Identifier
The Controller supports separate Identifiers (ID) for Transmitter #1 (Tx1) and
Transmitter #2 (Tx2). These identifiers are triggered by incoming signals from
the users and identify the transmitters only while they are being used.
Note: Due to the separate identifiers feature, many of the commands and
messages are specific to a particular transmitter. In the following text, all
references to commands, messages, macros, and so forth, may not include
distinctions for each transmitter. For example, we might refer to an Initial ID
Message command, when in fact, there are two commands that are similar:
Select Initial ID Message for Tx1 and Select Initial ID message for Tx2.
Therefore, users should be careful to choose the proper command form from
the command pages.
The first signal to be received will start an ID Cycle. Since the identifier is
“polite”, it will attempt to wait for the signal to disappear before sending an
identifier message. If the initial signal is received continuously until the
identifier timer expires, the Initial ID Message will be sent and the Impolite ID
Macro will be executed. Normally, following the initial keyup, the Initial ID
Message is sent and the Initial ID Macro is executed for each transmitter that
was keyed
During a conversation, the controller looks for the input signal to drop during
the ID Pending Interval prior to the expiration of the ID Message Interval timer.
If the signal drops during this period, the Normal ID Message is sent and the
Polite ID Macro is executed. If the signal does not drop by the time the ID
Message Interval time expires, the Impolite ID Message is sent and the
Impolite ID Macro is executed.
Because the controller “looks ahead” up to the ID Pending Interval time for the
signal to drop (as required by the polite ID feature), the identification may not
happen at precisely the same interval each time. If the ID Message Interval is
set to 10 minutes and the ID Pending Interval is set to 30 seconds, for
example, the identification can take place from 9 minutes 30 seconds to 10
minutes after the initial signal is received. The Select ID Message Interval for
