User Guide
Functioning
The new switchboard includes 4 operating modes, that determine the way it reacts to the
incoming calls from the outdoor
panels
:
•
Standard Mode:
The switchboard receives all the incoming calls made from the
panels. If they are not attended during the next 30 seconds, they will be
automatically passed through to the appropriated flat.
•
Direct Mode:
All the incoming calls made from the panels will be automatically
passed through to the flats. The switchboard will show on screen information about
the incoming call, but it won’t be able to interfere. If the SB receives a code which
is not stored in its database, it will manage it as “Call to Switchboard” (the
incoming call won’t be passed through to any flat).
•
Not Disturb:
It works the same as the Standard Mode, but if the incoming calls are
not attended during the first 30 seconds, they won’t be passed through to the flats.
•
Manager Mode:
The switchboard only receives incoming calls from other
switchboards, never from outdoor panels or flats. However it can call the flats, the
rest of the switchboards and/or execute a self-start over the outdoor panels.
This is a special mode that requires to be enabled from the configuration menu
(see chapter 4.4).
To explain the functioning of the switchboard we must differentiate 2 kinds of users. On
one side the guard porter and on the other side the installer or the owner. This one will have an
up to 9 digits password to get access to the configuration menus.

User:
The
Guard
Porter
The guard porter will be able to establish communication with the flats, the outdoor
panels and the switchboards. However, he will have a limited access to the configuration menus.
To perform all its functions, the SB includes a navigator, a special functions keypad and
a numeric keypad.
The numeric keypad is composed by the 10 decimal characters, arranged on a dial form.
It is meanly used to introduce calling codes, improving this way several tasks like calling,
searching within the directory, etc.
The navigator is a very versatile element, capable to accomplish many functions
(moving inside menus, passing through calls, carrying out requests, execute actions, etc).
It is composed by 4 direction keys (
Å
Æ
Ç
È
) and another one for confirmation (
OK
).
Functions assigned to each one of them are shown every moment at the bottom of the screen,
and they vary according to the task that it is executing in that moment (calling, conversation,
navigating through menus, etc).
Functions that are carry out by the navigator while the SB remains in Stand By state
(screen switched off or screensaver active), are shown in figure 2.
