MOTOCONTROL

Use supported repeater connectivity to link the panel with the deployed radio system. Confirm the repeater model, firmware, network mode and available interfaces as part of configuration.

• Identify the repeaters serving the site
• Map the resources available to dispatch
• Validate access and connection behaviour
• Confirm repeater model, firmware version and supported network interfaces before commissioning
• Show connection state clearly, including connected, degraded, unavailable and reconnecting conditions
• Verify that the configured network mode matches the deployed radio infrastructure
• Test communication through representative field radios before operational handover
• Confirm that dispatch traffic reaches the intended repeater and associated resources
• Validate inbound and outbound communication paths separately

Where the deployment uses a mobile radio as its connection point, MOTOCONTROL connects through that station to reach the radio network. The available controls depend on the device and supported interface.

• Define the station and its assigned resources
• Confirm the connection and audio requirements
• Test the operator workflow with field radios
• Verify the exact mobile-radio model, firmware and interface supported by the deployment
• Confirm which channels, talkgroups and field resources are reachable through the control station
• Keep the control-station identity and current connection state visible to operators
• Show whether the station is available, busy, degraded, disconnected or reconnecting
• Confirm that transmitted audio reaches the intended radio resources
• Validate received audio from representative field radios before commissioning

Bring dispatch activity and available radio resources into the same working view. Use the configured connection to coordinate the next step with field teams.

• Show active radio resources, talkgroups, units, and dispatch status in one operational view
• Keep resource names aligned with the terminology already used by the control room and field teams
• Distinguish available, busy, unreachable, and temporarily disconnected resources
• Make current communication paths visible so operators can see which systems and channels are active
• Confirm which radio or talkgroup is associated with each field team before operational use
• Allow dispatchers to move quickly from an incident or task to the relevant communication resource

Bring the supported devices and connections into the panel so operators can understand which resources are available. Device-specific management functions are confirmed against the deployed hardware and interface.

• Group devices by site, operational area, or responsibility so operators can quickly understand the deployed environment
• Display connection state clearly, including available, degraded, disconnected, or unknown conditions
• Show the most recent successful communication or status update for each configured device
• Preserve the relationship between a connection and the radios, talkgroups, or site resources it serves
• Confirm device identity, model, firmware, and interface capability during commissioning

The supplied interface brings location information and radio identity into the same view. Confirm the supported location service, device configuration and update behaviour for the site.

• Make the age of the latest location update immediately visible to the operator
• Distinguish current, delayed, stale, unavailable, and unknown location states
• Confirm which location service is enabled for each supported radio or device
• Verify that the deployed hardware and firmware support the expected location behaviour
• Track whether location updates arrive on request, on a schedule, or when movement occurs
• Show when a location request has been sent and whether a response was received
• Prevent old coordinates from being presented as if they were live
• Preserve the last known position while clearly marking its age and confidence
