C2. Placing a Call via the CPI
Auto Link Switch Enabled - To place a call using a Cell Phone
Interface (CPI) with Auto Link Switch enabled is no different than
using the Air-Ground link. Place the handset off hook and press “1”
for voice, “3” for Fax or “4” for Modem. Dial the ten (10) digit phone
number of the party you are trying to reach. If the MagnaStar system
is unable to see a usable ground station within range it will auto link
switch the call to the Cell Phone Interface unit.
NOTE: Auto Link Switch must be enabled prior to the call attempt
(see Section VI, D2)
Auto Link Switch Disabled - If Auto Link Switch is not enabled you
may manually select the “GroundCell” link. To select the link press the
“6” key until “GroundCell” is displayed on the top of the “Main”
menu in inverse video. Press “1” for voice, “3” for Fax or “4” for
Modem and dial the ten digit telephone number you wish to reach.
NOTE 1: The Cell Phone Interface (CPI) takes input from the Weight On Wheels
switch. On take off the cellular link will be disabled.
NOTE 2: Credit Billing is not applicable to GroundCell calls.
