Maximum Account Limits
When the monitoring station is giving the installer a radio
MAN for the Sure Signal to report to, there should be no more
that 1000 accounts reporting to a single receiver line that has
a Mobitex radio host.
User programming
Option 01: linecard number
Option 0F: mute buzzer
Option 02: linecard number length
Option 2C: network name to printer
Option 2D: network list to printer
Option 2E: change to other network
Option 72: com. select
Option 73: printer select
Option 74: equivalent line
Option 75: receiver number
Note: all other options will be set as reserved.
Option 01: Linecard Number, this sets the Physical number on the
linecard and all reports are reported using this linecard number.
Option 0F: Mute Buzzer option. This option is for enabling and
disabling the buzzer.
Option 02: Linecard Number Length, which sets the length of
the physical number on the linecard.
Option 2C: Current Network Request, when this option is enabled
to 01, the DRL-MX will send a request network name to the
radio. The network will respond with the current network name
and the printer will print:
L11-Cantel
L11
- Receiver and linecard number
Cantel - Current Network Name
Option 2D: Request Network list, when this option is enabled
to 01, the DRL-MX will send a network list to the radio. The
radio will respond with the reply network list and the printer
will then print:
L11- 01 Cantel
L11- 02 Bell
L11- 03 BCBell
L11- 04 SackBell
If option 2E is entered, then the network names should be
saved in RAM until programming is exited.
Option 2E: Change Network, in this option enter the number
of the requested network, or 00 in order to exit the section
without changing the network. When a nonzero is entered, the
DRL-MX will send another change to the network via radio.
The radio will respond to the current network name:
Accepted – new network name will come up to the printer
Declined – old network name will come up to the printer
If 00 is entered – the receiver will request the network name.
Once the programming mode has been exited, or a network has
been selected, then the network list can be removed from RAM.
Note: The current network name is not stored in the receiver.
Option 72: Computer Select option. This option is used for
enabling and disabling computer output.
Option 73: Printer Select option. This option is used for enabling
40/80 column printer or disabling printer output.
Option set to: 00 Disabled
01 40 column printer Enabled
03 80 column printer Enabled
Option 74: Equivalent Line. This option is used for reporting
a different line number on the printer and computer, but the
linecard still keeps the characteristics of its physical number.
Option 75: Receiver Number, this sets the Physical number on the
receiver and all reports are reported using this receiver number.
