Question   When I press the Blue "Run" button in designer nothing happens, what are the possible causes?   Answer   Most commonly found in Window XP, during the install phase a file called "CsoftPath.txt" was not created or has a bad file location path loaded.  This file would be located in C:\Program Files\Telex Communications\CSoft  If not present you can create this file by pressing the "Run" next to Help on the toolbar in Designer, then press the "Select C-Soft Location"  Point Designer to the csoftruntime.exe file location.             © Copyright Bosch Security Systems All rights reserved.

Question   How can I mute my transmit audio coming back as receive on another line?   Answer   In some radio systems, when several RF channels are the same to each other in frequency, transmitting on one channel can cause others to break squelch and make noise. Although this is in reality likely an RF problem that is best dealt with by addressing the root causes—antenna proximity, orientation, and TX power output levels, etc., Telex C-Soft can help mask these symptoms by providing audio RX blocks for selected adjacent channel lines. RX blocks programmed into C-Soft will automatically mute the lines selected in the list during console transmit. (Other Telex "hard" consoles also have this feature.) For example, if Line 1, a VHF channel is randomly causing three other nearby VHF channels, Line 2, Line 3 and Line 4 to unsquelch during transmit, RX block should be programmed for those channels as shown in Figure 1. This screen is found in Edit/Set up per line parameters/Frequency. Note: per-line mute buttons must be present in the design for RX Block to work. Figure 1 RX Block delay time RX Block delay, found in Edit/Global parameters/Audio, sets the amount of time in milliseconds, that the muting time is continued after console ptt stops.  This can be useful for masking repeater squelch tails and network latency of parallel line RX traffic, see Figure 2.   Figure 2                   © Copyright Bosch Security Systems All rights reserved.

Question   Why do my C-Soft volume sliders provide no level changes to receive audio?   Answer   In early versions of C-Soft Designer, audio volume sliders (main, per-line and nena) had a default of 0db gain, basically the slider is off.  We suggest increasing the maximum gain to 12 db thus allowing for amplification of lower RX levels.    Length of Sliders - Slider length affects the resolution of the control, so the shorter the slider, the more abruipt changes will be in volume level.  The most common method of configuring a slider so that it has sufficient length/resolution is to make it a vertical slider, usually alongside the line it controls.             © Copyright Bosch Security Systems All rights reserved.

Question   How do you setup a DSP-223 with repeater enable and disable tones?   Answer   First make sure no relay is set for F01. If there is a relay set, you can delete it. Click in the relay window and press the delete key. Also set the Relay Group to 2. Second set your enable ftone and disable ftone. Set F05 to relay 1 and group 1 and F06 to relay 2 and group 1. See example below. Once this is saved and put into the DSP-223 you will see the relays 1 or 2 close when you use F05 or F06. Note: These are latching relays, so to toggle between the relays you will have to use F05 or F06. One will be on and the other off.         © Copyright Bosch Security Systems All rights reserved.
