Manual for OSMAC

Base Station Operation

The OSMAC Base Station operates in two modes: Page Mode and Program Mode. Page Mode is used to send commands to satellite controllers. Program Mode is used to configure satellites, groups, and system features.

Manual Operation

Commands can be sent via the built-in keypad, a hand-held radio with a DTMF keypad, or a telephone. The base station supports a database of satellite addresses from 1 to 399.

Keypad Operation

Enter the satellite address number followed by F1 to send a command. For example, to command satellite 33 to turn on station 17 for 5 minutes, enter 33 F1, then 75180517 F1.

Hand-Held Radio Operation

Use the * 9 sequence to initiate a remote command. The base station will prompt for the pager number and message. Alternatively, the entire command sequence can be entered at once.

Telephone Operation

With REMOTE PAGING enabled, touch-tone commands can be sent via a telephone line. The process involves entering the pager number followed by #, then the message followed by #.

Advanced Hand-Held Radio Operation
