Autopatch Redialer
The Autopatch Redialer feature uses the Redial Last Number command (on
page 7-45) and allows you to redial an autopatch call without entering the
entire command over again. This is particularly useful if the number you called
was busy, or a no-answer, or if you forgot to mention something to the called
party.
The Redial Last Number command works up to 30 minutes from the time the
last call was placed. If more than 30 minutes have elapsed, the controller will
send CLR (dialer cleared). The 30 minute autopatch redialer timer will be reset
at each redial attempt.
Note: It is recommended that users do not use the Redial Last Number
command if they have not been monitoring the repeater for a while, since
another call may have been placed since their call.
The Clear Autopatch Redialer command (page 7-46) may be used after the
autopatch call is made to clear the dialer memory. This ensures that no user
can redial the last number, and protects the original caller (and called party)
from potential troublemakers.
Dialer memory is also cleared during either a warm or cold start, and when the
Select Autopatch Call Types command (page 7-36) changes the selected call
type.
Macros which have been created for autopatch “express dialing” also leave a
number in the dialer memory. Therefore, entering a Redial Last Number
command following one of these macros will result in a call to the express
dialed party.
An attempt to access the autopatch that is not successful—such as dialing a
long-distance number which is rejected—will not clear the autopatch redialer. It
also will not affect the autopatch redialer timer.
