Chapter 3 - Repeater Control
The CAT-800 has eight control zones with eight control channels each. These zones can be manually
controlled by DTMF commands; user and event macros and logic input action. The first three zones are
assigned to control the three ports. Zones 4 and Zone 8 are global control zones common to all three
ports. Zone 5 controls the five user logic inputs while Zone 6 controls the five user output switches.
Zone 9 is reserved for control of the various Internet functions. NOTE: The procedures described in this
chapter are control functions not programming functions. DO NOT UNLOCK the controller with the
seven-digit number before trying to control these nine zone channels.
Interrogation of Repeater Control Status
Key-up and send the Port #1 control operator code [100] followed by the zone number and a zero. Un-
key and the voice will read back the channels that are turned on in that zone. Example: Read Zone 2
control status. If all the channels are turned off, the voice will say: "CLEAR."
Un-key and the voice will say: "ONE- FIVE- EIGHT"
Changing Repeater Control Status
To change the status of a control function, key-up and send the Port #1 control operator code followed
by the zone number, channel number in that zone and a [1] to turn the control channel ON or a [0] to
turn the control channel OFF. Un-key and the voice will read back the zone, channel number and control
activity.
Example: Turn Zone 2 Channel 1 ON through the Port #1 receiver.
Un-key and the voice will say: "TWO ONE ON."
Control of the CAT-800 is also available through the Port #2 and Port #3 receivers. The procedure is the
same as above however the default control operator code for Port #2 is [200] and Port #3 is [300].
