CONFIGURATIONS
System Configuration
The configurations of the OSMAC Base Station can easily be modified to suit the user’s requirements. The system con-
figuration mode can be accessed by holding the “1” key during power up. It can also be accessed by simultaneously
pressing the “CTRL” and “MENU” key from an external keyboard such as the central computer. The base station will
respond with the password prompt. The password for the Configuration Mode is 1590. The system configuration menu is
shown on page 4 as a guide to locate the parameters to be configured.
Use the arrow keys to cycle through the configuration menu. To select from the menu, enter the number designated to
that option. To change any of the parameters, simply scroll or enter the number designated to the desired option. In the
case where numerical value needs to be entered, use the keypad to enter digits. Press “F1” to confirm and accept the
selection. Press the “–” key to exit from the sub-menus and return to the upper level menus. To exit the configuration
mode, press the “–” key until the “Pager No=” prompt is shown. New configuration(s) and/or value(s) are not permanent-
ly stored until the Configuration Mode is properly exited using the “–” key. If the unit is turned off, or power is lost before
the “–” key is entered, changes to the configuration will not be saved.

autopatch session automatically. This is needed in case the two-way-radio user's batteries fails or the user is out of
range. To access from the main System Configuration menu, enter “3” for Mode Selection, then enter “5” for the Auto
Timer selection.

“DEL” key to correct invalid entries. Press the “–” key to exit the menu. Setting the Autopatch Timer to a value of “0” will
disable the autopatch operation.

This mode allows the user to select whether audible tones or voice prompts are used to confirm radio and phone opera-
tions with the OSMAC Base Station. To access from the main System Configuration menu, enter “3” for mode selection,
then enter “2” for Busy Channel Lockout. To access from the main System Configuration menu, enter “3” for Mode
