EDACS REPEATERS

Description of tests
Call From Radio
The Service Monitor is called from another radio, repeater or dispatcher. This accepts individual,
emergency or group call types.
Upon initialization, the test title is displayed.
The Service Monitor is tuned to the correct RF frequencies. The message
ACTIVE **** PRESS PTT ****
is displayed.
If the
USE ACCESSORY PORT
parameter is set to
ON
, the accessory port is set at this point in the
test. Note that the accessory port is not cleared at the end of this test.
The Service Monitor waits to receive a call assignment frame from the repeater. If the correct
frame is not received within the time specified in the
TIMEOUT
parameter, then the message
*FAIL* NO RESPONSE
is displayed and the test exits.
When all of the required address information has been received, the Service Monitor retunes to the
working channel obtained from the call assignment message.
The number which the unit has been called by is displayed in the form of a logical identity.
Other messages are:
PASSED WORKING CHANNEL
Other failure messages are:

The Service Monitor is cleared down by another radio or the dispatcher.
Upon initialization, the test title is displayed and the Service Monitor checks that it is in
conversation. Otherwise, the message

The flashing message
ACTIVE **** RELEASE PTT ****
is displayed and the Service Monitor waits
to receive a disconnect from the repeater.
If the
USE ACCESSORY PORT
parameter is set to
ON
, the accessory port is cleared at this point
in the test.
If nothing is received within the time specified in the TIMEOUT parameter, the message

is displayed and the test is terminated.
The Service Monitor is then re-tuned to the correct control channel.
The message '
