To exit the configuration mode, press the - key. Note that values are not permanently stored until the
Configuration Mode is exited by pressing the - key. If the unit is turned off, or power is lost before the - key is
entered, changes to the configuration are not stored.
4.1.1 Serial Port Setup
Each of the two serial ports may be configured independently. The table above lists the parameters which may
be programmed. The serial ports are located at the rear of the unit and are labeled PORT 1 and PORT 2.
Timeout parameters for the various protocols are given in seconds. Set the timeout to 0 if no timeout is desired.
4.1.2 Speaker Enable
If this mode is disabled, then the speaker is muted at all times except in the Diagnostics Mode. This may be
used if the PAGE CENTER is in a location where sounds from the speaker are not desirable.
4.1.3 Busy Channel Lockout
If this mode is enabled, then the PAGE CENTER will not transmit if the channel is busy. This may be desirable
in order to avoid interfering with other users on the channel. This mode should be disabled if there is so much
activity on the channel that the pages are not sent out in a timely manner.
4.1.4 Remote Paging
If this mode is enabled, then remote users are permitted to call the PAGE CENTER via a telephone line and to
generate pages to be transmitted.
4.1.5 Call Forwarding
If this mode is enabled, then remote users are permitted to call the PAGE CENTER via a telephone line and to
request a phone autopatch with two-way-radio users.
4.1.6 Autopatch Timer
The autopatch timer establishes the length of time the PAGE CENTER waits before hanging up the autopatch
automatically. This is needed in case the two-way-radio user's batteries fail or he goes out of range
Enter the number of minutes autopatch may be operated before the disconnect warning tones are sent. The DEL
key may be used to delete digits. Press the "-" key to exit the menu. Note that autopatch operation may be
disabled by setting the Autopatch Timer value to 0.
4.1.7 Voice Prompts
This mode selects whether beeps or voice prompts are used to confirm radio and phone operations with the
PAGE CENTER.
4.1.8 Warmup Signal
If this mode is enabled, then a special "warmup" signal is transmitted for a brief period of time at the beginning
of each page. This is required for more reliable operation by some pagers.
4.1.9 Transceiver Setup
The PAGE CENTER either contains a two-way transceiver or works with an external transceiver. In either
case, the factory has programmed the correct Transmitter Type, Carrier Detect inversion, Transmit Data
inversion and TX Bandwidth modes. The user should not change these settings or improper operation will
result.
