ASTRO 25 Tuner R05.04.02
============================================

- Windows 7 is supported in R15.00.00 Depot and higher. 

- The vendor is phasing out support for the parallel port adapter DS1410E. Motorola 
  will not support the parallel port on Windows 7 or x64 bit machines starting with 
  R15.00.00 Depot.

- If both portable and mobile Depot's are used, it is recommended to 
  update both at the same time, and tutorials should be installed 
  with BOTH versions.

- POP25 feature is NOT supported with VISTA operating system.

=============================
NOTE: FIRMWARE VERSION R15.00.00 or HIGHER IS REQUIRED FOR THE 
FOLLOWING FEATURES TO WORK IN THE RADIO:
 
- P25 Radio Authentication

- P25 Remote Monitor

- Console Based Emergency Clear
Note: Future Radio feature. Please check firmware release notes for details.

- Multi System Roaming for HPD 1000 radios.


Detailed information for each of these features can be found in the 
Depot help. Help can be accessed from the CPS menu by selecting Help-> 
CPS Help Topics.


Customer Reported Issues Resolved:
==================================

- OTAP programming success rate improved 


For VISTA Users:
================
 
The following configuration on Vista Home Premium and Business Premium 
needs to be set for the CPS to function properly:

- Vista Theme should be set to Windows Classic.
- Codeplug archive names should not exceed 30 characters.
- A Vista compatible printer is required for using the Print 
  functionality in the CPS.
- In order for the PDA to synch successfully with CPS on Vista, Windows 
  Mobile Device Center should be used. It can be downloaded from 
  http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx,
- User Access Control should be turned OFF before using CPS

Features that do not work with User Access Control (UAC) ON:
- PDA: ASTRO 25 CPS Tool will not install

Tutorials Update: 
==================
 Due to the newly added support for Vista, the tutorials and help engine 
 have been updated to a new format. Required modifications to the new help  
 format require Microsoft Internet Explorer version 6 or above. Microsoft  
 shipped Internet Explorer version 6 in 2001.
 Thirteen of the online help tutorial files have been converted from an   
 AVI format (.avi) to the Adobe Flash (.swf) format. The .avi to .swf   
 conversion saves over 250 megabytes of harddrive space. 
 All tutorial lessons are now in the Flash format. 
 Currently there are approximately 60 tutorial lessons requiring about 70  
 megabytes of harddrive space. The tutorials are always installed in a  
 Tutorials subfolder for each of the CPS applications.
 It is strongly recommended to install the tutorials with this new version   
 of the CPS. Previous tutorial versions are not recognized by R12.00.00 CPS
 or higher.
 

Note: Double-clicking a link within the help text might generate a error 
message.
 

Important Change Control Head information:
==========================================
 Make sure to perform the following steps when changing to 'O5/O3' 
 control head from Wx control heads in the XTL 5000 radio:

1) FLASHport upgrade the radio using appropriate 'Refresh' FLASHkey
2) From the Change Control Head Window in the CPS, select the new "O5" 
   control head
3) Write the codeplug to the radio
4) Physically change the old control head to the new "O5" or "O3"

