4. Introducing the DDC100 • Digital Desktop Controller for use with the M7100 series Desktop or Wall Mount Stations. • Provides complete control of the radio. • Up to 25 DDC100 controllers may be connected • Maximum distance between any controller and the radio is 2000 feet. • Conventional, EDACS, and P25 operation

5. Block Diagram of DDC100 System • DDC100 Desktop Controller permits extending the operation and control of the mobile radio mounted in the desktop or wall-mount. • DDC100s behave as a separate control unit of the radio. • The radio is configured as dual control.

6. Control Station • The DDC100 is used to remotely control the mobile radio in a control station configuration. • The control station may be a Desktop or Wall Mount configuration. • Desktop station can be controlled locally or remotely. • For remote control with the DDC100 the radio is configured for dual control. • Position the Intercom switch to normal. Ignore the operation of the switch when using DDC100s. • Wall mounted metal cabinet containing the mobile radio. • No user interface at the wall mount station.

7. * DUAL* 12:31 Dual Control Operation • If the Desktop station control unit has control of the radio, *DUAL* will be shown on Line 1 of the display of all DDC100s. • To take control, press and release a PTT key on any DDC100. The radio control unit will then display *DUAL* and the DDC100s will display the selected system and group.

8. DDC100 Advantages • Extended local controller for Desktop Station. • When system signal cannot reach operator • Vaults, sub-basements, large office buildings • Allows multiple operators to use the same Desktop Station. • Easy, occasional access to radio • Reduced overall cost • Simple Desktop interface • Small footprint • Telephone-like unit • Easy to use

9. SYSTEM GROUP 12:31 Key Features • Features • All Radio front panel controls and indicators duplicated on Desktop Controller • Full range of features of the Radio available to operator • Direct LID / GID input • LCD shows same information as radio’s • Fully programmable keypad (Maintenance) • All radio progress tones passed to DDC100 Controllers • Easy transition from radio to Desktop

10. Special Features • DDC100 special features provide enhancements to communications between the remote controllers. Intercom: Allows Remote Controllers connected to the same Desktop Station to talk to each other (not to Desktop Station Control Unit). Intercom LED will flash. Will time out after 30 seconds if no key is pressed. Mute: Will mute local receive audio. Privacy: Allows operator at a DDC100 Remote Controller to talk on radio without other operators hearing. Will time out after 60 seconds if no key is pressed. Supervisor: Immune from effects of Privacy, can interrupt other users while they are transmitting by pressing Privacy key (Privacy mode will not time out) Supervisor Takeover: Privacy mode will generate an output signal (pull to ground) that can trigger an external relay to physically disconnect all “downstream” Desktop Controllers Parallel Muting: A Remote Controller will automatically mute when another is transmitting
