3-5
8. Port #1 Timeout Enable
Port #1 time-out is user programmable with the [*601*] timer programming commands. When the
CAT-250 is initialized, this timer defaults to 3 minutes. When this channel is turned off, the repeater,
port #1 will not timeout.
1. Port #2 Transmitter Enable
This channel must be enabled for link operation. This channel will automatically be enabled after a
dipswitch #7 initialization reset.
2. Port #2 COR and CTCSS Enable
When this channel is enabled, in addition to a COR input at J2-5, an input from a CTCSS decoder at J2-
3 must also be present before the repeater will activate. A COR input by itself will have no affect.
3. Port #2 COR or CTCSS Enable
When this channel is enabled, the COR and CTCSS inputs will function as a (OR) logic input. This
means activity on either the COR or CTCSS inputs will cause the controller to key the repeater's
transmitter.
4. Port #2 Turn on Delay Enable
When this channel is enabled, a deliberate and sustained input on Port #2 must be present before the
controller will activate the repeater. A time delay of 0.1 to 9.9 seconds can be selected with the
[*624*] programming command. When the CAT-250 is initialized, this timer defaults to 1.0 seconds.
This channel is useful during periods when noise bursts are present on the transceiver input.
5. Port #2 DTMF Pad Test Enable
When this channel is enabled, a repeater user is able to perform a test of their radio's 12 or 16-button
keypad through Port #2. As the numbers are being decoded, they are stored in memory. When the
repeater user stops transmitting the controller will read back all the numbers that were decoded. The
Forced DTMF Entry key is defaulted to the [D] key. It must be entered last and it will not read back
during the pad test.
6. Port #2 Auto Disconnect Enable
When this channel is enabled, the link will disconnect automatically after a period of repeater inactivity.
The voice will say: “LINK TIME OUT”. A repeater or transceiver COR will keep the link activate until
the repeater returns to rest. A rest period of up to 29 minutes can be selected with the [*607*]
programming command. When the CAT-250 is initialized, this timer defaults to 10 minutes.
