6. CALL TYPES The Trunking System allows the user to make a number of different types of call. The SRM9030plus supports most of the call types that can be accessed through the Trunk Network, including: • Voice calls between Individuals or Groups • Status Calls • Priority and Emergency Calls • Diversion Calls Individual Calls. Allow private conversations between two users. Group Calls. Allow different members of a group to participate in a group conversation.
6.1 MAKING A VOICE CALL Voice Calls may be made in two different ways: Using Direct-Call Function Button: • The F1….F4 or F5 buttons may be assigned as Direct-Call buttons. Pressing such a button will place a call to the pre-programmed identity. Keypad Entry: • The Users ID number can be entered directly as a dialstring using the Keypad. e.g. 45# will call radio unit No 45. • Dialstrings of up to 30 digits can be used, refer to Appendix B. for numbering convention and valid dialstrings.
During a Voice Call • When a call is placed, a Call Progress Message is displayed on the Message Line and the speaker emits Call Progress tones (See Appendix A for more details). • Both radios will “ring” and show the call setup icon . • When the called person answers, both radios will be connected and will display the audio enabled icon. • A conversation can now take place by each operator, in turn, pressing their Microphone PTT buttons and speaking.
6.2 MAKING A STATUS CALL Status Calls allow a Status Number to be sent between users. This “status number” can have a meaning that the user assigns to it. e.g. 1 may mean : “On Job” 2 may mean : “At Lunch” 14 may mean : “Contact Home”, etc. The SRM9030plus automatically associates the number with the text when a Status is to be sent. A Status Message can be sent in a number of ways similar to making Voice Calls. 6.2.
6.3 RECEIVING A CALL The SRM9030plus will respond to incoming calls according to the type of call being received. There are three types of call: • Voice Call. • Group Voice Call. • Status Message or Data Message. 6.3.1 Receiving a Voice Call When a call is received the radio will ring and display the audio enabled icon. A conversation can now take place by each operator, in turn, pressing their Microphone PTT buttons and speaking.
6.3.2 Receiving a Group Voice Call A Group Voice Call differs from an individual call in that the operators do not answer the call. All radios that are members of the Group automatically connect to the group call. While in a Group Call, all operators can PTT, in turn, and talk to each other. Only the Originator can Clear the call. Any operator can leave the Group Call in the same manner as ending a normal voice call, refer to Section 6.3.1. Notes: 1.
6.5 DTMF OPERATION When the DTMF facility is enabled, (refer to Section 7.1.1), the keypad is automatically switched to DTMF mode whenever a Voice Call occurs. In this mode you can send DTMF tones for activating functions via a Voice Call or telephone connection. Tones are generated using the keys 0…9 # and *. Note: When DTMF is enabled, the keypad cannot be used to make Include calls.
