Introduction
Unlocking and
Locking
Programming the
Controller
This chapter describes how the RC..;96 owner can program the
controller, using remote Touch,. Tone commands, to customize
many ofjts characteristics, such as messages, timers, user com­
mandcodes, etc ..Programmingcommands cause information to
be stored in the controller's nonvolatile memory so that the
information isn't lost if power fails. The various types of Pro­
gramming commands are described below, along with examples,
and are summarized in Appendix C and on the Programming
Reference Card and the Message Editor Reference Card.
The controller is normally "locked," with Programming com­
mands protected and not accessible. Programming commands
are accessed by temporarily "unlocking" the controller with a
custom unlock command, unique to the controller, that provides
security against tampering. When the controller is unlocked,
only Programming commands are recognized.
The "unlock code" is programmed - or changed, if necessary - at
the site by the repeater owner with the controller locked.
While the controller is unlocked, the "UL" prompt and, locally,
the PGM light' on the front panel, indicates that it is waiting for
valid Programming commands. Each entry of a valid command
reloads a one minute Unlock Timer. If the timer times out, the
controller automatically locks back up so it is secure from unin­
tended changes.
The controller is normally locked back up after a series of Pro­
gramming commands with the # key (## over the phone or from
the keypad).
