world. Command 127 allows you to enable or disable the use of an autodial slot. This allows you
to keep an autodial number from being dialed without erasing the slot and having to re-program it
later.
Limiting Call Length:
The time out timer for the autopatch port limits the total length of the call. If the timer expires, it
will execute the autopatch port's time out macro (see Chapter 8) and hang the autopatch up. If you
would like a message to be spoken when this happens, put the commands to speak that message in
the time out macro. If you do not want the autopatch to time out, set the timer length to 9999 with
Command 020. You will probably want to erase the contents of the time out clear macro for the
autopatch port with Command 055.
You will be warned before the patch times out. Thirty seconds before timeout, three beeps will be
sent out of the radio port and down the phone line (so both sides of the conversation know it).
Two beeps are sent twenty seconds before, and one ten seconds before. The CW characters 'S',
'I', and 'E' are used for these warning beeps.
If you want to reset the patch time out timer during a call, use Command 022 to reset the time out
timer for the autopatch port (timer 094..101 depending on which port you are using). Using port 4
as the autopatch port as an example, the command would be: 022 127 D or unkey. You could
make macro 500 extend the patch timer using the code **3 with the following command:
053 500 030 18 D or unkey ; send CW 'I' as a beep-beep response
056 500 038 D or unkey ; be silent for rest of macro
056 500 022 127 D or unkey ; reset timer 127
010 500 **3 D or unkey ; rename macro 500 to '**3'
How the Dialing Tables Work:
The dialing tables are used to control which long distance numbers can be dialed with Command
112 and which cannot. They do not affect autodial numbers or numbers dialed with Command 113.
If you attempt to dial a number with Command 112 that is not allowed you will get an error 213
(you can disable or change this error message by editing macro 213 - see Chapter 8). By default all
but 7 digit numbers are blocked (see command 119). Before a number is dialed using Command
112, it must pass the following tests:
All digits in the phone number must be decimal digits. A, B, C, and D are not allowed; if
you need to dial these digits, put them in as predial digits, use an autodial slot or use
Command 113.
If the number is one, two or three digits, it will be treated as an autodial number. The
autodial number will be looked up, and if it has been programmed, it will be accepted
without checking to see if it is long distance or not. It is assumed that whoever programs
the autodial slots will decide whether to allow long distance numbers in autodial slots or
not.
