NOTES:
Columns 6-13 would be for future build-out for 3 or
4 network connects rather then none or 2. This is
where it gets fairly complex as the network interconnect
combinations would grow (5 squared minus 5 just for 5
networks with only 2 network combinations, 3 and 4
network connects creates a vary large matrix). The
idea is to develop a systematic scheme now before
loading cBridge, so that it's easier to manage and
visualize and would reduce the likelihood of needing to
rework cBridge routes and IPSC network talkgroups.
Mode names are
currently descriptive for clarity in concept rather than
shortened and permanent.
Zone's 1-5/Mode 1
would be dedicated to a new and unique TG ID on each
repeater on all IPSC Networks to ease phase in of the
cBridge. Ultimately it could be any TG on each
network as desired including the main (mode 14).
Zone's 1-5/Mode 14
would be local only default TG on each IPSC Network (as
if no cBridge)
All-Net is a
unique TG ID number on all networks but not tied to any
existing network TG.
Super-All-Net would be the normal or main TG
used by each network and tied together by the cBridge
(emergency, hailing, nets, etc.)
The actual CPS
codeplug will be different as the TG number and local RF
info will vary, so the mode labels in the above chart
are only for the purpose intended and not what may
actually be coded in your plug.
The map would be
published to all users, radios would be programmed the
same for the 5 networks on the ports at least the first
5-10 modes in each zone to show the routing common to
all port.
A network manager or
local
subscriber could create additional personal zones and
fill them as desired, using the local network cBridge
mapped TG's as a building
block but custom for the user.
Common modes through
the rows will help the user memorize the purpose and
ease the zoning change.
Mode 16 might be the
Super All-Net (Main TG on all IPSC networks), tying all
networks together for net, emergencies, etc.
This map is designed
for the 5x16 limitation of 5 ports on cBridge and 16
modes max in a zone. Mobiles have unlimited modes
in each zone and unlimited zones but for the limit of
memory in the radios (approx 1k modes)
Actual Talkgroup ID
numbers could follow a similar pattern to keep it simple
for the cBridge and network admins. For example,
3106 is the state location for the NorCal cBridge
(3106), then1-5 through 5 for the ports, then 01 through
99 for a total of a 7 digit unique world-wide TG ID's.
Example: NorCal is on port 1, so All-Net could be
3101101, DCI All-net would be 3106201, NorCal's Owners
TG would be 3106115 for the 15th position on the
fleetmap. These numbers would be unique across all
networks so no conflicts in the cBridge routing maps and
admins decode the ID's simply without the need of a
look-up chart or table. I might get around
to a table of TG ID's to aid in visualizing the concept
but the point is to create a system sooner than later so
that was more bridges bridge there is no chance of
duplicate ID's gumming up the bridges.
This is a work in progress only.
