Send custom DSC

The Send custom DSC mode enables the test box to send a custom-made DSC call composed
in advance on a PC. For the purpose of composing, a free PC software TEST BOX MANAGER
can be downloaded from Danphone's website. See page 41.
Once downloaded, connect your PC to the test box via the USB cable supplied. Follow the
instructions of how to compose a new custom-made call and transfer it to the test box
accordingly.
To make the test box transmit the custom-made call, select Send custom DSC on the test box.
The DSC frequency will appear in the display. Press OK again to send the call.
Following the DSC call, the test box will display Received status. Press OK if the call was
successfully received. Press Fail if the call was not well received. The answer will be stored in
the test box memory for your test report.

Receive ATIS

ATIS (Automatic Transmitter Identification System) is a signaling protocol used on the inland
waterways of Europe that enables the authorities to identify each transmission by a short data
burst sent when the PTT key is released.
In the Receive ATIS mode, keying of an ATIS equipped VHF on CH 6 or CH 15 will enable the
test box to receive the station's ID.
Use this setup:
Select Receive ATIS on the test box and press OK. Select channel and press OK. Then,
activate the ATIS transmitter.
The test box will receive and display the transmitter's ID and at the same time store it in the test
box memory.
