COMMUNICATOR BLOCK
The telephone channels are classified by the kind of protocol they use, i.e. the voice protocol, the special digital format
developped by Tecnoalarm or one of the most common digital formats.
The telephone section of the control panel can be set so as to block the specified channels upon reception of the
blocking command (
*
on the telephone dial).
According to programming, the communicator block affects either the vocal, digital or Tecnoalarm channels or all three
and this either singularly or altogether:
z
Vocal
The communicator block affects only those channels transmitting voice messages.
• Single channel
Upon reception of the blocking command the active call is interrupted and the alarm call cycle of the active voice
channel is blocked.
• All channels
Upon reception of the blocking command the active call is interrupted and the alarm call cycles of the active voice
channel as well as all the other voice channels programmed for the event are blocked.
Warning: The voice channel can be blocked only by pressing the key * or # on the telephone dial.
Any voice command is ignored.
z
Digital
The communicator block affects only those channels using digital non-Tecnoalarm formats.
• Single channel
Upon reception of the blocking command the active call is interrupted and the alarm call cycle of the active digital
channel is blocked.
• All channels
Upon reception of the blocking command the active call is interrupted and the alarm call cycles of the active digital
channel as well as all the other digital non-Tecnoalarm channels programmed for the event are blocked.
Warning: The digital non-Tecnoalarm protocols are to devide in single type and multiple type protocols.
In any case, both if a single type protocol is programmed or not, the other events are transmitted.
No event will be lost due to the communicator block!
Single type protocols transmit one event at a time, i.e. they close down the communication once the
event has been transmitted and recall to transmit the next one. The multiple type protocols transmit the
entire queue of events before they close down the communication.
z
Tecnoalarm
The communicator block affects only those channels using the digital Tecnoalarm format.
• Single channel
Upon reception of the blocking command the active call is interrupted and the alarm call cycle of the active digital
Tecnoalarm channel is blocked.
• All channels
Upon reception of the blocking command the active call is nterrupted and the alarm call cycles of both the active
and all the other digital Tecnoalarm channels programmed for the event are blocked.
z
All
The communicator block affects all the telephone channels independently from the protocol they use.
• Single channel
Upon reception of the blocking command the active call is interrupted and the alarm call cycle of the active channel
is blocked.
• All channels
Upon reception of the blocking command the active call is interrupted and the alarm call cycles of the active and
all the other vocal and digital channels programmed for the event are blocked.
