sensitivity using TMP Test Port, TMP RF load engaged" reading.
15. Engage the antenna to the TMP and note the RF level required to obtain a 20dB SINAD
reading on each receiver and enter the results on "Receiver TMP/Multicoupler Effective
Sensitivity Test Sheet." This is the "Receiver Sensitivity using TMP Test Port, Antenna
engaged" reading.
16. Calculate the difference between the receiver sensitivity reading with TMP RF load
engaged and the receiver sensitivity with the antenna engaged. This is the site receiver
degradation figure. Ideally it should be O.OdB. Readings other than O.OdB generally
indicate an outside source of interference and shall not be viewed as an equipment fault
or a failing of this section of the A TP. Motorola will make a reasonable effort to locate
and resolve degradation or present a plan to resolve or minimize the source of the
interference.

OPERATOR POSITION FUNCTIONS
INTRODUCTION
To insure that all equipment is functional requires that detailed test scenarios be executed and the
results tabulated. The results of these tests will become part of the final system documentation to
be delivered upon project completion.
Factory acceptance tests are those functional tests performed on new equipment delivered from
Motorola's factories.
All acceptance tests will be conducted by Motorola personnel and witnessed by at least one (1)
representative of the City of Miami Beach. Motorola may request the assistance of customer
personnel for some tests.
As all console operator positions are identical, City of Miami Beach may elect to perform these
acceptance tests on a sampling of the available consoles. Tests, which have passed on the
sampled consoles, will be considered to have passed and accepted for all consoles.
The failure of a test shall not require the re-running of the entire Factory Acceptance Test. Any
failures noted will be entered on a "Punch List". Motorola will re-run any failed test following
resolution of the problem.

3.4 Radio Communications Coverage
3.4.1 Coverage Reliability
The Proposer shall supply coverage maps to depict 97 percent area coverage for the
locations enclosed within the predicted coverage contour for portable and mobile radio
coverage.
Coverage maps shall be provided for mobile and portable configurations. For the
purpose of coverage performance testing, the worst case of the portable in-building talk
out or talk back configuration shall be confirmed. The Contractor and the City shall
mutually agree on the performance depicted in the coverage prediction.
3.4.2 Received Signal and Circuit Merit
The Contractor must account for the users being in dynamic situations and adjust their
prediction to provide for DAQ 3.4 performance in a moving faded environment using
TIAlEIA TSB-88 methodology. DAQ 3.4 level audio quality in a faded environment
requires more signal than in a stationary condition. Below is the TIA TSB-88 standard
DAQ audio chart:
LEVEL Description (TIA- TSB88) SINAD equivalence
(TIA TSB-88)
DAQ-1 Unusable, speech present but Less than 8 dB
unreadable.
DAQ-2 Understandable with considerable 12+/-4dB
effort. Frequent repetition due to
noise/distortion.
DAQ-3 Speech understandable with slight 17 +/- 5 dB
effort. Occasional repetition required
due to noise/distortion.
DAQ-3.4 Speech understandable with repetition 20 +/- 5 dB
only rarely required. Some
noise/distortion.
DAQ-4 Speech easily understood. Occasional 25 +/- 5dB

aggregates signal strength (signal to noise) and simulcast delay spread throughout the
complete predicted coverage area. All areas within the predicted coverage contour are
to be analyzed for the combined effect of signal strength and simulcast delay spread
from all simulcast transmitters in the system. Any area that exhibits an aggregate of
signal strength and delay spread that falls below that required for audio circuit merit and
reliability shall be identified in the coverage predictions and noted as an area of less than
acceptable performance.

3.4.7 Mobile Radio Configuration
The coverage maps included for mobile radios are to show the coverage predicted for a
35 watt mobile radio unit. This prediction shall be based on the mobile radio being
installed in standard automobiles that are approximately five feet in height. For
purposes of modeling coverage, the mobile antenna should be mounted on the roof of
the vehicle.
3.4.8 Portable Radio Configuration
Portable antenna performance can vary widely depending on the type of antenna used
and the location of the portable antenna on the user's body. The coverage maps
included for portable radios must show the coverage predicted for a 3 watt portable unit
using a 1/2-wave flexible whip antenna at hip level and a 3 watt portable unit using a
public safety speaker microphone antenna. Base to portable talk out coverage shall be
analyzed with the portable unit at hip level using the 1/2-wave flexible whip. Portable to
base talk back coverage is analyzed with a public safety speaker microphone antenna.
3.4.9 Inside Building and On-Street Coverage
The City of Miami Beach digital simulcast system shall be guaranteed to provide an 18
dB margin to meet the minimum reauirements of heavy building coverage.
Building Type Definition:
Heavy:
Large downtown building, large commercial building, condominium, hotel.
or large enclosed shopping mall (four stories or more). Loss is typically 18
dB or more.
Medium:
Small to medium size stores, small apartment buildings, or a small to
medium size factory or office buildings (less than four stories). Loss is
typically 11 dB or more.
Light:
Residential buildings (one and two story houses) and other small
commercial buildings. Loss is typically 6 dB or more.
3.4.10 Coverage In Specific Buildings
Except as specifically noted, the coverage prediction for "in building" locations need not
include locations such as elevators, basements below ground level, tunnels, bank vaults,
and other locations shielded by metal walls or with heavy construction and with no
windows or doors. Since building loss can vary significantly depending on the
construction of the building, the coverage maps need not predict coverage within any

specific wilding. If coverage is needed in a specific building, then a field survey will be
conducted.
The City has specifically addressed, in the SOW, coverage requirements for several
buildings. These buildings are:
A. Mt Sinai Hospital (provide BOA as necessary).
B. South Shore Hospital (provide BOA as necessary).
C. Police Headquarters, 1100 Washington Ave (provide BOA as necessary).
O. Fountainbleu Hilton Hotel (verification only).
With the three-site simulcast system, the Contractor shall guarantee coverage into the
specific buildings listed above, with the exception of Fountenbleu Hotel, where
verification of a hotel-owned internal BOA system performance will be performed at no
risk to the Contractor.
In each of these structures, the testers shall test only in the ground level floors and
emergency room locations unless otherwise stated. A minimum of 25 tests shall be
performed in random locations throughout each structure.
A passing score will be 97 percent. If a structure fails any tests during the initial minimum
of 25 test locations, the test regimen shall be increased to 100 locations. A passing
score will be 97/100 locations.
3.4.11 Coverage Acceptance Test Plan
This Coverage Acceptance Test plan is designed to demonstrate that the RF coverage
for units proposed to the C~y will meet the reliability requirement as agreed to by the City
and the Contractor. A quantitative method of measurement will be used which involves
the use of a calibrated test receiver, analog to digital converter, a portable computer, and
a Global Positioning System (GPS) receiver. The GPS receiver will be used to
determine the latitude, longitude, and speed of the test vehicle. The computer will be
loaded with a mapping database that includes local streets, rivers, railroads, and other
features. The computer will save the measured data for each grid that has been
defined.
This test will be used to evaluate coverage provided by the proposed system for units in
the following configurations:
A. Base to portable talk out to a unit with flex antenna at hip level inside 18 dB
buildings.
RCC Consultants, Inc.
3-12
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH-800 MHzSVSTEM- STATEMENT OF WORK
The automated test shall simulate the conditions above through the use of the
adjusted ATP target level in the table below.
B. Portable to base talk in from a unit with a public safety speaker mic. antenna.
The Contractor shall p-ovide a report based upon extrapolation of the collected
data to simulate the conditions of portable talk back. If known conditions of
outside interference to fixed receivers exist, they shall be indicated in the report
for discussion with the City. The Effects of such interference shall be reported,
but will not be considered for the evaluation score.
The system shall be tested in the IMBE dioital mode of operation.
The acceptance criteria will be based on the demonstration that a signal equivalent to .
CAQ 3.4 is available at an digital receiver input. This portion of the test will determine
the RF signal levels within City. Uniformly distributed grids will be evaluated over the
coverage areas described above. Ninety-seven percent of the grids tested must yield
the required A TP target signal level. (See calculation of A TP Target for inside 18 dB
buildings, in the following tables.)
Configurations outlined above will be evaluated based upon reference field intensity
measurements acquired by the calibrated measurement equipment. The test set shall
be based on a calibrated test receiver inside a vehicle with a 1/4-wave antenna mounted
on the outside center of the roof of the vehicle. During the field test, the automobile will
travel to each of the test locations. At each location, outbound signal level
measurements will be captured by the calibrated measurement equipment and these
measurements will be used as reference levels upon which all other levels will be
determined. During the analysis phase, the value for each configuration will be obtained
through extrapolation to compensate for any system gain differences between the test
equipment and each of the configurations to be evaluated.
Raw test data shall be provided to the City for independent analysis by the City's
consultant. The raw test data shall contain the following:
A Longitude and latitude of each test grid.
B. Raw data string of all RF signal samples or mean RF signal level and standard
deviation corresponding to each test grid.
The file format may either be a text (.txt) , (.xls), or other format importable into an

3.4.12 Coverage Testing Methodology
A This test will be an RF signal strength measurement test using a calibrated
mobile receiver to measure raw outbound signal from the simulcast base
stations.
B. Computers provided by the Contractor in the automobile will be used to gather
signal strength data.
C. The City will provide the vehicles used for the test.
D. An antenna will be connected to the antenna port of a calibrated Contractor-
supplied test receiver monitoring the transmission from a repeater at each base
station radio site. The antenna will be mounted on the outside center of the
automobile roof. An analog to digital converter device will be connected between
the signal strength indicator port of the mobile and the computer. A computer
program will manage each gathering session and store the collected data on
disks for later analysis. Following the completion of each day's test session, a
digital copy of the drive test data shall be provided to the City or its consultant.
E. A quasi-random method of selecting evenly and uniformly distributed test
locations will be used. The indicated required coverage areas will be divided into
evenly distributed grids. The computer will display the grid structure as
described, and overlay it on the screen on top of a base map showing the roads.
The computer will provide a visual indication that data has been collected in a
grid.
F. Signal strength at each location will be determined by taking 500 evenly timed
data measured over a distance of 40 wavelengths. The average of these
measurements will be computed to determine a signal level representative of the
test location. An average of multiple samples is used rather than a single
measurement to ensure that the measurement is not biased by taking a single
sample that might be at a peak or null point on the radio wave. The resulting
average will be referred to as the "Reference Grid Level."
G. The "ATP Target Reference Level" will be used, and through extrapolation,
receive signal levels will be determined for each of the test configurations. For a
particular configuration, if the receive signal level is equal to or greater than the
ATP Target Reference Level, then the grid for that configuration will be declared
passed. If the extrapolated receive signal level is worse than the ATP Target
Reference Level then the grid for that configuration will be declared failed. If 97
percent of the grids are determined to be passed grids for a particular
configuration, the coverage for that configuration will be declared passed. The
successful passing of each of the configurations will constitute the criteria for RF
signal strength coverage acceptance.

