Programming the ASAP Dispatcher DP1
The ASAP Dispatcher DP1 has many features which can be used to customize its operation.

Many of these features have either feature settings or timing parameters associated directly with their operation. Therefore, read the following sections carefully to obtain the best results when programming.
Connect the ASAP Dispatcher DP1 as shown, using a tone phone (rotary/pulse dialing phones cannot program the ASAP Dispatcher DP1).

To enter the programming mode, take the phone off-hook. Once a programming entry is made, the Dispatcher DP1 allows 8 seconds between tone commands before exiting the programming mode. Therefore, it would be beneficial to write down all programming changes before entering the programming mode.

Once a complete tone command is entered, it must be followed by the * key, which stores it into memory. After you enter the * key, the Dispatcher DP1 will beep 3 times for correct entries (invalid entries produce a single tone). You can continue with changing other features or feature settings as needed for your application. When all programming changes are complete, simply hang up the phone and the Dispatcher is set for the selected options.

   Call Hold
This feature allows the Dispatcher DP1 to place the calling device on hold after it dials a phone number. (This allows the Dispatcher DP1 to restrict the calling device from hearing the call routing process.) The Dispatcher DP1 then transmits a series of tones and listens for the answer tone from the called device. Once it receives the answer tone, it stops sending tones and releases the line to the calling device. If the dialed number is busy or disconnected, the Dispatcher DP1 will also release control of the line.

With the Call Hold feature OFF, the calling device will have control of the call. The Dispatcher DP1will simply produce the selected tones as programmed.

   Stand-By Mode
This feature allows the Dispatcher DP1 to be activated or deactivated on an individual call basis. This feature is dependent upon feature 0 Dispatcher DP1 Operation which must be turned ON for this feature to operate.

With the Stand-By Mode ON, the Dispatcher DP1 can be activated by entering # # at the end of a dialing string (# * disables the Dispatcher DP1). The Dispatcher DP1 will then produce the tone set in Tone Selection. If feature 5 Stand-By Tone Selection is turned ON, the Dispatcher DP1 will produce the selected tone according to the single digit following # # regardless of the setting in Tone Selection.

   Stand-By Mode Tone Selection
This feature sets the Dispatcher DP1 to transmit a tone on a single call other than the tone set in Tone Selection.

With the Stand-By Mode ON, the Dispatcher DP1 can be activated by entering # # at the end of a dialing string and will produce the selected tone according to the single digit following # # (regardless of the setting in Tone Selection). Example: A phone number 7 5 1 7 0 0 0 0 # # 3 will transmit a series of 1300Hz tones. If the last digit (3) is omitted, the tone selected from the previous call will be transmitted.

A single digit will assign tone transmission as follows:

0   1000Hz
1   1100Hz Fax Calling Tone
2   1200Hz
3   1300Hz Modem Calling Tone
4   1400Hz
5   1500Hz
6   1600Hz
7   1700Hz
8   2100Hz European Answer Tone

   Busy Tone Detection
This feature allows the Dispatcher DP1 to prematurely terminate a call if it detects a busy tone. When this occurs, all timers will zero out and be set for the modem to re-dial.

If the Busy Tone Detection feature is turned OFF, you must set the Dispatcher DP1 to stop transmitting tones and drop the line 5 seconds before the connected device's time-out period expires.

Example: A modem dials a phone number through the Dispatcher DP1 and if the modem stays on-line 45 seconds, the Dispatcher DP1 should stay on-line for 40 seconds of the call. This allows the Dispatcher DP1 to have time to route a call to the proper device.

To calculate the time on-line, use the following formula:

(Tone Time + Silence Time) x Number of Tones + Tone Delay = time on-line

The factory setting for Busy Tone Detection feature is ON.
