RTU-292C Operations Manual
3-11
3.7.3.4
The RTU-292C Enters the COMMAND Mode
After the RTU-292C completes the adaptation sequence, it enters the Command Mode and waits
for the caller to respond with commands. In Command Mode the user may enter DTMF
commands by pressing a number on the telephone’s keypad. The unit stays in Command Mode
until the caller gives the * # sequence to hang up. If the caller gives an incorrect command the
unit plays the ERROR tone and gives the “
Invalid Entry
” voice prompt.
When the RTU-292C is used in the command mode, it is connected to a radio system that is ready
to respond to the basic RTU-292C commands. At a minimum, the radio must be turned on and
set to the appropriate frequencies, and the radio audio and PTT input lines must be connected to
the RTU-292C. One of the dipswitches allows the RTU-292C to be put into the Radio Control
Mode via a DTMF command. This mode enables the RTU-292C to control a companion
Motorola URC-200 radio via its RS-232 serial port. See Tables Table 2-9, Table 3-1and Table
3-3.
NOTE
It is important to note that only the distant phone connected to the telephone line is
routed through the DSP and therefore it is the only phone that can use the RTU-
292C's VOX function. The local phone and the unit's handset and keypad do not
have VOX capability. Operators using the handset to communicate via the radio
must always disable the VOX function and manually key and unkey the transmitter.
3.7.4
PLACING A CALL IN THE COMMAND MODE:
When a phone call is initiated by the RTU-292C to a distant phone on the outside line, and the
called party picks up the phone, the unit's DSP will immediately execute the adaptation process.
When it is successful, the RTU-292C responds with the “
READY
” voice prompt. If the DSP
could not adapt, the RTU-292C gives the “
VOX UNAVAILABLE
" prompt, informing the recipient
of the call that he must manually key and unkey the transmitter. All other operation procedures
are the same as when a call is initiated by the distant telephone to the RTU-292C.
3.7.5
TERMINATING A CALL:
There are several different ways to terminate a call.
1.
If the PSTN that the RTU-292C is connected to has “Reverse Battery Signaling” (sometimes
called “line reversal”), the call will be terminated whenever the telephone caller hangs up the
phone. Reverse Battery Signaling is used by most domestic US phone systems, but is not
widely used outside of the US. Reverse Battery Signaling momentarily inverts the tip and
ring lines to signal that a caller has gone back on-hook (hung-up).
2.
The sequence
* #
will cause the system to disconnect. This sequence may be given at ANY
time, even when the system is prompting for input. If Reverse Battery Signaling is not
present, the
* #
termination sequence is always required at the distant phone, as the RTU-
292C will not be aware that the call has been terminated unless the unit receives Busy or
Reorder call progress tones. Otherwise the link will not be disconnected until the inactivity
timer expires (see Table 3-1for information about setting the inactivity timer duration). If the
