Introduction:

The Computer Controlled Radio Interface (CCRI) protocol is a

Rotronix Ltd proprietary command protocol embedded in the PROIS
option board for the Motorola Professional Mobile Radios and GM399
radios, and used for communicating with the radio via an
asynchronous serial port.

The radio is the DCE and is connected directly to the DTE, usually a
PC, via the serial port.

PC running
Com
Application

GM399

One mode of operation is available:

Command mode

When in Command mode, commands and response messages are

passed between the PC and the radio using the CCRI protocol. CCRI
commands can also be used to obtain GPS data and NMEA messages
from the radio (Note: Not yet implemented). When in Command
mode, communication between the PC and the radio
is set to 19200 baud.

1.1 Compability
This manual supports CCRI version 1.xx and later.
The radio programming software used should be the latest released
version for the Motorola Professional Mobile Radios. Refer to the
Motorola authorized dealer for the latest version.

Mobile Radio Computer-Controlled Radio interface protocol Manual Page 6 of 24

1.2 Serial ports
There is one port available for CCRI asynchronous serial
communication with the Motorola Professional Mobile Radio (inverted
3.3V logic). The microphone and accessory port are used for the
programming of the radio. The internal options connector is used for
connecting to the option board.

1.3 Auxiliary connector

The auxiliary connector is the interface for optional external devices
that are typically connected to a radio. The auxiliary connector is a 7-
way flat-socket. The auxiliary connector provides a serial port, and
audio I/O.

Note The space for a mating plug is limited to 18.6 mm width and
2.6 mm in height. It is recommended that you test the plug to be
used before manufacturing a cable.

If the auxiliary cable is longer than 1 meter, it is recommended that

the cable is shielded. The diagram shows the recommended shielding
arrangement. The earth braid wire (bare copper) should only be
earthed at the radio end of the cable.

1.4 Before Operating

Before using CCDI, the following is useful to check.

The radio must be correctly programmed for use with the PROIS
protocol .
The serial port of the radio is connected to a serial source like an
embedded application or a desk-top computer via a suitable level-
shifter, e.g. 3.3V to RS232 levels.

1.5 Limitations

Important Some data applications require extended

transmission times. This may be for larger file transfers or for real-
time telemetry information. This may put undue stress on the radio
transmitter and care must be taken to control transmission times.

Mobile Radio Computer-Controlled Radio interface protocol Manual Page 8 of 24

Command Modes
Command mode uses the T.L. Parker Ltd proprietary Computer
Controlled Radio Interface (CCRI), a command protocol embedded in
the PROIS option- board firmware, it is accessed using the serial port
lines from the PC. In this mode, the baud rate between the computer
equipment (DTE) and the radio (DCE) is 19200 baud.
In Command mode, the PC sends command sequences to the radio
and waits for a prompt before beginning the next transaction. Some
commands require the radio to send a CCRI message in response.
Messages sent to the radio will always be responded to by the
prompt.
Unsolicited messages such as PROGRESS or ERROR messages are
sent by the radio if there is a significant change in its state that the
PC should be aware of. If an error is detected, an unsolicited ERROR
message is sent by the radio to the PC. The radio cannot send
messages that require a reply.

2.1 Entering Command Mode

The radio will change to Command mode on receipt of the “hart-
beat” command (f010 Check-Sum) and stays in command mode until
2 seconds have elapsed after the last “hart-beat” has been received.
When in command mode the PC has full control of the radio, display
and indicators e.g. in the case of a button press, the radio will only
report the event to the PC.

2.2 CCDI Command Format

All CCRI message packets take the general form:
[IDENT] [SIZE] [PARAMETERS] [CHECKSUM] <CR>

[IDENT] = The message identifier. Identifiers are single ASCII

characters (lower-case alphabetical) which categorizes the message
type.
[SIZE] = The number of characters which make up the
[PARAMETERS] field. [SIZE] is an 8-bit number expressed in
ASCII hex notation (two characters).
[PARAMETERS] = An optional field, depending upon the command.
Parameter values are generally character strings unless explicitly
stated otherwise. Parameter type is dependent upon the command,
and often has multiple parts.
[CHECKSUM] = An 8-bit checksum of the [IDENT], [SIZE] and
[PARAMETERS] fields. Expressed in two character ASCII hex
notation.
<CR> = The carriage return (0Dh) packet terminator.

