User Menu Options
There are several ways that a particular BTR-240 or TR-240 can
be custom configured to the unique and specific requirements of a
user. There are ten options that are available to both the BTR-240
and the TR-240. The TR-240 also has an additional three options
that are specific to the functionality of the beltpack.
1. Enter New Login Password
This option allows the user to change the BTR-240 or TR-240
login password. The maximum password length is 8 characters.
The default factory password is “legacy”. The user is never
allowed to change the login name of “rts240”.
2. Display/Edit Audio Encryption Key
This option allows the user to view the current audio encryption
key as well as modify it. The audio encryption must be the
same on all devices to communicate. The maximum key length is
80 characters. The key is upper and lower case sensitive Any
combination of letters, numbers, punctuation, and spaces can be
used. For example, “This RTS BTR-240 System is great!” may be
used as the encryption key.
By default, the encryption key is set to “2345”.
CAUTION:
Use a key that is easy to remember or write down the key
when changed. ALL beltpacks must have the same key
entered in order to communicate.
3. Display/Change Squelch Setting (TR-240 only)
The Squelch Setting menu option is only accessible for a TR-240
beltpack (the squelch setting for the BTR-240 is controlled from
the LCD screen). The squelch setting is a feature that can be
enabled to reduce noise and/or echo that is transmitted from the
beltpack. The squelch setting effectively acts as a noise gate at the
beltpack for the transmitting audio. If the beltpack audio input
level does not meet or exceed the level that is set by the squelch,
then no audio is transmitted.
For example, a squelch level of “00” is off and the beltpack will
transmit all audio. A very low squelch level of “01” or “02” will
transmit all audio but will reduce noise when the intercom
channels are inactive. A high squelch level of “10” or more will
prevent the beltpack from transmitting low levels of audio. If two
users are standing next to each other, this will significantly reduce
acoustic echo between those users.
By default, the squelch is set to “0”, or off. The squelch can be
modified to a level between 0-16.
4. Enable/Disable Full-Duplex (TR-240 only)
The Full-Duplex menu option is only accessible to a TR-240
beltpack. When full-duplex is enabled, the beltpack <TALK>
button will activate the microphone path as normal operation. For
some applications, a user may want to configure some of the
TR-240 beltpacks to be listen-only and never be able to transmit
and take up system bandwidth. When full-duplex is disabled, the
beltpack <TALK> button will never activate the microphone path
and a user will hear an error tone (three tone pulses) when the
button is pressed to notify the user that they are restricted to
half-duplex only.
By default, full-duplex is enabled and the <TALK> button will be
able to activate the microphone path as normal.
5. Enable/Disable Out of Range Alert (TR-240 only)
The Out of Range Alert menu option is only accessible to a
TR-240 beltpack. When a TR-240 beltpack is in wireless mode
and is out of range from an access point (BTR-240 or TR-240 in
master mode) an alert tone will sound in the beltpack headset to
notify the user that they should move closer to the access point for
reliable communication. This feature can also be disabled so that
no alert tone is heard in the headset.
By default, the Out of Range Alert is enabled.
6. Display/Edit IP Address
The IP address is a unique set of numbers to identify a particular
device on a network. The IP address must be different on each
device to operate and communicate with each other. Due to the
fact that the BTR-240 and TR-240s are packaged and sold
individually, it is possible that an IP address will match and need
to be changed.
The IP address format for the BTR-240 and TR-240 is
192.168.1.X
where ‘X’ is a number between 1 and 254.
CAUTION:
Be sure not to use the same IP address for more than one
system device. ALL base stations and beltpacks must have
different IP addresses in order to communicate.
NOTE: Each BTR-240 and TR-240 device comes with a sticker
that indicates the IP address it was set at the factory.
When changing the IP address, make sure to record, or
write it underneath the original IP address in permanent
marker.
