Chapter 4 - Repeater Operation
Time of Day Request
Key-up, and enter [400], the time of day access code. Un-key, and the voice
synthesizer will announce the time. Example: The voice will say: "THE TIME IS 7:30
PM". The time of day announcement is stored in voice message buffer [07] and can be
changed with the [*3107] programming command.
DTMF Keypad Test
Key-up, and enter [375], the DTMF keypad access code followed by the keypad numbers
and letters to be tested. Un-key, and the voice will read-back all numbers and
letters that were decoded including the "STAR" and "POUND". Note: The "D" key cannot
be tested. See Forced DTMF Command Entry.
Forced DTMF Command Entry
During normal operation a DTMF command is entered at the drop of receiver COR. It is
possible to force a DTMF command entry even while COR is present. The CAT-1000B will
accept the [D] key as an entry command.
DTMF Access
When the repeater is in the DTMF Access mode, you must enter the DTMF Access code to
activate the repeater. The voice will say: "OK UP" and the repeater will respond to a
carrier input. When the repeater returns to rest, for a time determined by the sleep
timer, the DTMF Access code must be re-entered to activate the repeater. You can
bypass the rest period and return the repeater to DTMF access mode by re-entering
[325], the DTMF access code. The voice will say: "OK DOWN".
Repeater CTCSS Override
When repeater CTCSS is enabled, a repeater user without a CTCSS encoder can activate
the repeater by entering [325], the DTMF Access number. The voice will say: "OK UP"
and the repeater will respond to a carrier input. After the repeater returns to rest,
the DTMF Access code must be re-entered to override the CTCSS requirement. You can
bypass the rest period and return the repeater to DTMF access mode by re-entering the
DTMF access code.
Autopatch Access
To initiate an autopatch, key-up and enter the autopatch access code followed by the
number. Un-key, and the CAT-1000B will redial the number. A series of beeps will be
generated to indicate dialing in progress. The autopatch code can be any number from
one to seven digits and is user selectable with the *513* programming command. During
initialization the autopatch access code defaults to a [*].
Autopatch Access With Phone Number Verification
Key-up, and enter the autopatch access code followed by the number. Un-key, and the
voice will read back the number, wait two seconds and then dial the number. If the
number is incorrect, enter the autopatch disconnect code during the two second period.
This will terminate the autopatch and prevent a wrong number.
Autopatch Phone Number Read Back Suppression
To temporarily suppress the phone number read back, key-click your microphone when you
hear the voice say: "AUTOPATCH". The CAT-1000B will immediately start to dial the
number.
Telephone Number Lockout
If a repeater user dials a number stored in the Number Lockout table, the autopatch
attempt will be rejected and the voice will say: "NUMBER LOCKOUT".
