switches to the Kilostream link, and continually transmits minimal data
to try to establish a link to the remote unit. When the Kilostream link is
repaired or restored, Talkwire is then able to make a satisfactory
connection, indicating that the data link is up and passing data..
7.6 LOCAL Mode
An active Talkwire link has certain functions which enable you to
command the actions of a remote KBU 64 without having full command
of the remote COMMAND port. This state is called Local Mode.
Under non-Talkwire operating conditions, you have seen that
CONNECT,
DISCONNECT, HANGUP and RESTORE commands, must be issued at
both ends of a link (either automatically or manually). However, this is
not the case if Talkwire is active.
If you issue any of these commands during a Talkwire session, the
command will be actioned just as if it had been issued at both ends. The
LOCAL command is also used to revert from Remote configuration, as
detailed later in this guide.
7.7 REMOTE Mode
REMOTE is the Talkwire command which is used to gain access to the
COMMAND port of the remote KBU 64, with which you have an active
Talkwire link.
In this example: From the command line prompt;
1> REMOTE[CR]
the system responds;
1: REMOTE MODE ACTIVATED
A1: REMOTE MODE REQUEST ACTIVATED
A1> _
The first line shows the command request being entered, from channel 1
of the local KBU 64, followed by a confirmation of the request.
The third and fourth lines are in fact an echo from the remote
COMMAND port, confirming that it has received and actioned a remote
request, and finally the command line prompt of the remote unit.
