TELEPHONE USER COMMANDS
Telephone user commands are the same as “standard user commands” but they allow a method to pass along a telephone
number to be checked by the accept and reject tables. You have storage available for up 8 telephone commands. Telephone
commands are executed by names just like user commands but you can include a telephone number or auto dial number along
with the command. The telephone number that is entered with the telephone command will be checked by the accept and
reject table before the associated macro is processed. In the macro data, the telephone off-hook S-Command 82 must be
included for the macro to operate correctly. On-hook S-Command 820 does not have to be called by a telephone command.
This type of command is better placed as a user command as it does not require telephone number information.
6.3
TELEPHONE INCOMING CONTROL
When controlling the repeater over the telephone, you do not have an un-key function as you would have with a radio. Also
most telephones do not have “A,B,C,D” keys as used with most radios. For these reasons we have used the following
procedures. After keying the command, wait for the inter digit timer to expire (S-Command 16), the default time is 3.5
seconds. When this timer expires, the controller will attempt to process the command. You can also terminate the command
with a “# #” and the controller will process the command immediately. When controlling over the telephone line, you can
connect to the radio using the off-hook command and hang up using the on-hook command. When commands are coming
from the telephone and radio at the same time, the source of the first digit will cause the controller to continue receiving
digits from the same source. Be careful when unlocking the controller over the telephone and the repeater is in use. If a user
were to send a command over the repeater in this condition, the controller will process it as an S-Command.

TELEPHONE OUTGOING CALLS
The RI-200 supports various outgoing call modes. You can limit outgoing calls all together, setup calls for simplex
operation, duplex operation, privacy and with a cover tone. Simplex is used to mute the telephone audio when there is
activity on the repeater input. Duplex is used to mix the repeater audio with the telephone audio. In the privacy mode, the
repeater audio is muted over the air. Cover tone mode is the same as privacy except a tone is added over the air when activity
in on the repeater receiver. In both of these modes, other people monitoring the repeater would only hear the telephone
audio. There are various timers that can also be set to limit the maximum length of the call.
The RI-200 can be setup to use up to 8 different access and account codes. The access codes are used to access outside lines
when connected to a PBX or special telephone system. They can also be used to access special long distance carriers or turn
off call waiting. When the RI-200 dials a telephone number, it first dials the access code than an auto dial number if used,
than any numbers that were added to the end of the auto dial and finally the account code if available. The account code can
be used with special long distance carriers or credit card calling. This number is dialed after the telephone number has been
dialed.
If you plan to share the telephone line with other equipment or telephones, the RI-200 can be setup to check the telephone
line for dial tone before dialing. This is done by setting S-Command 90 to zero (Auto Detect). If no dial tone is present or
someone is talking on the telephone line when sending the off-hook command, the controller will give you a 30 second busy
signal on the repeater output.
6.5
AUTO-DIALER and LAST NUMBER REDIAL
The RI-200 supports 99 auto dial numbers and a last number re-dial. Up to 16 digit numbers can be stored in each of the auto
dial locations. Any number stored in the auto dialer will not be checked by the accept and reject tables when used. To access
a stored auto dial number when sending the dial command, include * and the auto dial storage number 01 through 99.
Example, using the default off-hook user command, you would enter *8 *01 and un-key. The controller would go off-hook
and dial the number stored in auto dial slot 01. *00 is reserved to recall the last number dialed. Auto dial numbers are not
stored in the last number re-dial when used.
