Telephone Interconnect
5
Your MTX•LS radio is equipped with Telephone Interconnect, which allows you to receive calls from landline telephones through the trunking system central computer. Calls from the landline user can be private or can include a whole group.
Keep in mind that a radio operator can either talk or listen at one time, whereas the landline user has duplex (talk and listen) opera- tion. This means a radio operator who is speaking will not hear an interruption from the landline user. Therefore, the landline user should be warned to listen for a beep (system dependent) before speaking.
To Receive A Telephone Call
1.To make a call to the radio, the landline party will dial an interconnect terminal phone number. If the system is busy, the landline party hears a normal busy signal, and must hang up and try again. If the phone line is open, the caller will hear a tone (system dependent). The caller should then enter the access code assigned to the desired radio unit. Both the landline and the radio user will hear a ringing tone.
2.To answer, press the PTT and begin talking.
3.Keep these points in mind during your conversation:
◊The landline user should be informed that you are using a radio and that replies should be made only after you have finished transmitting. The landline user will hear a soft beep (system dependent) after you release the PTT switch. Explain that only one person can talk at a time.
◊If the landline user speaks while you are transmitting, you will not hear them. Proceed with the conversation in a normal
