Answer Type
When the Model 748 starts an interconnect call to a user (radio) on the channel, it must have a way
of knowing when the called party (user) has answered to connect the parties.
Answer type sets this
parameter for each user (radio).
There are 3 ways to answer a call:
1) “*” to answer, this is the default. The user keys his radio, encoding any required sub-audible
tone/code and sends a DTMF “*” for greater than 500 milliseconds.
2) “PTT” to answer, The user keys his radio, encoding any required sub-audible tone/code. No
DTMF required here.
3) “ANI” to answer, The user keys his radio, encoding any required sub-audible tone/code and
sends his Access ANI.
How to program it:
Access the Model 748 through your direct connected PC or terminal, or remotely from your PC
connected to a modem via the Model 748's internal modem.
Once connected to the Model 748 and the Main Menu is on the screen, type “1” and press ENTER ,
and the Interconnect Menu will appear. Type “3” and press ENTER , the Interconnect User menu will
be displayed using the currently selected user's data. Select the User number you wish to program
(see “User Range” later in this section). Select the item number for
Answer type followed by
ENTER .
The currently selected mode or state will be shown along with a message instructing you to press the
space bar to change the mode or state, and to press
ENTER to accept the current mode or state. Each
time the space bar is pressed, the mode or state changes. Once the mode or state you desire is
displayed, press
ENTER to accept it. Note that if you accidentally pass the mode or state you want,
keep pressing the space bar and the Model 748 will wrap around (when the last choice is displayed,
it will return to the first one).
The default Answer type is “*” to answer for all users.
