Dispatch Override
When a phone caller attempts to make a call and the channel is busy, the Model 748 will send busy
tone to the caller or Voice prompt #7 until the channel clears or becomes quiet (three seconds of no
channel activity).
Dispatch override , when enabled, no longer requires the three seconds of quiet
time on the channel to allow the call to proceed. A typical use of this function would be when distant
co-channel carrier disallows normal use of the Model 748. When enabled,
Dispatch Override will
also override any repeater panel in operation (even local ones), in effect giving priority to the
incoming phone line.
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 ,
the Interconnect Menu will be displayed. Type “2” and press ENTER to display the Telco System
menu. Select the item number for Dispatch override and press
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 setting for Dispatch override is “Disabled”.
