Macros 265..267. If you don't use preaccess, you can totally ignore these macros. Even if you
do use preaccess, you don't have to worry about them. They are automatically renamed and
programmed when you configure a port for preaccess with Command 070 or 071. If you are
curious, however, read on. When a port is set to require preaccess (either with Command 070
or 071), these macros are automatically programmed and renamed. The access code ("*" for a
repeater, "#??" for a link) is actually the new name of these macros. Also, the command
decoder is told to ignore every command that is entered from that port except for these macros.
When you enter the access code, one of these macros is executed. The commands that are
automatically programmed into these macros may do a lot of things (such as start dial tone for a
link), but they always do this one thing, they execute Command 074. Command 074 tells the
command decoder to let that port access all of the commands in the controller again, but only
until the preaccess timer (see Command 020) runs out.
You should never have to change the contents of these macros by hand (since Command 070
and 071 do the work for you), but you might want to change their names. When you use
Command 070 to configure a port as a preaccess repeater, it assumes that you want the local-
mode access code to be "*". If that is not true, you can simply rename the first preaccess macro
for that port to something else. Similarly, the link access code that is usually "#" plus two
digits, can be changed to any valid command name up to six digits long.

Macro 268 is called whenever the controller is reset, whether it is reset because the power was
just turned on, because you pressed the reset button, or because you executed the remote reset
command. You can use it to execute any commands that you want to be executed on reset. If
you run out of space in this, or any other macro, because you are trying to do too much, just call
another macro, or several of them, from this macro and split up the work.
