2.13 Setting up a command group
The default system call number for the conference is #07.
This will make all the AlphaConnect P211 communication stations ring, or if ‘Direct-in’ is selected, it will make the
communication station participate in the conference. When ringing, the call is answered at the P211 communication
station by pressing the PTT button. The P211 communication stations answering can be connected as speakers or
listeners as set up when configuring the command group.
If the call is made from a AlphaConnect P411 communication station to one or more AlphaConnect P211 communication
stations, the speech direction of the call can be controlled only by the microphone key of the AlphaConnect P411
communication station initiating the call.
The command call can be set up as a fixed group or as a dynamic group.
• A fixed group has the AlphaConnect P211 communication stations participating pre-programmed in a list. Refer to the
AlphaConnect Installation Manual for setup of command group.
• A dynamic group gives the user the possibility of choosing the participants when making the call.
In both cases the initiator is the master, and the AlphaConnect P211 communication stations are all slaves. The master
will be in conversation with the primary slave, (which is the one that latest have pushed a PTT button or which is chosen
by the master to be the primary slave (by the master’s press of one of the number keys representing the station)). The
master of the command TalkBack call will control the speech direction by pressing or releasing the microphone key, or
a slave will push the PTT button and thereby force itself to be the primary slave part speaking. All AlphaConnect P211
communication stations being the secondary slaves will just listen to the conversation, and can hear both the master and
the primary slave.
2.14 Switching the speaker part
When the conference is set up, the slaves can gain the right to speak by pressing the PTT button. The bridge telephone
uses the REDIAL button as PTT. Pressing the PTT button of any substation will turn the speech direction to be from
the station to all other. Releasing the PTT button of a substation will result in no one speaking until one of the others
presses their PTT button. Pressing the PTT button of the bridge telephone toggles the speaking part to be either the
bridge telephone or the primary slave.
2.15 Controlling the conference from the initiating telephone
The conference can be entirely controlled by the bridge telephone. The slaves have numbers as they are dialed or
entered in the list of conference members.
When the bridge telephone presses the DTMF key corresponding to the substation number, the speech direction will be
forced to be from the selected slave. The selected slave will then be the primary slave of the conference. The speech
direction can be swapped between the primary slave and the secondary slaves by pressing the REDIAL button (as PTT)
of the bridge telephone.
2.16 Music when free
If an audio in channel is configured, the AlphaConnect P411 and AlphaConnect P421 communication stations can call
the ‘music when free’ system call number #061, which makes the station open the speaker and listen to the music input
channel. If a call comes in or the keyboard is activated for a call, the music is stopped. When the conversation is ended,
the music channel is opened again until the system call number #060 is used to cancel the ‘music when free’ option.
2.17 Do not disturb
Dial the ‘Do not disturb’ system call number to make the telephone enter do-not-disturb mode. In this mode calls are
denied, and the caller will hear the 3 short tones, indicating that the person called like to be left without telephone calls.
The do-not-disturb mode has a timeout of 8 hours, after which normal mode is re-entered. In do-not-disturb, calls can be
transferred to another extension, either fixed or predetermined. It is also possible to enter do-not-disturb mode with the
exception that certain extensions can still call in.
The default system call number for ‘do not disturb’ is #02.
Refer to the AlphaConnect Installation Manual for setup of ‘Do not disturb’.
