8.5 Scan Channel Groups
You can store up to 10 scan groups, 20 channels per group.
The NBDP terminal unit can control radio equipment through channel scanning. In the
FEC mode, the radio equipment scans a number of channels (according to your se-
lection), stopping when an synchronous code is found. In the ARQ mode it stops when
your own ID code is detected in an incoming signal. Also, in the ARQ mode, the trans-
mitter is then tuned to the corresponding transmitter frequency, the communication
link is established and the traffic is automatically exchanged. Scanning resumes once
the link is disconnected.
8. NBDP PREPARATIONS
8-7
8.5.1 How to register scan channel groups
You can register ITU and user scan channels as follows:
1. Press the function key F5 then the 3 key to open the [Scan Entry] screen.
2. If [Create] is not underlined, press the →, ↑ and Enter keys to underline it.
3. With [Group Name] selected, enter a suitable group name.
Note 1: 10 group names can be entered. If you attempt to enter more, the mes-
sage "Scan group memory is full. Press any key to escape." appears. Press any
key then delete unnecessary group names to enter new ones.
Note 2: If the group name already exists, the message "Scan group by that name
already exists. Press any key to escape." appears. Press any key and change the
scan group name.
4. Press the ↓ key to select [Ch Dwell Time]. Enter channel dwell time in seconds.
Dwell time is the time in seconds the receiver waits on each channel in a scan
group before it selects the next frequency.
5. Press the ↓ key to select [(Receiving) Mode] then select the receiving mode;
[AUTO], [ARQ] or [FEC].
Note: [AUTO] is used to register a scanning channel group when both [ARQ] and
[FEC] exist in the same Scanning Channel Group. When you select a scan group
by the [Call Station] menu, the communication mode is controlled by the station
entry’s mode.
6. Press the ↓ key to select [Auto Search]. Select [ON] or [OFF].
[ON]: The radio stops scanning when it finds the strongest signal (highest S/N ra-
tio). To find the strongest signal, the radio scans all channels, which can take
some time. Therefore, use this setting where the signal propagation is poor.
[OFF]: The radio stops scanning on the first signal it finds. It is recommended to
select [OFF] when the signal propagation is good.
7. Press the ↓ key to select line No. 1 in the [Scanning Set Up] window.

8. Enter the channel number (ITU or user channels) then press the → key to select
[Scan].
Note: If you enter an invalid channel, the message "Channel by that number does
not exist. Press any key to escape." appears. Press any key then enter a valid
channel.
9. Press the ↓ key to select line No. 2. Enter a channel number.
10. Enter other channel numbers then press the Enter key. A confirmation message
appears.

[Scanning Group List] window.
12. To continue, press the Enter key twice then repeat steps 3 to 11.
13. Press the Esc key to close the menu.
Note 1: An ARQ from another station continues for 56 seconds. However, you
cannot receive via ARQ if the number of registered scan frequencies multiplied by
the channel dwell time is greater than 56 seconds.
Note 2: The selective FEC mode requires authentication of call ID. However, you
cannot receive via the selective FEC mode if the Call ID is not received with the
frequency for scan detention time. If you might be called via the selective FEC
mode, wait to receive the call on a single frequency, which you can set with the
[Set Frequency] in the [Operate] menu.

9. NBDP FILE OPERATIONS
This chapter mainly describes how to create, save, open, edit and print files. The [Edit]
menu provides a full lineup of editing facilities, including search and replace.
9.1 How to Open and Close Files
To create a telex message, you need to make a new file with the File Open command.
When you open a new file, it is placed (opened) in one of two working areas. When
both working areas are occupied, you must close a file to open a new file. This is done
with the File Close command.
How to open a file
9.2 How to Create Files
There are two modes for creating the files; for messages and for macros.
• For messages: You can enter only the characters which are sendable in NBDP
comminication. Press the function key F1 then the 1 key to create a message file.
• For macros: You can enter only the characters ( ) which are used in a macro
command. Press the function key F1 then the B key to create a macro file.

Note: Do not use the lower case letters, or the symbols #, &, *, $ and % in telex mes-
sages. Also, do not put "$$$" in the middle of a TX message, but at the end. The com-
munication line is automatically disconnected when this string is detected.
To enter "$$$" when editing a message, press the Ctrl + Q keys for IB-585. For IB-
583, enter "$$$" with using the $(4) key.
9.3 How to Save a File
IB-583
Use only 2HD type floppy disks. Insert the floppy disk with care. Rough handling can
destroy the information stored inside. To eject the disk, press the Eject button on the
left side of the floppy disk drive then remove the disk. Do not eject the disk while the
operating lamp is lit, otherwise the contents of the disk can be damaged.
IB-585
Use SD cards 2GB or below, or SDHC cards 32GB or below. Insert or eject the SD
card with care when the power is off. Rough handling can destroy the information
stored inside. When ejecting the SD card with power-on, execute [Remove SD Card]
in the [File] menu (see "Function key F1: [File] menu" on page 7-4) then remove the
SD card.
Note: When using the SD card after executing [Remove SD Card], remove the SD
card then insert it.
9.3.1 How to format floppy disks or SD cards
