Csc ID12 Miniature Coding Board MDC-1200 Initial and final ID

The CSC ID12 Miniature Coding Board is a compact MDC-1200 encoding module designed for seamless integration into professional two-way radio communication systems. Built around the widely adopted MDC-1200 signaling protocol, this board enables radios to transmit Automatic Number Identification and Emergency Number Identification signals, giving fleet operators and dispatch centers reliable visibility into which unit is transmitting and the ability to receive priority emergency alerts. The board supports both initial ID and final ID transmission sequences, ensuring that identification bursts are sent at the appropriate points in a transmission cycle. Its design accommodates both analog and digital squelch-controlled radio environments, making it a versatile addition to mixed or evolving radio fleets. A built-in PTT timer protection function guards against unintended or prolonged key-ups, helping to preserve both radio hardware and channel availability. Field-programmable configuration support allows technicians to tailor the board's behavior to the specific requirements of a deployment without returning equipment to a service depot. For professional installers, system integrators, and radio fleet managers, the ID12 offers a practical, miniature solution for adding robust identification and emergency signaling capability to existing radio infrastructure.

Key features & benefits

• MDC-1200 Protocol Encoding — Operates on the widely supported MDC-1200 signaling standard, enabling reliable communication of identification data across professional radio networks.
• ANI and ENI Signaling Support — Transmits Automatic Number Identification and Emergency Number Identification, giving dispatchers and operators clear unit identification and immediate awareness of emergency activations.
• Initial and Final ID Transmission — Sends identification bursts at both the start and conclusion of a transmission, ensuring continuous and accurate unit identification throughout a radio conversation.
• PTT Timer Protection — Incorporates a push-to-talk timer protection function that limits exposure from intentional or accidental key-up events, protecting the radio and the shared channel.
• Analog and Digital Squelch Compatibility — Functions within both analog carrier squelch and digital tone squelch environments, supporting a broad range of existing and mixed-technology radio deployments.
• Miniature Form Factor — Compact physical design allows the board to be integrated into radio equipment with minimal impact on available space inside the host device.
• Field-Programmable Configuration — Supports optional field programming, enabling qualified technicians to configure the board on-site to match specific fleet identification and signaling requirements.
