Link Bridging Command
When the link is in the backbone mode, the CAT-1000B will only respond to DTMF command
from the backbone to turn the link on and off. This greatly reduces the possibility
of the CAT-1000B responding to a command meant for another repeater on the backbone.
However, there may be times when it is desirable to control the CAT-1000B through the
link input. This can be accomplished by using the link bridging command.
Example: With a bridge command number of 150, turn ON the bridge.
Key-up and enter: 1 5 0 1 1

└─┼─┘ └─────── Control 1=Full 2=Macro only

This is a toggle command and is confirmed by the voice saying: "CONTROL UP" or
"CONTROL DOWN." When the bridge is "UP" the CAT-1000B will accept all control and
programming commands from the link receiver except macros.
To acceptance macros during link operations, key-up and enter: [15021]. The voice
will say: "MACRO UP" or "MACRO DOWN." In addition to the link on and off commands,
the controller will respond to any macro command appearing on the link receiver input.
The link bridging command is also used when the CAT-1000B is configured for remote
base operation.
Reverse DTMF Paging
To initiate a reverse DTMF page, call the repeater by phone. When the CAT-1000B
answers, a beep will be heard. Enter the reverse paging prefix code followed by the
desired DTMF pager number. Terminate the entry with a (#) pound. The CAT-1000B will
key the transmitter and regenerate the DTMF pager number. Example: Reverse page a
transceiver with a squelch programmed to open on [123].
Key-up and enter: 8 7 5 1 2 3 #
