5.5.7 REPEATER SETUP menu
5.5.7.1 Repeat Control option
Allows the DDU to control access to a repeater.
Causes the DDU to assert a PTT output to a repeater
upon receipt of either: (1) any ANI in the format
decoded by the DDU or (2) a valid User ID in the user
database. To restrict repeater access to valid User ID’s
only, the
Ignore Nonuser
option in the
ENC/DEC
SETUP
must be turned ON. Otherwise, any incoming
ANI of the proper format will be considered valid.
Other possible uses of the Repeat Control option
include operation of a horn relay or the enabling of a
PA speaker. Repeater control output can either be the
PTT output, or the MONITOR output (see below).
OFF
Repeater
control
disabled.
ON
Repeater control is enabled.
5.5.7.2 Validate Time setting
This sets how long after COR becomes active, that the
repeater will be keyed prior to receiving a valid decode.
This allows time for the incoming ANI to be broadcast
by the repeater before it has been validated. If no ANI
(or valid User ID) has been decoded during this time,
the repeater will be un-keyed. The repeater will remain
un-keyed until COR goes inactive.
If set to 0, the repeater will not be keyed until after the
ANI (or valid User ID) has been decoded.
Range:
00 to 99 10ths of a second (0.0 - 9.9 s)
Default:
10 10ths of a second (1.0 second)
5.5.7.3 PTT Hang Time setting
Once validation has occurred, this sets how long the
repeater will remain keyed after COR goes inactive.
Once the hang timer expires, a new validation will be
required to access the repeater.
Range:
00 to 99 10ths of a second (0.0 - 9.9 s)
Default:
20 10ths of a second (2.0 seconds)
5.5.7.4 Hang Reset setting
This setting specifies what is required to reset the PTT
hang timer before it expires. This can either be COR
or COR+ANI. When set to COR, the hang timer will be
reset if COR goes active prior to expiration, allowing
the conversation to continue without a new validation.
When set to COR+ANI, a new valid ANI will also be
required to keep the repeater open.
COR
Reset hang timer if COR goes active
before the hang time expires.
COR+ANI
Require both COR and an ANI (or
valid User ID) to reset the hang timer
before expiration.
5.5.7.5 Repeater Out setting
This setting specifies which output is used to put the
repeater into transmit mode when Repeat Control is
enabled.
PTT
PTT output used to key repeater in
Repeat Control mode.
MONITOR
MONITOR output used to key repeater
in Repeat Control mode.
5.5.8 STATUS
SETUP
menu
5.5.8.1 Status Feature option
When enabled, the Status Feature always treats the
last digit of an incoming ANI as a status digit. The last
digit of the ANI is not actually displayed. Instead the
user's ANI and
Status Message
are displayed
alternately (every 2 seconds).
When the Status Feature is enabled, it will be required
that all units send an extra digit after their ANI. See the
section on
Status Display Feature
for more
information.
OFF
Disable
status
feature.
ON
Enable status feature.
5.5.8.2 Emergency Status option
When enabled, the Emergency Status option treats
any ANI with
9
as the last digit as an
Emergency ANI.
When an Emergency ANI comes in, the PWR-ALM
LED flashes rapidly between green and orange.
Optionally, the
Emerg Siren
sound can be enabled to
alert the system operator of the emergency situation.
The Emergency Status option may be used alone, or in
conjunction with the
Status Feature
option. When
used alone, the digit '9' will appear and the status
message is not displayed. Also, the User Name in the
database will not be properly displayed.
When used in conjunction with the
Status Feature
, the
'9' will not be displayed. Instead,
Status 9 Msg
will be
displayed (unless it is blank), alternating with the ANI.
The User Name in the database will be properly
displayed.
OFF
Display ID’s not in database.
ON
Ignore ID’s not in database.
5.5.8.3 Status 0 Msg setting
Allows you to specify the status message displayed
when using the
Status Feature
. When using this
feature, the last digit of the ANI will be used to
determine the status. There is a status message for
each of the digits 0 through 9. Each status message
may be up to 10 alphanumeric characters.
Range:
0-10 characters
Default:
blank
