microphone’s audio (headset or panel) that is always “on” (or “hot”). Only the panel’s
microphone on/off key can override this output.
To use a logic device to shut off the audio going from the panel to the matrix:
1) Select the Mute Mic Output to Matrix option in the Eclipse Configuration System.
2) Connect a logic device (such as a foot switch, a panel-mounted switch, or the
logic output of another device) to the i-Series panel’s GPI connector.
3) Switch on the logic device to shut off the audio going from the panel to the matrix.
4) Note that the hot-microphone output has not been shut off.
Microphone Off (Momentary)
The Microphone Off function allows you to set up an external logic device, such as a
panel-mounted switch, a foot switch, or the logic output of some other device, to
momentarily shut off the panel’s microphone.
While you press and hold the switch on the remote device, the microphone is shut off, but
when you release the switch, the microphone resumes normal operation.
To use a logic device to turn the panel’s microphone off momentarily:
1) Select the Microphone Off (Momentary) option in the Eclipse Configuration
System.
2) Connect a logic device (such as a foot switch, a panel-mounted switch, or the
logic output of another device) to the I-Series panel’s GPI connector.
3) Switch on the logic device to shut the panel’s microphone off momentarily.
While you press and hold the switch on the logic device, the microphone is shut
off, but when you release the switch, the microphone resumes normal operation.
This function cannot be latched.
Answerback Talk/Clear
The “Answerback Talk/Clear” function allows you to set up an external logic device, such
as a panel-mounted switch, a foot switch, or the logic output of some other device, to
function as the panel’s answer-back key.
To use a logic device to activate the panel’s answerback key:
1) Select the “Answerback Talk/Clear option in the Eclipse Configuration System.
2) Connect a logic device (such as a foot switch, a panel-mounted switch, or the
logic output of another device) to the i-Series panel’s GPI connector.
3) Switch on the logic device to activate the panel’s answer-back key. Holding down
the switch activates a talk path to the current destination in the answer-back
stack.
4) Note that the logic switch, like the answer back key itself, cannot be latched. It
functions momentarily only.