Mobile Radio Computer-Controlled Radio interface protocol Manual Page 9 of 24

2.3 Restrictions
All characters in a message are printable ASCII.
Where numeric values are represented in ASCII hex notation
(two characters per byte), characters A to F are upper case.
The minimum length of a command packet is 5 characters. For
example q002F is the QUERY command where [SIZE] = 00 as there
is no [PARAMETERS] field required.
The maximum length of the [PARAMETERS] field is 40 characters.
The maximum length of the command packet is therefore 45
characters.

2.4 Calculating the CCDI [CHECKSUM]

[CHECKSUM] is calculated by applying the following algorithm:

1. Take the sum, modulo-256 of all message bytes preceding the

[CHECKSUM].
2. Form the two‟s complement of the sum.
4. Convert the binary number into two ASCII hex digits, MSD first.

2.4.1 Checksum Example

s0D050800TESTHi!DA

1. Take the modulo-2 sum of all message bytes preceding

[CHECKSUM].

73h, 0 = 30h, D = 44h etc. therefore the sum is:

73 + 30 + 44 + 30 + 35 + 30 + 38 + 30 + 30 + 54 + 45 + 53 +
54 + 48 + 69 + 21 = 426h

2. 426h mod 256 = 26h

3. Form the two‟s complement is 0 - 26h = DAh

4. Convert the binary number into two ASCII hex digits, 44h 41h.

2.5 Commands to the Radio
The following commands are available to send from the PC to control
the radio.
Command Command Function

controls various hardware, miscellaneous radio

FUNCTION f
functions and heart-beat

GO_TO_CHANNEL g sets the radio to a particular channel

When a command is received without error by the option board and

all parameters are valid, the command is forwarded to the radio, and
an “Acknowledge” command is returned to the PC to signify that
another may begin. If an error arises, the PC is notified with an
appropriate “Not acknowledge” response or in the case of a
parameter error, an Error-response message is send.

Mobile Radio Computer-Controlled Radio interface protocol Manual Page 11 of 24

2.5.1 FUNCTION
The FUNCTION command provides access to various hardware and
miscellaneous functions. It has the following format:

f [SIZE] [FUNCTION] [SUBFUNCTION] [QUALIFIER] [CHECKSUM]

„f ‟ is sent as a single ASCII character and represents the FUNCTION

command.

2.5.2 GO_TO_CHANNEL
The GO_TO_CHANNEL command tells the radio to change to another
conventional mode (channel) that is part of the radio code-plug. The
specified channel can be assigned to a scan/vote group, or the
GO_TO_CHANNEL command can load a “soft-channel” in the radio,
specifying TX frequency, RX frequency. RX CTCSS frequency, TX CTCSS
frequency and channel-width (12.5, 20 or 25 kHz).

The GO_TO_CHANNEL command has the following format:

g [SIZE] [ZONE] [CHANNEL_NO] [CHECKSUM]

„g‟ is sent as a single ASCII character and represents the

GO_TO_CHANNEL command.
[ZONE] is a two-character string representing the new zone

ZONE = 02:
CHANNEL_NO is sent as two ASCII character and represents the
channel number.
Example:
Hard-channel change to channel 1: g04020172

Note If the radio is switched to a channel with scan/vote enabled, it

will adhere to the scan/vote conditions of that channel.

ZONE = 08:
Soft-channel change.
CHANNEL_NO = (txFrequency/125) (rxFrequency/125)
(txCTCSS*10) (rxCTCSS*10) 0 0

Example: g 32 08 120610 11F350 04CE 04CE 38 00000000 9F

Note: frequencies are in Hertz.

