4.13 Front Panel Programmable Buttons
The Consolette supports three programmable buttons on units with a control head present. These
are located underneath the Speaker Mute Button. These three buttons may be assigned to either
Radio or Consolette functions.
When configured for Radio Functions, the functionality that can be programmed onto these
buttons is the same as that defined in the APX CPS for the Keypad Mic programmable
sidebuttons.
Consolette functionality that may be assigned to the dedicated buttons currently includes:
• Crosspatch Enable/Disable
• Auxiliary Control Enable/Disable
• Over-the-Air Alert Tones
NOTE: There is no softmenu or label support on the auxiliary display to indicate the functionality
of these buttons.
4.14 Emergency Alarm Decode
The Consolette supports Emergency Alarm decode on MDC Conventional, ASTRO Conventional,
Type II Trunking and APCO P25 Trunking signaling types. Using APX CPS, the Consolette can be
configured to display the ID on the attached O5 control head (if present), sound an alert tone, and
activate a general purpose output when an Emergency Alarm is decoded.
NOTE: The Consolette’s transceiver can only detect trunking Emergency Alarms when on the
control channel. If the Consolette is on a voice channel, it will not be able to decode the
control channel and will miss the Emergency Alarm. This feature is not recommended for
high usage systems where the Consolette is the only device decoding the alarms.
IDs can also be provided to the ACIM interface. New with the APX 7500 Consolette is the ability to
generate an Emergency ACK in response to the Emergency Alarm via its ACIM interface. Refer to
the ACIM Section 4.15.3 for further details.
IDs can also be provided to the MCD 5000 interface. The APX Consolette has the ability to
generate an automatic Emergency ACK in response to receiving the Emergency Alarm. Refer to
the MCD 5000 Section 4.16 for further details.
