S-Cmd 71 TELEPHONE INCOMING CALL MODE
This command is used to set up how the controller operates during incoming phone calls. In all modes, the controller will not
act on incoming rings until the ring delay counter (S-Command 75) has expired.
• Mode 0: All ringing will be ignored.
• Mode 1: The repeater will begin ringing out on the repeater transmitter after the ring delay (S-Command 75) has expired
and each time the incoming call rings but not more than the ring limit (S-Command 76).
• Mode 2: The controller will not go off-hook until after the ring delay (S-Command 75) has expired. At this time, the
controller will go off-hook and start to ring the transmitter for the total number of rings set by the ring limit (S-Command
76). During both the ring delay time and the ring limit time, you may enter the telephone control access password to put
your call in the telephone control mode. While in this control mode, your telephone audio is not connected to the repeater
transmitter. In control mode, you may begin sending user commands or use the system password to access the
programming mode.
• Mode 3: Operates the same as mode 2, but the controller will play the phone answer message when it goes off-hook. The
caller must enter the ring password (S-Command 56) to start telephone ringing on the repeater transmitter.
• Mode 4: Operates the same as mode 3, but a three digit CTCSS tone or DCS code number is additionally required on the
end of the ring password. You can also add up to an 8-digit DTMF string on the end of the CTCSS tone number. Mode 4
can be used for selective calling to a radio that employs a CTCSS tone decoder or detects DTMF tones, respectively.
• Mode 5: Is auto answer. The controller will go off-hook and connect the telephone audio to the repeater transmitter after
the ring delay counter expires.
• Mode 6: Operates the same a mode 3, but the caller has access to the user commands in command group 8 without using
the control password. Use this mode to customize the incoming call mode.

STORAGE: RAM/EEPROM
PARAMETERS: Mode 0 = Off: All ringing will be ignored.
Mode 1 = Delay – On Hook – Ring TX: The repeater will begin ringing after the ring delay (S-
Command 75) has expired and each time the incoming call rings but not more than the ring
limit (S-Command 76).
Mode 2 = Delay – Off Hook – Ring TX: The controller will go off-hook after ring delay S-Command
75) has expired, without connecting the telephone to the transmitter, then start ringing the
repeater transmitter for the total number of rings set by the ring limit (S-Command 76). During
this time, you may enter the telephone control access password to put the telephone in a control
mode. In this control mode, the telephone audio is not connected to the repeater transmitter.
You can begin sending user commands now, or access the programming mode with the system
password.
Mode 3 = Delay – Off Hook – Ring Password: Operates the same as mode 2, but the controller will
play the answer message when it goes off-hook and the caller must enter the ring password (S-
Command 56) to start telephone ringing on the repeater.
Mode 4 = Delay – Off Hook – Ring Password and Tone Number: Operates the same as mode 3, but a
three digit CTCSS tone or DCS code number is required on the end of the ring password. You
can also add up to an 8-digit DTMF string on the end of the CTCSS tone number. Mode 4 can
be used for selective calling to a radio that has DTMF commands or a CTCSS tone decoder to
un-squelch the radio.
Mode 5 = Delay – Auto Answer: The controller will go off-hook and connect the telephone audio to the
repeater after the ring delay counter expires.
Mode 6 = Delay – Off Hook – User Command in Group 8: Operates the same a mode 3, but the caller
has access to user commands in command group 8 without using the control password. Use
this mode to customize the incoming call mode.
DEFAULT: Mode 2
