3.7.3.4.10 External PA Setup
From the Audio Parameters Page ( Figure 3-9 ), the user can enable the output to an external public
address system as well as select the audio content.
There are four configurations for the Public Address Amplifier Audio output:
• Output Off – when selected, the external public address audio output will remain muted.
• Output RX Only – when selected, the external public address output will contain receive audio
only.
• Output RX + TX – when selected, the external public address output will contain both receive
audio and transmit audio.
• Output RX + TX (with tones) – when selected, the external public address output will contain
both receive audio and tones and transmit audio.
3.7.3.4.11 VIP Setup
From the Consolette Parameters Page ( Figure 3-8 ), there is a VIP Configuration section where the
user can configure up to 3 VIP Inputs and 3 VIP Outputs.
VIP Outputs: The function performed by each may be assigned here from the pull-down menu.
Some VIP functions are performed by the radio internal to the Consolette. When these functions are
to be used the function "Radio Function" should be selected and the VIP function should be
programmed using APX 7500 CPS.
To enable VIP actuation from one of the Consolette programmable buttons to the left of the auxiliary
display, select “Button Control” and the Button function should be programmed accordingly. (Refer to
section 3.7.3.5.6 for more information on the available Button functions.)
If the VIP is not to be used, it is recommended that it remain assigned "No Function".
VIP Inputs: The VIP inputs are currently handled by the radio internal to the Consolette. Select
“Radio Function” and the VIP function should be programmed using APX 7500 CPS.
If the VIP input is not to be used, it is recommended that it remain assigned “No Function”.
3.7.3.4.12 External Speaker Setup
From the Audio Parameters Page ( Figure 3-9 ), the external/remote speaker can be configured to
either mute when the front panel speaker is muted or not.
There are two configurations for the external/remote speaker:
• Tracks Internal Speaker – when selected, the external/remote speaker will mute/unmute when
the front panel speaker mutes/unmutes.
• Does Not Mute – when selected, the external/remote speaker will operate normally and will not
mute when the front panel speaker is muted by the user.
Also note that from the APX 7500 CPS, the external speaker can be set to have a fixed volume level
or be controlled via the volume knob on the O5 control head.
3.7.3.4.13 Transmit Priority Operation
There are several transmit inputs to the rear panel of the Consolette. From the Audio Parameters
Page (
Figure 3-9 ) using the “Rear Panel Priority” field, a higher priority can be given to one of the
inputs (Headset, Wireline, or Crosspatch/APCO). When “None” is selected, the priority remains “first
come first served.”
