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 momen-
tarily:
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.
Note that the logic switch, like the answer back key itself, cannot be
latched. It functions momentarily only.
4. To clear the current call, and go to the next call in the answer-back
stack, quickly press and release the switch.
Studio Announce
The “Studio Announce” function momentarily turns off all “talk” paths
leaving the panel and sends the panel’s microphone audio out through
the Studio Announce output. This function overrides external IFB and
ISO, interrupting matrix communications to these external systems.
To use a logic device to activate studio announce:
You can activate all latched
keys at a panel with an
external logic device, such as
a headset with a push-to-talk
switch.
