AUTOPATCH
CALL COUNTER
Command Form:
Clear the Call Counter
(PW) 69 *

Description:
The autopatch Call Counter keeps track of the number of autopatch calls
attempted. (A call is
“attempted” if the controller accepts the phone number
as being valid and begins to dial.)
The Call Counter starts at 000 and increments by one for each call. After
reaching 999 calls, the counter will start over at 000. The counter may be
read in CW by entering the Send the Call Count command. You can clear
the counter (force it to 000) by entering the Clear the Call Counter
command.
Uses for the Call Counter include monitoring autopatch activity, and reducing
the activity in cases where there are monthly limits on the number of calls
allowed.
