Arcom Controllers RC210 (M128 CPU) firmware v4.0

many enhancements and improvements have been implemented.

Included is a new utility to automatically reorganize memory.

Please read the included README file for details on installation.

Courtesy tones now work 100% reliably.

There were some times where they wouldn't play when they should and played when they shouldn't.

It was also possible for them to be sent to the wrong port under some circumstances.

Under so​me circumstances, it was possible for an ID to be sent to the wrong port.

Timers that were programmed in minutes weren't always all that accurate.

In some cases It was possible for them to be off by as much as a minute.

They are now accurate to within ± 1 second.

Courtesy Tone #9 now defines what is played if someone unkeys on the "next" port, if your current port is linked to the next port (this is explained below).

Courtesy Tone #10 now defines what is played if someone unkeys on the "previous" port, if your port is linked to the previous port.

Either Voice or CW IDs may now be selected to be used as the Pending ID.

There is a new timer that looks for receiver activity during the past X seconds and, if no activity has occurred a Voice ID will be used.

If there was activity during this time, a CW ID will be used.

You may also force Pending ID's to ALWAYS be either Voice or CW.

You may disable Voice ID's completely, in which case all ID's will be done in CW.

Voice ID message length has been increased from 10 words to 22 words.

Vocabulary or DVR tracks may be used in any combination.

CW ID length remains at 15 characters each. "ID Extras" have been added, allowing the use of various 'run time' variables in ID messages, such as Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening, the time of day and the date.

Placement is selectable (before or after a Voice ID) or may be programmed to be a random selection.

You may now specify that ID speech be interrupted by a signal appearing on a port or mixed with that signal.

If interrupted, the ID automatically reverts to CW.

This can now be done independently of other speech messages.

It was not possible to interrupt a playing DVR track before.

It will now interrupt based on one of three scenarios: All Alarm inputs are now debounced (you can program the amount of time used for debouncing) to eliminate false triggers due to noise on the line.

Kerchunk filtering on each port is now fully programmable.

In other words, you can program how long it takes for a signal to be considered valid.

There are now 40 new Message Macros, each may store up to 10 vocabulary words and/or DVR tracks.

These are used in Command Macros You can now program the CW tone for each port to be dual tone.

It can still be programmed as a single tone if you want.

There are now 20 DTMF Memories; each one can store a sequence of up to 10 digits and send DTMF out any port on command.

A rece​iver may now be disabled, in which case the transmitter for that port will remain active for all other activities.

This differs from the existing Transmitter Enable/Disable commands.

Support for the Doug Hall RBI-1 Remote Base Controller Command Macros now have priorities, allowing you to specify whether or not it should be interrupted by some other activity.

Command Macros can be restricted to only work from any combination of Ports.

There are now a total of 90 Command Macros.

The original 40 are the same as they've been - capable of storing up to 15 functions and an additional 50 "Short" Command Macros that can store up to 4 functions, which are mainly used for remapping of functions.

No more command codes "hanging out in the open".

Only those functions you specifically map to be available, are available without first unlocking a Port.
