12 DSC SETUP

12.1 INDIVIDUAL DIRECTORY

The GX1700 has a DSC directory that allows you to store a vessel or per-
son's name and the MMSI number associated with vessels you wish to trans-
mit Individual calls, Position Requests and Position Send transmissions.
To transmit an Individual call you must program this directory with informa-
tion of the persons you wish to call, similar to a cellular phones telephone
directory.
Refer to section "9.5.1 Individual / Position Call Directory Setup" for pro-
gramming.

12.2 INDIVIDUAL REPLY

This menu item sets up the radio to automatically (default setting) or manu-
ally 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 Individual Reply Setup" 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 Individual Acknowledgment Setup" for setting.

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 Individual/Group Call Ringer Setup" 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
feature. To understand Group MMSI programming, first a Ship MMSI has to
be understood.
Refer to section "9.7.1 Group Call Setup" for programming.
