Unit Description.
The DRC-32 desk-top controller from A.W. Communication Systems Limited
embodies the very latest hardware and software technology, thus maximising
functionality and reducing physical size of a radio control system operators unit to
that of a desk-top telephone unit.
Users of the DRC-32 can pre-select up to seven DS-32 channels for their individual
use. The operator can then select any one of the seen channels to transmit out on. A
monitor facility is provided to monitor the pre-selected channels without the transmit
function.
Only when a channel is selected will a transmission take place on that channel. Where
multiple operators have a channel in their pre-select groups, each operator can
monitor the outgoing audio from the other operators thus providing a fully informed
system.
The following is a brief description of the facilities available at your fingertips, all of
which are designed to enhance the radio facilities and ease the operator burden.
Please Note
The DRC-32 at your desktop will have been configured by your system supplier and
as such, may or may not have some of the features described herein enabled for your
use. Your supplier will help with any questions you may have regarding correct
operation and configuration.
Multiple Audio Paths.
The DRC1 will support operation using the built in loudspeaker and microphone, the
handset, which forms part of the unit, a plug in operator headset, and interconnection
with the telephone system. The DRC-1 also provides an audio input/output for use
with recording devices.
Individual Calling
Individual calling is the ability to call an individual mobile or portable radio terminal
using a uniquely allocated number. Having called the mobile resource, your
conversation with that mobile will not be overheard by the remainder of the fleet.
In an Individual calling system, a mobile wishing to communicate with a control room
operative makes a call using the unique number and the DRC-32 will either display
the call, or place it into a special queue to await operator call back.
It is also possible for the operator to call Groups of mobiles in order to make a
broadcast announcement or request.
