Answering The Reverse Patch Over The Air - ACC RC-85 Owner's Manual

Mode 2 causes the controller to ring out when a phone ring is detected, but the
line is not answered until a repeater user enters the Reverse Patch Answer
command over the air.
A special Telephone Access Paging mode is described in Appendix III and applies
when DIP switch 7 is on. This mode is not intended for use in the Amateur
service.
The following commands is relevent only in mode 0.
Command: (Reverse Patch Command)
Example: Reverse Patch Command = 1
Caller on the phone enters 1# (# is required as "command
evaluation key" terminator on the phone). Controller
activates transmitter and "rings" for one minute or
until answered with Reverse Patch Answer command.
Hints: After the Reverse Patch Command is entered, the Touch-Tone
decoder switches to the repeater receiver, so that the
caller cannot enter additional Touch-Tone commands.
If you don't want to answer the reverse patch, the Patch
Hangup command from over the air will terminate the
ringout early.

Answering the Reverse Patch Over the Air

controller evaluate the command and connect the caller to the repeater.
Command: (Patch Utility Prefix)
Example: Patch Utility Prefix = *
User sends "*" while reverse patch is ringing.
Controller connects caller to the radio.
