BridgeComSystems ComLink CS-540 - Example 1: Add a New User and Modify the User

REBOOT:
EXIT WITHOUT SAVE:
Field Digits
1) Command
[9][8]
Field Digits
1) Command
[5][5][5][5]
• Upon exit, the repeater will transmit the
exit remote mode alert, which is three
consecutive 600 Hz tones.
• This command remotely reboots the CS-
540 as if someone had manually toggled
the power switch. Although the CS-540
has been designed to be as robust as
possible, this command can save a trip to
the site in the rare case that the CS-540
fails to repeat calls or otherwise becomes
unresponsive.
SAVE AND EXIT:
Field Digits
1) Command
[9][9]
• You don’t need to be in remote
programming mode to issue the reboot
command. It can be used at any time.
Also, valid signaling is not required to issue
a remote reboot command.
• After this command is received, the
repeater will begin transmitting a series of
tones as it updates its internal memory.
• It is not necessary to reboot the CS-540
after making changes using remote
programming commands. If you ever do
need to remotely reboot, it should only be
to relieve an immediate problem.
• Upon exit, the repeater will transmit the
exit remote mode alert, which is three
consecutive 600 Hz tones.
• This command will not be followed by any
type of success or failure alert. After using
this command, wait 20-30 seconds for the
CS-540 to reset and then try using it
again.
Example 1: Add a new user and modify the user’s profile
Before you begin these examples, make sure that you have a two-way radio capable of transmitting DTMF
tones, and that this radio is set up to transmit the CTCSS tone / DCS code assigned to the user in Slot 0, the
System Operator. Because the System Operator’s calls are not repeated, the easiest way to confirm that the
System Operator can access the repeater is to have the System Operator press the PTT (push-to-talk) button
on their radio. Visually confirm that the repeater’s LCD displays the System Operator’s ID, which is by default
“SYS-OP”.
In this example, we will add a user to slot #30 with a DCS code of 223 and then modify its profile’s hang time
and courtesy tone. If Slot #30 is already occupied on your system, go through this examples using another
slot that is empty.
1) Enter remote programming mode
With the repeater turned on and in an idle state, the System Operator should push-to-talk, enter the
remote access PIN, press the ‘#’ key, and then release the PTT button. The repeater should respond
with the “remote mode entered” alert, which is a series of three 1500 Hz tones.
2) Add a user to slot #30 with DCS code 223
To add a user, we need to enter the ADD USER command prefix, the slot number, and the tone/code
index. The ADD USER command has a prefix of 01. We want to add the user to slot #30. From the
table in Appendix C, “CTCSS Tone / DCS Code tables”, we can see that that DCS code 223
corresponds has an index of 094.
