the two PIM operational modes PIM dense mode is data-driven and resembles typical multicast routing protocols Packets are forwarded on all outgoing interfaces until pruning and truncation occurs In dense mode, receivers are densely populated, and it is assumed that the downstream networks want to receive and will probably use the datagrams that are forwarded to them The cost of using dense mode is its default flooding behavior Sometimes called dense mode PIM or PIM DM PIM sparse mode One of the two PIM operational modes PIM sparse mode tries to constrain data distribution so that a minimal number of routers in the network receive it Packets are sent only if they are explicitly requested at the RP (rendezvous point) In sparse mode, receivers are widely distributed, and the assumption is that downstream networks will not necessarily use the datagrams that are sent to them The cost of using sparse mode is its reliance on the periodic refreshing of explicit join messages and its need for RPs Sometimes called sparse mode PIM or PIM SM PMC Push-to-Talk Management Center A standalone PC-based software application that simulates a handheld radio to enable PTT functionality for PC users This application enables Cisco IPICS PMC end-users, dispatch personnel, and administrators to participate in one or more channels/VTGs at the same time PMC ID The unique ID that the Cisco IPICS server generates for each PMC to track requests between the PMC and the server and to verify and manage concurrent PMC usage for licensing requirements policy Policies include one or more actions that execute sequentially and can be manually activated via the Cisco IPICS administration console or the telephony user interface Cisco IPICS provides support for multiple policy types policy channel A channel that can be set up by the dispatcher and configured as a designated channel; that is, a channel that is always open to enable your interaction with the dispatcher policy execution status An indicator of policy execution success or failure The Cisco IPICS administration console provides a status for each action under a policy, portalization A web programming paradigm for customizing the interface and functionality of a client application preamble The sequence of tones that precede a transmission The preamble generally includes the HLGT and the function tone protocol A set of unique rules that specify a sequence of actions that are necessary to perform a communications function PTT Push-to-talk A signal to a radio transmitter that causes the transmission of radio frequency energy The action that keys a radio or causes the radio to transmit On the Cisco router, the e-lead, or key tone, is used to signal the radio to transmit PTT channel A channel consists of a single unidirectional or bidirectional path for sending and/or receiving signals In the Cisco IPICS solution, a channel represents one LMR gateway port that maps to a conventional radio physical radio frequency (RF) channel PTT channel button The button on the PMC that you click with your mouse, or push, and hold to talk You can use the latch functionality on this button to talk on one or more channels at the same time PTT channel group A logical grouping of available PTT channels that can be used for categorization Solution Reference Network Design (SRND) for Cisco IPICS Release 2.1(1) GL-12 OL-12996-03 Glossary Q QoS quality of service A measurement of performance for a transmission system, including transmission quality and service availability queue Represents a set of items that are arranged in sequence Queues are used to store events occurring at random times and to service them according to a prescribed discipline that may be fixed or adaptive queuing delay In a radio communication system, the queuing delay specifies the time between the completion of signaling by the call originator and the arrival of a permission to transmit to the call originator R radio channel Represents an assigned band of frequencies sufficient for radio communication The bandwidth of a radio channel depends upon the type of transmission and its frequency tolerance radio control service The logical element in the Cisco IPICS system that can tune a radio to the desired channel without manual intervention Refers to a serial control entity radio equipment Any equipment or interconnected system or subsystem of equipment (both transmission and reception) that is used to communicate over a distance by modulating and radiating electromagnetic waves in space without artificial guide This

DTMF, in a specific sequence that includes specified durations and volume levels RF repeater An analog device that amplifies an input signal regardless of its nature (analog or digital) Also, a digital device that amplifies, reshapes, retimes, or performs a combination of any of these functions on a digital input signal for retransmission RMS router media service Component that enables the Cisco IPICS PMC to remotely attach to a VTG It also provides support for remotely attaching (combining) two or more VTGs through its loopback functionality The RMS mixes multicast channels in support of VTGs and it also mixes PMC SIP-based (unicast) connections to a multicast channel or VTG The RMS can be installed as a stand-alone component (RMS router) or as an additional feature that is installed in the LMR gateway Solution Reference Network Design (SRND) for Cisco IPICS Release 2.1(1) OL-12996-03 GL-13 Glossary root user ID The Cisco IPICS Linux user that has access to all files in the Cisco IPICS server Strong passwords are enforced and Linux operating system password expiration rules apply to this user ID RTP Real-Time Transport Procotol Commonly used with IP networks to provide end-to-end network transport functions for applications that transmit real-time data, such as audio, video, or simulation data, over multicast or unicast network services RTCP Real-time Transport Control Protocol The standard for notifying senders and receivers of important events or transmission statistics The most common forms of RTCP are the sender report and the receiver report S scanning A subscriber unit feature that automatically allows a radio to change channels or talk groups to enable a user to listen to conversations that are occurring on different channels or talk groups script prompts The audio prompts that the dial engine scripts play out during execution and which callers hear when they are interacting with the telephony user interface secure channel A channel that is connected to a radio that provides secure (encrypted or scrambled) communications on the Common Air Interface (CAI) side of the radio (The level of security that is configured in the data network determines the security of the communications between the LMR gateway and a network attached device, such as a PMC or Cisco Unified IP Phone.) An attribute that is set in the server to indicate that a channel is secure A PTT channel that is configured as secure cannot be combined with unsecure channels in a VTG serial controlled radio A type

