Operation Paging Operation Paging Glossary on page 149 for an explanation of paging nomenclature. Instant Call Operation (Requires Option 930-0028) The INSTANT CALL buttons provide the simplest operation available. To tone out or page personnel or apparatus, simply push the buttons labeled with the desired items. Each button represents one or more page sequences (call stack) used to access the labeled items.
Page 40
Operating Button-Based Consoles Instant Call Types Transmit Attempts to keyup on currently selected channel(s). Select-Then- Clears any existing channel selections, then selects its programmed Transmit channel(s), then attempts to keyup on selected channel(s). Instant Keys up on defined channel(s) only; does not modify currently Transmit selected channel(s).
Operation display. After the page has been transmitted, the paging stack may be repeated by again pressing the SEND button. Note Manual page stacks cannot be mixed with Instant Call page stacks. CLEAR ENTRY Button If a manual page keypad entry is in progress, the CLEAR button is used for aborting the current keypad entry sequence.
Operating Button-Based Consoles All messages are numbered sequentially from 01 to 64. When 64 is reached and a new message is recorded, the numbering starts over at 01 and the oldest message is erased. The next new message replaces message 02, the one after that 03, and so on. The current message number is displayed on the console during all PLAY/PAUSE and REWIND functions.
Local dual channel card connected to a telephone line through a Zetron Series 4000 Phone Coupler. To facilitate the enhanced telephone option, the SELECT, ON HK/OFF HK, MUTE, and PATCH buttons have the following functionality.
Page 44
Operating Button-Based Consoles ON HK/OFF HK (Release) Pressing this button hangs up the telephone and route all radio audio back to its normal destination. This button has no effect if the phone is on hook (it cannot be used to take the phone off hook), or if this console is not the one that has acquired the phone channel (the locked out positions cannot hang up a telephone channel).
Page 45
Operation Putting a Call on Hold Pressing the ANSWER/HOLD button while the telephone is off hook toggles the telephone to the Hold mode. The telephone receive and transmit audio is blocked and all radio audio is routed back to its normal destination. The console telephone remains off hook but does not pass any audio.
Operating Button-Based Consoles The console waits up to 1.5 seconds for dial tone audio. If audio is detected, the specified page is sent, and the telephone becomes active as described above. If no audio is detected, the telephone is put back on hook and the page aborted. If the designated telephone channel is currently locked out by another position, the page is aborted.
Page 47
Operation The originating channel for the currently displayed ANI unit may be selected by pressing the ANI SELECT button if present. If two or more channels are simul-selected, all incoming ANIs are reported for the lowest-numbered selected channel. PTT ID Mode There are two types of ANI in PTT ID mode: emergency ANIs and PTT ID (nonemergency) ANIs.
Operating Button-Based Consoles LED is lit to indicate the channel on which the displayed ANI was received. Each press and release of this button displays the next ANI in the buffer. When the end of the buffer is reached, the display shows “END”. The next press of the ANI REVIEW button starts this sequence again.
Operation Operational Messages During normal operation, it is common to have messages show up on your display. These usually occur only briefly. The following table shows the various operational messages and their meanings. Table 3: Operational Message Meanings Message Meaning NoOption You attempted to access a non installed feature option.

If the same Instant Call page stack is subsequently added again, it is pushed to the back of the list.
Operation Keyup During Paging Any keyup attempt during a paging sequence cancels any programmed talk time. A keyup without a matching keydown, held until after the paging sequence has completed, is considered a PTT request, which will override any programmed Talk Time. If Talk Time is programmed, the PTT request is handled by keeping the current paging channels keyed up until PTT is released.
Operating IntegratorRD Workstations Reviewing Input and Output Conditions The current status of all contact closure inputs and outputs are reviewed by pressing the Aux I/O menu button. The Secondary Function Button Region is replaced with a list of input and output buttons. Up to 16 input and output buttons are displayed on one screen.

Paging Glossary Appendix A: Glossary In this chapter: • Paging Glossary on page 149 • General Glossary on page 150 Paging Glossary Paging Definition Term Capcode The ID of a pager. Instant Call An Instant Call can have multiple pages (called a page stack) assigned to it. Each page in the stack can be a different format (e.g., DTMF, Two-Tone, Alert) and be steered to different channel(s).
Appendix A: Glossary Paging Definition Term Page Clear If manual page entry (via the console DTMF/paging keypad) is in progress, this function will abort the current key entry sequence and clear the paging display without altering the existing page stack. If a page entry is not in progress, pressing this key will delete all console page stacks.
