Hanging Up:
No matter which command was used to bring up the autopatch, Command 114 will hang it up. If
you want to have more than one hang up command, just make several different macros call
Command 114. You can rename command 114 to '#' by entering "010 114 #".
Command 115 can also be used to hang up the patch. It differs from command 114 in that it will
not hang up the patch from a radio port that is not part of a call in progress. For example: port 1
and port 2 are running independent repeaters (they aren’t connected), and port 1 makes an
autopatch call. Port 2 continues to operate normally, unaware that the autopatch is in use. Then
someone on port 2 decides to make a call on the patch and gets the autopatch busy message.
Rather than waiting for the user on port 1 to finish their call, the person trying to make a call on
port 2 decides to hang up the patch so he can make his own call. If he uses command 115, the
controller will not hang up the patch because port 2 is not connected to the autopatch. If he uses
command 114, it will. Either command will work to hang up the patch if they are entered from port
1, the port that made the call. Often command 115 is used as the primary hang up command and
command 114 is reserved as a control operator command, to be used only when an emergency
mandates hanging up someone else’s call. Resetting the controller with command 035 also hangs
up the patch and can be executed from any radio port.
Connected Ports:
Any ports that are connected to or monitoring the port you make the autopatch call from will also
be included in the autopatch call. For example, if you have connected repeaters and someone wants
to make a call from one of them, you can bring the patch up for them from the other one.
Predial Digits:
Autopatches that are on a PBX often have to dial a '9' or some other combination of digits to reach
the outside world. The RLC-4 has the ability to dial these digits for you. You can tell it what digits
to dial and how long to delay before and after these "predial digits" with Command 116. These
digits will be dialed before every number that is dialed with commands 112 or 113.
The Autodialer:
There are 100 user macros, the upper 50 macros are 20 digits in length. The upper 50 macros can
be used to store autodial numbers or simply as macros. The user can decide how many of each to
use. If a macro is used to store an autodial number, it cannot also be used a a normal macro.
Macro 200 can be used as autodial slot 00, macro 201 as 01... macro 249 as 49. To use a macro as
an autodial slot, follow the pattern below:
053 MMM 113 <phone number>
where MMM is the macro number (200..249) and <phone number> is the number you want stored
in that autodial slot. For example, “053 200 113 406 482 7515" will make autodial slot 00 contain
the number (406) 482-7515. To dial it, enter “112 00" or “113 00" (or if you have renamed
