Auto Signal
This function enables a panel or interface port for automatic call
signalling. If a talk path is activated to a destination that has been
configured for auto-call signalling, the call signal will be sent to the
destination for the duration of the talk. Auto-call signals are most
commonly used with external devices that require a control signal to
activate them.
If a port set for auto-call signalling joins a party line, or is preset to a
party line, an auto call will not be sent to the port if the talk is to the
party line. The default setting is disabled.
Note: Not available for PD4212E, PD4222E, PD4224E, PD4294E
and PD4226E panels.
For panels which support Auto Signal - Call Signal must be enabled.
Eavesdropping (Privacy)
This box is unchecked by default so other panels cannot eavesdrop on
a panel’s microphone input, unless that panel has an active talk key
pressed to another port in the Eclipse System. If this box is checked,
other panels can monitor a panel’s microphone input, even without any
activated talk keys. By default a panel’s microphone output is off until
a talk key is pressed. The panel’s Mic ON/OFF control will always take
priority over eavesdropping. The default setting is disabled.
Note: Eavesdropping must be enabled (checked) for a panel to
act as an ISO destination is set so that the panel
microphone can be remotely enabled by the ISO if it is not
enabled at the destination.
Global IFB
This function enables configuring a panel or interface as a global IFB
destination. Any panel activating a talk to a global IFB destination
creates a one-way talk path to that panel or interface. If more than
one panel at a time activates a talk to the global IFB destination, both
sources can be heard by the destination. When all IFB talks to the
destination are deactivated, the destinations’ audio paths return to
their previous states. For IFB talks to also interrupt talks at the source,
select the ‘IFB Interrupts All Other Talks From Source panel’ button in
‘Matrix Frame Preferences’. The default setting is disabled.
When Global IFB is enabled the Attenuation field is also enabled
allowing the amount of attenuation or ‘Cutting’ for each label’s IFB
level. The adjustment range is from Full Cut to No Cut in 3db steps.
The default setting is No Cut.
If an interface has Global IFB set and a destination position is talking to
this interface then an incoming call from a local ISO source WILL NOT
