Terms and Definitions
ADDRESS
The address identifies an Amtel unit. Each Amtel unit must be
assigned a unique 2 character, alphanumeric address to
communicate with other units. Addresses are normally assigned
and maintained by the System Administrator.
ALERT
An alert is a short bit of information that is sent when you want
an immediate response. An alert is limited to one screen (29
spaces) of text. When an alert is received, the unit will emit a
single beep and display the alert text. You can send an alert to
announce a phone call or visitor, or to converse with another unit
— think of it as Amtel’s “chat” feature.
CDD
An optional device that will flash an external device (such as a
lamp) when an alert or message is received. It is used as a visual
signal in addition to an audible beep.
CENTRAL
TIMEKEEPER
The designated keyboard unit that maintains time and allows the
user to modify the date and time for the entire network by
sending electronic time updates to all other units set to “auto.”
There must be only one central timekeeper per network or zone.
CHOICE
BUTTONS
The buttons on a panel unit or wallmount unit used to modify the
text fragments of a phrase before sending a response, or
initiating an alert or message.
COMMAND
CODE
A two or four digit number used to activate some programming
steps by the System Administrator.
DISTRIBUTION
LIST (GROUP
ADDRESS)
A list containing two to twenty addresses of other units on the
same network. It is used to define a specific group and assigned
a unique group address.
ELAPSED TIMER
The elapsed timer counts up like a “stopwatch.”
ELECTRONIC
STORAGE BIN
The memory of the unit that stores alerts, messages and
reminders.
EMERGENCY
ALERT
A communication sent globally alerting all units of an
emergency.
EVENT TIMER
The event timer counts down to Ø.
FASTWIRE
A mode of communication that provides instantaneous alert and
message delivery. Fastwire is the recommended setting for
Amtel units in the 600 and 700 series.
