3.
Specify the site number you would like to contact. For example, to contact
site number 5, enter
##5##
.
It takes Maxicom
2
approximately 30 seconds to contact a site. You will hear
wait beeps, which are short beeps occurring once every second.
• If you entered a valid site number, you will hear the OK beep.
• If you entered an invalid site number, you will hear the error beep. If you
hear the error beep, enter a valid site number.
4.
Verify that you are on-line with the site by entering
##
.
• If you are on-line with the site, you will hear two short beeps.
• If you are not on-line with the site, you will hear one short beep.
Repeat steps 3 and 4 to try to contact the site again.
5.
Enter commands for the site. For example, if you want to turn on channel
three, station twelve, for five minutes, you would enter
##1#3#12#5## .
• If you entered the command correctly, you will hear the OK beep.
• If you entered the command incorrectly, you will hear the error beep. If
you hear the error beep, enter the command again.
6.
When you have finished entering commands for the site, enter
#
and then
hang up the phone.
Contacting different sites with one phone call
There may be times when you want to contact a site immediately after you have
contacted a different site (i.e., if site 5 is on one side of the road and site 6 on the
other). Or you may want to send some commands to control Maxicom
2 , which is
site 0, and with the same phone call, send commands to one or more of the other
sites. With just one phone call, you can send commands to one site and immedi-
ately call another site.
For the example mentioned above where site 5 is on one side of the road and site 6
on the other, you would:
1.
Contact site 5 and send the commands you want.
2.
Use command 8 (##8##) to tell Maxicom
2
to hang up with that site.
3.
You will hear the “wait” beep. (It takes Maxicom 2 approximately 10 seconds
to hang up with a site.)
4.
After Maxicom
2
has hung up, you will hear the “OK” beep.
You are then ready to select a different site, enter a new site number, then enter the
commands. This process of going from one site to another within the same phone
call can be repeated indefinitely.
