Clear-Com Tempest900 - Manual (Page 39)

33 Tempest®900 2-Channel Wireless Intercom System
Set Display Mode to Static or Dynamic
The Static or Dynamic selection only affects the order that the BaseStation LCD Operational screen displays BeltStation
information. “Static” will be the preferred choice for users who want to ensure that a BeltStation that is logged in will
always appear in the same location (slot) on the BaseStation display and are using only one BaseStation.
Dynamic is the default setting. Dynamic display mode always displays BeltStations in alpha-numeric order by name, so “Dir”
appears before “LitMgr,” which appears before “StgMgr,”. BeltStations can change slots depending on which BeltStations
are logged in at any given moment. Empty slots are always on the right of the Operation screen. Dynamic is the preferred
choice for users utilizing iSelect roaming between multiple BaseStations.
On the BaseStation, under “Tech Menu,” in the “Display Slot Assignments” menu, choose Static or Dynamic .
When selecting Static slot assignments, you must also enter the “Base Slot” section of the “Tech Menu” on each BeltStation
and assign each BeltStation a different slot (1 – 5). If you have a BeltStation that displays the message “Slot Occupied,” it
means two or more BeltStations are assigned to the same slot number.
Name Each Station
Name the BaseStation with a descriptive name. This is especially helpful when iSelect Roaming will be used to roam
between BaseStation coverage areas. It is also helpful when the BaseStation or T-Desk is used to monitor and manage the
BeltStations. The BaseStation name can include up to 14 characters. Prior to a name being assigned, a hexadecimal serial
number is displayed as a default.
The BaseStation name will appear on the banner (top line of the BaseStation display, with white-on-black lettering), on the
BeltStation display, and in the BeltStation’s menu under “Select Base.”
The BeltStation will accept 14 characters in the name, but only the first six characters of the BeltStation name can be
displayed on the BaseStation Operation screen. If the BeltStation is named “Camera 1,” then “Camera” will be displayed on
the BaseStation slot for that BeltStation because of the six character limit. If the BaseStation will be used to monitor and
manage the BeltStations, the BeltStation name should be limited to six characters. To name each BaseStation:
1. On the BaseStation press MENU and select “BaseStation Settings,” then “Name BaseStation.”
2. Rotate the Volume control to move the underscore “_” to select the character to be changed.
3. Press ENT and notice the underscore changes to a pointer “Λ” under the selected character.
4. Rotate the Volume control to scroll through the character list. Press ENT to select the new character. Characters always
replace and never insert. Repeat as needed.
5. Press ENT to save the new name after all characters are complete. Failure to press ENT to save will clear all changes.
6. Press MENU to escape to the Operation Mode screen.
Naming the BeltStation works the same as naming the BaseStation. On the BeltStation, press MENU and select “Belt
Settings,” then “Name BeltStation.” Use the Volume control and the ENT button to select and change characters. Press ENT
to save the changes.
BeltStation names can be changed wirelessly from the BaseStation’s menu or from T-Desk when the system is on a local
area network.
When operating in Shared Mode, the Tempest BaseStation must be in Dynamic slot
assignment.