3.4.13 Prerequisites and Preparation
One automobile and driver supplied by the City will be utilized for this test. The
Contractor will provide the calibrated measurement equipment for the test. The
Contractor will conduct the testing procedures. A representative for the City will
accompany the test team, and the team members will be determined by the City prior to
the testing.
3.4.14 Analyzing Data and Report Generation
During the field test, a computer file is generated which includes the signal level
averages for each test location. This data will be placed in a computer spreadsheet
during the analysis phase and summaries will be computed for each of the test
configurations.
A report outlining the test and test results will be submitted to the City. The time frame
for the report submission will be agreed to by City and the Contractor.
The successful completion of the automated coverage test will demonstrate sufficient
signal strength to provide 18 dB building coverage throughout 97 percent of the area
within the City.
3.4.15 Manual Delivered Audio Quality (DAQ) Test
It is generally accepted that digital audio quality is affected by a number of factors. The
most significant are the signal strength and channel bit error rate (BER). While the
automated test oould measure BER in an automated method, it would be necessary to
attenuate all of the system margin in the mobile test package. However, this still would
not accurately portray the real operating environment. Therefore, a manual DAQ test will
be performed.
Separate manual portable radio talk out and talk back tests shall be conducted for
selected indoor locations within the City coverage area. The portable radio with speaker-
microphone-antenna (SMA) worn on the lapel shall be tested for talk in (portable b
base) and a portable at hip level shall be tested for talk out (base to portable).
The methodology of the delivered audio quality tests will be based upon the TIA T5888
subjective descriptions. A two-way test message will be transmitted at each test location
and recorded by each listener. During the tabulation, the messages will be checked for
accuracy. Successful transmission of the test message will be the sole evaluation
criterion for the manual DAQ test.
Successful completion of the manual DAQ test will demonstrate the proper operation of
the digital simulcast system with respect to RF faded signal thresholds and bit error
tolerance.
RCC Consultants, Inc.

CITY OF MIAMI BEACH-800 MHzSVSTEM- STATEMENT OF WORK
Buildings in each grid will be tested through the transmission of a standardized test
message. Buildings failing the test will be later evaluated to determine the building loss
by measurement of the available signal strength outside of the building and comparing it
to the signal strength measured within the building. A building which fails the DAQ 3.4
test shall be included in the test scoring if the building loss is found to be 18 dB or less.
A building which fails the DAQ 3.4 test shall be excluded from the test scoring if the
building loss is found to be qreater than 18 dB. In this case, the City may select an
alternative building in the same grid for later testing, as the initially selected building
demonstrates a loss of more than 18 dB.
Building losses will be established by measuring the signal outside a building and a
signal measured inside a building. Measurements outside buildings will be gathered by
placing the automated measuring equipment on a cart or using a handheld signal
strength measuring device. The measurement will be along at least three sides of the
building being tested (as far as practical limits allow). The mean of these signal
measurements will establish the outside signal level. The measurement will then be
moved inside the building. At locations where the voice quality test fails, the signal will
be measured at that point b obtain the in-building signal strength for that specific test
point.

averaqe of the two hiqhest readinqs.
3.4.16 Coverage Performance Guarantee
The Contractor shall guarantee RF coverage performance in accordance with the
requirements of this document. A minimum of 97 percent of the test locations shall
provide a voice quality of DAQ 3.4 or better as determined by the test methodology set
forth in this document. If the RF coverage performance of the simulcast trunked radio
system supplied by the Contractor fails to meet the coverage requirements stated in this
document, the Contractor shall modify or otherwise cause the system(s) to meet the
minimum requirements of this document at no cost (direct or indirect) to the City. If
corrections to the system are required, all coverage tests will be repeated as necessary
for any portion of the system determined by the City to have potentially been impacted
by the correction work done by the Contractor. The City retains the option to require that
all coverage tests be repeated in the event that the simulcast system requires
modification or repairs during the conduct of any testing.

3.4.17 Test Location
A statistically significant number of buildings shall be randomly chosen as test locations
within the grids of the City coverage area. If buildings do not exist within the grid, then
the test shall be conducted from inside of a passenger vehicle and duly noted.
Tests will be conducted within typical buildings having 18 dB or less building loss.
These are described as heavy density or large type structures.
As described previously, random building locations which demonstrate greater than 18
dB building loss will be excluded as test points if the building fails but will be retained as
part of the test results if the building passes.
Test locations within buildings will be selected by the field tester and will fairly simulate
locations typically encountered by public safety personnel. By way of example, but not
of limitation, tests in apartment complexes will be conducted in the hallways or stairwells
of said complexes. No attempt will be made to seek out unusually high-density areas
within buildings such as boiler rooms or underground parking areas.
One test location will be selected within each random building. The location will be on
the ground level of the building.
Talk in testing will be conducted with the use of a shoulder or lapel microphone with an
integral antenna (SMA type) mounted at shoulder level on the exterior of all clothing.
The shoulder/lapel microphone and antenna will be connected directly to a portable
radio that will be mounted in a belt holster. Additionally a portable with a flex whip
antenna will be mounted at hip level for talk out testing.

