12 DSC SETUP

12.1 INDIVIDUAL DIRECTORY

The GX1600 has a DSC directory that allows you to store a vessel or person's
name and the MMSI number associated with vessels you wish to transmit
Individual calls, Position Requests and Position Send transmissions.
To transmit an Individual call you must program this directory with information
of the persons you wish to call, similar to a cellular phones telephone directory.
Refer to section "9.5.1 Setting up the Individual / Position Call Directory"
for programming.

12.2 INDIVIDUAL REPLY

This menu item sets up the radio to automatically (default setting) or manually
respond to a DSC Individual call requesting you to switch to a working channel
for voice communications. When Manual is selected the MMSI of the calling
vessel is shown allowing you to see who is calling. This function is similar to
caller id on a cellular phone.
Refer to section "9.5.2 Setting up Individual Reply" for setting.

12.3 INDIVIDUAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT

The radio can be setup to transmit a reply automatically (default) or set so the
radio will not reply to an individual call.
Refer to section "9.5.3 Enabling the Individual Acknowledgment" for set-
ting.

12.4 INDIVIDUAL RINGER

The radio can be setup to ring like a telephone to alert you the radio received
a DSC Individual call. The default setting is 2 minutes, however this can be
changed to 15, 10 or 5 seconds.
Refer to section "9.5.4 Setting up Individual/Group Call Ringer" for setting.

12.5 GROUP DIRECTORY

For this function to operate, the same Group MMSI must be programmed into
all the DSC VHF radios within the group of vessels that will be using this fea-
ture. To understand Group MMSI programming, first a Ship MMSI has to be
understood.
Refer to section "9.7.1 Setup a Group Call" for programming.
