Mute Speaker
Tapping  the  Mute  Speaker  button  alternately  en-
ables and disables the audio from the local speaker.

The Select control is used to scroll through various 
menu options and to and select from pending calls. See 
the section that follows on the CALLSTACK channel. 
Group
The Group button enables the user to talk to multiple 
users with one press.
Assign/Enter
This button is used to assign devices to the IP-Inter-
com Group. It doubles as the “enter” key. See Chapter 2 
for details on Group functions.
CALLSTACK Controls (20-Station Panel)
This channel is used for monitoring and calling sta-
tions that are not assigned to a specific Talk/Listen chan-
nel on the user’s panel. See Chapter 3 for details.
Keypad (20-Station Panel)
A 12-button telephone-style  dialing keypad will be 
used for features to be added in the future.
Filmcap Buttons (Programmable)
The model IC.1 rackmount 10-key Intercom station, 
shown in  Figure 1-2, features 10 buttons that are used 
in  the  same  manner  as  the  Talk/Listen  buttons  on  the 
20-channel unit. These functions are programmed in the 
web  browser  configuration.  Button  caps  are  manually 
labelled using your  favorite word processor or spread-
sheet  software.  Create  the  1/2  inch square  labels  for 
these buttons. Use your fingers to pop off the button cap 
and insert your label behind the clear button cap.
Livewire Status Indicators
Four LEDs  indicate  the  status  of  the  Livewire and 
Ethernet connections, as well as system synchronisation 
as follows:
Net
When illuminated continuously, this LED represents 
the presence of a live Ethernet link to another Ethernet 
100Base-T  device.  If  no  Ethernet  link  is  present,  this 
LED flashes slowly.
Sync and Master
Only one of these two LEDs should be illuminated.  
The SYNC LED indicates the receipt of clock informa-
tion from another (Master) Livewire device. The MAS-
TER LED indicates that this device is acting as the mas-
ter clock source for the Livewire network. 
Livewire
This LED indicates that Livewire traffic is present on 
the connected Ethernet segment. 
NOTE: Axia console mounted IP-Intercom sta-
tions use the Control Room Microphone and the 
Preview speaker  instead of the  mic/line  inputs 
and front panel speaker of the rack-mount mod-
els discussed here. 
Please refer to Chapter 2: Setup and Operation for 
detailed descriptions of the IP-Intercom station controls.
