SoforexamplewiththedefaultDTMFcodes,youcanlinkTG3100byenteringDTMFcode #3100,andlink
reflector4770byentering *4770.IfyouwanttotrytheBMparrot,enterDTMFcode *9990,releasethePTT,
thenifyoupressthePTTagain,thecallwillbeforwardedtoprivatecall9990,whichisusuallytheBMserver's
parrotserviceID.
YoucanalsousetheWires-X®buttonmenuofyourC4FMradiotoselect/searchforservers.
Advancedsettings
IfAdvancedmodeisenabled,thefollowingsettingsbecomeavailable:
YoucansetabackupserverwhichwillbeusediftheopenSPOT3can'tconnecttotheprimaryserverforBackup
serveractivateconnecttimeoutseconds.Ifthebackupserverisdisconnectedthentheprimaryonewillbetried
automaticallyagain.
YoucansettheDMOmodeTDMAchannelforthenetwork.DMOmodeisenablediftheconnector'sRXandTX
frequenciesmatch.ThissettingspecifieswhichTDMAchannelisusedforsendingcallstotheserver.Onthe
BrandMeisternetworktheDMOmodelinksthetwotimeslotstogether,sothissettingisirrelevant.
Autoconnect
TheAutoconnecttoIDwillbequickcalledwhentheopenSPOT3connectstotheserver.PleaseseetheQuick
call'sdescriptionformoreinformationaboutthisfeature.
Usingtheautoconnectfeatureisnotneeded(andnotrecommended)onBrandMeister,asthisnetwork
supportsautostatictalkgroups:thefirsttalkgroupyoucallaftercallingTG4000willbesetasautostatic.Auto
statictalkgroupswillnotbeunlinkedafteratimeoutlikedynamictalkgroups(thistimeoutisusually15minutes,
butthisdependsonserversettings).Example:startashortcalltoTG4000.ThenstartashortcalltoTG3100.
NowTG3100willbeautostatic,whichmeansitwon'tbeunlinkedafteratimeout.
Ifyouareusingautoconnecttoatalkgroup,itisadvisabletochecktheUnlinkTG/ref.onautoconnect
checkbox.Ifit'schecked,theopenSPOT3willautomaticallyquickcallTG4000afteritisconnectedtotheserver,
sothecurrentlyactiveTG/reflectorwillbeunlinked.Thisisusefulifyouonlywanttouseatalkgroup,butthe
serveralwayslinksyoutoareflectorautomatically.
Notethatreflectorandtalkgrouplinking(andunlinking)isdonebythenetwork,nottheopenSPOT3.The
openSPOT3hastomakequickcalls,whicharethesameaspressingPTTforashorttimeonaradio
(kerchunking).TheseemptycallswillalsoshowupontheBrandMeisternetwork'sdashboard.
Callrerouting
YoucanenablereroutingbysettingtheRerouteDMRTG9callstoIDotherthan0.Ifreroutingisactive,allvoice
callsarereroutedtoandfromTG9.Thismakesusingtalkgroupseasier,asyoudon'thavetosetthemintheRX
grouplistonyourradio.
Forexample,ifyousetthererouteIDto3100/groupcall,thenifyoucallTG9onyourradio,yourcallwillbe
senttoTG3100,andifsomeonetalksonTG3100,thecallwillbesenttoTG9onyourradio,soitwillreceiveit
evenifyoudon'thaveTG3100inyourRXgrouplist.
Anotherexample:ifyousetthererouteIDto9990/privatecall,thenifyoucallTG9,yourcallwillgotothe
parrotservice9990,andtheparrotreplywillcomebacktoyoutoTG9.
Reroutingisdynamic,soifyoustartashortvoicecalltoanewreflector/talkgroup,thererouteIDwillbe
automaticallysettothenewreflector/talkgroupwiththeappropriatecalltype.
