One option is to disable the repeater transmitter. This will keep the tranmitter from coming up
for any reason. It will not repeat audio, it will not ID, it will not send any messages that may be
caused by the scheduler (like speaking the time on the hour) or any alarm messages, and if a
remote is connected, it will not send the audio from that remote. The receiver will still work
normally. You can still use the receiver to turn the repeater back on or enter any other
commands, and if you have a remote base port connected to the repeater port, your receiver's
audio will still go out the remote. The repeater transmitter can be disabled by entering "155
10".
Another option is to disable the repeater's receiver. In this case, the receiver will not cause any
transmitters to key up and no audio that is received by that receiver will be transmitted out the
repeater or any remotes. The repeater transmitter will continue to work normally. It will still
ID (when it needs to), send scheduled and alarm messages, and if a remote is connected, it will
still send the audio from that remote. You can disable port 1's receiver by entering "005 10".
If you disable the receiver the controller ignore any commands that are entered on that receiver.
This may be useful for keeping someone from that is trying to break into your controller from
getting in. It will also keep you from doing anything from that receiver - even turning it back
on. If you disable the receiver, you will have to turn the receiver back on from another receiver
on the controller, from the reverse patch, or from the serial port.
The final method for disabling a repeater is to disconnect the repeater port from itself by
entering "002 11" (or from itself and any remotes that might be connected: "061 1"). This does
not disable either the repeater receiver (it can still receive commands) or the transmitter (it can
still send ID's and scheduled messages), but it keeps the repeater receiver from being heard on
any transmitters and keeps the transmitter from sending the audio from any receivers. This is
the best method for most systems.
Whichever of the methods you choose to turn your repeater off, you will probably want to
program a macro to do it with a simple DTMF code and program another macro to turn it back
on. An example of the final (recommended) method is show below. Entering "A1" should shut
the repeater off and "A2" should turn it back on.
055 500 ; delete macro 500
056 500 036 411 354 ; speak "repeater off"
056 500 038 ; be quiet for the rest of this macro
056 500 061 1 ; disconnect all ports from port 1
010 500 A1 ; name the repeater off code "A1"
055 501 ; delete macro 501
056 501 036 411 358 ; speak "repeater on"
056 501 038 ; be quiet for the rest of this macro
056 501 000 11 ; make port 1 a repeater again - this will not reconnect any
remotes
010 501 A2 ; name the repeater on code "A2"
