GLOSSARY
Channel: A two-way talk path.
Destination: An intercom station, beltpack, or interface (or group of such
devices connected together) which is assigned to a source channel of a central
intercom station. Destination stations do not have their own power supply, and
are typically powered by the central intercom station.
Download: In traditional computer terminology, to download data means to
transfer data from a large computer’s memory to the memory of another device,
usually a smaller computer. In this manual, to download data specifically means
to transfer data from the RCS-2700 unit’s memory to RCS-WIN where it will
display on the computer screen.
ISO: The ISO function allows a member on a party line to speak privately to
another member on the party line.
Main Station: A multi-channel intercom station with an internal power supply
which can provide power both to itself and to all of the remote stations
connected to it.
Master Station: A multi-channel intercom station with an internal power supply
which can provide power to itself but not to any of the remote stations connected
to it.
Null: (noun) 1. Adjustment that controls the amount of sidetone heard by the
user. 2. The degree of sidetone adjustment. (verb) To adjust the amount of
sidetone heard by the user.
Online: In general computer terminology online means connected to a
computer or telecommunications system. Specifically in this manual it means
that RCS-WIN is connected to the RCS-2700 unit so that data can be
transferred between them.
Offline: In general computer terminology offline means not connected to a
computer or telecommunications system or operating independently of such a
system. Specifically in this manual, offline means that RCS-WIN is not actively
connected to the RCS-2700 and therefore cannot send data to and from the
RCS-2700 unit. Even though RCS-WIN is offline to the RCS-2700 unit, it can
still be programmed with source/destination assignments that can be applied
when it goes online to the RCS-2700 unit.
Party Line: Intercom channel on which each member can both listen and speak
to every other member on the channel. Analogous to a telephone conference call
with its two-way, full duplex communication.
Preset: A preset is a group of source/destination assignments that you create for
current or future use. The RCS-2700 Source Assignment Panel can store up to
14 presets. All source/destination assignments are made within a preset.
