CAT-300 Repeater Controller - Computer Automation Technology

Chapter 5 - Repeater Programming By DTMF Tone
This chapter describes how the CAT-300 controller is programmed by the repeater
owner using a DTMF keypad. The various types of program commands are described
in detail and examples are given in the following text.
Initialization
To initialize the CAT-300, set dipswitch #7 to ON and cycle DC power. During
power-up, the voice will say: "RESET DATA LOAD COMPLETED." Set dip-switch #7
to OFF. Initialization consists of following operations:
Dip-switch #7 Initialization
1. All memory locations are cleared.
2. The control channels marked with an [*] are enabled.
3. The unlock number is loaded with the default value [1234567].
5. The control operator prefix code is loaded with the default value [100].
6. The control numbers are set to default values.
7. The timers are set to default values.
8. The voice message buffers are loaded with default messages.
9. ID #1 is loaded with "CAT THREE HUNDRED REPEATER."
10. ID #2 is loaded with "CAT THREE HUNDRED."
11. All active memory saves are filled with default values.
12. Load Hardware Input buffers with User Function Switch commands.
Programming the Unlock Control Number
To program the UNLOCK code, set dipswitch #8 to the ON position. The voice
will say: "ENTER CONTROL." Key-up and enter a seven-digit number. Un-key, if
the number is accepted, the voice will say: "DATA INPUTS OK." If the number is
rejected, the voice will say: "ENTER CONTROL." Key-up and enter the seven-
digit number. Set dipswitch #8 to the OFF position. NOTE: When the CAT-300 is
powered up with dipswitch #7 set to ON, the unlock number defaults to: [1-2-3-
4-5-6-7]
Unlocking the Controller By Radio
To unlock the controller, key-up and enter the seven digit unlock number. The
voice will say: "CAT-300 CONTROL."
Locking the Controller By Radio
Key-up and send [*0]. Un-key, the controller will lock-up and the voice will
say: "MANUAL EXIT." The CAT-300 will lock-up automatically when the
programming timer expires. The voice will say: "TIMER EXIT." The programming
time limit can be set with the [*615*] programming command.
Programming Controller By Telephone
To program the CAT-300, call the repeater by telephone. When the CAT-300
answers, a beep will be heard. Enter the seven digit unlock number followed by
a (#) pound. The voice will say: "CAT-300 CONTROL." Programming by phone is
identical to programming by radio except you must end each entry with a [#]
pound. To terminate programming by phone send [*0#].
NOTE: The CAT-300 must be unlocked to perform the following procedures:
