VX-7R OPERATING MANUAL 67

The VX-7R can be used to access the repeater which provide the Vertex Standard

WIRES

(Wide-Coverage Internet Repeater Enhancement System).

1. Press the key to activate the Internet Connection feature. The “ ” icon will

appear in the upper left corner of the display.

2. Rotate the DIAL, while pressing and holding in the key, to select the access

number corresponding to the WIRES

repeater to

which you wish to establish an Internet link (ask your re-

peater owner/operator if you don’t know the access num-

bers in the network). Now press the PTT switch to exit

from the selection mode.

3. With the Internet Connection feature activated (as in step 1 above), the VX-7R will

generate a brief (0.1 second) DTMF tone according to your selection in step 2. This

DTMF tone is sent at the beginning of every transmission to establish or maintain

the link to the remote WIRES

repeater.

4. To disable the Internet Connection feature, press the key again.

You may access other Internet Link Systems that use a DTMF string for access.

1. Load the DTMF tones which you wish to use for Internet-link access into a DTMF

Autodial memory register. For the purposes of this example, we will use “#123” as

the access code.

A. Press the key, then press the key, to enter the Set (Menu) mode.

B. Rotate the DIAL to select the Menu item labeled (

into which you wish to store the DTMF tones to be used for Internet link access.

E. Rotate the DIAL knob one click to begin DTMF Memory entry into the selected register.

F. Key in

to store these digits into the selected register.

G. When done, press the PTT switch momentarily to save them and exit the Menu. Now turn

the VX-7R off.

2. Press and hold in the key while turning the radio on. This

procedure toggles the “Internet Connection” feature between the

“WIRES

” mode and the “Other Internet Link Systems” mode.

When in the latter mode, a small “U” will appear on the left edge

of the display near the top of the “V” in the opening “VS” display.

3. Press the key momentarily to activate the Internet Con-

nection feature. The “ ” icon will appear in the upper left

corner of the display.

4. If you have stored multiple DTMF strings for access to differ-

ent link nodes, rotate the DIAL, while holding in the key, to select the DTMF

Memory register (

CH1CH1

CH1-

CH9CH9

CH9) corresponding to that node’s DTMF access string.

5. With the Internet Connection feature activated per step 3 above, you may now press

the key, while you are transmitting, to send out the selected DTMF string (to

establish the link to the desired Internet-link node).

6. To return to the WIRES

mode, repeat step 2 above.
