button in ADAMedit, then press F1 on the computer keyboard if you need help.)Intercom Data
Groups and Port Number CalculationFor 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 will be (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 GainsRTS
Keypanels 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 ADAMedit.
Crosspoint gains can be adjusted either within ADAMedit or from a programmable keypanel. For
further information on any gain adjustment in ADAMedit, search for keyword "gain" in
ADAMedit help. For procedures to adjust gain from a programmable keypanel, look for "gain" in
the manual index.
Relay
Relay is used interchangeable with GPI output. The relay feature works with the 16 GPI outputs
of an optional UIO-256 Universal Input / Output Frame, and with the relay outputs of an FR9528
Relay Frame. The relay feature also works with the 8 GPI outputs of an ADAM, ADAM CS, or
Zeus intercom system (J27 on a Zeus Frame, J903 on an ADAM CS Frame, and J11 on the XCP-
ADAM-MC Master Controller Breakout Panel in an ADAM Intercom System). You can assign a
keypanel key to control a GPI output from any of these devices, and then use that key and output
to control an external device. For example, you could use a keypanel key to control lighting. Or,
you could assign a relay as a level 2 talk key assignment in a stacked talk key arrangement to both
send audio and key a device, such as a paging amplifier or a 2-way radio.
Special List
A special list is a means for a keypanel operator to talk and/or listen to several unrelated
destinations using a single key. Special lists are useful for group call or zone paging. Special list
members are defined in the intercom configuration software. Once a special list has been
configured, it can be assigned to a keypanel key.A special list is a group of intercom ports that a
keypanel operator can talk or listen to by activating a single key. Special lists are typically used
for paging, all call, group call etc. Special lists have default names SL01, SL02 etc. These names
can be changed using Other Alpha setup. You define the members of the special list using Special
List setup. Once a special list has been set up, you typically assign it to a keypanel key using
Keypanel setup. The keypanel operator can then activate the special list key to talk or listen to all
members of the special list.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 special list setup, search for "special list" in ADAMedit help.
