Button Operation
Push to talk operation
Press a Push to Talk button to call the help desk or another console. That enables
the microphone, causes the Mic On LED to light, and enables communication to the
location associated with that button. When pressed, the button lights bright amber.
• If the console PC being called is busy, the IPI plays a .wav file to tell the caller
that the line is busy. A “call received” message appears at the help desk
console PC to indicate that the intercom is calling. For informaton about .wav
files, see page 5‑12 for information about using .wav files.
• If the console PC being called is not connected to the network, the IPI plays a
.wav file stored on its local MLC to notify the intercom user that the connection
is not available. Also, the button lights red instead of amber.
• Once a call is successfully connected, press and hold the button when you
speak, and release it to allow the other party to speak.
N You must press and hold an IPI’s button to speak and to call the help desk or
another intercom. When you release the button, the intercom’s microphone
turns off unless the help desk is listening (
see page 510 ).
