About this Manual

The purpose of this manual is to help you install and operate the MC3000 Digital Deskset.

It is written for operators and for the technicians who are responsible for installing and

troubleshooting the MC3000 Digital Deskset and related equipment. It provides reference

information for technicians and Motorola field support engineers and technicians.

The MC3000 Digital Deskset (L3223) is operated as an extension of four Motorola radio

system types (connected through the Digital Junction Box): ASTRO, MCS2000, iDEN and

LTR. As such, the digital radio function buttons will emulate the buttons and display of the

radio it is connected to. For detailed instructions on the operation of the radio buttons,

refer to the appropriate radio user documentation.

Note: The deskset default configuration is for an ASTRO digital radio. Refer to Chapter 2

if you connect the deskset to a different digital radio type.

MC3000 Deskset Overview

The MC3000 Digital Deskset is a small-footprint radio dispatch console designed to satisfy

the needs of digital radio users who require multiple dispatch points with enhanced talk /

listen and inter-dispatcher intercom.

The MC3000 is the approximate size and shape of an office telephone set, with a tele-

phone-like handset that includes a PTT switch. The handset microphone and speaker

become active when the handset is lifted from the housing base. The housing includes a

built-in condenser microphone and an internal speaker. The unit housing and handset are

both black in color. An external deskset microphone or footswitch can be connected to the

deskset.

Speaker volume can be adjusted using a knob on the front panel. The minimum level does

not mute speaker. Receive, transmit, and intercom transmit audio levels can be adjusted

using potentiometers inside the deskset housing. The front panel has the following buttons

and LEDs:

• Intercom (green LED)

• Speaker (green LED)

• Takeover (green LED)

• Transmit (red TX LED, yellow Busy LED)

• Keypad (1 -9, A - D in green, A - Z in black, * and #)

• Shift button (

For a single connection, the digital radio and Digital Junction Box must be within 50 feet of

each other. Figure 2-1 shows a Digital Junction Box connected to a digital radio. The con-

nection to the radio is made using a radio interface cable (provided with the Digital Junc-

tion Box). The connections to the operator desksets and consoles are made over RS-485

links, using RJ45 connectors to connect to the Digital Junction Box. The operator consoles

and desksets can be located up to 5000 feet from the Digital Junction Box. If the deskset

is connected directly to the radio, the maximum separation is 50 feet. A deskset cannot be

connected directly to an LTR radio.
