Motorola MCC 7500 Question

[NJFFDisp]

I am looking to update our communication center's radio interface with Motorola MCC 7500 infrastructure and software. One of the unique challenges/capabilities we are looking for in a radio console software is the ability to receive Quick Call 2 (two-tone) pages. Simply stated resources that our dispatched by our communications center often respond to incidents that our outside of that of which our jurisdiction. Currently, we are alerted by a Minitor Pager. We are looking to incorporate this into the dispatch console. Does anyone know if MCC 7500 is capable of doing this? If so does anyone have an documentation or examples of MCC 7500 performing this function?

Have seen this done with a radio (a CDM-1250, iirc) that had a single channel programmed in as a pager. This was many moons ago, I don't have the console spec or software used, but it would bring the channel audio up and trip an indicator light. The console was minimally involved, it just passed audio when the channel was unmuted, and iirc it could relatch the radio...I can't imagine it being that hard to duplicate with 20 yr old newer software/hardware.

I suspect that the MCC7500 won't do this 'off-air' (i.e. in the CCGW) but ask your Motorola account exec to check with the product group.

If you want to get rid of the pager and integrate the alert on the console screens - with or without audible indication - you could add an external decoder and connect it to a console I/O input.

That decoder could be as simple as a mobile radio with QC-II decode set up for 'horn' and that output connected to the console I/O interface.

MCC7500 won't do 2 tone decode "natively". Per above, you would need external radio/decoders. The switched decoder output could feed the I/O interface (SDM3000) or you could drive a dedicated indicator (EX Console furniture light, audible alert, etc) If you need to transmit on resources, these resources would need to be interfaced to CCGW.

As said MCC wont decode. I just did a similar project and used a CM200 for each county programmed with Call Alert and tied to a CCGW port. After it alerts dispatcher just hits the PTT and it resets.
