headset-microphone operation and will turn the speaker off.
Unplugging the headset will cause the panel to switch to
panel-microphone operation and will turn the speaker on.
Talk/Listen Buttons
Each talk/listen button can be programmed through the configuration
program or an appropriately configured ICS-2003E Master Intercom
Panel as a talk (red), listen (yellow), or talk with listen (red). The button
color will be dim to indicate it has a programmed label and is available
for selection. When selected it will become bright to indicate it is active.
Following are descriptions of what the panel’s other indicators mean.
Communication-Error Indicator
If the ICS-1016E/ICS-1008E should lose data communication with the
matrix frame, the talk/listen buttons will flash bright red at a slow rate.
When data communication is restored, the panel will automatically
return to normal operation.
Firmware Version Incompatibility Indicator
If the ICS-1016E/ICS-1008E should not be compatible with the Matrix
frame to which it is connected, the talk/listen buttons will flash bright
red at a rapid rate.
Monitoring/Eavesdropping Indicators
If any other panel begins monitoring a panel, a beep (the
monitoring-alert tone) will sound at the panel.
To inhibit the monitoring-alert tone, use the “Configure-Local
Preferences” menu in the configuration program.
Call-Waiting Indicator
If a panel calls another panel with a button programmed for that label,
the button will rapidly flash bright red. This flashing is a call-waiting
tally. To answer the incoming call, push the indicated talk/listen or the
“Ans Back” button. The call-waiting tally can be cleared either by
answering the call or by letting the answer-back, auto-clear time, which
is set in the configuration program, lapse.
If another panel calls a panel without a button programmed for that
label, it will be placed in the answer-back stack (see “Removing Labels
From the Answer-Back Stack” on page 1-5).
In-Use Tally Indicator
If a talk/listen button is assigned to a label and another panel is
currently using that label, the button will double-flash once per second
to indicate the label is in use. This tally must be specifically enabled
from the configuration software.
