NEW FEATURES
XPT Dynamic Authentication
Authentication operates in a way that the radio and the system use the agreed
encryption algorithm to authenticate the validity of each other. In XPT system, the
radio and the system use the agreed encryption algorithm to authenticate the
validity of each other. Only the valid radio can operate in the system.
XPT system supports Dynamic Authentication and Static Authentication. In this
release, Dynamic Authentication is added. Dynamic Authentication is realized in
a way that the repeater in the system periodically embeds the random
authentication key in the broadcast information sent by the system. After
receiving the broadcast information, the radio will update the authentication key.
XPT Dynamic Authentication is enabled or disabled via CPS.
Note: Authentication is only supported on voice channels. It is not supported on
data channels.
To configure the feature in the CPS, go to:
XPT Trunking -> XPT Service -> Setting -> Authentication -> Dynamic
Authentication
XPT Dynamic Authentication
■ Higher protection level for channel resources.
■ Authenticate with a key automatically generated from your input
key each time.
■ Simple configuration to enable this feature.
XPT Encryption (Only Hytera Encrypt)
XPT system only supports Basic Encrypt and Full Encrypt-Hytera.
Whether the radio is set with Full Encrypt-DMRA or Full Encrypt-Hytera in
Feature Control via CPS, the radio only supports Full Encrypt-Hytera
when it switches to XPT mode.
To configure the feature in the CPS, go to:
􀁺 XPT Trunking -> Digital Common -> Encrypt
􀁺 XPT Trunking -> Channel -> XPT Personality -> Encrypt
XPT Interference Detection
XPT Interference Detection can detect the interference to the downlink
frequency of the repeater. This feature is realized in a way that the
mobile radio detects whether the downlink frequency of the repeater is
interfered, including interferences caused by digital common-frequency
system with different color codes or analog common-frequency system.
Note: Only one GPIO pin of the mobile radio can be set to Interference
Detection feature at one time.
Moreover, Interference Detection feature is invalid when Scan and
Roam is enabled for the mobile radio.
To configure the feature in the CPS, go to:
XPT Trunking -> General Setting -> Accessories -> GPIO Pins -> Pin# > Interference Detect
XPT Interference Detection
XPT Dedicated Data Channel
In XPT system, the radio must be assigned with at least one dedicated
data repeater to carry out the data services sent to the dispatch station,
such as periodically sending GPS positioning data, sending registration
information and sending specific data applications. In this way, the
dispatch station can track and record the radio position and registration
information on a real-time basis, so as to manage and dispatch the radio.
To configure the feature in the CPS, go to:
XPT Trunking -> XPT Service -> Site Data List
XPT SIP Phone Call
In XPT system, the connect code and disconnect code of the radio
must be consistent with those of the repeater. XPT system only
supports SIP Phone Call feature.
To configure the feature in the CPS, go to:
XPT Trunking -> Phone -> Phone System/Phone List
XPT Multi-site Roaming
Roam feature is developed for XPT system to enlarge the communication
coverage in the wide region.
Note
Roam is a paid feature. The XPT Multi-sites Roam feature and conventional
Roam feature will be enabled and disabled at the same time.
To configure the feature in the CPS, go to:
XPT Trunking -> Channel -> XPT Personality -> Roam List
XPT Trunking -> Roam
Emergency Erase Data
Emergency Erase Data Method is added to allow radio user to erase the
encryption key data in case of emergency, so as to protect the information security.
Emergency Erase Data Method can be set as Button and Radio Disable/Kill via
CPS. With Button enabled, press SK1 for portable radio (P1 for mobile radio) and
then PTT within 1.5 seconds alternatively for twice to enter the confirmation mode,
and then press SK1 to confirm the operation. The radio will give corresponding
indications and tones upon successful operation. With Radio Disable/Kill enabled,
the radio will erase the encryption key data once it is killed. In such case, the radio
will not give any indications.
Note: 1. SK1 for portable radio (P1 for mobile radio) cannot be set with Operation
Mode Switch feature; otherwise, the key combination will be invalid.
2. The data deleted by Emergency Erase Data Method feature cannot be restored.
Radio user needs to reprogram the data.
To configure the feature in the CPS, go to:
Common -> Setting -> Emergency Erase Data Method -> Button/Radio Disable/Kill
Wire Clone from Radio to Radio
Wire Clone allows radio user to clone the configurations of Radio A
(master radio) to Radio B (slave radio) via wires and ports. When CPS is
not available, the radio user can program a radio via Wire Clone.
The master radio and slave radio will give proper operation indications
respectively during Wire Clone. Currently, this feature is supported by
PD7, PD6 and X1 series radios.

