Channel Select Menu
If your panel is configured for sharing, it is possible for you to share a channel with other panels,
unless some other channel that is not configured for sharing controls that channel.
Preemption
When your panel is not configured for sharing, if the channel (or one of the ganged channels)
you want to control is in use, you will see either a permission message or a denial of access
message:
If you see a permission message, and you wish to preempt the other panel, press ‘OK’. Otherwise
press ‘Cancel’.
If you see a denial of access message, press ‘OK’. You may not acquire the channel. You can try
again later, choose another channel, or negotiate with the other panel operator.
S
If someone preempts you, your panel will immediately appear to “go dead.” What actually
happens is the same thing that would happen if you pressed a ‘No Channel’ button. You will
have to wait for the channel to become available again or switch to another channel.
S
A panel can preempt another panel if it has been configured with a higher priority or in
some cases, with the same or higher priority.
Sharing
When your panel is configured for sharing, if the channel (or one of the ganged channels) you
want to control is in
exclusive use (at a panel that does not share), you will see a failure message:
If the sharing attempt failed, your panel will revert to its previous state, controlling the channel it
controlled prior to the sharing attempt.
