114: Hang up the Autopatch

This is the command to use to hang up the autopatch, no matter which of the three autopatch up

commands you used to take it off-hook. If the autopatch is not currently in use, it doesn't do

anything.

<114>

Parameters:

- 114 is the default command name.

Note:

The autopatch is also hung up whenever the controller is reset.

Example:

I want my autopatch hang-up code to be '#'

<010> 114 # D or unkey or <Enter>

Now the users will enter '#' to hang-up the autopatch.

115: Possibly Hang up the Autopatch

This command normally works exactly like command 114, but it won't allow you to hang up the

patch if someone else on another radio port is using it and you aren't. Command 114 will hang up

the patch if it is any use by any port; that is you can hang it up even if someone else on another

port of the controller that is using it. It is important to be able to do that if there is an emergency

and you need to cut them off. On the other hand, if someone tries to use the patch and gets the

"autopatch busy" message, they may not realize (or care) that someone else is using the patch even

though they can't hear it, and they may hang it up. Giving the users access to command 115 rather

than 114 will solve that problem, as only the port(s) that can hear the autopatch call will be allowed

to hang it up. If they try to hang it up with this command while someone else is using it, you may

want to speak a message that indicates that they aren't allowed to do that. Event trigger 227 (see

Chapter 20) will let you do that.
