Using Mode 6 to call a transceiver not listed in the Call Book
Mode 6 will accept the command ATD####### where #######is any arbitraary modem ID
(serial number) such as 2340179. Upon receipt of this command the modem will call that
modem even though the number is not in the sending modem’s Call Book. The modem will
use the repeater(s) specified in the Call Book. This means it is now possible to call an
unlimited number of slaves through script files in mode 6 and have up to 10 different
repeater combimations.
To use the new features the following steps should be followed:
1. If one or two repeaters are to be used they must first be set up in the Call Book. This
would be done by setting up a number to call (this may be a dummy number) through
the repeaters(s) which you wish to use.
2. Issure the command ATXC# where # corresponds to the position in the Call Book where
the repeater(s) is/are located.
3. Issure the command ATD####### where ####### is the ID (serial number) of the
transceiver with which you are attempting a link. The transceiver will link first to the
repeater(s) specified and then to the slave transceiver.
4. If you wish to link to a different slave, this time without using a repeater, it is imperative
that you reissue the ATXC# command, with # being either a position in the Call Book
that contains no repeaters or the letter A. When the command ATXCA is issured the
modem is instructed to Call All and no repeaters are used.
The Slave security may be disabled so that a modem operating as a slave (Modes 1,4, and
6) will connect to a modem calling it regardless of whether the calling modem is in the
slave’s Call Book. This feature is necessary when there are more than 10 transceivers which
may call into a slave and will allow any of the units in the system to call in. An entry exists
in the Edit Radio Characteristics Menu so that this feature can be enabled or disabled.
Changing the User Interface settings in Mode 6:
When in Mode 6 the settings in AutoWAVE’s user interface may be changed directly
without use of the reset button. This is accomplished by the following:
1. Enter a new entry under
Call Online Service
(such as AutoWAVE Setup).
2. Establish a hardware setup entry for the AutoWAVE transceiver with the following
settings: (See Table 4)
3. Instruct pcANYWHERE to run a script file after connection (under advanced Host PC
settings). This script file should contain the following lines:
SEND STRING “ATXS”
END TERMINAL
