Basic Text Editing
This page describes the method for Entering Text, such as people's names, into the
units database for Directory, Visitor Greeting or Custom Prompts.
Note: For those that have programmed previous Trigon Products, this new method replaces
the old method of entering text information!
The "*" key moves the cursor up one line.
The "#" key moves the cursor down one line.
The "0" key moves the cursor right one position.
To obtain a letter, just tap the key with the letter desired. The first letter on the
key is the first letter displayed. Tap the same key again for the next letter and again
for the 3rd letter. A 4th tap will produce the numerical value of the key.
Note: The "1" key has a few extra taps enabled. These are for letters not found on a
standard keypad and some punctuation that may prove useful.
The "1" key:
1st push produces Blank Space.
2nd tap produces letter "Q"
3rd tap produces letter "Z"
4th tap produces number "1"
5th tap produces period character "."
6th tap produces minus character "-"
7th tap produces slash character "/"
8th tap produces colon character ":"
Then this pattern sequence repeats.
Note: You cannot remotely edit text via touch tones. Allowing this has resulted in too
many errors in past products because the person programming is basically working blind.
To move the cursor left, you must use the "0" key and move the cursor right until it
wraps back to the the start of the line. In most cases, it may be faster to jump up or
down one line then return to the desired line. Generally, when you progress to another
line, the cursor is homed on the left side of the next line. So the sequence: "*#" or
"#*" is the 2 key stroke equal of a cursor home to left command.
Note: When entering names in the directory, do not include a string of periods to con-
nect the name with the code as this is now done automatically by the unit during direc-
tory browsing by a visitor.
Note: You do not need to place the Resident Name in any alphabetical order as this is
done automatically for you, after you exit the programming mode.
To EXIT the text editor: Hold down the "*" key for several seconds until the ack-tones
are heard. This method always saves your current editing efforts.
You may also hang up via handset or by pushing the call button. However this method
doesn't promise to retain changes made on the current line or the whole screen.
Alternative programming via Modem, Lan or direct PC connection allows the full font and
all punctuation characters to be accessed in a much more comfortable manner. And the
support software is free from Trigon. It's called TriCom Professional Revision 4.0.
