AUDIO INPUT MONITORING
Line level audio applied to the rear panel RCA jack labelled
AUDIO IN may be monitored over the phone. This is commonly
used for monitoring program audio or room noise.
You may begin monitoring by following these steps:
1.
Log in to the RSI.
2.
Dial 994 to begin monitoring the audio input.
3.
Dial 995 to turn the audio off.
Audio monitoring will stop automatically 30 seconds after the last entry of command 994.
ONBOARD HELP
Built-in voice guidance on the RSI operates in either of two modes, terse or verbose. Verbose mode is designed to
help novice users navigate the various functions. The RSI confirms each command, speaks a context-sensitive help
prompt after each command, and prompts the user for a new command after a period of inactivity. Terse mode is
for advanced users who need minimal prompting. The RSI will confirm each command, and will only prompt for a
new command just prior to disconnecting.
The RSI operates in verbose mode by default. To switch to terse mode, dial 997. The RSI will remain in terse mode
for this and subsequent sessions, until a user dials 996 to switch back. In addition to the context-sensitive prompts
in verbose mode, any user can summon a complete list of available commands by entering 998. The RSI will read a
list of commands. You can interrupt the list with a new command at any time. The RSI will finish reading the
current phrase before executing the new command.
COMMAND TIMEOUTS
When the RSI expects input from the user, it will wait 60 seconds before disconnecting. If you need more time to
enter a command, enter 993.
DISCONNECTING
When you are done using the RSI, enter 999. This makes the line immediately available for new calls. If you hang
up without disconnecting, it may take 60 seconds or more for the RSI to release the phone line on its own,
depending on the duration of the command timeout setting.
WARNING: You may be able to issue commands while the audio is playing. However, depending on the
signal level it is possible for the audio input to overpower the DTMF.
TIP:
To monitor multiple stations or points in
the audio chain, use an audio switcher
controlled by the ARC Solo.
