ADVANCED OPERATIONS
3.1
GENERAL
The intercom system’s configuration computer and software are the primary tools for creating and saving inter-
com system configurations. If your keypanel is equipped with a programming keypad, you can also change set-
tings for your keypanel from the keypad, provided restrictions have not been imposed using the intercom system
configuration software. If you try to program a restricted key or function, the programming will be ignored.
Setup changes made at the keypanel are immediately uploaded to the intercom system and become part of the
intercom system configuration. These changes will be retained during loss of power, but if an additional backup
record is desired, the changes should be saved to disk using the intercom system configuration software.

KEYPAD KEY LABELING
Notes:
• The CLR key is used to cancel a program sequence. It is a good idea to start any program sequence by first
tapping this key to clear any uncompleted programming sequence.
• The white labels on some keys indicate programming sequences that start by simply tapping that key. For
example, to program a party line, you always start by tapping the white “PL” key.
• The red labels on some keys indicate programming sequences that start by tapping the FUNC key followed by a
red-labeled key. For example, to program a special list, you always start by tapping FUNC__ SLIST (tap the
FUNC key, then tap the red SLIST key).
• Keys with numbers 0-9 are used to enter panel numbers, party line numbers etc.
• The PGM key is generally pressed immediately after a programming sequence and immediately before pressing
a talk or listen key when making key assignments. This key is used to tell the keypanel that you have completed
a key sequence and now wish to assign a key.
3.3
DISPLAY REQUESTS
Display requests let you view information about the keypanel’s current configuration. You can display informa-
tion by two methods: either by entering sequences on the programming keypad, or by scrolling the names of dis-
play requests in the incoming messages window and then selecting the desired display request. The scrolling
method also gives you access to additional features that are not available with the keypad sequences. The follow-
ing paragraphs discuss these two methods.
