REMOTE PROGRAMMING
In addition to the built-in programming method which has been
thoroughly described on preceding pages, your 9800 can also be
programmed over the air from a mobile or portable radio using DTMF
(Touch-tone) commands, or from any DTMF telephone (must be on a
separate phone line) using the telephone's DTMF keypad.
We recommend that you do not proceed with remote programming until you
thoroughly understand and have mastered the built-in programming
method using the internal keypad.
NOTE: The methods for remote programming from a radio vary somewhat
from those used for remote programming from a telephone. Please note
the differences.
DTMF or BEEP FEEDBACK
Your 9800 has been designed to provide either DTMF transpond feedback
or audible beep feedback during remote programming. Feedback lets you
verify the status of each command you send.
Beep Feedback: Beep feedback generates a single beep in response to
your command if new data has been entered. If the data you are
entering is unchanged (same) there will be a two beep response. The
latter is useful to verify that data has been correctly programmed
by repeating the entry sequence until the double beep is heard.
Beep feedback can be used in either over the air or over the phone
remote programming.
DTMF Transpond: Used only if you have either a Connect Systems CD-1
or CD-2 Communications Decoder connected to the radio you will be
using to perform the remote programming. DTMF transponds let you
'see' the programming line number and the corresponding data value
on the front panel display after each programming command has been
sent.
DTMF transpond cannot be used when programming from a telephone
because CD-1/CD-2's are not designed to be connected to phone lines.
REMOTE PROGRAMMING ACCESS CODE
Before programming can begin, you must know the remote programming
access code. This code can be verified or user programmed using the
built in keyboard. The remote programming access code is located in
programming area No. 1 on line 5.4. The default access code is: 2345.