2. Call acknowledgment.
3. In-bound message.
4. Out-bound message.
5. Sign off.
B. The test message will contain the following information:
Rec Consultants, Inc.
3-19
CITY OF MIAMI BEACH -800 MHz SYSTEM - STATEMENT OF WORK
1. The inbound test message will consist of the words "Test Number"
concatenated with the following information:
a. Grid number.
b. Decimal point followed by test point within that grid.
c. Five randomly generated two-digit numbers.
As examples: "Test Number 345.1, 12, 42, 57, 14, 88" is the first attempt
test conducted for the first location in Grid 345; and "Test Number 345.2,
13, 45, 58, 17, 89" is the second test attempt conducted for the first
location in Grid 345.
C. The outbound test message will consist solely of five randomly generated two-
digit numbers.
D. Random numbers will be generated by a computer for each district and
submitted to testers and dispatchers immediately before each test day. Neither
field testers nor dispatchers will have any knowledge of the other's random test
number sequences prior to the test.
E. The tester will sign off with "10-4"
F. If the test message is not clearly received by either the dispatcher or the tester,
the test sequence shall be repeated once more; with the tester allowed to move
the radio antenna from one side of their body to the other, without changing their
location. This shall be tagged on the score sheet as a second attempt. If this
second attempt is a pass, the test point passes.
G. If human error or distraction causes a transmission to be missed, the test
sequence will be repeated and a notation will be made in the score sheet.
H. The test cycle is complete.
After each day's test session, the original test forms will be delivered to the City's Project
Manager. Copies will be made for the City and the Contractor for immediate review.
After all test cycles are completed, the standardized test forms will be tabulated and
scored. A completed test cycle must contain the exact random test messages, correlated
with the test grid number, to be considered a pass. DAQ 3.4 will be achieved by the
reception of the exact random test messages by both the console operator and teste r.
Testing will be conducted at a statistically significant number of grid locations (one point
per grid) within the City coverage area.

a) DAQ test messaqe (SOW 3.4.18): Prior to the start of the DAQ test. Motorola and
the City of Miami Beach will revise the randomly qenerated two-diqit numbers of
the test messaqes and analyze them to see if any of these numbers fall under a

new randomly qenerated pairs. If some pairs escape durinq the test messaqe
preparation phase, the confusion will be corrected durinq the scorinq, provided
the error is obvious and it is the sole cause of the test sequence failure.
b) Limited time for DAQ test (SOW 3.4.18): The DAQ test will be limited to a 3D-day
period includinq the preparation and analysis phases. Exclusions to this limitation
will be reasonable hardships such as: acts of God (war, flood, fire), extreme
weather conditions (hurricanes); or communication system failures that impede to
continue with the testinq.
c) Motorola is willinq to accommodate durinq the DAQ testinq phase the removal of

Re: In-Building Voice Quality Test
As per our conversations, I have reviewed the data you gave me. Examination of the 107
number pairs failures provided to me suggested some apparent errors throughout the test
sequence. I can not detennine if the errors are statistically significant (nor am I qualified
to do so), however., there were definite patterns to the errors. The numbers were
compared within and between number pairs. When the test numbers read were compared
against the test numbers heard, 59 of the 107 number pairs fell into one of three
categories:
I. The numbers 50 - 59 vs. the numbers 60 ~9 (Le. 53/63).
II. Numbers ending in "ty'" vs. "teen" (i.e. 60/16).

