Channel Select Menu
Figure 4-10 shows the panel’s channel select menu:
Fig. 4-10: Channel Select Menu
This menu shows a list of channels. The currently selected channel is highlighted. If the list has
more than 12 channels, scrolling is enabled.
Press any channel button to select that channel. The channel selection is immediate, although it
take about one second for the channel to be acquired. If your iMC-Panel-300 is under “automatic
gang mode” and you choose the default channel, all channels in the automatic channel gang
are selected and gang selection is enabled. A multiple channel selection takes slightly longer
than one second.
However, the channel selection is not immediate if the channel (or one of the ganged channels)
is in use at a panel that does not share. Either you will be given the opportunity to preempt (i.e.,
“kick”) the other panel or you will be denied access to the channel. See
Preemption , following.
S When you and other operators share the same channel, the other panels reflect any change
you make, and your control panel reflects changes made on other panels.
If a configurable button is assigned to the channel you select, it becomes high-tally. Under auto-
matic gang mode, any buttons assigned to the channels in the gang become high-tally.
Sharing Channels
Your panel can be configured to share or not to share channels with other panels.
If your panel is not configured to share, an attempt to acquire the channel at an other panel can
preempt your use of the channel. If the other panel has a higher priority than yours has, it will
preempt you and take over the channel, and you will be notified of the fact.
Conversely, if you wish to preempt another panel, and have a higher priority than that panel,
you can preempt the other panel.
