FRONT-PANEL CONTROLS AND INDICA-
TORS
The front-panel controls and indicators include:
• Communication-error indicator
• Talk/listen selectors and indicators
• Answer Back facility
• Function buttons
COMMUNICATION-ERROR INDICATOR
If the panel should lose data communication with the matrix frame, all
of the red lights on the front of the panel will flash slowly.
When data communication is restored, the panel will automatically
return to normal operation.
SPEAKER/HEADSET LEVEL CONTROLS
To adjust the speaker or headset volume, use the knob labeled
“intercom,” as described below. The speaker volume can also be
affected by three software-controlled functions: Page Override, Mute
Level, and Listen Level Adjustment.
INTERCOM VOLUME CONTROL
The “intercom” volume control sets the overall level of all signals
coming from the matrix frame, except for the page mode, which is
controlled by an internal software function (see the next section “Page
Override”).
PAGE OVERRIDE
Page Override is a special function in the panel in which the intercom
volume defaults to a preset to a value when commanded to by the
central matrix. Any fixed group can be assigned the page override
function through the configuration program.
The configuration program determines preset value for each panel. If
the preset value is lower than the setting of the front-panel volume
control, the volume will be controlled by the front panel control.
MUTE LEVEL
This turns down the speaker level when any talk is active at the panel.
The amount of muting (measured in dB) is set by the configuration
program for each panel. This function helps prevent possible feedback.
The maximum amount of muting is 15 dB below full volume. If the front
panel control is set below that level, then muting will have no effect.
