8.12 Monitoring the Situation Around Another Transceiver by
Remote Control (Remote Monitor)
Remote Monitor is the function to remotely operate using radio communication an individually specified transceiver to
transmit continuously. Use of this function allows the base station to monitor the situation around the transceiver.
If a PC sends the Remote transmission command to the transceiver, the transceiver will send a message requesting the
Remote transmission using Individual Call. The target ID of the Individual Call will be specified by the Remote transmission
command. The transceiver which has received the message requesting the Remote transmission sends an
acknowledgment to the transmitting transceiver, and then unmutes the speaker and initiates a continuous transmission
using Individual Call. The length of time for a continuous transmission will be specified by the Remote transmission
command.
This function has a Normal Mode and a Silence Mode: the former is a mode notifying a user of the transceiver's status of
continuous transmission by an indication on the LCD and by lighting the Transmit LED, and the latter is a mode not
notifying a user of the transceiver's status of continuous transmission. The mode will be specified by the Remote
transmission command.
If in Normal Mode
The transceiver which received the message requesting the Remote transmission sends an acknowledgment to the
transmitting transceiver, and then transmits with the Transmit LED lighting.
If in Silence Mode
The transceiver which received the message requesting the Remote transmission sends an acknowledgment to the
transmitting transceiver, and then transmits without lighting the Transmit LED. For Mobile, the LED display remains
unchanged.
Note
• NX-240/ 240V/ 340/ 340U/ 740H/ 740HV/ 840H/ 840HU can receive the message requesting the Remote transmission; however, it
cannot send the message requesting the Remote transmission.
• The transceiver initiates a continuous transmission only if the message requesting the Remote transmission is received by an
Individual Call. The transceiver does not initiate a continuous transmission even if the message requesting the Remote transmission is
received using anything other than Individual Call.
• While the transceiver is in the status of a continuous transmission because of the Remote Monitor, Time-out Timer and Busy Channel
Lockout are disabled.
• To receive a message requesting a Remote transmission, the received RAN code needs to match the RAN code preconfigured in the
transceiver.
