Answering a Call with the Answer-Back Key
When a source that is not assigned to a key on your panel calls you:
• The calling source’s label appears in the display above the
ANSWR key.
• The ANSWR key flashes bright red to indicate a waiting call.
These conditions will continue until you press the ANSWR key to talk
or until the answer-back time-out period lapses and the call is
automatically removed from the answer-back stack.
Note: The answer-back time-out period is set in the Eclipse
Configuration System. It can be set to Off or between 10 and
60 seconds. After the time-out period has elapsed, the call
will be removed and will no longer be available to answer.
To answer a call from an unassigned source at the answer-back
key:
1. Press and hold the ANSWR key to talk to the caller.
When you press the ANSWR key, it becomes solid red to indicate
that it is active. Note that the ANSWR key cannot be latched; it is a
momentary function.
2. When you complete the call, release the ANSWR key.
When you release the key, it becomes dim red to indicate that it is
inactive.
3. Press the CLEAR key to remove the caller’s label from the display.
Note: The display clears automatically when the answer-back
time-out period elapses after you release the ANSWR key.
Figure 1-10 illustrates the steps for answering a call from an
unassigned source at the answer-back key.
