Basic blocks are populated with information first, then these blocks, along with different blocks, are assembled into larger blocks. Ultimately, one ofthe top-level blocks is used to make a call. The most basic block is a frequency. A frequency is combined with a mode, say USB or LSB, and a name to become a channel. Channels may be grouped into scan tables. Scan tables may be allocated to IIF networks. An IIF network defines the call system by which a call is made and the self address of the transceiver. Funher blocks may be assembled for the convenience of the user. A contact stores information on the typical calls that can be made to a person or organisation. Each call is defined by the HF network and the call type. How these blocks are assembled is up to the system administrator. There is, of course, finer detail that needs to be included, however, the basic structure of information in the transceiver is shown in Figure 39. 156 SENTIw-Hw TRANSCEIVER OPERATOR GUIDE smucmRE OF INFORMATION STRucTURE DF USER INFORMATION Figure 39: Basic structure of information in the Sentry-H transceiver HF neIworks SEva-HW TRANscEIvER OPERAmR GUIDE 157 STRUCTURE OF INFORMATION STRUCTURE DF coNTACT AND CALL INFDRMATION Structure of contact and call information A contact holds information on calls that you make to a particular person or organisation. You may have several methods of calling the same contact. Each method that you use is bundled into a call for that contact. The basic building blocks that you require to define a call to a contact is the HF network that will be used, the type of call that you want to make, and the address or telephone number at which the person or organisation will answer the call.

To mount the RFU: II Secure the mounting cradle to the surface with at least four screws, one in each comer ofthe cradle. NOTE: Ensure there is sufficient space at the rear of the cradle to clear the RFU heatsink. If the key is locked to the base of the cradle, flip the key away from the base until it can be rotated (see Figlre 41), then rotate the key in a counter clockwise direction. Place the RFU into the cradle and push it under the tabs at the rear of the cradle, then hold the clamp against the front of the RFU. Rotate the key clockwise, then push the key toward the base of the cradle to lock the RFU into position. Connecting a mobile Sentry-H station NOTE: A typical mobile station is shown in Figure 41. To connect a mobile station: Connect the plug ofthe handset cable to the URFU llandset port, then secure the locking ring tightly into position. Connect the plug at the end ofthe T cable (Codan part number 08-07079-0xx) to the socket at the end ofthtl’ cable lead from the RFU, then secure the locking ring tightly into position.
