Ringouts Sent to Mobile
When a mobile-to-mobile or telephone-to-mobile call is placed there is a specified number of
Ringouts sent to mobile . Regardless of the number of ringouts, the mobile has the Mobile answer
time to answer the call, before it is terminated as “No Answer”. So, if the number of Ringouts sent to
mobile is set to a large value, and the Mobile answer time is set to a short value, not all of the rings
will be sent to the mobile.
Each ring on the channel takes about six seconds; two seconds of ring, and four seconds of silence,
so six rings takes about 36 seconds. If you look at the defaults for the ringouts and answer time, you
will notice that the number of ringouts = 6 which is 36 seconds of ringing, but the answer time is set
to only 30 seconds. This means that only about five rings (30 seconds) go out to the mobile before
the call is terminated. In this case, by setting the number of
Ringouts sent to mobile to something
greater than the Mobile answer time , you are assured that ringing occurs until the mobile answers or
until the Mobile answer time expires. Separate control over these two functions may seem a little
confusing but it provides flexibility. For example, with separate controls, you can make the Model
748 ring on the channel one time and wait 60 seconds for a mobile to answer. You do this by setting
the number of
Ringouts sent to mobile to “1”, and the Mobile answer time to 60 seconds. Note that
the transmitter will remain keyed during the answer time to keep the channel busy until the mobile
answers the call. If the mobile does not answer, five short beeps will be sent to the telephone caller
indicating that the call is being terminated, and the Model 748 will hang up. If the mobile doesn't
answer the call, the Call detail record will contain a note indicating that there was no answer.
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 “1” and press
ENTER
, the Mobile System menu will
be displayed. Select the item number for Ringout sent to mobile and press
ENTER
. The current
setting for the Ringouts sent to mobile will appear along with a message instructing you to enter the
new value and the range of values you may enter. Enter the new number of ringouts and press
ENTER
when you have finished.
The default for the number of Ringouts sent to mobile is 6 rings and may be programmed anywhere
from 1 ring to 10 rings.
Application Note:
When calling a mobile, if the channel is busy, busy tone or Voice prompt #7 will be sent to the
telephone indicating to the caller that the channel is in use. If the caller stays on the line, ringing will
commence as soon as the channel is free. The Model 748 will allow the caller to stay on the line for
the
Mobile answer time before hanging up.
