4.2.4 Alternative text key
The EHX software can cofigure an alternative text key called Show Alt Text to enable text
to change between normal text and alternate text.
The Show Alt Text key can be placed anywhere on the panel. This key can be placed on
all shift pages concurrently if desired to allow easy access.
When selected it will turn red, and the panel will show the alternate text.
Alias, VSM and PM text labels will override whichever state the panel is in.
One possible use of alternate text is to set up a dual language configuration on the panel,
for example to allow panels to display Arabic by default in a particular Middle Eastern
broadcast installation. English speakers could then select the Show Alt Text key on a
panel to see the English equivalents to the Arabic labels.
Another use could be that both the role name and user name could be configured for each
panel or beltpack port. This would allow panel users to see either the name or the role
depending on the Alt Text mode selected.
4.3 Using keys to indicate status
A key can be programmed to light up in a variety of ways to indicate its status.
Note:
If you decide to use one of the following options, it must usually first be set up in ECS /
EHX, the configuration software for the Eclipse / Eclipse HX system.
4.3.1 Call waiting light (ANSWR key)
When a source calls an I-Series panel, the ANSWR key will flash bright red at the call
waiting rate (four times per second). The source will be displayed in the call waiting stack
above the ANSWR key.
Audio from the source can be heard at the I-Series panel.
Note:
If any other key on the panel is assigned to the source this key will also flash at the call
waiting rate.
