Telephone Operation
If the OSMAC Base Station is connected to a phone line, satellite commands can be initiated remotely through a touch-
tone telephone. In order for satellite commands to be initiated via telephone, the REMOTE PAGING feature of the
OSMAC Base Station must be enabled.
The OSMAC Base Station will answer the telephone line when properly configured. It will immediately respond with
“ENTER PAGER NUMBER.” The user can then enter the satellite address number on the telephone keypad followed
by the # key. The base station will then prompt “ENTER THE MESSAGE” at which the user enters the satellite command
to be sent followed by the # key. The base station will respond with “MESSAGE DELIVERED,” and will then transmit the
satellite command. After sending the satellite command, the OSMAC Base Station will again prompt: “ENTER PAGER
NUMBER.” The user can enter another satellite address number to continue sending satellite commands or hang up the
telephone to quit.
The base station will disconnect the phone line and report "TIME-OUT ERROR" if at any time the user takes more than a
few seconds to make an entry on the telephone keypad. The user must have to call the OSMAC Base Station again if
telephone operation is desired.
The following example demonstrates how to turn on station 2 of satellite address number 25 for 10 minutes using the tele-
phone interface:
User Enters: Telephone number for line connected to OSMAC Base Station.
OSMAC Base Station Response: Answers phone followed by "ENTER PAGER NUMBER."
User Enters: 025#
OSMAC Base Station Response: "ENTER THE MESSAGE"
User Enters: 75181002# (See note below)
OSMAC Base Station Response: "MESSAGE DELIVERED"
The OSMAC Base Station then transmits the command and returns to the “ENTER PAGER NUMBER” prompt.
Note: See Appendix B for a description of all satellite commands that can be initiated via the telephone interface.
