range is interpreted as off and will display as revert off on the screen. Numbers outside the range of 5 to
65535 will produce an out of range error, and you will be prompted again to enter a value in the correct
range.
2.3.2 Dynamic Update Mode
(TSAM Version 1.20 and up)
Dynamic update mode is used in conjunction with the EOR (End of Receive Update Mode) and Integrated
Vote mode. Using this mode, the first transmission from a mobile will be made over his transmitter (First
Receive/Instant Update Mode). Subsequent transmissions are steered normally. The first transmission
from a console will be made from either the last transmitter selected or from the Home Transmitter (if it is
programmed and the Revert Timer has timed out).
After a period of inactivity, the dynamic mode timer times out and switches the Update mode to First
receive for the next voted signal. After this, the update mode returns to the Smart-Steer™ Integrated Vote
/ EOR update mode.
Dynamic update allows an EOR update mode system to use a more appropriate steered site when a new
conversation starts. If EOR mode is used alone, a new conversation started on an idle channel would be
transmitted over the last used site. The dynamic update mode selects the site with the best coverage for the
new user. This assumes the new user desires best transmitter coverage in the area near him (as opposed to
across town). After the initial transmit site selection, subsequent sites are steered at the end of
portable/mobile transmissions (EOR update mode).
The Dynamic Mode Timer is programmable from 5 to 32,767 seconds. When programmed for 32,768 to
65,535 seconds the timer is turned off
2.3.3 Dynamic Multicast Mode
Dynamic Multicast Mode is available only on units with the Secondary Mode Option. It is similar to the
Dynamic Mode, but it uses Multicast Mode for the first mobile transmission after the Dynamic Mode
Timer has expired. On subsequent transmissions, the TSAM will use Smart-Steer™ Integrated Vote /
EOR update mode. This allows the first transmission (from the console or a mobile) to be transmitted over
many (or all) transmitters. Normal steering will be done on subsequent transmissions.
2.3.4 Transmitter Revert and Dynamic Mode Timer Resets
The Transmit Revert and Dynamic Mode timers run during periods of inactivity. When a timer is reset, it
is held in the reset state and not allowed to run until the activity has ended. The following types of activity
will reset the timer:
• Vote activity (or internally generated Repeater PTT)
• Console 1 PTT
• Force Select
