Party Line (PL)
A party line (also called a conference line) is a group of intercom ports which can always talk and/or listen to each other. Party
lines have default names PL01, PL02 etc. These names can be changed to more meaningful names using Other Alpha setup in
AZedit. Members are assigned to a party line using Party Line setup in AZedit. Once a party line has been set up, it can also be
assigned to a keypanel key either from the configuration software or at a programmable keypanel. This allows the keypanel
operator to talk and/or listen to the party line without being a member.IMPORTANT: Do not confuse special lists and party
lines. A special list is used when a keypanel operator needs to occasionally talk or listen to a group of intercom ports that are
otherwise unrelated. A party line is typically used when several users of non-keypanel devices (such as belt packs or camera
intercoms) are engaged in a specific common activity and they need to talk and/or listen to each other all the time. Keypanels
are almost never members of party lines (although they can be). However, a keypanel key can be assigned to occasionally talk
or listen to a party line if desired. Just remember: party lines are primarily set up for party line members, with occasional
access by keypanel operators, while special lists are set up exclusively for keypanel operators to talk or listen to several
unrelated intercom ports.For specific information about party line setup, search for PL or party line in AZedit help.
Port
The ports are the individual channels that devices are connected to. Devices include:
2-way communication devices, such as keypanels, belt packs etc.
Audio sources, such as broadcast feeds or background music
Miscellaneous audio output devices, such as powered loudspeakers, PA systems etc.
Communication between Ports (Point-to-Point, or P-P). The audio signal from any input port can be routed to any output port.
For example, during keypanel setup, you assign keypanel keys so that keypanel operators can talk and listen to other intercom
ports. Communication of this type is called point-to-point communication. You can also route signals between intercom ports
without keypanels. One way to do this is to force crosspoints in the Crosspoint Status screen of AZedit. Another way to do it is
with a GPI input. Port ID Numbers and Alphas Intercom ports have identification numbers 001, 002 etc. These numbers
cannot be changed, but may not be commonly known to intercom system users. Each intercom port also has a default name,
called an alpha, because this name appears in the alphanumeric displays on keypanels when you assign the ports to keys for
talking and listening. The default alpha names are N001, N002 etc. These default alpha names can be changed to ones that are
meaningful to keypanel operators using Port Alpha setup In AZedit. (Click the
Port Alpha
button in AZedit, then press F1 on
the computer keyboard if you need help.)Intercom Data Groups and Port Number Calculation. For data routing purposes, port
numbers are arranged in groups of 8 sequential intercom ports. In an ADAM or ADAM CS Intercom System, each Audio I/O
card comprises one data group. In a Zeus Intercom System, each group of 8 port connectors comprises a data group. Within
each data group, each keypanel is uniquely identified by its address setting. Whenever you display the Panel ID, the intercom
system determines which data group the keypanel is connected to, and also the address setting. It then reports the calculated
address. For example, suppose a keypanel is connected to data group 3 and the keypanel address is set to 5. Since each data
group consists of 8 sequential intercom ports, the calculated port number for this keypanel is (2*8) + 5, or 21. This is the total
of all intercom port numbers on the first 2 data groups, plus the offset of 5 ports into the third data group. Port Gains are
calibrated to send and receive audio at the standard operating levels of the intercom system. No audio gain adjustment is
normally required when connecting these. However, many other types of devices may not operate at the standard intercom
system levels. To assure signal level compatibility between the various types of audio devices connected to the intercom
system, there are separate analog input and output gain adjustments for each intercom port. It is also possible to adjust the
listen gain for any specific intercom port when listening to any other specific intercom port. This is called the point-to-point
listen gain, or crosspoint gain. For example, a keypanel operator might want to monitor a music source connected at some
intercom port, but at a reduced audio level so that it does not interfere with normal intercom communications. The crosspoint
gain can be reduced for the keypanel port listening to the port where the music source is connected.Analog gain adjustment is
only available using AZedit. Crosspoint gains can be adjusted either within AZedit or from a programmable keypanel. For
further information on any gain adjustment in AZedit, search for keyword gain in AZedit help. For procedures to adjust gain
from a programmable keypanel, look for gain in the manual index.
