Enable/Disable Star/Pound Talkout
Turns ON or OFF the Star/Pound (*/#) Talkout feature.
• This feature is used when controlling a Half-Duplex Base Station from a
standard dial-up phone line.
• When enabled, the phone line party has control of the DTMF decoder.
• Receiver #1 audio is fed to the phone line as soon as the feature is
enabled.
• The (*) button keys transmitter 1 and feeds phone line audio to the
transmitter. The (#) button unkeys transmitter 1 and feeds receiver 1 audio
to the phone line. You have 40 seconds from the time this feature is
enabled until the (*) must be entered. Otherwise, the controller will go on-
hook.
• This command must be entered each time a call is placed to the controller.
• Do not enable the Pound Down (# Dump) command on page 7-8 if you are
using Star/ Pound Talkout, since the (#) character will then terminate the
call.
• See the Select Talkout Transmitter Mode command on page 19-4.
