188 Part I: Task Manager
Make current channel the default
The Make current channel the default action instructs the base station to
select the channel it is currently operating on as the default channel. This action
is the equivalent of selecting the channel in Configure > Base Station >
General, and programming the base station with that change. If Task Manager
changes to a new channel and makes that channel the default, the base station
stays on that channel even after a reset.
In base stations with a complex set of Task Manager tasks, you need to
understand exactly how this action works. The action takes what Task Manager
views as the current channel. For example, a base station is operating on
Channel 1 and the task list has a Go to channel 5 action followed by a Make
current channel the default action, and then a Go to channel 6 action.
The result of processing this list is that channel 5 is the default. It is not Channel
1 (the current channel during the processing cycle) or channel 6 (the channel
that the base station goes to at the end of the processing cycle).
Note: Hardware channel selection overrides all Task Manager
channel actions.
Go to next channel
The Go to next channel action instructs the base station to operate on the
next valid channel in the channel table. If the base station was on Channel 001,
it changes to Channel 002. It stays on that channel until Task Manager changes
channel or a reset returns it to the default channel.
In base stations with a complex set of Task Manager tasks, you need to
understand exactly how this action works. It is not a 'do now' action; the actual
change of operating channel happens at the end of a processing cycle. This
means, for example, that if the task list has two Go to next channel actions,
the base station will move two channels down the channel table.
Note: Hardware channel selection overrides all Task Manager
channel actions.
CWID Actions
Task Manager can enable, disable, or toggle the CWID system flag. This
provides you with an additional layer of control over the transmission of a
CWID.
When the base station enters Run mode, the flag is enabled.
When the flag is disabled, there is no automatic transmission of the CWID.
When the flag is enabled, CWID is transmitted as configured in the channel
profile's CWID System tab.
If the channel profile does not provide for CWID, this flag has no effect.
Transmit CWID now
The 'do now' action Transmit CWID now instructs the base station to
immediately transmit the CWID message defined in the CWID System tab.
This action enables you to configure CWID transmissions in a way that is not
otherwise possible. For example, you could have the CWID transmitted more
than once a minute or at every transmit tail.
Transmit CWID now works even if a CWID action has disabled the CWID
system flag.