TX = 147.650 , RX = 147.050, TX CTCSS = 123 Hz,

RX CTCSS = 123 Hz, low power, 12.5 kHz channel spacing.

The source-code of a software application is available from T.L.

Parker Ltd Technical Support which will give examples of the use of
the commands and calculate the checksum for any given command
and parameters.

2.6 Messages from the Radio

At switch-on of the radio, the radio sends the following message to

the PC: "Motorola GM399 date [DATE], build [BUILD]",
Were “DATE” denotes the compile-date of the option-board and
“BUILD” denotes the compile number of the option-board software

The following messages are sent from the radio to the PC. Some are
solicited by commands from the PC, while others are unsolicited and
are sent because of changes within the radio-status.

Command Character Function

ACKNOWLEDGE + Acknowledgement of a command

Communication error in received

NOT ACKNOWLEDGE -
command

ERROR e Transaction processing error

PROGRESS p Radio state progress report 1

PROGRESS q Radio state progress report 2

RADIO_SERIAL n Radio serial number

2.6.1 ACKNOWLEDGE
Solicited.
The ACKNOWLEDGE message advises the PC that the radio has
received the command successfully.
The ERROR message has the following format:

+[SIZE] [COMMAND] [CHECKSUM]

[COMMAND] is a single character representing the command
sent to the radio.

Mobile Radio Computer-Controlled Radio interface protocol Manual Page 16 of 24

2.6.2 NOT ACKNOWLEDGE
Solicited.
The “NOT ACKNOWLEDGE” message advises the PC that the option
board has detected an error in the received command, this can be
any of the following errors.
FRAMING_ERROR ETYPE = 26
PARITY_ERROR ETYPE = 14
DATA_OVERRUN ETYPE = 18
[SIZE] is more than 40 characters ETYPE = 03
RX Buffer is full ETYPE = 07
Checksum error ETYPE = 04
Serial communication port time-out ETYPE = 05

The “NOT ACKNOWLEDGE” message has the following format:

-[SIZE] [ETYPE] [COMMAND] [CHECKSUM]

[ETYPE] is a dual digit character representing the error detected.

[COMMAND] is a single character representing the command sent
to the radio.

The FRAMING_ERROR flag can be used for detecting out-of-sync

conditions, detecting break conditions and protocol handling.

The DATA_OVERRUN Flag indicates data loss due to a UART-Receiver

buffer full condition it occurs when the receive buffer is full (two
characters),

The PARITY_ERROR Flag indicates that the next frame in the receive
buffer had a parity error when received. If parity check is not enabled
the PARITY_ERROR Flag will always be read zero.

2.6.3 ERROR
Solicited and unsolicited.
The ERROR message advises the PC that the radio has detected an
error condition and cannot proceed with the current transaction. In
some cases an exception condition in the radio may cause an ERROR
message to be sent to the PC independently of any control
transactions. This is a system error, which is an unsolicited message.

The ERROR message has the following format:

e [SIZE] [ETYPE] [ERRNUM] [CHECKSUM]

„e‟ is sent as a single ASCII character and represents the ERROR

command.
[ETYPE] is a single character representing the error category.

Mobile Radio Computer-Controlled Radio interface protocol Manual Page 17 of 24

 [ERRNUM] is two ASCII hex characters which identify the specific
error condition.

[ETYPE] [ERRNUM] Error description

T 3 checksum error PROIS

R 2 PROIS Data/Ready request not responding
R 5 PROIS buffer not emptied within the set time
R 15 PROIS buffer overflow
R 33 CCR timer (2 sec) expired radio has returned to normal operation

[ETYPE] „R‟ indicates a restart of the radio, this means that after
the restart the radio is in default CCRI state, i.e. the same as after a
“power-up” and switch to CCDI state.

[ETYPE] e07S0081, this is not an error-condition, but an indication

that the radio switched successfully to CCR mode.
