Some Practical Examples of Tail Message Programming
In this example, we will program Tail Message 1 to play Message Macro 1 every 10 tails:
We've recorded DVR Track 1 which says "The ARC will hold its meeting tonight at 7 PM" and store this into Message Macro 1:
*2103 1 236
Now we program Tail Message 1 to use Message Macro 1
*2110 1 1
Next, we program this port to use Tail Message 1
*2111 1
Next, we program the Tail Counter to count 10 repeater tails:
*2112 10
Finally, we disable the Periodic Message Timer
*1020 0
Now DVR Track 1 will be sent every 10 repeater tails.
In this next example, we want to send this same DVR track to users 5 minutes after repeater activity ends. First, we disable the Tail
Counter:
*2111 0
Now we set the Periodic Message Timer to 300 seconds (5 minutes)
*1020 300
Now DVR Track 1 will be sent 5 minutes after the last repeater activity.
And finally, we want to send DVR Track 1 every 5 tails AND 15 minutes after repeater activity ends.
First, we program the Tail Timer:
*2111 5
Lastly, we program the Periodic Message Timer to 300 seconds:
*1020 300
As you can see, there is a lot of flexibility in the use of Tail Messages.