The majority of the errors in this category are simply a result of a part oithe number
being omitted (usually the last digit). It is common for individuals to lower their voice at
the end of a phrase. It is possibly this effect that is the reason for so many errors in this
category. It is also possible that the transmission was clipped due [0 the operator
releasing the transmit button before the phrase is completed. This would only effect the
last number in the series., however; it is unknown where the errors occurred in the number
senes.
There are many factors that influence a listener's perception of words, especially
numerical combinations. These factors can include dialectal variations, speaking rate,
hearing acuity, operator error, and the degradation of a signal due to a standard audio
(radio, telephone, etc.) transmission. Number sequences are commonly misheard due to
the high frequency component (i.e. Isf, If!, lvi, lxi, It!) in the spoken numerals. A simple
way to reduce the number of errors would be to have the speakers use single digits to
represent the number combinations ("2" "4" to represent the number 24). The use of
single digits will provide less opportunity for error and single spoken digits, in general,
are composed of lower frequency components (more vowels), resulting in improved
comprehension.
If you have any questions or comments about this report, please do not hesitate to give
me a call. .

CIlYOF MIAMI BEACH~OO MHzSVSTEM- STATEMENT OF WoRK
3.4.19 Thirty-Day Test Plan
3.4.19.1 Purpose
This definition of the thirty-day test plan will serve to clarify the conditions required to
verify the performance of the City's simulcast radio system over an extended period, as
required by the SOW.
3.4.19.2 General
The City, upon successful completion of the prescribed performance test period, shall
accept the performance of the system. A period of 30 calendar days of successful
operation following installation and performance verification of the fixed equipment shall
constitute a successful performance test period. Prior testing required by the contract,
including system-staging tests and fIXed equipment site tests previously witnessed and
approved by the City, shall be incorporated into this document.
The beginning of this performance period EhalltJe defined as the time '..men the sy&tem's
electFi~1 aAd operational features testing has been completed, the system t:aas been
approved by the Contractor for the City's Beneficial use, and 76 per-rom of too start UDon
successful completion of the installation and optimization of the system; optimization and
oerformance verifications are successfullv comDleted and the diaital subscriber units are
iA- ready for use. The Contractor shall submit a letter to the City signifying that the
system is ready for test.
During the 3D-day performance period, the City shall utilize the radio system for its
intended purpose as much as possible, and shall test all operational modes and
equipment configurations to ensure that all features operate properly, and that all system
anomalies have been identified.
For the purposes of this Performance Test, the entire radio system shall consist of: the
simulcast trunking subsystem including the Police console dispatch subsystem, Fire
console dispatch subsystem, system management subsystem, Network Monitoring and
Alarm Reporting subsystem, and the multiplexer subsystem.
To meet the standards for acceptance, the system shall operate without any major failure
of equipment or equipment function which results in the inability of the overall system to
perform as specified. However, any minor failures that are normally encountered during
the operation of such a complex radio system shall not constitute a failure in achieving
successful operation.
A minor failure shall not interrupt the 30-day performance window.

CITY OF MIAMI BEACH -800 MHz SYSTEM - STATEMENT OF WoRK
Any deficiencies noted during this test period shall be identified in writing to the
Contractor and these deficiencies corrected by the CCJltractor in accordance with the
maintenance response requirements stated in the contract
The City's designated representative shall witness the performance period, and shall
keep a detailed punch list of suspected system deficiencies. Within 14 business days
following completion of the performance test, the City representative shall submit this
punch list to the Contractor for analysis and prioritization of any corrections required.
A major failure of any subsystem shall cause the 3D-day test period for that subsystem
alone to be suspended until repairs have been made. Upon repair of the subsystem, the
3D-day performance test will restart and must run for an additional 30 consecutive days
without a major failure. Any subsystem which successfully completes the 3O-day
performance phase shall be designated "Passed" and shall not be subject to re-testing.
When all subsystems have successfully passed the testing, the entire hardware system
shall be declared accepted, subject to correction of punch list items roted during the
testing phase.
3.4.19.3 Service Support
The City requires 24-hour maintenance of fixed system components for the duration of
this test.
The City shall contact the Contractor's designated local service facility to report any
system outage or deficiency.
3.4.19.4 Classification of Failures
To more clearly define the impact that equipment failures may have on overall system
functionality, a description of the classifications of failures should be noted. These have
been defined below.
