4.4.1 How Status Display Works
The status display feature treats the last digit of an ANI
as a status digit. This digit can be translated to a
status message that can be displayed on the DDU. Up
to 10 status messages can be configured,
corresponding to the digits 0-9.
Say for example that the ANI of a particular unit is
1234X where X is the status digit. If you are running a
taxi fleet, you may wish to specify status information as
follows:
CODE STATUS
MSG
MEANING
12340
<blank>

12341
OFF DUTY
Off duty, not available
12342
ON DUTY
On duty
12343
FLAG UP
Beginning fare
12344
FLAG DN
End of fare
12345
EN ROUTE
En-route to pickup fare
12346
NO FARE
Nobody at pickup location
12347
REPEAT
Repeat last call
12348 BREAKDOWN
Car broke down
12349
EMERGENCY
Emergency, need help
You can configure the status messages as you see fit
using the
STATUS SETUP
features. If the
Emerg
Status
feature is turned on, the status digit 9 is used
for emergency ANI. This will cause the emergency
LED to blink and an alarm siren to sound (if enabled).
Status messages are not displayed by default, this
must be enabled via the
STATUS SETUP
menu. When
the
Status Feature
is enabled the last digit of the ANI
is automatically blanked out. Instead, the ANI and the
status message are placed on the 1
st
line of the
display, alternating every 2 seconds.
