GLOSSARY
BINAURAL On a dual-channel beltpack, each ear of a dual-muff headphone
receives one of two separate audio pathways. For example, Channel A transmits
to the right earphone, while Channel B transmits to the left earphone.
Alternatively, a mix of Channel A and Channel B may transmit to each earphone.
DOWNLOAD To transfer data via the VPC-1 cable, from a connected beltpack to
V-Pack.
LATCH To “lock.” Commonly used to refer to locking a talk button to “on.”
MODE A mode is a set of preselected operating choices for a beltpack. For
example, a mode can specify what type of call signal a beltpack will receive—a
steady, flashing, or dimmed light—as well as many other operating parameters.
Each beltpack’s memory holds four modes. When you receive your beltpack, four
“default” modes are preprogrammed into the beltpack’s memory. The default
mode uses the operating choices most frequently used by Clear-Com customers.
You can select new operating choices, and create new modes, with the V-Pack
software.
MONAURAL (MONOPHONIC ) On a single-channel beltpack, each ear of a
dual-muff headphone receives one audio pathway consisting of both intercom
channels combined, or the one ear of a single-muff headphone receives one audio
pathway consisting of both intercom channels combined.
On a dual-channel beltpack, each ear of a dual-muff headphone receives one
audio pathway consisting of both intercom channels combined, or the one ear of
a single-muff headphone receives one audio pathway consisting of both intercom
channels combined.
OFFLINE When a beltpack is not connected to the computer, or not able to
actively transfer data back and forth between itself and the computer, it is
“offline” from the computer. You can still program beltpack features in V-Pack
when a beltpack is offline. You must then go online to upload the features to the
beltpack.
ONLINE When a beltpack is connected to the computer with the VPC-1 cable,
and able to actively transfer data back and forth between the itself and the
computer, the beltpack is “online” to the computer.
SETUP A beltpack setup consists of four modes.
UPLOAD To transfer data via the VPC-1 cable, from V-Pack to a connected
beltpack.
VIRTUAL BELTPACK In computer technology, the term “virtual” means simulated.
A “virtual” beltpack is not an actual physical beltpack, but instead is the image of
a beltpack, with its associated controls, on a computer screen, from which you
can operate certain physical beltpack functions remotely, in real time.
