RST-100 INSTALLATION AND CONFIGURATION MANUAL

Power Menu

The Power Menu option allows for specific configuration of the RST310 terminal to enable

the unit to go into power saving modes. These modes may be desirable in some applications

whereby the unit is being used in remote environments on Solar Power, and where incoming

calls may not be required.

Modify these parameters only as directed by your by your Service Provider or Beam

Technical Support. These will be used to optimise the performance of the terminal in certain

applications.

Enable “No Incoming Calls” Sleep Mode

This power saving feature turns off the LBT except when calls are being made and at

predefined times. Significant power savings can be made, but with the disadvantages of no

incoming calls when off and a much longer outgoing call setup time. The wake time, in

minutes, sets how long the LBT is to stay powered up when it is woken up. A call-in-progress

or other activity will prolong this time. The periodic waking up of the LBT is specified in menu

item A.

0 disables this power save feature and LBT is always powered.

Enable On-Hook Economy

A power saving feature that results in significant power savings when running from a battery

supply. The slight disadvantage is the dial-tone may take a while to come on when the

receiver is lifted. Also it is not running in a standard Telecoms approved manner with respect

to off-hook detection times. The power saving is achieved by only powering the loop to the

phone every now and then when the phone is on-hook.
