microHAM © 2010 All rights reservedFOOT SWITCHEven though many applications do not monitor the status of the foot switch and do not have the ability toperform specific functions base on closing or releasing the foot switch, we have decided to implement thisfeature to the Router. Hopefully sometime soon applications will be able to detect the foot switch status anduse this this information for automating user functions like in the DOS based TRLog.Router allows assigning a virtual serial port to the foot switch channel and selecting one of four availableinput control lines (CTS, DCD, DSR or RING).NOTE: CTS is not available if the foot switch channel is shared with the radio control port. The state of thesignal on the virtual port can be inverted by checking inverted box.When a COM port is assigned for the foot switch but the application does not support foot switch status (orno application is running), Router reports the channel as closed.When an application opens the COM port (usuallyat start-up), Router reports channel as open.When the foot switch is pressed, this state is indicated by a red arrow.SQUELCH PORTEven though most applications do not monitor the squelch and do not have the ability to perform specificfunctions based on its status, we have decided to include this feature in Router. Perhaps somedayapplications will be able to detect the squelch and use this information for automated functions like audiorecording.Router allows assigning a virtual serial port to squelch as CTS, DSR, DCD or RING.When a COM port is assigned to the squelch channel in Router but not in the application (or no applicationis running), Router shows the channel as closed.When an application opens the COM port (usually at start-up), Router shows channel as open.When squelch is closed, this state is indicated by a red arrow.24
