Operation of Intercom Keys with Auto Functions

NOTE: Assignment of keys with auto functions is described in the programming section that follows.

Operation of keys with auto functions, is as follows:

Talk+auto follow Talk and listen can be activated separately. The listen assignment listens to whatever is

assigned to the talk key.

Talk+auto listen Both talk and listen activates when talk is activated.

Talk+auto mute Listen turns OFF when talk is activated.

Talk+auto reciprocal Listen is always ON and talk may be turned ON or OFF

Talk+auto table If an IFB talk key has an auto table listen assignment, talk and listen is independently

activated. The listen key listens to whatever is defined as the IFB Listen Source for the IFB

assigned to the talk key.

All Call Activating this key activates all keys to the left of it (up to, but not including another all call

key).

Talk+DIM If a point-to-point key has the DIM function as a level 2 talk assignment, activating the key

causes the crosspoint levels to diminish for any other intercom ports currently listening to the

same destination and are in the same DIM tables.

Operation of Intercom Keys with Options

Group Option Keys

Activating the master key in a key group activates all keys in the group according to each key’s individual key assignment.

Activating a slave key does not affect any other keys in the group (see “Key Options Menu, Key Groups” on page 102).

Solo Key

Activating a key with the solo option causes all other keys to turn OFF until the solo key is turned OFF. For more information,

see “Key Options Menu, Latching” on page 103.

Operation of Intercom Talk Keys with the Speaker DIM Setting

Activating any talk key causes the speaker or headphone volume at the keypanel to diminish by the amount specified in the

Dim menu item on the Service menu (see, “Audio Options Menu, Dim” on page 50).

NOTE: Do not confuse this with the Talk+DIM auto function previously described. Talk+DIM affects the speaker or

headphones on other keypanels when a particular talk key is activated on the keypanel. Speaker DIM affects the

speaker or headphone level on the keypanel when any talk key on the keypanel is activated.
