Page 14: Trunking Call Operations
Trunking Call Operations Your T3040 may be configured to switch between Trunking and Conventional calling mode. Trunking mode is the preferred operating mode because it provides access to your radio’s most advanced features. In Trunking mode, all calls are through the trunked network. You can make calls to other radios that have been assigned numbers in your network, and you may also be able to make calls to PABX and PSTN numbers, depending upon how... -
Page 15: Selecting A Network
This section describes the operations you can perform in Trunking mode. Note that there are two sets of confidence tones available during preprogramming; the MPT set and the Tait set. This manual describes only the Tait set, which is the default. Selecting a Network Your radio may be preprogrammed with the ability to operate on up to four networks, one at a time. - Page 16 On some networks, a buzzing tone indicates that the called unit is ringing, and the display message changes to WAIT- RINGING. When GO AHEAD is displayed you can begin speaking. If your call is not connected, your radio will respond with one of the following messages.
-
Page 17: Dialling
DIALLING DIALLING DIALLING DIALLING DIALLING Your radio can be configured to dial numbers in a variety of ways, depending upon preprogrammed options and network capabilities. You can dial other radios, groups of radios in your fleet, and PSTN/PABX (telephone) numbers. The actual number that you dial may be a direct access number, a label, or a pre- set speed dial number set up at the network level. -
