get by with fewer trunk lines than the number of potential
users. For example, if two keypanels need to have access
to another intercom system, but only one of those keypan-
els has a critical need, you may be able to get by with one
trunk line. You can just set the trunk priorities for the two
users (as described in the following paragraphs) so that
the one with the critical need has a higher priority. Also
keep in mind that the trunking system can create a com-
munication path by "cascading" through a third intercom
system if that system has trunk lines to the other two sys-
tems. If frequent busy signals are encountered during nor-
mal use, you may have to allocate more trunk lines. A
busy signal is normally indicated by an alpha-numeric key
display that alternates between the normal key assignment
and a double asterisk indication. However, this feature
can be deactivated via DIP switch 3 on the master control-
ler cards. See Table
, page
. If the feature is deactivated,
no indication will be given that all trunk lines are busy.
There just won’t be any audio when a key is activated.
3.
Within each intercom system, run the CSedit or
ADAMedit intercom configuration software. Set all
restrictions or enables as required for each port that is
being used as a trunk line.
CSedit Users: See "Key Panel Setup: Port Infor-
mation” in Section 2 of the CSedit User Manual.
Make sure that “Port Access Restricted”, “Univ
Scroll Restricted”, and “CSedit Scroll Restricted”
are all checked for each port that will be used as a
trunking port.
ADAMedit Users: By default, ADAMedit is not
configured for trunking. To use this feature, you
must activate it in the file named adamedit.ini.
This file is located in the Windows folder and it
can be opened and edited in any ASCII text editor.
Change the line in the file that reads “ShowTrunk-
ing=N” to “ShowTrunking=Y”. Save the file and
restart ADAMedit for the change to take effect.
Once ADAMedit is restarted, click the KP button
on the toolbar. Then select the port that you want
to set as a trunking port: either enter the port
number in the "Port" box and press Enter, or select
the name of the port in the "Alpha" box. When the
keypanel setup screen for that intercom port
appears, uncheck all three of the Scroll Enable
check boxes. Then, send your changes to the
intercom system. For further assistance with key-
panel setup, click the KP button on the toolbar,
then press the F1 key on the computer keyboard
and select “Get Help on Keypanel Setup”.
4.
Also using CSedit or ADAMedit within each inter-
com system, select which intercom ports, party lines
etc. will be scrollable and assignable in other inter-
com systems.
CSedit Users: For belt packs, keypanels etc. that
are connected to individual intercom ports, this is
accomplished using the same setup screens that
you used in step 3 to restrict trunking ports. Sim-
ply remove any restrictions for any intercom port
that you want to share. To remove restrictions for
a party line, IFB etc., see "Creating a Party Line",
"Creating an IFB" etc. in Section 2 of the CSedit
User Manual.
ADAMedit Users: To make intercom ports scrol-
lable and assignable, click the KP button on the
toolbar, select an intercom port, then check the
Scroll Enable check boxes as desired. (Press the
F1 key to get further help with keypanel setup,
including additional scroll enable information.) To
make other types of destinations (party lines, IFBs
etc.) scrollable, click the appropriate button on the
ADAMedit toolbar as indicated below, then select
a specific destination and check its Scroll Enable
check boxes. For further assistance setting up any
of these destinations, press the F1 key while view-
ing the appropriate setup screen.

5.
Run the CStrunk Trunking Configuration Software,
and configure the trunking system as described in
Section 2 of the CStrunk User Manual.
6.
Within each intercom system, assign keypanel keys
as required to communicate with destinations in other
intercom systems. This is basically the same as
assigning keys in the local intercom system, except
that you will have to select an intercom system first
when making assignments.
CSedit Users: See “Keypanel Setup and Trunking
Port Allocation” in Section 2 of the CSedit User
Manual.
ADAMedit Users: Press the KP button on the tool-
bar to access keypanel setup. Then, select the
intercom port where you want to add a key assign-
ment that will comunicate with a remote intercom
system. If you use the Key Assignment Select
screen to assign keys, proceed as for normal key
assignment, except that you should select an inter-
com system before selecting a scroll list. If you
enter a key assignment alpha directly in a text box,
