Assigning a Party Line to a Key
A party line is a group of intercom stations that can always talk and/or listen to each other. Party lines are set up
using the intercom system configuration software. Once a party line has been set up, it can be assigned to a key as
follows:
1. Tap the PL key.
2. If the party line is located in a remote intercom system, enter the intercom system number (7 in the example).
Otherwise, skip to step 3.
☞
Intercom system numbers are the numbers that appear in the “Icm” column in CStrunk
when you select “Names” or “Setup” from the Intercoms menu.)
3. Enter the party line number (4 in this example).
☞
If the party line is in a remote intercom system, you must always enter
2 digits by adding a leading zero if required. If the party line number is
for the local intercom system, you do not have to enter a leading zero.
4. Tap the PGM key.
5. Press a talk or listen key.
If a talk key is pressed, the name of the party line will appear in the alpha-numeric display
above that talk key (on keypanels so equipped).
If a listen key is pressed, the partly line name will appear briefly in the alpha-numeric display
below that key, and after a few seconds, the talk key assignment for that key will reappear.
(To check listen key assignments at any time, use the listen key display request sequence:
FUNC__DISPLAY__3.)
