D7 RING COMMUNICATIONS INC.
OPERATIONAL FUNCTIONS
IDLE -
When there are no events to display, the Q UEUE will display 00. The T IME will always be visible and
the display lines will be off. In I DLE mode the Intercom master station assigned to the DAD104 will
also be idle and may be used in normal intercom mode. See TRIDEX operation information supplied
with central exchange.
INCOMING EVENT - The DISPLAY lines
When the DAD104 receives a event, a display line will flash and an audible tone will be heard. The
first event will be displayed on the top line, additional events of equal or lower priority will be inserted
into the queue in the order they were received. Events with higher priority will be sorted into the
queue according to their P
RIORITY level (1-9). Priority level 1 is the highest and 9 is the lowest.
The audible tone will indicate the priority of the highest priority level in queue. A priority 9 will have
the most delay between tones and a priority 1 will have the least. The
D ISPLAY L INE with the highest
P RIORITY will control the audible tone speed.
During an incoming signal the display will alternately flash the S TATUS with the location D ESCRIPTION
of the calling station. The queue counter will show the number of display lines in use. The user
should always note the status of the event signal (A
L ARM , C ALL , F AULT , P ARK ) before responding
since the incoming status of the event will not be apparent when answered.
HANDLING AN EVENT - The DISPLAY line ANSWER keys
Once the status has been observed, an active display line can be answered by pressing the
A
NSWER key to the left of the active D ISPLAY L INE . When the A NSWER key is pressed the display will
stop flashing, the audible tone will stop, and the controller will connect the intercom master station
at the DAD104 with the substation that is annunciated. A warning tone will sound at both stations,
and you may begin speaking after the tone. The intercom will normally switch your voice hands free,
although it may be necessary or desirable to use the 'T' button on the intercom station for simplex
operation (push to talk) to overcome background noise at either location. The 'T' may also be used
whenever you want to continue monitoring a station for information or security reasons.
