REMOTE CONTROL FUNCTION

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. Use CS-FR3000 help screens for description of functions and operation and for programming details.

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

NOTE: Check the “TEL Function” check-box to enable remote control operation using DTMF signals from the telephone line.

REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

System control command
NOTE:  All commands must be entered within 10 sec. 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
The Header tone is sent ahead of the command and indicates the start of the command. This tone is a fixed 1-digit from 0—9, A—D, ∗(E), #(F) (programmed using CS-FR3000). The default setting is ∗(E).

De-limiter Tone
The De-limiter is sent between commands and at the end of remote control codes. This tone indicates a space between segments of the command as well as the end of the command. This tone is a fixed 1-digit from 0—9, A—D, ∗(E), #(F) (programmed using CS-FR3000). The default setting is #(F).

Command Code
This field indicates the pre-programmed command or action to be executed. These codes are pro-grammed to fixed 4-digit codes in cloning software, and may include characters from 0—9, A—D, ∗(E), #(F).

• Command code with sub code
  The Command code with Sub code consists of basic command code and sub code (additionally required information).

Sub Code
This field is entered following the command code and indicates a memory channel number (for Memory CH Select), an Autodial number (for Telephone Autodial), or a telephone number (for manual Tel dial commands). The Sub Code will be a fixed 2-digit code for Memory CH Select and Telephone Autodial commands or may be up to 24-digits for Tel dial command.

Command with password and sub code continuously
This is the format required for entering commands for remote control operation.

Password
The Password is a type of command code. The FR3000/FR4000 will enter the “System Control standby mode” when it receives this command while in normal operating mode. This is a fixed 4-digit code that is programmed using cloning software and may include digits from 0—9, A—D, ∗(E), #(F).

REMOTE CONTROL OPERATION

COMMAND TABLE

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

‡ : “TX Start” is prohibited from the telephone line when “Slave Enable” (the backup repeater) is activated.

COMMAND DESCRIPTIONS

• System Control Exit
  Turns OFF “System Control standby mode” and returns to normal operating mode. Will also “Hang up” the phone line during Phone Patch operation.

• Repeat Start
  This command enables repeater operation. This command is not available during Phone Patch operation.

• Repeat Stop
  This command inhibits repeater operation immedi-ately even while transmitting. May be cancelled by entering “Repeat Start” command or power the repeater OFF/ON. This command is not available during Phone Patch operation.

• TX Start
  This command initiates repeater transmit mode for Phone Patch operation. This command is available only when the signal is entered via the connected telephone line.

• TX Stop
  This command stops the repeater from transmitting during Phone Patch operation. This command is available only when the signal is entered via the connected telephone line.

• RF Power (Low)
  Switches TX power to “Low.” This command is not available during Phone Patch operation.

• RF Power (High)
  Switches TX power to “High.” This command is not available for the channel which low power is pro-grammed by cloning or during Phone Patch opera-tion.

• RX Unit OFF
  Turn OFF the RX unit (front end). This command is not available from a transceiver or during Phone Patch operation.

• RX Unit ON
  Turn ON the RX unit (front end). This command is not available from a transceiver or during Phone Patch operation.

• TX/RX Unit OFF
  Turn OFF the TX/RX units. This command is not available from a transceiver or during Phone Patch operation.

• TX/RX Unit ON
  Turn ON the TX/RX units. This command is not available from a transceiver or during Phone Patch operation.

• Master Enable
  Activates the master repeater when connected to a back up repeater. This command is not available during Phone Patch operation.

• Slave Enable
  Activates the back up repeater when connected to a master repeater. This command is not available during Phone Patch operation.

• TEL Dial
  Activates the phone line and dials the telephone number entered as sub code (max. 24 digits). Command will not activate when the first digit entered is the same as programmed in “Call Prohibition.” The repeater transmits “NG ACK” sig- nal. This command is only available from a transceiver.

• TEL Autodial
  Activates the phone line and dials the pre-pro-grammed autodial channel (2 digits) as sub code. This command is only available from a transceiver.

• Memory CH Select
  Selects the memory channel with sub code (2 dig-its Memory channel number). This command is not available during Phone Patch operation.

• CPU All Reset
  Resets the repeater’s CPU. This command is not available from a transceiver or during Phone Patch operation.

OPERATION EXAMPLE FOR PHONE PATCH

Description
Phone Patch function allows communication to a transceiver from a telephone line, or connection to a telephone line from a transceiver. During the Phone Patch operation, the voice communication is sim-plex. (The mute control is activated from the transceiver’s continuous tone SQL.)

Operation from the transceiver
One of two methods (Dial and Auto-dial) of telephone access is selectable from the transceiver.
Dial: Direct dialing from the keypad of a transceiver. Auto-dial: Using the pre-programmed phone No. (up to 20 channels are stored) in the repeater.
