110: Configure the Autopatch

This command sets which port the autopatch interface is hooked to and allows you to choose

whether and how the number is read back before it is dialed.

<110> p s

Parameters:

110 is the default command name.

P is the radio port that the autopatch is hooked to (1..8). Enter 9 to specify that no ports

are autopatches

S is the readback style, described below. Modes 2 and 3 watch to see if you force the

command to be executed by pressing the force-execution digit (defaults to 'D', see

command 078) or kerchunk before, during, or shortly after the number is read back; if you

do they will immediately quit reading the number back and either dial the number (mode 2)

or abort dialing (mode 3). Also see the notes for more options.

S - Readback Reads Number Back If Kerchunked or Force Execution

Style

0 Never No Effect

1 Always No Effect

2 Politely Makes it Dial

3 Politely Makes it Abort Dialing

4 Politely No Effect (dials either way)

Notes:

If you change the autopatch port with this command, you will need to set up the reverse

patch again with Command 133.

You can adjust messages and the length of the delays before and after the phone number is

read back by editing macros 401..403, after you execute this command to set them up.

You can make the controller read the numbers back politely like mode two, but dial

whether of not you kerchunk it, by entering using command 110 to select readback mode 2,

then entering "056 402 403" to make macro 402 call macro 403 when it finishes. There is

one known problem with doing this: if you do kerchunk it to make the message go polite, it

will dial the number twice in a row. This usually won't be noticed but could be if someone

answers the phone right away (on the first ring or so). If you are calling an answering

maching, paging service or some other device that listens for DTMF digits, it could cause

problems by entering digits you didn't want entered. To avoid that, either don't use this

readback mode or don't kerchunk while it is reading the number back.

If this command is executed while the patch is in use, it will hang the patch up.

This command automatically turns on timed execution and makes ‘#’ be the force-execution