from a transmitter to a receiver skin Skins form the appearance of the PMC In Cisco IPICS, skins are customizable and available in various options, including 4-channel and 8-channel mouse and touch screen formats speaker arbitration The procedure that is used to determine the active audio stream in a Push-to-Talk system spectrum The usable radio frequencies in the electromagnetic distribution The following frequencies have been allocated to the public safety community: High HF 25–29.99 MHz Low VHF 30–50 MHz High VHF 150–174 MHz Low UHF 406.1–420/450–470 MHz UHF TV Sharing 470–512 MHz 700

entities, such as channels, channel groups, VTGs, users, user groups, ops views, and policies The names can be recorded through the policy engine or externally-recorded wav files that can be uploaded into the system squelch An electric circuit that stops input to a radio receiver when the signal being received is too weak to be anything but noise statically configured Every stream of data that flows to the LMR gateway can be applied with a preamble and/or guard tone tone control by using a static configuration in the LMR gateway When traffic is sent on a multicast address, the radio automatically switches (because of the preamble) to the specific radio channel that is requested by the tone control sequence stored VTG Also referred to as inactive VTG subchannel A channel that shares the same multicast address as another channel or channels These multiple source streams (channels) may be present on a single radio channel On the PMC, you access these channels by pressing the channel selector buttons on the radio channel subscriber unit A mobile or portable radio unit that is used in a radio system system administrator The Cisco IPICS system administrator is responsible for installing and setting up Cisco IPICS resources, such as servers, routers, multicast addresses, locations, and PTT channels The system administrator also creates ops views, manages the Cisco IPICS licenses and PMC versions, and monitors the status of the system and its users via the activity log files system architecture The design principles, physical structure, and functional organization of a land mobile radio system Architectures may include single site, multi-site, simulcast, multicast, or voting receiver systems T T1 Digital WAN carrier facility T1 transmits DS-1-formatted data at 1.544 Mbps through the telephone-switching network, using alternate mark inversion (AMI) or binary zero suppression (B8ZS) coding T1 loopback Allows mapping from multicast to unicast so that unicast phone calls can be patched into an LMR or into other multicast audio streams A loopback is composed of two of the available T1 interfaces talk group A VTG or a channel A subgroup of radio users who share a common functional responsibility and, under normal circumstances, only coordinate actions among themselves and not require radio interface with other subgroups TCP Transmission Control

standards A joint effort between government and industry to develop voice and data technical standards for the next generation of public safety radios tone control The process of using inband tone sequences to change the behavior of a radio end point An inband tone can be used to control functions, such as modifying (retuning) the radio frequency (RF channel), changing the transmit power level, and monitoring a channel The most basic form of tone control (tone keyed) is used to key the radio With the Cisco IPICS solution, the radio that is being controlled is directly connected to the LMR gateway E&M leads tone frequency A specific form of a function tone The tone that is used to signal the radio to select a frequency These audible tone frequencies are generated in the router and combined in a specific sequence to perform a tone control function tone keyed A tone keyed radio requires the presence of a specific tone on the incoming analog (e-lead) port Without this tone, the radio cannot transmit The tone is generally used to prevent spurious transmission that may occur because of injected noise tone signaling Any form of over-the-air audible signals that are intended to terminate at the far end Examples include alerting tones, DTMF tones, and paging tones transmit indicator On some of the PMC skins, this indicator blinks red when traffic is being transmitted trigger A time-based event that invokes a policy on a scheduled basis, without manual intervention trunk A physical and logical connection between two switches across which network traffic travels In telephony, a trunk is a phone line between two central offices (COs) or between a CO and a PBX trunked (system) Systems with full feature sets in which all aspects of radio operation, including RF channel selection and access, are centrally managed trunked radio system Integrates multiple channel pairs into a single system When a user wants to transmit a message, the trunked system automatically selects a currently unused channel pair and assigns it to the user, decreasing the probability of having to wait for a free channel TUI telephony user interface The telephony interface that the dial engine provides to enable callers to perform tasks, such as joining talk groups and invoking policies tune (a radio) To change the current send and receive frequencies on a radio This task is usually accomplished via a preset with some form of radio control Solution Reference Network Design (SRND) for Cisco IPICS Release 2.1(1) GL-16 OL-12996-03 Glossary U user The Cisco IPICS user may set up personal login information, download the PMC application, customize the PMC skin, and specify communication preferences that are used to configure audio devices By using a predefined user ID and profile, the user can participate in PTT channels and VTGs by using the PMC, supported models of Cisco Unified IP Phones, and the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) via the telephony dial functionality of the Cisco IPICS IP policy engine Users may have one or more Cisco IPICS roles, such as system administrator, ops view administrator, operator or dispatcher unicast Specifies point-to-point transmission, or a message sent to a single network destination V VAD Voice Activity Detection When VAD is enabled on a voice port or on a dial peer, only audible speech is transmitted over the network When VAD is enabled on Cisco IPICS, the PMC only sends voice traffic when it detects your voice virtual channel A virtual channel is similar to a channel but a radio system may not be attached By creating a virtual channel, participants who not use physical handheld radios to call into a VTG become enabled by using the PMC application or a supported Cisco Unified IP Phone model voice interoperability Voice interoperability enables disparate equipment and networks to successfully communicate with each other voice replay A feature that allows the PMC user to replay buffered
