damage.
•Remove rings, watches, and other metallic objects from your body before opening
equipment. These could be electrical shock or burn hazards.
•Ensure that a proper electrostatic discharge device is used, to prevent damage to electronic
components.
•Do not attempt internal service of equipment unless another person, capable of rendering aid
and resuscitation, is present.
•Do not work near rotating fans unless absolutely necessary. Exercise caution to prevent fans
from taking in foreign objects, including hair, clothing, and loose objects.
•Use care when moving equipment, especially rack-mounted modules, which could become
unstable. Certain items may be heavy. Use proper care when lifting.

Introduction
Overview
The Intelligent Radio Interface Module (iRIM), used in conjunction with an iRIM iDEN
i365 Adapter, enables you to operate a remote Motorola iDEN i365 or i365IS radio with
Zetron DCS-5020 and ACOM consoles. The iRIM passes transmit and receive audio and
provides access to radio functions through tone remote function tone sequences. The
iRIM iDEN i365 Adapter provides the appropriate connections to the radio, enabling the
radios to communicate with the iRIM, to be powered by the adapter, and to charge their
batteries.

Introduction
8025-9623 D3
System Features
This iRIM has the following features:
•Remote control of Motorola i365 and i365IS radios through standard tone remote
function tones
•All radio progress tones passed to the console
•Voice delay to compensate for trunked-radio system key-up delays and FSK
signaling
•AGC (automatic gain control) on transmit audio
•Control of two radios per iRIM
•Modular connectors and pre-set levels for easy installation
•Configurable over Ethernet using a standard web browser
•Desk or rack mounting (optional)
Radio and Console Compatibility
•This iRIM connects to Zetron DCS-5020 and ACOM consoles.
•This iRIM is compatible with Motorola iDEN i365 and i365IS radios.
Note Throughout this manual, the notation “i365” applies equally to
either the i365 or i365IS radios.

Installation
!
Caution! This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio
frequency energy. If not installed and used in accordance
with the instruction manual and commonly used radio
practices, it may cause interference to radio
communications. Only personnel experienced with consoles
and radio systems should install the iRIM.
Overview
Figure 2 shows an example system installation. Each radio connects to a port on the
iRIM iDEN i365 Adapter through one of the supplied radio interface cables. Ethernet
cables connect the iRIM Adapters to the iRIMs. The supplied RJ-45 cable, or any
standard eight-conductor RJ-45 cable, such as an Ethernet cable, connects the iRIM to a
punchdown block, which is then wired to the two channels on the console system. The
link between the console system and the iRIM is not limited in distance, so it may be
extended by means such as a leased line. The iRIM may be installed in a standard 19-inch
rack using the optional rack-mount adapter.
Installation of the iRIM is done in two phases:
•Configure system components
•Install and connect system components
Before beginning installation, read all of this section to become familiar with the system.

Required Tools
Common hand tools are used to install the equipment. Additional tools may be needed to
wire to the punchdown block and console system.
Radio Configuration
Most of the radio’s configuration parameters can be set according to your preferences.
However, the following configuration parameters must be set in each iDEN radio to
allow proper operation with the console:
•The baud rate must be set to 19.2kbps. From the radio main menu select:
Settings | Advanced | Baud Rate | 19200
•The audio output level (speaker level) should be set to mid-range. From the radio
main menu select: Settings | Volume | Speaker | 3
DIP Switches
For normal operation, all iRIM DIP switches should be in the default UP position. The
DOWN position is only used in special circumstances during iRIM configuration.
