Port Linking
Monitoring A Port from Other Ports
Any port may be selectively monitored by any other port. In the RC210, with multiple monitor commands you can create any
combination of monitoring from port to port. This provides considerable flexibility in audio routing. Each of these monitoring commands
is a
one-way
connection. In other words, if you select to monitor Port 2 from Port 1, activity on Port 1 will not be retransmitted on Port 2.
To create a two-way path between ports, you have two choices. You can either establish 2, one-way connections between ports or you
could use the Linking Commands (this is explained below).
Assume you're on Port 1 and want to monitor activity on Port 2. Enter the command
1301
and a one-way connection is established,
allowing the monitoring
of
Port 2
by
Port 1. Now, activity on Port 2 is retransmitted out Port 1, but Port 1 is not retransmitted out Port 2.
It doesn’t matter what port is used to issue these commands.
1301
Monitor Port 2 From Port 1 ON
2301
Monitor Port 1 From Port 2 ON
3301
Monitor Port 1 From Port 3 ON
1300
Monitor Port 2 From Port 1 OFF*
2300
Monitor Port 1 From Port 2 OFF*
3300
Monitor Port 1 From Port 3 OFF*
1311
Monitor Port 3 From Port 1 ON
2311
Monitor Port 3 From Port 2 ON
3311
Monitor Port 2 From Port 3 ON
1310
Monitor Port 3 From Port 1 OFF*
2310
Monitor Port 3 From Port 2 OFF*
3310
Monitor Port 2 From Port 3 OFF*
After monitoring for a while, you decide you want to join in the conversation. By issuing the command
2301
, activity on Port 1 is now
retransmitted out Port 2. In other words, there is now a two-way connection between Ports 1 & 2.
A two-way connection made in the above manner can be taken down by first turning off monitoring from the port you are on from being
monitored by the other port. Then stop monitoring that other port with a second command. For example, if you have a two-way monitor
between Ports 1 and 2, and you are actively using Port 1, send the command
2300
first so Port 1 activity does not appear on Port 2,
then send
1300
to stop monitoring Port 2. It can be taken down the other way, but if there is an interruption you will be transmitting Port
1 audio on Port 2 and not realize when Port 2 is busy.
Linking Ports Quickly
You may also establish two-way connections (linking) between ports quickly and easily by using only one command. Likewise, you can
also disconnect (unlink) ports using these commands.
Note: Even if you established port monitoring using the Monitor Commands above,
you may use the Linking Commands to turn them off or modify them. In other words, the Linking Commands take precedence over
Monitoring commands.

User DTMF Pad Test
By using this feature, users can test their DTMF pads to make sure their digits are being properly decoded by the RC210. By sending
the
User DTMF Pad Test Command Prefix, followed by up to 16 digits, the RC210 will read back each digit it correctly decodes.
< User DTMF Pad Test Command Prefix> <up to 16 DTMF digits>
See the Programming Section of this manual for programming the Command Prefix for this feature.
