User`s guide
For OLED channels that have two buttons, the check 
boxes enable or disable the buttons. 
The Latch option, when checked, enables support for 
the Tap-and-latch feature. Useful when setting up a key 
as a monitor channel to a source and tapping the key 
latches the source to the speaker. 
Select  stations have  support for “Shift pages”.  A 
Shift page is the complete conguration of the keys. So 
one shift page may be the keys required to interface with 
all  station  associated  with  Studio  A  and  another  shift 
page can be dened for different grouping of stations as-
sociated with Studio B. To create a new shift page, select 
the <new> option from the drop down. This will present 
a blank key assignment page and allow for the congu-
ration of each key. At the bottom of the assignments is 
a “Save as” text box for naming the shift page. Pressing 
the Apply button will save the changes made. If the need 
is to create another shift page with only a few changes, 
make those changes, change the Save as eld and check 
the Save as copy option. This will prevent the creating 
of a fresh un congured key assignments. By changing 
the Save as eld and not checking the Save as copy will 
rename the shift in view.
When  more  than  two  shift  pages  are  dened,  the 
CALLSTACK will provide a Shift option that allows the 
user to view all shifts, select a shift, and assign the shift 
to the front panel.
External Source setup
Each  station  has  an  option  to  dene  sources  other 
than intercom stations. External sources can be audio 
sources that are used for monitoring, other two way au-
dio device that will use GPIO for signaling, or integra-
tion with Axia  consoles return  feeds. Dened external 
sources will be presented in the drop down list of the key 
assignment conguration.
Each external source dened will be a row and many 
options are available within the row, but not all elds are 
required. Presented below is the function of each option. 
Case examples on how to use these options is presented 
in the Case examples at the end of the chapter.
Label
The  label eld  is used to give the dened  source  a 
name that is used in the Key Assignment drop down list-
ing and is shown in the OLED display to users. Provide a 
Label value that is suitable to dene the source.
Livewire Channel and Stream Type
The  channel  value  denes  the  source  that  is  to  be 
listened to or in one case denes the source that will be 
interacted  with. The option for Stream  Type denes  if 
this is a source or a return feed from an Axia control sur-
face. If these values are not known, the “Browse” button 
can be used to view active sources on the network and 
selected from a pop-up window.
Trigger (Trg) Level 
The trigger level property is the same as that dened 
per station. Higher value levels are for greater impor-
tance. Trigger level between stations supports acknowl-
edgement function where trigger level with external 
sources is only for dimming and muting conditions. 
GPIO Port
External  sources  may  have  GPIO  ports  associated 
with their Talk and Listen states for signaling to external 
device. The options available in the drop down show the 
virtual  GPIO  ports  available  with  the  station.  The  vir-
tual port is either routed to a physical port or used with 
control  software  (i.e.  Pathnder).  More  about  GPIO  is 
covered in the following section.
