Using A DVR Track Or Vocabulary As A Courtesy Tone
You may program a Courtesy Tone to use a Message Macro instead of tones. By simply programming Segment 1 Tone 1 to a value of
1 – 40 (representing Message Macro 1 – 40), you will cause that Courtesy Tone to use that Message Macro. Note that when you
program a Courtesy Tone in this manner, only Tone 1’s value must contain data. The rest may be left blank:
Examples:
Courtesy Tone 1 to use Message Macro 1:
*3101 * 1 * * *
Courtesy Tone 4 to use Message Macro 10:
*3104 * 10 * *
Courtesy Tone 9 to use Message Macro 32:
*3109 * 32 * * *
Courtesy Tone Behavior When Ports Are Linked
When one or more ports are linked together, additional courtesy tones are sent to allow easy identification of the signal heard. For
example, if you have Ports 1 and 2 linked and you're currently talking on Port 1, you'll hear an additional courtesy tone whenever
someone unkeys on Port 2.
Courtesy Tone #10 is played if the signal comes from the "previous" port and Courtesy Tone #9 is played if the signal comes from the
"next" port. The relationship between ports is described below:
Previous Port
If your currently used Port is 1, the Previous Port is 3
If your currently used Port is 2, the Previous Port is 1
If your currently used Port is 3, the Previous Port is 2
Next Port
If your currently used Port is 1, the Next Port is 2
If your currently used Port is 2, the Next Port is 3
If your currently used Port is 3, the Next Port is 1
For example, Port 1 is linked to Port 2 and a signal arrives on Port 2's receiver. From our list above, we see that Port 2 is Port 1's "next"
Port, so Port 1's Courtesy Tone #9 will be sent whenever the signal on Port 2's receive disappears.
Accordingly, we can program Port 1's Courtesy Tone #9 the way we want it to sound.
