Notes

• If a key will not accept an assignment, the party line that you are trying to assign may have been restricted (not

enabled) by the intercom system configuration software. The intercom system configuration software can also
be used to restrict individual keypanel keys to prevent key assignments.

• If desired, you can program the listen key with the auto-listen special function so that it is automatically

activated when the talk key is pressed. See “Assigning a Special Function to a Key,” below, for further
information.

3.5.2.3

Assigning a Special Function to a Key

Special Functions are additional key assignments that can simplify communications. There are five special func-
tions available. Each special function has a default two-character name for display purposes:

Name

Description

AF

Auto Follow (for listen keys only): Auto follow causes a listen key’s assignment to always be the same
as the talk key directly below it. Thus, if you reassign the talk key, you do not also have to reassign
the listen key. You can manually activate an auto-follow listen key independently of the talk key. If you
want auto-activation (or deactivation) use one of the other key assignments, below.

AL

Auto Listen (for listen keys only): This assignment works like auto follow, except that listen is auto-
matically activated when the talk key is pressed. It is sometimes a good assignment for use with party
lines or other non-keypanel devices that do not have talk-back control of matrix crosspoints.

AM

Auto Mute (for listen keys only): This assignment works like auto follow, except that listen is automati-
cally muted when the talk key is pressed. Auto mute is useful for talking to devices which echo your
voice back to you, as it prevents feedback.

AR

Auto Reciprocal (for listen keys only): This assignment forces you to continuously listen to whatever is
assigned to the talk key. It is used commonly on keypanels which are not equipped with listen keys to
allow listening to party lines. It is also useful to force listening when it is desirable to have an operator
continuously hear a party line or other source.

AC

All Call (for talk keys only): When a talk key is programmed for All Call, pressing the key will also acti-
vate all talk keys to the left of the All Call key (up to, but not including another All Call key).

To assign a special function to a key:

1. Tap the AUTO key.

2. Select a special function:
