Mercury Quick Start Guide 

Hints and Tips 

 

Take small steps. Just make one or two changes to the 

configuration, then test. If it doesn’t work out as you 

hoped, it’s easy to backtrack. 

 

Take frequent backups. Establish a file naming plan and 

stick to it. For example, use the date format 

yyyymmdd

 

with a letter suffix – 20191225a. 

 

On Trilogy panels, red is for speaking, yellow for listening. 

Remember that panels interact by speaking. Operator 

speaks

 to Manager – Manager replies to Operator by 

speaking

. Listening happens automatically. 

 

Third party equipment such as radios don’t have 

intercom keys and must be programmed differently. So 

Manager still 

speaks

 to Radio 1 but for the reply, 

Manager must 

listen

 to the radio. This means that for 

radios and similar equipment, a different key type - 

Speak/Listen - must be used on the Manager’s panel. 

 

With many variables, troubleshooting third-party links 

can appear difficult. First, make sure your panel has the 

correct key type as explained above. Now completely 

disconnect the other device from the port on the rear of 

the MIU. In its place, temporarily connect a spare Trilogy 

panel, on a short 1:1 Ethernet cable. The displays on the 

spare panel will say “Not yet in service”, but ignore that 

because the panel audio will be active. Now try speaking, 

in both directions. This should help you to narrow down 

the location of any problem.
