Chapter 19: The Beaconing System
The beaconing system was designed to alert you when something at the site needs your
attention. It can be set up to announce a message over the radio and/or call you using the
autopatch. It can beacon a limited number of times, or indefinitely until you cancel the beacon.
An example follows:
; This is a file to set up the club to do beacon using both the radio and the autopatch.
; To start a beacon, enter "SPEAK:THIS_IS_A_TEST" (or any other message with
; underscores separating the words) from the serial port. The beacon message will be
; announced out radio port 1 twice, then the phone will be dialed and the message
; will be announced four times before hanging up. Then the process starts over. This
; will continue until the beacon is cancelled by entering "###".
N050 0 ; turn voice off during upload
N078 4 0 0 ! ; change force-execution digit to ! from D for serial port
N078 3 0 1 ; turn timed execution on for autopatch
N020 053 2 ; set timed execution timer to 2 seconds from 5
N002 11 ; turn repeater mode off, uses a transceiver
N085 10 ; turn ID's off
N110 10 ; enable autopatch - no number readback
N133 2 02 123 ; enable reverse patch - logon code 123
N072 3 ; turn preaccess off for patch so don't need logon code
N045 1 297 02 0005 2 0 1 ; beacon out radio port one twice, then go to patch
N045 2 297 04 0002 1 1 <phone number> ; beacon out phone four times, then go to radio
N010 048 SPEAK: ; rename special beacon command
N010 047 ### ; cancel command
Note:
If you have two beacons in a row set up to go to the autopatch, and the patch never hangs up
between them, you may need to shorten the hang timer for the autopatch port to less than a
second.
