The GenWatch3 CADI port is shipped as part of each GW3-HO1-B (Host bundle) package. To allow as close to 'plug and play' as possible, we have matched the SIMSII CADI information and protocol (this is not compatible with CAD systems that only operate on the SiteLens CADI port). We have licensed our CADI in the GW3-HO1-B to be able to connect and service up to four (4) concurrent CAD systems. Each CAD connection can be filtered to receive a customized set of data and perform a customizable set of commands (based on their role as a user).  The encoding of the information to and from the CADI must be via RS-232 (to conform with the SIMSII CADI specification) and it can be either in ASCII or EBCDIC format. You can also elect to have GW3 to acknowledge commands that are sent in from a radio or you can elect to have your CAD be the point of acknowledgement.

CADI Port

CADI Commands Summary Bi-directional commands to and from CAD systems via the CADI port
Command	Description
Call Alert Send	Used to alert a specific radio
Emergency Alarm Acknowledge	Tells GW3 that it has received the information about a radio that has pressed his Emergency button
Silence Emergency Alarm	Allows the CAD system to silence any audible or visual indication of an Emergency Alarm
Dynamic Regrouping Radios / Cancel Regroup	Allows radios from various Talkgroups to be joined together or reassigned to different Talkgroups over the air
Lock Selector	Part of Dynamic Regroup
Unlock Selector	Part of Dynamic Regroup
Failsoft Channel Assignment / Cancel Failsoft Assignment	Part of Dynamic Regroup
Change Me	Part of Dynamic Regroup. This allows the CAD to act on Change Me requests from radios. NOTE: This function is NOT implemented in SIMSII CADI, but it IS implemented in GW3 CADI
Run Storm Plan / Cancel Storm Plan	Allows the CAD system to call up a predefined Storm Plan that is in GW3 and run that Storm Plan
Get Radio Affiliation	Sends a 'ping' to a certain radio to determine the Talkgroup that it is currently affiliated with.
Inhibit Radio	Makes a radio inoperable.
Cancel Inhibit Radio	Brings the radio back to life
Update Radio	Allows the CAD to update the Radio's CADI alias with a new Alias. NOTE: While GW3 allows radio aliases up to 200 characters, the SIMSII CADI specification only allows 8 character radio aliases.
CADI Output Messages to a CAD System
Command	Description
Radio Alias & ID	Self Explanatory
Talkgroup / Announcement Group	This is the ID
Clear or Coded	Self Explanatory
Call Alert, Failsoft, Selector Enable, Selector Disable, Regroup, Radio Affiliation, Change Me, and Storm Plan Responses	Notifies the CAD of the results of a command
Cancel: Call Alert, Failsoft, Selector Enable, Selector Disable, Regroup, Radio Affiliation, Change Me, and Storm Plan Responses	Notifies the CAD of the results of a Cancel command
Emergency Alarm Notifications	Self Explanatory
Push-to-talk (PTT) Notification	Sends to the CAD information about the radio CADI alias, call type, time, Talkgroup CADI alias, if it is a patch call, clear or coded,
Message & Status Notification	Sends notification to the CAD that a radio has pressed a particular Status or Message button.
There are miscellaneous other 'housekeeping' commands and messages that come across the CADI port. All filtering and error messages that existed in the SIMSII CADI are preserved in the GW3 CADI.

Additional Helpful GW3 CADI Information The connection point for the GW3 CADI is via the 16 port RocketPort breakout box. All ports on this box are DB25F (25 pin female). The cable length from the GW3 Host PC and the RocketPort breakout box is three (3) feet. There is an optional 10' extension cable available. The box can be mounted with velcro tape or 'L' mounting ears to any convenient flat surface. In specialty needs situations, Genesis can provide assistance with rackmount RS232 RJ45 interfaces and other options. These are available from Genesis or directly from Comtrol Corporation, the maker of the RocketPort. The 4 CADI ports available will be clearly labeled on the breakout box. Use good RS232 techniques regarding maximum cable lengths, shielding, etc. This can make the difference in a successful and problematic installation. The CADI filtering and connection setup is done within the GenWatch3 Halcyon module.        Derived from Motorola SIMSII CADI User's Guide 68P81086E25-E (04/30/98)
