6. Intercom Calls
Each channel button on the front panel can be assigned to a remote intercom
unit in order to make and receive voice calls. See the Channels - Advanced
Settings web page on page 30 for full details of the available options.
Making a Call
To make a call request, press the channel button assigned to the required
remote unit. If the called unit has the auto answer option enabled, the
call will be connected immediately. The button status for an active call is
described later in this section. If the called unit’s auto answer option is
disabled, the selected channel button will slowly flash using the colour
assigned to the default function for that channel. For example, if the default
function is talk and listen, and the colour assigned to the talk and listen
buttons is amber, the button will flash amber. If a call request is made to an
intercom that doesn’t have a valid channel assignment for the calling unit,
the call will be cancelled. To correct this error, assign the intercom name from
the unit attempting to make the call to a channel on the target unit.
Receiving a Call
When an intercom call request is received from a remote unit, the call will
be handled by the local channel assigned to the calling intercom unit. The
way the call is handled is dependent on the auto answer option setting for
the local channel. If the auto answer option is enabled, the call is connected
immediately. If the auto answer option is disabled, the channel button that
is assigned to the caller will rapidly flash using the colour assigned to the
requested call type. For example, if the calling unit has requested a talk only
call, the call will be treated locally as listen only. If the local colour assignment
for listen buttons is green, the channel button will flash green. If the call
signal is enabled, a repeated audible signal will be heard in the headphones
or speaker. The call is answered by pressing the flashing channel button and
the audio from each unit will be routed depending on the callers selected call
type.
During a Call
When an intercom call is connected, the channel button is illuminated using
the colour assigned to the call type. The intercom unit that initiates the
call always dictates the call type. If the monitor channel is active when an
intercom call is connected, the audio routed to the headphones or speaker
from the monitor source is automatically muted or dimmed according to
the monitor settings.
Ending a Call
An active call can be terminated by either party. To end a call, press the
illuminated channel button. The call is ended immediately and the button
illumination is turned off. If the monitor channel is active, it will return to
the normal state when all calls have ended.
Group Calls
Intercom calls can be made simultaneously to multiple remote units using
the group talk function. The group talk set can include any combination
of channels, see the Group Talk web page on page 31 for details. Group
calls are selected by assigning the group talk function to the user button,
see the Front Panel - User Button web page on page 32 for details. The
user button, linked to the group talk set, can then be used to make or end
a group call.
Call Signal
The call signal provides an audible indication that an incoming call is
waiting to be answered. It can be heard in the headphones and through
the speaker. If the call signal is not required, it can be turned off. See the
Channels - Advanced Settings web page on page 30 for details.
