GSM-R user procedures (cab radio Version 2)
The person with ‘Lead Responsibility’ will be responsible for re-establishing
communication, for example, in the case of a communication involving a signaller and
driver, the signaller would be responsible for re-establishing the communication.
If you are not the person with ‘Lead Responsibility’, then you must wait to be contacted by
the person with ‘Lead Responsibility’.
2.7 Call waiting and call hold
If someone using a cab radio is already involved in a call of an equal or higher priority,
they will be alerted to the incoming call and may:
ignore the incoming call and continue with the call (the incoming call will be rejected
after a set time, or the caller will hang up).
end the ongoing call which will automatically connect the incoming call. or
place the ongoing call on hold (telling the other party that they will be put on hold) and
accept the incoming call. Once the second call is answered the user may swap
between both calls. A call will remain on hold until the second call has been ended, at
which point the call on hold will be automatically re-connected (it is important that the
driver announces to the other party that the call is being re-continued).
2.8 Identifying who is making the call or who is being called
The identity of the caller and the called party will be shown on the cab radio display. The
form that this takes depends on the information that is available to the cab radio at the
time. For example, if an outgoing call is made by pressing the call signaller button, the cab
radio will look up the number of the signaller that the call is routed to (from the Network
Rail phone book) and display the listed signaller’s name (for example, Glasgow Panel 1).
The identity of the called party will be displayed once the call is connected and either
a corresponding entry is stored within the cab radio’s phonebook or the fixed terminal
sends its identity to the cab radio.
Similar information is shown on the fixed terminal in the form of a train’s TRN (assuming
the cab radio has been registered) or the stock number of the traction unit (if it has not
been registered). The train’s last reported position stored within the signalling system is
also shown or, if this is not available, the name of the cell area is shown.
2.9 Call divert
Call divert provides the option of forwarding incoming calls to another number. However,
this function must not be used as there is currently no operational requirement for it.
