Some Practical Examples Of Tail Message Programming (continued)
In this next example, we want to send this same DVR track to users 5 minutes after Hangtime expiration. First, we disable the Tail
Counter:
*2112 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 Hangtime expiration.
And finally, we want to send DVR Track 1 every 5 tails AND 15 minutes after the last Hangtime expiration.
First, we program the Tail Counter:
*2112 5
Lastly, we program the Periodic Message Timer to 900 seconds:
*1020 900
As you can see, there is a lot of flexibility in the use of Tail Messages.
Special Features
Temporarily Disabling ID's And Timeout Timer
The RC210 allows for easy use when "broadcasting" special events, such as a WestLink bulletin or Shuttle Audio event. By
programming a Command Macro with the appropriate function(s), you can disable IDs on a Port and suspend its Timeout timer for 60
minutes. When the special event is over, you use another Command Macro to re-enable the IDs and timer. And if you combine these
powerful features with the scheduler, you can set up the RC210 to completely handle most of the tasks associated with this usually
cumbersome chore.
Macro Functions
252 Stop ID And Disable Timeout Timer Port 1
253 Stop ID And Disable Timeout Timer Port 2
254 Stop ID And Disable Timeout Timer Port 3
256 Resume ID And Re-Enable Timeout Timer Port 1
257 Resume ID And Re-Enable Timeout Timer Port 2
258 Resume ID And Re-Enable Timeout Timer Port 3
Example: Program Command Macro 11 to suspend ID and Timeout Timer on Port 1, link Port 1 to Port 2 to allow a WestLink broadcast
that is transmitted via a link on Port 2.
*4002 11 252 118
If the event lasts longer than 60 minutes, you can simply run Command Macro 11 again to restart the 60 minute suspend period.
At the end of the event, Command Macro 12 to resume IDs and re-enable the Timeout Timer on Port 1, unlink Ports 1 & 2:
*4002 12 256 122
