Communication-Error Indicator
If the panel should lose data communication with the matrix frame:
• It will display the message “WAITING FOR ECLIPSE
CONNECTION.”
• All of the red LEDs will flash slowly.
When data communication is restored, the panel will automatically
return to normal operation.
Speaker/Headset Level Controls
To adjust the speaker or headset volume, use the “Intercom” and
“Program” volume controls. The speaker volume can also be affected
by three software-controlled functions: Page Override, Mute Level, and
Listen Level Adjustment.
Intercom Volume
The “Intercom” volume control sets the overall level of all signals
coming from the matrix frame.
Program Volume
The “Program” volume control adjusts the volume of the signal coming
into the panel through the auxiliary input of the “Miscellaneous”
rear-panel connector.
Page Override
Page override is a special function in the panel in which the intercom
volume defaults to a preset to a value when commanded to by the
central matrix. Any fixed group can be assigned the page-override
function through the configuration program.
The configuration program determines preset value for each panel. If
the preset value is lower than the setting of the front-panel volume
control, the volume will be controlled by the front-panel control.
Mute Level
This turns down the speaker level when any talk is active at the panel.
The amount of muting (measured in dB) is set by the configuration
program for each panel. This function helps prevent possible feedback.
The maximum amount of muting is 15 dB below full volume. If the front
panel control is set below that level, then muting will have no effect.
Listen Level Adjustment
The level of any active listen path can be adjusted individually. Refer to
“Listen-Level Mode” on page 8.
Headset Connector
The headset connector provides a front-panel connection for a
headset. Plugging in a headset will initially cause the panel to switch to
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.
