Zetron s Intelligent Module (irim) Zetron s Intelligent Module (irim) provides a cost-effective way to integrate new radios with an existing dispatch console system. This maximizes the existing system s capabilities and bridges the gap between it and new radios and radio-signaling schemes. irim supports the conversion of incoming FleetSync PTT-IDs so that they can be displayed on the console. irim also allows dispatch equipment to work with LTR trunked-radio systems and trunked or conventional P25 and NEXEDGE systems.

For equipment capable of decoding and displaying MDC-1200, irim allows the console to display: n Incoming PTT-IDs n Status and emergency IDs For equipment capable of encoding Tone Remote Control (TRC), irim provides control over: n PTT n Privacy-code monitor n Channel or talk-group selection n Repeat/talk-around and coded/clear Zetron s irim supports Kenwood radios,,, and NX 700/800. Model 250 Tone Remote Adapter Zetron s Model 250 Tone Remote Adapter adapts to most base station radios so they can be controlled by a desktop remote or console.
