Activating The Autopatch - ACC RC-85 Owner's Manual

The first key of the sequence, which tells the controller that you're testing your
pad, is "5", and then you can enter any sequence of up to 32 digits for readback.
So to test your entire pad, for example, you can enter, all in one transmission:
5 123456789*0#ABCD
The controller responds by reading back everything after the "5" (* as Sierra, #
as P). If a key doesn't decode, it won't be read back. To check a key for
intermittent operation, you can press it several times:
5 3333
The controller should read back "3" four times if it decoded each time.
Command: 5 (sequence of up to 32 keys)
Example: User sends "5 123456".
Controller says, "One two three four five siz".

Activating the Autopatch

Now that you know that your tones decode properly, you can make a patch. The
Autopatch command consists of the Autopatch prefix followed immediately by
the phone number, all as one command. Try
(prefix) 7273330
The controller will say, "Autopatch", pause, then read back the phone number for
verification and pause again. During either pause, if you want the controller to
dial the number, click your rig's PTT briefly. By clicking your mike at the first
pause, you prevent phone number readback. Waiting until the second pause lets
you verify that the proper number was entered.
You can hear the controller dial the tones, although, for security, the actual tones
heard over the air are not the phone number Touch-Tones. Optional phone
number readback and Touch-Tone or dial pulse regeneration mean NO WRONG
NUMBERS! If your phone line won't accept Touch-Tone, we'll show you how to
make it pulse dial later in this chapter. Again, if you don't want the phone
number read back, "click" your mike briefly after it says, "Autopatch", and it will
dial the number immediately.
