Tail Messages
There are 3 Tail Messages per port, which can be "played" based on either the number of repeater "tails" (hang time) or based on the
Periodic Message Timer. Each Tail Message may be programmed to use one of the 90 Command Macros (which are generally used to
play a spoken message).
*2110 x y
where x is the Tail Message number (1 - 3) and y is the Command Macro to use (1 - 90).
To select which Tail Message is to be used:
*2111 x
where x is the Tail Message Number to use 1, 2 or 3.
Note: Setting the Tail Message Number to 0 turns off all Tail Messages on that Port
To play a Tail Message based on the number of tails:
*2112 x
where x is the number of repeater tails from 1 to 254
To play a Tail Message based on the Periodic Message Timer:
*1020 x
Set the Period Message Timer to play the selected Tail Message x seconds after the last Hangtime expiration.
Note that it is possible to play a Tail Message based on both the Tail Counter AND the Period Message Timer. If you only want to use
Tail Messages based on the Tail Counter, program the Period Message Timer to 0, which will disable it. Conversely, If you only want to
use Tail Messages based on the Periodic Message Timer, program the Tail Timer to 0, which will disable it.
Tail Messages may be turned ON and OFF "on the fly" by using their appropriate Macro Function. See the Macro Function List for their
Function Number.
Note: Tail Messages only work on Ports defined as repeating.
Some Practical Examples Of Tail Message Programming
In this example, we will program Tail Message 1 to play Message Macro 1 every 10 tails:
We've recorded DVR Track 1 which says "The ARC will hold its meeting tonight at 7 PM" which will be called by Command Macro 10:
First, we program Command Macro 10 to play DVR Track 1
*4002 10 126
Note that we do not need to use a Port Steering Function in this Macro as the RC210 knows to send Tail Message speech out the proper Port.
You can however, include a Port Steering Function if you desire.
Now we program Tail Message 1 to use Command Macro 10
*2110 1 10
Next, we program this port to use Tail Message 1
*2111 1
Next, we program the Tail Counter to count 10 repeater tails:
*2112 10
Finally, we disable the Periodic Message Timer
*1020 0
Now DVR Track 1 will be sent every 10 repeater tails.
