[Dispatch] MDC AVLA-AVCL

[Chelf, Andrew]

Please pass this on to your personnel. AFD Dispatch continues to get calls from crew asking about this.

        MDC users may have noticed that the AVLA function is currently placing them in AVCL status. This is functioning as intended.  AVLA status from the MDC has been determined to be the root cause of multiple CAD malfunctions.  AVCL assigns units based off the unit GPS data, if functioning, and last known location (last call address OR station address) if it is not. This is a temporary 'fix' until TRITEC can find and correct the bug with AVLA, at which point Fire Communications Staff will enable AVLA.  No action or change in behavior is required of the user in the field. Please do not contact Dispatch about this discrepancy.

                                                           Thank you,


Captain Andrew Chelf
