Control Panel
Definable Button Functions
Your panel will usually have a default channel which is the channel that is selected when the
panel powers up. Your panel might be configured so that its default channel is part of a channel
gang. If so, you panel is configured in what is called “automatic gang mode.” Whenever the
default channel is selected, all the channels in the automatic channel gang are selected
— as a
channel gang.
There are 3 button types for channels:
• ‘Channel’ selection.
• ‘No Channels’.
• ‘Gang channels’.
Channel Select
A channel is equivalent to an Imagestore 750, an MCE, or an MCPM. Press a ‘Channel Select’
button to select a channel to control.
When you press a ‘Channel Select’ button, all status and configuration data for the newly
selected channel are downloaded to the panel. (It takes about one second.)
‘Channel Select’ buttons are mutually exclusive unless gang selection is enabled.
‘Channel Select’ buttons use the following colors:
• Low-tally green. The associated channel is not selected.
• High-tally green. The associated channel is selected and communicating. The channel might
or might not be the main channel in a channel gang.
•
High-tally amber. The associated channel is selected as a follower in a channel gang and is
communicating.
• High-tally red. The associated channel is selected, but the iMC-Panel-300 cannot establish
communication with it.
A channel selection button also displays a mnemonic for the associated Imagestore 750, MCE, or
MCPM.
An Imagestore 750 can accept up to 4 concurrent connections: any combination of up to 4
control panels may acquire the same channel at the same time. If a fifth control panel attempts
to connect to an Imagestore 750 that already has four control panel connected to it, the fifth
control panel’s request for connection will be ignored.
S
Note to configurers: only one channel selection button may be assigned to a channel.
No Channels
A ‘No Channel’ button quickly disconnects the iMC-Panel-300 from all channels. (To restore
operation, select any channel.) These are the ‘No Channel’ button colors:
• Green. The iMC-Panel-300 is connected to a channel.
• Red. The iMC-Panel-300 is not connected to any channel.
S Note that a iMC-Panel-300 configuration can have only one ‘No Channel’ button.
S A “no channel” button is typically used in diagnostic situations.
