The Reverse Patch Mode is selectable with ControL Operator
commands and can be enabled or disabled as welL
Commands
entered from the phone or from the front panel must be
terminated with the # key.
Calls into the repeater's phone line are answered by the control­
ler after a programmable delay. The controller answers with a
programmable message, such as "AXX control." The caller then
has 15 seconds to enter a valid Touch-Tone command or the
controller will hang up.
Valid Control Op and Programming commands automatically
reload the timer to two minutes, allowing continuous Control Op
activity over the phone. A User-level Telephone Timer Extend
command is available for reloading the timer for Digital Voice
Recorder related activities and is useful when loading or chang­
ing autodial numbers. The controller can also be unlocked to
allow Programming commands to be entered.
User commands can be entered over the phone, including the
Reverse Patch command code to activate the Reverse Patch. This
code causes the transmitter to come up (if not already up) and
"ring" for a programmable period or until answered over the air.
Mode 1 operates as Mode 0 except it causes the repeater to
automatically ringout as a reverse patch five seconds after an­
swering the phone if no valid commands have been entered.
This mode doesn't require the caller to have a Touch-Tone phone
to use the reverse patch, yet still allows User, Control Op, and
Programming control over the phone.
Mode 2 causes a ringout over the air without answering the
phone for a programmable period or until the reverse patch is
answered over the repeater. If Mode 2 is selected, no control
functions can be accomplished over the phone.
