12 DSC SETUP
12.1 INDIVIDUAL DIRECTORY
The GX2000/GX2150 has a DSC directory that allows you to store a vessel or
person's name and the MMSI number associated with vessels you wish to
transmit Individual calls, Position Requests and Position Send transmissions.
To transmit an Individual call you must program this directory with information
of the persons you wish to call, similar to a cellular phones telephone directory.
Refer to section "9.5.1 Individual / Position Call Directory Setup" for pro-
gramming.
12.2 INDIVIDUAL REPLY
This menu item sets up the radio to automatically (default setting) or manually
respond to a DSC Individual call requesting you to switch to a working channel
for voice communications. When Manual is selected the MMSI of the calling
vessel is shown allowing you to see who is calling. This function is similar to
caller id on a cellular phone.
Refer to section "9.5.2 Individual Reply Setup" for setting.
12.3 INDIVIDUAL ACKNOWLEDGMENT
The radio can be setup to transmit a reply automatically (default) or set so the
radio will not reply to an individual call.
Refer to section "9.5.3 Individual Acknowledgment Setup" for setting.
14.4 INDIVIDUAL RINGER
The radio can be setup to ring like a telephone to alert you the radio received
a DSC Individual call. The default setting is 2 minutes, however this can be
changed to 15, 10 or 5 seconds with the procedure below.
Refer to section "9.5.4 Individual / Group Call Ringer Setup" for setting.
14.5 GROUP DIRECTORY
For this function to operate, the same Group MMSI must be programmed into
all the DSC VHF radios within the group of vessels that will be using this fea-
ture. To understand Group MMSI programming, first a Ship MMSI has to be
understood.
Refer to section "9.7.1 Group Call Setup" for programming.