XPT Dedicated Data Channel
To reduce the conflict rate between voice/message services and
RRS/GPS services, and to improve the success rate of RRS/GPS
services in XPT system, XPT Dedicated Data Repeater feature is
added in R7.6. The dedicated data repeater is only used to receive and
respond to RRS/GPS services of the radio, and report these services to
the third party applications. If there are dedicated data repeaters
configured in the XPT system, the radios will not use the dedicated
data repeaters to repeat voice and message services. User can set the
“Repeater Service Type” of a repeater to “Voice Repeater” or “Data
Repeater” via CPS. Each XPT site can support up to eight dedicated
data repeaters.
To configure the feature in the CPS, go to:
XPT Trunking -> XPT Service -> Setting -> Site Setting -> Repeater
Service Type
XPT Repeater API
In this release, Repeater API dispatching feature is added in XPT
system. Customers can connect the third party dispatching application
to the repeater via internet connection, and use the application to
dispatch, respond to and monitor the radio in XPT system. This feature
can facilitate customers in dispatching the services of the XPT system.
In R7.6, Repeater API dispatching feature is only supported in XPT
single-site system. Repeater API dispatching feature in XPT multi-site
system will be supported in later versions.
To configure the feature in the CPS, go to:
XPT Trunking -> General Setting -> Network -> Application

XPT Encryption
XPT Encryption can prevent other radios except for the source and
target radios from reading the data or receiving the voice
communication, thus protecting the communication security in XPT
system. The Encrypt configurations of all repeaters in XPT system must
be consistent. Currently, only Basic Encrypt and Full Encrypt-Hytera
are supported in XPT system. XPT Encryption has the same
configuration as the conventional Encryption. To configure the feature
in the CPS, go to:
􀁺 XPT Trunking -> Digital Common -> Encrypt
􀁺 XPT Trunking -> Channel -> XPT Channel -> Encrypt
XPT SIP Phone
XPT SIP Phone is a feature that uses the repeaters in XPT system as
carriers and employs the SIP protocol standard to realize the real-time
communication between radios in XPT system and telephone
terminals (including PSTN phone, VoIP phone, mobile phone, etc.).
XPT SIP phone services are similar to XPT conventional voice services.
The services can share channel resources and have higher channel
utilization rate than conventional SIP phone services. One site can
support up to eight SIP phone services at a time. In R7.6, SIP Phone
feature is only supported in XPT single-site system. SIP Phone
feature in XPT multi-site system will be supported in later versions.
To configure the feature in the CPS, go to:
􀁺 XPT Trunking -> Phone -> Phone System
􀁺 XPT Trunking -> Phone -> Phone Call
XPT Dynamic Authentication
In R7.0, XPT Static Authentication restricts the unauthorized and illegal
radio from accessing the system,thus preventing unauthorized use of
the channels in the system. In R7.6, XPT Dynamic Authentication is
added by enhancing the authentication algorithm and keys, thus
improving the access security of XPT system.
To configure the feature in the CPS, go to:
XPT Trunking -> XPT Service -> Setting -> Authentication -> Dynamic
Authentication
XPT Repeating TOT
XPT Repeating TOT feature is used to prevent a radio in XPT system from using a
channel for an extended period. With this feature enabled, if a voice call of a radio is
ended due to TOT expiration, the radio will be unable to continue this voice call on the
repeater within TOT Re-repeat Time. XPT Repeating TOT is only valid for the current
channel. If the current channel is busy and the radio switches to other channel, the
radio still can initiate services within TOT Re-repeat Time. This feature has the same
operation as that in conventional system. User can configure this feature as per actual
needs.
To configure the feature in the CPS, go to:
XPT Trunking -> General Setting -> Setting -> Basic Setting -> Repeat TOT Time[s]
XPT Trunking -> General Setting -> Setting -> Basic Setting -> TOT Pre-alert Time[s]
XPT Trunking -> General Setting -> Setting -> Basic Setting -> TOT Pre-alert Interval
Time[s]
XPT Trunking -> General Setting -> Setting -> Basic Setting -> TOT Re-repeat Time[s]
XPT Interference Detection
In some countries, there are restrictions on radio usage that the system
must stop transmitting when common-frequency interference is detected. To
meet this requirement, XPT Interference Detection is added. This feature
allows the system to stop transmitting immediately once uplink or downlink
common-frequency interference is detected. Uplink common-frequency
interference is detected automatically by the repeater. Downlink commonfrequency interference is detected by third party devices (such as mobile
radio) connecting to the repeater via pins.
To configure the feature in the CPS, go to:
􀁺 XPT Trunking -> Channel -> XPT Channel -> Interference Detection
􀁺 XPT Trunking -> Channel -> XPT Channel -> RSSI Threshold
