Displaying Radio Alias instead of Primary ID in Man Down feature in Analog mode

[salarazad]

Hi everyone!

We are testing the Man-down feature on our devices which are working in analog mode, it is working fine as expected but it is only showing the Primary ID of MDC systems which is not very helpful because it is difficult the remember person name of that particular Primary ID.

We are using direct communication for some channels (same frequency), and three repeaters (SLR5500) for three other channels.

We are wondering if it is possible to link the Primary ID with the Radio Alias so it shows the Radio Alias when the Man-down feature has been activated.

What radios are you using?

What radios and what software? Kind of hard to answer the question without this info.

What radios are you using?

We are using different models like: DP48001e - DP46001e - DP48001Ex - DM4601e - GP380, and we are using the Mototrbo CPS2 software for programming the handsets and the repeaters.

Under contacts, click add, add an MDC contact.

Thank you for your reply, I have added the contacts and now it's working, I can see the contact name.

Glad I can help. Motorola tends to make things like that more complicated than they should be.

Is there an option inside CPS2 or external software for contacts bulk upload, like importing the user information from a CSV file? it would things much easier in case we have many devices.

Unfortunately, no. On the bright side, you only have to build it once. After that you can copy paste as needed.
