3.
End the call by pressing
C
on the Intelligent Handset.
NOTE:
The call
cannot be terminated from a radio if it was originated or answered on the
Intelligent Handset.
4.
Repeat steps above for transferring the next call when required.
NOTE 1: “AutoDial” (in Beam Management Settings) must be disabled.
NOTE 2: “Auto Answer” (in Beam Management Settings) must be disabled.
NOTE 3: If the “Dial” input remains in the ENABLED (+ve) position after the call is ended,
this instructs the RST820 to operate in “auto-redial” mode. It will attempt to automatically call
the last number that was originated from the RST820 system. This is a similar function (but
not the SAME) to the “AutoDial” mode which is instead enabled from the Beam Management
System.
Using a Radio Handset – DTMF Model
Using a DTMF compatible Two-way Radio it is possible to make or receive a call over the
satellite network on the Radio device. To make a call from a Radio handset a PIN is required.
This is configurable to protect against unauthorized calling.
Making a call
1. Ensure that the Autodial switch on the main terminal is turned
OFF
as it is not
possible to override autodial status.
2. Ensure the radio handset is on the same frequency as the main unit
3. Ensure the Satellite & Radio units are both powered
ON
4. The default PIN is 9876.
5. Whilst pressing the transmit button of the radio enter the PIN to access the
system.
a. If PIN accepted a couple of acceptance pips are issued to indicate it is now ok
to dial the phone number.
b. If the PIN number fails the handheld user receives a rising crescendo tone.
c. The access (after the PIN has been entered) times out after approx 10
seconds, after which the PIN would need to be to be re-entered.
d. In the event you have trouble entering the correct PIN wait 20 seconds in
between tries to allow the reset the unit.
e. Remember that it is not possible to transmit DTMF tones whilst another party
is transmitting on another radio in the group.
6. Once the acceptance pips are heard depress the transmit button and enter the
full number you wish to call, and then release the button.
a. Usually the transmit button of the radio needs to be pressed the entire time
the number is being entered In order to transmit the tones to the base unit.
b. If the dialed number seems to be a valid format acceptance pips will be
transmitted to the handheld from the satellite base.
c. If the number is invalid then a FAIL tone is sent; a long, low, beep.
7. Progress calling tones will be heard whilst the call connects, if the number was
incorrect or the satellite network is not available a busy tone will be heard
through the radio network.