Known Issues:
=============
1) Drop down items in table fields cannot be accessed when using Windows XP
   Professional "Windows XP Style" display.  If this issue is encountered,
   change the display setting to "Windows Classic Style" for proper
   functionality.
2) Attempting to Read from or Write to a radio with the CPS while the Tuner,
   Data Link Manager, or synchronization software for a PDA is open and
   communicating with a radio will cause a communication failure.
3) Due to French import laws, the Microsoft encryption support used to
   create archive (.cpg) files with the CPS (Customer Programming Software)
   is not available on the French version of the Windows Operating Systems.
   Therefore, there is no way to save archive files when the CPS is
   installed on the French version of Windows. Until import laws are
   changed such that Microsoft can provide encryption support, this feature
   can not be addressed.
4) Under Tools->FLASHport->Read Radio Configuration, closing the dialog box
   by pressing the 'X' in the upper right of the dialog while the application
   is still busy (the cursor is shaped like an hourglass) may terminate the
   application.
5) Memory issues have been reported when 3 or more sessions of the CPS are 
   open at the same time.
6) Very seldom, communication errors might be encountered during radio 
   read/write, if this happens, reset the radio and try again.
7) If Logitech MouseWare version 9.76 is installed on the PC, it causes
   Tools>Reports to fail and enter corrupt data in the registry. This occurs
   when an ampersand is entered as part of a Zone Channel name. If the
   MouseWare is either removed or upgraded to MouseWare version 9.79.1 or
   later, it resolves the problem.
8) PDA application does not support HPD 1000 radios.
9) Once starting to read or write codeplug via POP25, the process can't 
    be cancelled. Depending on the size of codeplug, this process could
    take long time (3 to 8 minutes).
10) Please avoid saving an invalid codeplug with "~" characters in table fields.
    Doing so may cause the application to terminate.
11) If a communications error is encountered when attempting to Clone HPD 1000 
    radios (mostly while running in Windows 2000), in the CPS, under View -> 
    Options -> Timer Options tab, change the value of 'Clone/Read/Write Timer 
    (sec)' field to '5' or higher.
12) If a communications error is encountered when attempting to FLASHport update 
    radios, in the CPS, under View ->  Options -> Timer Options tab, change the 
    values of 'FLASHport Timer' fields to '20' or higher    
13) If an Advanced System Key(ASK) fails to load, close the currently open 
    codeplug and reopen it. The System Key should be active, even though an error
    message may appear.
14) When formatting an Advanced System Key, the 'Initialize' message may appear 
    several times. Please select 'Cancel' to proceed.
15) 'Failsoft Connect Tone' field can only be Advanced System Key protected if 
    'Connect Tone' is also protected. Specific protection for this field is not
    supported.
16) Voice Files do NOT get copied when using POP25 feature.
17) "Preset Zone and Channel Enable" should NOT be enabled when using a DTMF mic.
18) Help files may not open after importing a csv file. If so, close and re-open
    CPS for the help files to open successfully.
19) Codeplug archive names should not exceed 30 characters on Windows 7 and VISTA.
20) Users of the Network Radio Programmer on Windows 7 64-bit machines may see a 
    "Program Compatibility Assistant" popup displayed during installation. This is 
    due to Microsoft .NET Framework 1.1 compatibility issues with those machines. 
    After continuing the installation by clicking the "Run program" button on the popup, 
    the Network Radio Programmer feature can still be used on the machine. 


Installation:
=============
1) It is no longer required that the previous version of the application be
   uninstalled before installing this release.  Note that this does not allow
   multiple versions to be installed, rather the already installed application
   will be upgraded. 
2) When the Installation CD is inserted into the CD-ROM drive, the
   installation will start automatically if auto start is enabled for
   the PC. Follow the on-screen instructions to install the software.
3) Please refer to the CPS Programming Installation Guide, which is
   included with this software for more detailed information.
4) If a file installed by the CPS later becomes corrupted, the Repair
   option on the Installation CD may be used to restore it. It is very
   important that the Installation CD for the same version that is 
   installed on the computer is used for Repair. Use of a different
   version in an attempt to Repair an installation will result in further
   corruption.
5) If the PC has never had a 1-Wire USB device connected to it before, such 
   as the USB dongle used for FLASHkeys or Advanced keys, then plug it in right 
   after installation to complete the USB install. If it is not recognized or if
   auto-detect can not locate the USB device driver, then point the New Hardware 
   Wizard's Driver installer to it in the install drive, such as  
   "C:\". The wizard should then find and install the driver automatically.


