5.6 Call definitions
Using the Call definition page, call definitions can be defined.
Call definitions are used to make announcements, are custom made, and could contain several
characteristics as shown in the table following. To do so:
1. Click the Call definitions page:
– A call definition screen appears with the items as listed in the following table.
2. Select, enable, disable or enter (text in) each of the following items of the call definition:
Item Value Description
Name Selection Shows the name of the available call
definition (dropdown list). When no call
definition can be selected, create one by
using the Add button.
Priority Selection
(32‑255)
Select the call/announcement priority of the
call definition from the list (255 highest
priority). See Priority and announcement
type, page 118 , if required.
Maximum call duration Selection
(10, 20 and
40s. 1, 2, 5, 10,
and 20min and
Unlimited
(default)).
Selection of a Maximum call duration avoids
blocking of zones by a high priority call/
announcement that was started but not
stopped, either by accident or because it
contains e.g. infinitely looping messages.
Start tone Selection If the call/announcement must use a start
tone, select a tone from the Start tone
dropdown list. See Recorded messages, page
68 and Tones, page 153 for an overview of
pre‑defined .WAV audio files.
Attenuation Selection
(0dB‑20dB)
Adjust the attenuation to set the volume level
of the Start tone.
Messages Selection If the announcement must contain a specific
named Message, select it in the left area box
and click the > button to add it to the
Messages box of the call definition. This
Message name can also be selected on the
call station display, if this Message function is
configured. See also Call station, page 59 >
Recorded/Alert Messages.
Attenuation Selection
(0dB‑20dB)
Adjust the attenuation to set the volume level
of the selected Messages.
Repetitions Selection
(0‑10/Infinite)
Use the Repetitions box to specify how many
times the selected Messages must be
repeated.
0 = play once, 1 = repeat once (play message
twice).
