Hanging Up:
No matter which command was used to bring up the autopatch, Command 114 will hang it up. If
you want to have more than one hang up command, just make several different macros call
Command 114. You can rename command 114 to '#' by entering "010 114 #" unkey, 'D' or
<Enter>.
Command 115 can also be used to hang up the patch. It differs from command 114 in that it will
not hang up the patch from a radio port that is not part of a call in progress. For example: port 1
and port 2 are running independent repeaters (they aren’t connected), and port 1 makes an
autopatch call. Port 2 continues to operate normally, unaware that the autopatch is in use. Then
someone on port 2 decides to make a call on the patch and gets the autopatch busy message.
Rather than waiting for the user on port 1 to finish their call, the person trying to make a call on
port 2 decides to hang up the patch so he can make his own call. If he uses command 115, the
controller will not hang up the patch because port 2 is not connected to the autopatch. If he uses
command 114, it will. Either command will work to hang up the patch if they are entered from
port 1, the port that made the call. Often command 115 is used as the primary hang up command
and command 114 is reserved as a control operator command, to be used only when an emergency
mandates hanging up someone else’s call. Resetting the controller with command 035 also hangs
up the patch and can be executed from any radio port.
Connected Ports:
Any ports that are connected to or monitoring the port you make the autopatch call from will also
be included in the autopatch call. For example, if you have connected repeaters and someone
wants to make a call from one of them, you can bring the patch up for them from the other one.
Predial Digits:
Autopatches that are on a PBX often have to dial a '9' or some other combination of digits to reach
the outside world. The RLC-3 has the ability to dial these digits for you. You can tell it what
digits to dial and how long of delays to use before and after these "predial digits" with Command
116. These digits will be dialed before every number that is dialed with the forward dial
commands. You can chose whether or not they should be dialed before each autodial number.
This allows you to dial numbers that do not require the predial digits by putting them in an autodial
slot.
The Autodialer:
There are 1000 autodial slots that can each hold up to an eighteen digit phone number. They are
numbered 000 through 999. They can be accessed by executing either of the forward dial
commands with the number of the autodial slot you want to dial. They can be programmed with
Command 124. You can find out what number is in an autodial slot with Command 125. You can
select whether or not the predial digits (set with Command 116) get sent before the autodial
number with Command 126. This is useful for those using a PBX because it allows them to have
some autodial slots go to internal numbers and some to dial the predial digits to get to the outside
