Basic Text Editing
This page describes the method for Entering Text, such as people's names, into the units
database for Directory, Visitor Greeting or Custom Prompts.
Command to activate: #9# starts at beginning, or #9 123# starts at Resident Code 123.
Note: For those that have programmed previous Trigon Products, this new method replaces
the old method of entering text information! It was changed because this new method is far
more intuitive and doesn't result in appreciably more key strokes than the former method.
Like the former method: The "*" key moves the cursor up one line.
Like the former method: The "#" key moves the cursor down one line.
Like the former method: The "0" key moves the cursor right one position.
To obtain a letter, just tap the key with the letter desired. The first letter on the key
is the first letter displayed. Tap the same key again for the next letter and again for
the 3rd letter. A 4th tap will produce the numerical value of the key.
It's that easy.
Note: The "1" key has a few extra taps enabled. These are for letters not found on a
standard keypad and some punctuation that may prove useful.
The "1" key:
1st tap produces Blank Space.
2nd tap produces letter "Q"
3rd tap produces letter "Z"
4th tap produces number "1"
5th tap produces period character "."
6th tap produces minus character "-"
7th tap produces slash character "/"
8th tap produces colon character ":"
Note: You cannot edit text via touch tones. Allowing this has resulted in too many errors
in past products because the person programming is basically working blind.
To move the cursor left, you must use the "0" key and move the cursor right until it wraps
back to the the start of the line. In most cases, it may be faster to jump up or down one
line then return to the desired line. Generally, when you progress to another line, the
cursor is homed on the left side of the next line. So the sequence: "*#" or "#*" is the 2
key stroke equal of a cursor home to left command.
Note: When entering names in the directory, do not include a string of periods to connect
the name with the code as this is now done automatically by the unit during directory
browsing by a visitor.
Note: You do not need to place the Resident Name in any alphabetical order as this is done
automatically for you, after you exit the programming mode.
To EXIT the text editor: Hold down the "*" key for several seconds until the ack-tones are
heard. This method always saves your current editing efforts.
You may also hang up via handset or by pushing the call button. However this method
doesn't promise to retain changes made on the current line or the whole screen.
Note: You cannot access lower case letters via keypad programming. This Keypad Edit method
is only provided for those that prefer to program the hard way with the greatest possible
discomfort levels.
Alternative programming via Modem, Lan or direct PC connection allows the full font and
all punctuation characters to be accessed in a much more comfortable manner. And the
support software is free from Trigon. It's called TriCom Professional Revision 4.0.
