Transmit Power Level; Wireline Time-Out Time; Repeater Time-Out Time; Repeater Drop-Out Delay - Futurecom PDR8000 Manual

6.2.3 T P
RANSMIT
Power output provided by PDR8000 when transmitting on this channel. The configured power
(1-20 watts) is provided at the output of the PDR8000 internal Tx port. This port is further
connected to an antenna, internal duplexer, external duplexer, or transmit Booster Pack. Each
entity connected affects the output power by attenuating or boosting the signal.
PDR8000 can be configured to present an alarm if the measured RF transmit power differs from
the programmed output power by a user-specified amount (dB).
6.2.4 W T
IRELINE
The maximum amount of time the transmitter may be continuously activated via the wireline
interface (e.g. by a console).
6.2.5 R
EPEATER
The maximum amount of time the transmitter may be continuously activated in order to repeat
subscriber audio arriving via the PDR8000 receiver.
6.2.6 R
EPEATER
The amount of time the transmitter remains active when in Repeater mode, following loss of the
received signal.
6.2.7 PTT P
RIORITY
There are certain conditions that can cause contention situations in the PDR8000. For instance,
the PDR8000 might be simultaneously receiving a call from two different sources (e.g. RF and
wireline link) but only be able to pass one of those sources forward. This might be because
both messages are destined to the same output (e.g. the PDR8000 transmitter), or because the
PDR8000 has been configured in a way that limits the simultaneous paths through the device
(e.g. half-duplex or simplex). In these cases, a configuration parameter (PTT Priority)
determines which of the competing sources is allowed to be processed. The configurable PTT
Priority parameter is chosen from:
•
Wireline Priority (W>R): Call from wireline interface has priority over RF repeat audio.
•
Radio/Repeat Priority (R>W): Call from RF has priority over wireline interface
originated call.
•
First Call Priority (W=R): Whichever call starts first has priority over the other source.
When competing signals bring these prioritization rules into effect, the prioritized signal is
passed through the PDR8000 to its intended destination, and the non-prioritized signal is
stopped. No indication is seen/heard by the originator of the "lower-priority" signal to show that
their message was not successfully delivered.
Each channel is independently configured to use one of these priority schemes.
