Dynamic Group Number Assignment in Capacity Max

As of R2.10.0, Capacity Max supports Dynamic Regrouping (also known as Dynamic Group Number Assignment or DGNA).
This feature allows a dispatch application like SmartPTT Plus or TRBONET Plus, to send an Add Dynamic Group Number Assignment (DGNA) Talkgroup (TG) to a radio.

When a radio receives the command to add DGNA Talkgroup, it replaces the contact, and alias of the current personality. Depending on the configuration, the radio uses the existing personality
and the RX group assigned to it, with the addition of the newly assigned DGNA Talkgroup. All other configurable options of the personality with the DGNA Talkgroup remain the same.


All radios in a DGNA Talkgroup, that utilize encryption, must have the same keys in their key list. This allows communication regardless of whether all radios have the same privacy key in the personality holding the DGNA Talkgroup.
If the scan list contains the maximum number of Talkgroups, one non-priority Talkgroup is dropped
from the list to make room for the DGNA'ed Talkgroup.

When a radio has a DGNA Talkgroup, it is possible to change personalities; move away from and back to the DGNA Talkgroup. However, the scan list of a different personality may not contain the DGNA Talkgroup so therefore calls may be missed if the user changes "channel". DGNA
Talkgroup Add accepts and processes DGNA commands even when the radio is away from the intended personality.

DGNA also optionally supports authentication. When enabled, the radio authenticates the system before processing any DGNA command.

There is also the possibility to configure a DGNA One Touch Button which allows the user to initiate a call to the Talkgroup that was replaced by the DGNA Talkgroup.

To support Dynamic Group Number Assignment, the following are needed:
  1. Upgrade the CMSS; Repeaters and Radios to R2.10.0
  2. Upgrade the Dispatch Application to the release that supports DGNA (SmartPTT Plus 9.5 or TRBONET 5.4).
  3. HKVN4694A DGNA licence - one per site.

Errata

Note that one DGNA licence is required per RF site and not one per trunking controller as previously indicated. This is mentioned in the System Planner.
