Telephone Off-Hook Tally Indicator
When a telephone interface is assigned to a talk/listen button, the
button will flash once per second if that telephone is off the hook. This
tally must be enabled from the configuration program.
Radio Receiver Active Tally Indicator
When a two-way radio interface port is assigned to a talk/listen button,
the button will flash once per second when that radio’s receiver is
active. This tally must be enabled from the configuration program.
Panel Connected Tally Indicator
This tally is used when a panel is connected to the frame by a
high-speed data line (such as an ISDN or T1 line) that might be
inactive periodically. The talk/listen button for any such panel will flash
once per second when any such panel is on-line. This tally must be
enabled from the configuration program.
Answer-Back Facility
The “Ans Back” button is used to answer calls to a panel from other
panels or interfaces not assigned to a that panel’s talk/listen buttons.
When these calls arrive:
• The “Ans Back” button will flash bright red.
• The calling panel’s label will be temporarily assigned to the panel’s
“Ans Back” button.
These two conditions will continue until the call is answered, or until
the answer-back, time-out period lapses and the caller’s label is
automatically removed. To answer the call, push the “Ans Back”
button. The button will turn bright red, indicating an active talk path to
the caller. The talk path is active for as long as the button is held down.
Note: The “Ans Back” button cannot be latched; it is a
momentary-only function.
To manually remove the caller’s label from the “Ans Back” button, push
the “Clear” button. The label assignment will be removed automatically
after the answer-back, time-out period lapses. If another call (or calls)
comes in while answering a call using the “Ans Back” button:
• The user will hear the caller’s voice.
• The calling panel’s label will be placed in the panel’s answer-back
stack.
To answer the next caller:
1. Release the “Ans Back” button.
2. Push the “Clear” button to remove the current caller’s label.
3. Push the “Ans Back” button to talk to the next caller.
