Limiting Call Length:
The time out timer for the autopatch port limits the total length of the call. If the timer expires,
it will execute the autopatch port's time out macro (see Chapter 8) and hang the autopatch up.
If you would like a message to be spoken when this happens, put the commands to speak that
message in the time out macro. If you do not want the autopatch to time out, set the timer
length to 9999 with Command 020. You will probably want to erase the contents of the time
out clear macro for the autopatch port with Command 055.
You will be warned before the patch times out. Thirty seconds before timeout, three beeps will
be sent out of the radio port and down the phone line (so both sides of the conversation know
it). Two beeps are sent twenty seconds before, and one ten seconds before. The CW characters
'S', 'I', and 'E' are used for these warning beeps.
To reset the patch time out timer during a call, use Command 022 to reset timer 028 (see
Chapter 4 for more information about timers) by entering "022 028" and unkeying. You could
make macro 400 extend the patch timer using the code **3 as follows:
053 400 030 18 D or unkey ; send CW 'I' as a beep-beep response
056 400 038 D or unkey ; be silent for rest of macro
056 400 022 028 D or unkey ; reset timer 097
056 010 400 **3 D or unkey ; rename macro 400 to '**3'
How the Dialing Tables Work:
The dialing tables are used to control which long distance numbers can be dialed with
Command 112 and which cannot. They do not affect autodial numbers or numbers dialed with
Command 113. If you attempt to dial a number with Command 112 that is not allowed you will
get an error 13 (you can disable or change this error message by editing macro 213 - see
Chapter 8). By default all numbers are blocked. Before a number is dialed using Command
112, it must pass the following tests:
All digits in the phone number must be decimal digits. A, B, C, and D are not allowed;
if you need to dial these digits, put them in as predial digits, use an autodial slot or use
Command 113.
The phone number must be at least 5 digits long. If it is one or two digits, it will be
treated as an autodial request. If you need to dial numbers less than 5 digits long, use
autodial slots or Command 113.
If the number matches one of the entries in the nuisance number table, it is blocked.
If the number matches one of the entries in the allowed number table, it is accepted,
otherwise it is blocked.
If the number passes all of the above tests and is accepted, it will be read back (if you turn
