The auxiliary DVR input is intended for use by the FF-800 control autopatch. This signal is available on
the FF-800 P20. When executing this command, the DVR response will be "In A" if the selected input
source is main, or "In B" if auxiliary. As long as the input source = aux, the normal COS detection for the
DVR is suspended and the DVR looks for a DTMF digit to simulate a COS signal. Any time the DVR
would normally look for a COS, it will now look for any DTMF digit. Recording starts as soon as the
digit is released. Loss of COS is simulated by another DTMF DIGIT (again, it may be any digit) and
recording stops as soon as the digit is detected. Also, as long as source = aux, a DTMF digit press will
interrupt any playback in progress. If no record or playback command is received for 5 minutes, the
source will automatically revert to main. The letter "B" is appended to the "DVR" and "Test" prompts for
the Record system track, and Audio Test functions when source = aux.

This function waits for a COS signal (or any DTMF digit if input = aux.) to begin recording on the
test track. After the loss of COS (or another DTMF digit, if input = aux.), the test track is played
back. The maximum record time for the test track is 20 seconds. There is a time-out limit of 5
seconds after the command entry -- if no COS is engaged within this time, the record operation is
aborted.

There are two parts to a voice mail message, the first is the address header and the second is the
voice message itself. The address header is a brief description of to whom the message is intended
(i.e., the person's call sign, or "TO ALL HAMS", etc...). The maximum time for a mail track is
20 seconds which includes the message and address. The DVR uses system tracks 00 through 06
to prompt the entry of voice mail. If any of these tracks are empty, the FF-8070 will respond "M
P" (Mail Prompt) and the track number for the particular prompt in question. The following list
describes these special system track numbers and their prompt function:
