Ericsson LBI-39224 manual Causeway Patch Operation, 153

LBI-39224

–reduced audio delay for a console PTT

–consoles may pre-empt Causeway patches and Causeway simulselects

–patch/simulselect update time is minimized when a trunked radio roams/logs into a new trunked site

–eliminates the single-point-of-failure (MOM Controller Board) experienced with "soft" patches and simulselects

–frees-up patch/simulselects at consoles which were previously used for "soft" patch/simulselect of these GIDs and conventional channels

All Causeway patches and Causeway simulselects are configured from the Conventional Channel Configuration dialog box, Figure 35. Each channel is configurable for either Causeway patch operation, Causeway simulselect operation or no Causeway operation. If either Causeway operation is selected, the GID number to patch/simulselect to must also be entered.

Disabling (undoing) a Causeway patch or a Causeway simulselect after it has been programmed can only be accomplished from the Conventional Channel Configuration dialog box, not a console. To disable Causeway patch or Causeway simulselect operation, enter the Conventional Channel Configuration dialog box, select the appropriate conventional channel, select "None" in the Causeway group, and send the new configuration. Saving the new configuration is done automatically on a send.

Causeway Patch Operation

Causeway patch operation is summarized as follows:

–A conventional site-originated call on a Causeway-patched conventional channel is routed to consoles and trunked sites via the trunked Group ID (GID) assigned to the Causeway patch.

–A trunked site-originated group call is routed to consoles and the Causeway-patched conventional channel via the trunked Group ID (GID) assigned to the Causeway patch.

–A console-originated group call is routed to trunked sites and the Causeway-patched conventional channel via the trunked Group ID (GID) assigned to the Causeway patch.
