TONE REMOTE: A means of remotely controlling the repeater or base station with audible tones. Typically used to
control a base station over a distance pair of wires.
TOUCH TONE: Used by telephone systems for dialing a telephone number (also see DTMF). Used in the RI-200 to enter
desired functions or commands. Also see Macros and S-Commands.
USER COMMAND: A command that a repeater user would send to the repeater to set its’ mode. User commands point to
macros, which contain S-Commands.
WATCHDOG TIMER: A hardware counter set to count for a predetermined time. If the count is reached without being
restarted, the watchdog timer resets the microcontroller. This is the means to reset the system in the case of a software or
hardware error. The software program restarts the watchdog timer periodically whenever the system is not operating
correctly.
