Introduction
The 2060 HF Telephone interconnect is designed to provide users on an HF
network full interconnection with the international telephone network. It is designed
to be operated as a completely automatic facility with no requirement for human
operator supervision. A high level of security is incorporated to eliminate system
abuse.
This manual gives a brief system overview and details the operation of the 2060
telephone interconnect assuming the 2060 has already been setup by a system
supervisor.
System Overview
The 2060 telephone interconnect allows HF network stations to become extensions
of the international telephone network.
The 2060 telephone interconnect provides a fully automated interface between the
international telephone network and an HF network. Stations in an HF network
equipped with selective call systems based on CCIR 493 can call up to 98 preset
telephone numbers that can be stored in the 2060 telephone interconnect. Stations
fitted with a “Telcall” facility, based on selective call format CCIR 493, can direct dial
any telephone number on the international telephone network. Telephone
subscribers can dial into the 2060 telephone interconnect from anywhere on the
international telephone network and call any station on the HF network.
The Barrett 2060 telephone interconnect provides full network management
facilities including multiple telephone access levels for HF stations, call logging and
remote supervision by dial up computer links.

2060 Rear panel description
SPEAKER - Output for loudspeaker (Barrett P/N: BCA20015)
RS-232 - Interface for connecting 2060 directly to a PC for
programming and downloading of log information.
BUS - Future expansion port.
AUXILIARY - Used for connecting a second transceiver to the 2060 in
a remote RX/TX configuration.
LINE -This RJ11C provides the telephone line connection.
This is used by the 2060 when it goes “Online”.
PHONE - This RJ11C jack allows the connection of a telephone
set (telephone) to 2060. The telephone can be
connected to the telephone line when the 2060 is in
“Manual” mode, allowing the handset to be used as a
standard telephone for receiving and making telephone
calls. When the unit is switched to “Online” this jack is
disconnected from both the line and the unit until the
2060 goes back to an “Offline” state.
POWER - Power input and speaker output for use with the 2022
power supply.
TRANSCEIVER - This is the connector for the interface between a
transceiver and the 2060. It contains transmit and
receive audio and key lines.

2060 Operating Modes
There are two operating modes available with the 2060 telephone interconnect, one
is automatic mode and the other is manual mode. Overviews of both modes follow.
Automatic Mode Overview
In automatic mode the 2060 can:-
- scan all channels programmed for scan looking for an incoming Selcall,
Telcall or ALE call (if ALE is enabled) from an HF network station.
- on receipt of a Selcall, Telcall or ALE call, check that the station calling is
registered in the database and has the required access privilege
programmed by the system supervisor, if so it then initiates a telephone call
and connects the telephone party with the HF station.
- return to scan when the call is complete.
- answer an incoming telephone call, prompt the telephone caller with
recorded instructions on how to select a channel and how to send a call to
connect to a user on the HF network.
- send periodic beacons. If selected, beacons will be sent on all channels to
help the user determine if a particular channel is suitable for communication
at the required time. A beacon signal can also be requested from the
transceiver being called to check if a particular channel is suitable for use at
the required time.

Facilities available to the telephone user
A telephone subscriber using a DTMF telephone can access the following facilities
provided by the 2060 telephone interconnect. These facilities are available after the
2060 has answered the call and played its recorded instruction messages. To make
a call to a station on the HF network a channel must be selected and the Selcall
number of the station required must be entered, after which the 2060 will send the
call and if successful an audible reply will be heard from the station being called. If
this audible reply (revertive call) is not heard another channel should be selected
and the call repeated.
If ALE is enabled the telephone user need only enter the 2 digit ID of the ALE HF
station to be called, the ALE system will automatically select the best channel for
connection. Once an ALE connection is made a voice annunciation will be heard by
the telephone user.
Selecting a channel
The 2060 can store up to 50 channels. These are selected as follows:-
- press the two digits, representing the channel number required, on the
DTMF key pad of the phone being used. Valid channel numbers are from 01
to 50. Once the second number is pressed, the request is processed and a
stored voice will repeat back the channel number.
Note:- channel numbers must be two digits in length. e.g. Enter 03 instead of 3.
Note:- once channel entry commences HF receiver noise will disappear until the
DTMF function being entered is complete. This lack of HF receiver noise identifies
that you are still in the DTMF request sequence.
Sending a beacon request
A beacon request is used to test to see if a channel is "open" to an HF station you
may wish to call later with a Selcall. A beacon request does not alert the HF station
being called. After the beacon request is sent a confirmation tone (revertive call) will
be heard from the HF station, the strength of this confirmation tone (revertive call)
indicates the quality of the channel for communication. If no confirmation tone
(revertive call) is heard try another channel.
A beacon request can be sent to any HF station that has an access level that allows
it to receive Selcalls (access levels are set in the 2060 by the system supervisor
and are described in the setup section within this manual).
To send a beacon request, press the '*'(star) key on the telephone key pad.
If the '*' key is recognised the receiver noise will disappear. Some DTMF
telephones do not send the '*' and '#' tones. This should be tested before the
system is first used.
Then enter the 4 or 6 digit Selcall ID of the transceiver you wish to contact using the
telephone key pad. Press the '*’(star) then the ‘#' (hash) buttons to send the beacon
request. The tones of the beacon request Selcall being sent will now be heard.
