that are currently off. Only those items that have
change flags set would be sent to the intercom system dur-
ing a download, resulting in only a partial modification of
the current intercom system configuration.
Selecting “Clear All Chg Flags will turn off all change
flags in the file that you are currently editing. If you then
tried to send the file to the intercom system, it would have
no effect.
Uses of the Change Flags
Change flags can be used in three ways to create various
configuration changes:
1. If you are on-line with the intercom system and editing
the on-line configuration, change flags will automat-
ically be set for any items that you change. Selecting
“Activate Chgs” from the Intercom menu will down-
load all items with change flags set.
2. If you want to completely over-write the current inter-
com system configuration with a new configuration,
open the new configuration file, then select “Set All
Chg Flags”. This will assure that all items in the file
are sent. Now send the file using the “Send File”
command on the Intercom menu.
3. The “Send File” command on the Intercom menu can
also be used to make periodic updates to the intercom
system using files that you prepared previously. Only
the items that you wish to change will be sent, which
means that updating can proceed much more quickly
than if you send an entire configuration file. Here is
how periodic updating works:
a) Set up a basic, or starting, intercom system configu-
ration. You can base this file on a previously ex-
isting configuration file by selecting “Open
Existing File” from the File menu. Or, you can
make a completely new file by selecting “Create
New File” from the File menu. Whichever
method you use, just make sure that you select
“Set All Chg Flags” when prompted.
b) Go ahead and configure the intercom system as
you want it to operate at the start. When your
starting configuration is completed, save it to
file. Again, select “Set All Chg Flags” when
prompted (in case you inadvertently turned off
any change flags while editing).
c) Send your configuration to the intercom system us-
ing the “Send File” command in the Intercom
menu. Since all the change flags are set, the en-
tire configuration file will be sent, and the cur-
rent intercom system configuration will be
entirely overwritten. Your basic configuration is
now in place.
d) Prepare your first update file: Using the “Save to
File” command on the File menu, save your ba-
sic configuration to a new file with a new name.
Select “Clear All Chg Flags” when prompted.
e) Go ahead and make any changes that you want to
put into effect during updating. As you make
your changes, the change flags for those items
will automatically be set.
f) Again, save your update file to disk, but select
“Leave Chg Flags” when prompted.
g) Prepare any additional update files that you need
by saving the PREVIOUS UPDATE FILE with
a new name. As before, select “Clear All Chg
Flags” before you start editing the new file, and
select “Leave All Chg Flags” when you save or
re-open the file.
h) To send your first update, open the desired update
file. Always select “Leave Chg Flags” when
opening your update files. Then select “Send
File” from the Intercom menu. Only those items
that have change flags set will be sent.
i) Continue to make periodic updates as needed by
sending new update files. To return to your basic
configuration at any time, simply send your ba-
sic configuration file to the intercom system.
Just remember when opening your basic configu-
ration or any update files, always select “Leave
Chg Flags”.
