REMOTE CONTROL MANUAL

1 REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTION

1-1 REMOTE CONTROL SETTING

System control

To enable remote control functions, the DTMF settings (RX System Code, TX System Code, DTMF Setting, TX Code CH (Autodial), etc.) must be pre-programmed using CS-FR3000 cloning software. Refer to CS-FR3000 help screens for descriptions of functions and operation, and for programming details.

? NOTE: Check the "Control" check-box to enable remote control operation using DTMF signals.

The "Edit DTMF Setting" window allows configuration of these parameters. Key settings include DTMF Timer, Code Setting, Header Tone, De-limiter Tone, and Notone Timer for system control. For telephone line operations, the "TEL Function" check-box must be enabled, configuring settings like TEL Restriction, TOT Timer, TOT Code, Hang ON Timer, Call Prohibition, Dial Mode (Tone Dialing), Pulse Speed, Pulse Make Rate, Ringer, OFF Timer, ON Timer, and Hook status.

1-2 REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

System control command

? NOTE: All commands must be entered within 10 seconds of entering a password. It is possible to enter the password and command continuously.

Format of Command

Basic command code

The basic command code consists of a fixed 4-digit command code, preceded by a 1-digit Header Tone, and followed by a 1-digit De-limiter Tone.

Header Tone: Sent ahead of the command to indicate the start. A fixed 1-digit from 0-9, A-D, *(E), #(F) (default is *(E)).

De-limiter Tone: Sent between commands and at the end of codes to indicate spaces or the end of a segment. A fixed 1-digit from 0-9, A-D, *(E), #(F) (default is #(F)).

Command Code: The pre-programmed command or action to be executed (fixed 4-digit codes).

Command code with sub code

Consists of the basic command code and sub code (additional required information).

Sub Code: Indicates a memory channel number, an Autodial number, or a telephone number. It can be 2 digits for Memory CH Select/Autodial or up to 24 digits for Tel dial commands.

Command with password and sub code continuously

This format is required for entering commands for remote control operation, including a password.

Password: A type of command code (fixed 4-digit) that enters "System Control standby mode". It can be from 0-9, A-D, *(E), #(F).

1-3 COMMAND TABLE

Note: When the Phone Patch mode is activated from the telephone, the repeater may recognize signals from a transceiver as being a signal from the telephone due to the sidetone function of the phone line. This will depend on the telephone company that provides local service.

Note: "TX Start" is prohibited from the telephone line when "Slave Enable" (the backup repeater) is activated.

1-4 COMMAND DESCRIPTIONS

System Control Exit

Turns OFF "System Control standby mode" and returns to normal operating mode. Also "Hangs up" the phone line during Phone Patch operation.

Repeat Start

Repeat Stop

Inhibits repeater operation immediately, even while transmitting. Can be cancelled by entering "Repeat Start" or by powering the repeater OFF/ON. Not available during Phone Patch operation.

TX Start

Initiates repeater transmit mode for Phone Patch operation. Available only when the signal is entered via the connected telephone line.

TX Stop

Stops the repeater from transmitting during Phone Patch operation. Available only when the signal is entered via the connected telephone line.

1-5 OPERATION EXAMPLE

System control command

? NOTE: All commands must be entered within 10 seconds of entering a password. If the input time period runs out, you must re-enter the password. This time period cannot be changed, allowing for continuous password and command entry.

? When operating from the phone line, the phone must be able to send DTMF signals.

? When a command is available from both the transceiver and phone line, the operations are similar, differing mainly in the connection and disconnection method.

1-6 OPERATION EXAMPLE FOR PHONE PATCH

Description

Phone Patch function allows communication between a transceiver and a telephone line. Voice communication is simplex. Mute control is activated by the transceiver's continuous tone SQL.

Operation from the transceiver

Access methods include direct dialing or using pre-programmed autodial numbers.

TEL Dial (0015 Default)

Steps: Enter password (*0001#), verify "System Password OK ACK". Enter "TEL Dial" command (*0015#), verify "OK ACK". Enter telephone number as sub code (e.g., *06033552244#), verify "OK ACK". Repeater dials the number. After connection, talk via simplex voice. To terminate, enter password and "System Control Exit" (*0001#0002#), verify "System Control Exit ACK".

TEL Autodial (0016 Default)

Steps: Enter DTMF codes for password, autodial command, and channel (e.g., *0001#0016#12# for channel 12), verify "OK ACK". Repeater calls the autodial channel. After connection, talk via simplex voice. To terminate, enter password and "System Control Exit" (*0001#0002#), verify "System Control Exit ACK".

Operation from the phone line

TX Start (0005 Default)

Steps: Dial repeater's phone number. After connection, enter password (*0001#), verify "System Password OK ACK". Enter "TX Start" command (*0005#), verify "OK ACK". Repeater starts downlink transmission for Phone Patch. After conversation, hang up to disconnect and stop transmission.

TX Stop (0006 Default)

Steps: Enter DTMF code (password and command) (*0001#0006#), verify "OK ACK". This command stops repeater transmission, allowing for setting changes. The phone can be hung up if no further operations are needed.
