turn on to their preset levels or the last level set as determined in zone setup. Each zone will
retain its own volume, mute, source select and power controls so a zone within a group can ‘opt
out’ at any time by selecting another source or turning off. It is not necessary to set an
Entertainment Group for a given zone, so if the preference is have a zone not be included in any
Entertainment Groups, select: NONE.
To select Paging Group:
1. In the SETUP BY NUMBER PAGE 1 screen, press the ▼/▲ Navigation Button [oval 16] to
position the cursor next to ENTERTAINMENT GROUP.
2. Using the ◄/► Navigation Button [oval 16], select the Entertainment Group for the zone
being configured: NONE, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 or 8.
To exit setup, press the Exit Button [oval 17]. To continue Zone Setup, position the cursor next
to PRIORITY and continue to the next section.
Priority
This setting sets the level of authority that any given keypad has relative to any other keypads
currently active in the system. The system default is MEDIUM for all keypads meaning, any
keypad can select and control any common source at any time, if no other system defaults have
been changed. NOTE: A source first selected by the Main Room can only be controlled by a
Remote Room if the Remote Room’s Priority is HIGH. Otherwise, in any room set to MEDIUM or
LOW a message: IN USE BY MAIN ROOM will appear on the KP21 Keypad Information
Display [hexagon 13]. The source can be selected and monitored (audio/video), but cannot be
controlled until the Main Room selects another source or turns off.
If three keypads are active (ON) and one is set to HIGH, one is set to MEDIUM and one is set to
LOW, the keypad set to high, will always be able to do what it wants. The medium keypad will be
able to do what it wants, unless it conflicts with a source selected by the ‘high’ keypad. In this
case, a message IN USE BY HIGH PRIORITY KEYPAD will appear on the ‘medium’ keypad’s
Information Display [hexagon 13] for about five seconds. The medium keypad will not be
allowed to execute the function selected or any other function for that source as long as that
source is selected by the ‘high’ keypad. Once the ‘high’ keypad selects another source or turns
off, the medium keypad will then be able to control the previously locked source.
The same rules apply to the LOW keypad, but in this case it has two levels of higher authority to
contend with. If a source is already selected by the high or medium keypads, the low keypad will
only be able to select a source already selected by one of the higher priority keypads, but will not
be able to control it until the keypad with priority selects another source or turns off.
If all three keypads select the same source, and ‘high’ turns off or selects another source,
‘medium’ will assume control, and ‘low’ will still have to wait for ‘medium’ to turn off or select
another source in order to have control of the selected source.
To set Priority:
1. In the SETUP BY NUMBER PAGE 1 screen, press the ▼/▲ Navigation Button [oval 16] to
position the cursor next to PRIORITY.
2. Using the ◄/► Navigation Button [oval 16], set the priority for the zone being configured:
HIGH, MEDIUM, LOW.
To exit setup, press the Exit Button [oval 17]. To continue Zone Setup, position the cursor next
to PERMISSION and continue to the next section.
Permission
