Connect Systems Inc. -Model TP-154 Page 20
Hog: A user or user group that monopolizes airtime.
Hog Penalty: This feature is designed to give the system manager
some control over airtime hogs which may drive other customers
away.
In order to use the Hog Penalty feature it is necessary to
understand how it works. There are three timers which can be
individually set in the global programming. These are ...
HOG MONITOR: This timer sets the maximum talk time a subscriber
may use without incurring a no talk penalty. Warning beeps during
the final thirty seconds indicate that a penalty is forthcoming if
use is not quickly terminated. If the subscriber ignores the
warning beeps for the full thirty seconds he is penalized by not
being able to use the system for the "penalty time" duration.
IDLE TIMER: The "hog monitor" timer is reset if the user does not
use the system for the "idle time" this gives the
user a clean slate. It must be noted that the "hog
monitor" timer time is cumulative, if the idle time
criteria is not met.
PENALTY TIME: If the subscriber exceeds the cumulative "hog
monitor" timer time he receives a hog penalty time.
The TP-154 can only track the most recent five users for hog
penalty. If the system operator (or any other user) enters "###",
all hog timers will be cleared, allowing the penalized Hog(s) to
use the system before the penalty time has expired
