Chapter 13: Autopatch Routines
Configuring the Autopatch:
Command 110 allows you to specify whether or not you want the autopatch to read back in the
synthesized voice the number it is about to dial. If you select to have the number read back,
you can choose whether it should read it back "politely" (so it can be interrupted by
kerchunking) or "impolitely" (so it always reads back the whole number).
Autopatch Up Commands:
There are three different commands that can be used to access the autopatch. All of them
connect the port that the command was entered from to the autopatch. Because of this, none of
them can be executed from the serial port or by the scheduler (how do you connect an autopatch
to a scheduler?). They are:
• Manual Off Hook: Command 111. This command connects the radio port to the phone
line without dialing any numbers. You can dial phone numbers without DTMF
regeneration by executing this command, waiting for dial tone, and entering the number
on your DTMF pad. Since the tones are not captured and regenerated but go out directly
onto the phone line, there is no long distance checking, etc.
• Normal Forward Dial: Command 112. This command is the one you would usually
make available to users. Three digit numbers will access autodial slots, 4 through 11
digit numbers will be checked against the dialing tables (explained later), then
regenerated over the phone line. If you have specified pre-dial digits (such as a '9' to get
out of a local PBX) with Command 115, they will be dialed first.
• Special Forward Dial: Command 113. This command is similar to the normal forward
dial but it bypasses the dialing table checks. It is the most convenient way to bypass all
of the long distance checking. It will dial any predial digits that you have programmed
with Command 115.
Using '*' for the Autopatch Up Command:
You can use the '*' digit to execute any of the above autopatch commands. Simply rename your
autopatch command to a '*' using Command 010. This will allow you to use the patch by
simply keying up, pressing '*', then the phone number you wish to dial.
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 #" unkey, 'D' or
<Enter>.
