(1) Type of Service. Before placing the call, use the proper DAMA port configuration preset (from the service state display screen) for the service needed. On changing the port configuration preset with a connected terminal, the radio sends a status report B RCCOW to the notify channel controller of the new configuration. For DASA dedicated calls in 25-kHz AC DAMA, use a port configuration preset with a configuration code to signify DASA. Refer to current configuration codes. (2) Station(s) to be Called. DAMA destination presets are used in call menus to select station(s) to be called. TBAs associated with this destination preset are shown on the line below the DAMA destination preset name. (3) Precedence of the Call. Use the proper precedence for the importance of the required service. If a higher precedence than authorized is used, the call is denied. Not all terminals have access to every precedence level. Check with organization DAMA planners and authorization documents. At certain times, the channel controller can place precedence restrictions. The AN/PRC-117F does not allow calls below this precedence during restricted times. (4) Duration of the Call. Request enough time to complete the required communications; service is terminated automatically at the end of this time. See Figure C-9. Perform the following procedure to place a call using 25-kHz AC DAMA: (a) Press CALL key to bring up SELECT REQUEST TYPE. (b) Select PLACE A CALL and press ENT. (c) Select the destination to be called. Use the left/right arrow keys to select the DAMA destination preset number field, then enter the preset number needed. As an alternative, select the destination name field or scroll through the DAMA destination presets names with the up/down arrow keys. Press ENT when proper destination preset number or name is in view. The TBAs associated with this destination preset are shown at the bottom of the display. (d) At the next display screen, choose the precedence of the call and press ENT. Note: When the channel controller places system restrictions, it sets the minimum precedence required to place a call on the DAMA channel. The call precedence not authorized is no longer shown on AN/PRC-117F call menus. (e) Enter the required call duration in number of seconds, minutes, hours, or days (or input 0000 for indefinite). Use the left/right arrow keys to select either the unit digits field or the units field. Press ENT when correct time and units are selected. (f) The display returns to the main operational display. Service state changes to PENDING. Wait for the radio to send the request to the channel controller. (g) Observe the following service states: • PENDING—Radio terminal is negotiating the sending of the call request and action on it from the channel controller. Wait until it becomes active or a system message is received concerning the request. C-21
• ACTIVE—Service request has been granted, the normal indication to commence operation with the requested service. • QUEUED—Service request is being held and is granted when channel resources are free. Wait until the service is granted or terminate the call and try again later. • DEDICATED—Indicates that DASA operation has been granted. Operation in DASA is ruled by MIL-STD 188-181A covering 5-kHz and 25-kHz dedicated UHF SATCOM. C-22 • IDLE—The radio is not active or is setting up a service.