Connecting the PC to the Radio:
===============================
Do not use the Radio Interface Box (RIB), Smart Radio Interface Box (SRIB)
or any of the cables that plug into those boxes. Use only the following
direct PC to radio cables: 

ASTRO Spectra Plus / XTL 5000 RS232 cable = HKN6155

XTL 5000 High Power / XTL 5000 with 'O5' Control Head / XTL 2500 / XTL 1500 
/ PM 1500 
RS232 GCAI cable = HKN6183

XTL 5000 High Power / XTL 5000 with 'O5' Control Head / XTL 2500 / XTL 1500 
/ PM 1500
USB GCAI cable = HKN6184

HPD 1000 USB Cable = HKN6177A (6 ft) or HKN6178A (16.5 ft)

When using the USB cable, be sure to always click "Yes" on the Digital
Signature window whenever it is displayed by the operating system. Note
that the USB cable can be used only with Windows XP Service Pack 1 or higher
and operating systems.The CPS or 
Tuner application must first be installed before attaching the USB cable and 
turning the radio on.

For additional cables information, go to Help-> CPS help topics -> Index -> 
Part Numbers.


For POP25 Operation:
====================
TCP Retransmissions on your machine needs to be set to 5 or higher. Motorola 
recommends that if the following registry keys are defined on your system, 
they be set to the following values for POP25 operation:
 
On Windows 7, Windows Vista and XP:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
 \SYSTEM
 \CurrentControlSet
 \Services
 \Tcpip
 \Parameters
 \TcpMaxDataRetransmissions - 5 or more 

On XP Only:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
 \SYSTEM
 \CurrentControlSet
 \Services
 \Tcpip
 \Parameters
 \TcpMaxConnectRetransmissions - 3 or more

For help on editing registry values, read Microsoft online support at http://support.microsoft.com
/kb/256986.

- While the POP25 operation is in progress, do NOT attempt to start a second session until 
the first is done.


Programming Hints:
==================
1) For trunking customers, the first time the CPS is started, navigate to the
   User Settings Dialog under the Tools menu and set up the directories where
   the system key files will be stored. 
2) To retrieve data from ASTRO Spectra codeplugs, first read the codeplug
   into the ASTRO Spectra CPS and use the top node drag and drop feature to
   copy the data into the ASTRO Spectra Plus or XTL codeplug.
   Drag and drop is a very powerful and time-saving tool, but the
   data should always be verified before writing to a radio. The Drag and
   Drop Report can help with this verification. Please view the Drag and
   Drop Tutorial included in Help for more information.
3) To get help on a field, press F1 while focus is on the field, or click on
   the Help button on the tool bar (an Arrow with a question mark) and then
   click on the field for which help is desired.
4) For more information on the features available in the Windows CPS, we
   suggest viewing the audio-visual help tutorials. They can be accessed
   from the CPS menu by selecting Help->CPS Help Topics, and then double-
   clicking on CPS-User...Audio & Video Tutorials, then The Tutorials Menu.
   Then select the appropriate tutorial.

Connecting the PC to the radio:
===============================
Do not use the Radio Interface Box (RIB), Smart Radio Interface
Box (SRIB) or any of the cables that plug into those boxes.

Use only the following direct PC to radio cables:

 XTS 1500/ XTS 2000 / ATS 3000/ XTS 2500/ XTS 5000/ MT 1500/ PR 1500 RS232 cable = RKN4106

Known issues:
=============
1) In the event that PC to radio communications fail even after
   attempting to read the radio multiple times, it might be necessary
   to reset the communications by either turning the radio off/on or
   by disconnecting/reconnecting the cable connected to the radio.

2) PC to radio communications will sometimes fail if you attempt
   to read the radio immediately after closing the previous tuning
   session. Wait for the "hourglass" to disappear before reading
   the radio again.

3) When entering data in the Transmit Power Characterization screen,
   the values used must be measured values, any other values might
   generate unpredictable results. 

4) The XTL radios and the HPD modem take longer to reset than
   the ASTRO Spectra Plus radios. When tuning these radios, allow enough
   time for the radio to reset before attempting to read/tune the radio 
   again.

5) During HPD BER testing, the Rx Frequency should NOT be changed while 
   the test is running. If the Rx Frequency needs to be changed, please 
   STOP the test, change the frequency, then start the test again.

6) During the HPD BER testing, it is not recomended to transmit while 
   the Rx test is running.
