RTU-292C PASSWORD PROTECTION 

The password protection feature is enabled by a dipswitch setting (SW1-5, see Table 2-11 Table 
2-1. 
 When passwords are enabled, access to the system is denied unless a user enters the correct 
password.  The same password applies both to access via telephone and via a radio (if the DTMF 
Radio Access feature is used).  Users are given three tries to correctly enter the system password 
before the RTU-292C terminates the call attempt and returns to its waiting state. 

The system assists the user in entering the password using Voice and Tone Prompts (if the Voice 
Prompt Option is installed), or simply with Tone Prompts. 
The factory default password is “

1 2 3 4

”, and this password can be changed to any DTMF or 

numerical  value  up  to  10  characters  in  length.    To  change  the  password,  first  enter  the 
programming mode by entering ‘

* 9 9

”.  If passwords are currently enabled, it will be necessary 

to enter the correct password to continue programming.  From the programming mode, enter “

1 x x x #

” where “x x x” is the new password, up to 10 characters long.  Next enter “* #” to leave 

the programming mode. 

3.7.8

 

INACTIVITY DISCONNECT TIMER 

The inactivity disconnect timer ensures that the system does not remain locked up on a completed 
call if system users forget to or are unable to terminate a call by normal means.  The inactivity 
timer samples audio from both the radio and the telephone.  If no activity is detected for a time 
equal to the Inactivity Disconnect Timer setting, the RTU-292C will notify the users by three 
short beeps that they have five seconds to respond or the call will be terminated.  If either the 
radio user or the PSTN caller initiates activity within 5 seconds of the warning beeps, the timer 
is reset. 

Inactivity  Disconnect  Timer  lengths  of  2  minutes  to  120  minutes  (or  disabled)  are  available.  
Enter “

* 9 9

” to enter the programming mode, then “

* 2 x

” to set the timer.  The value of x sets 

the timer length.  See Table 3-2 for the list of timer durations.  The value of x = 0 will disable the 
timer so that the connection may be maintained indefinitely.  Unless a permanent connection is 
required,  disabling  the  timer  is  not  recommended.    If  the  telephone  caller  does  not  correctly 
terminate the call, the unit can become locked up in the connected state.  Once the desired timer 
length is set, enter “

* #

” to leave the programming mode. 

3.7.9

 

CALLING TIMER 

The Calling Timer determines how long the RTU-292C will attempt to place a telephone call.  
Once the timer expires, the RTU-292C terminates the attempt.  Note that if the unit detects a busy 
signal  or  other  feedback  that  indicates  that  the  call  cannot  be  placed,  the  attempt  will  be 
immediately terminated.
