Programmable Buttons
The L3149B Desk Set has four programmable buttons. Each may be assigned up to two functions - one
with the button alone and one when pressed with the
LOCK
button. Since there is only one LED per
button, the LED only reflects the status of the normal function (programmable button pressed without
LOCK
). Therefore, certain functions that require the LED cannot be selected under the Programmable
Button with
LOCK
fields.
Programmable Button Types: Disabled
This renders the button disabled. It generates a ‘bad’ beep when pressed.
Alert Tone
Alert tones are used to gain attention for important transmissions. The L3149B (C200) Advanced Desk
Set allows alert tones to be assigned to the programmable buttons. Pressing the button causes the
generation of the programmed alert-tone type, continuous, warble, or pulsed, while the button is pressed.
Upon releasing the button, the alert tone ceases and the unit remains transmitting for two seconds
allowing the operator to press the transmit button for voice.
Upon the release of the
TRANSMIT
button, the transmission is ceased. The transmission time at the end
of the alert tone may be canceled by pressing the programmable button a second time.
Button Remap
This allows many of the front panel buttons, including
LOCK
combinations to be remapped to a single
button press. When a key sequence is remapped to a programmable button, the programmable button
emulates the programmed key sequence press. When the input is asserted, the programmed key sequence
is pressed. When the input is disasserted, the programmed key sequence is released.
Frequency Change
To allow the quick selection of common transmit frequencies, a button can be programmed for frequency
select. Pressing this button allows the selection of the programmed frequency, F1, F2, F3, etc., with a
single button press.
Mute
A mute button may be programmed to allow the handset and internal speaker to be muted for a
programmed amount of time or infinitely. When a duration other than infinite is programmed, the mute
is only active for that amount of time and the LED associated with the button is lit. The operator may
cancel the mute during the mute time by pressing the button again.
If infinite is programmed for the duration, the mute remains active indefinitely until the operator presses
the button a second time. While muted, the LED associated with the button flashes. The duration may
be set to Infinite or from 1 to 255 seconds.
PL
PL or Private Line allows the desk set to place appropriately equipped stations into different modes. All
PL buttons programmed are interlocked automatically by the desk set. That is, when a PL button is
pressed, its LED is lit; all other PL-button LEDs are extinguished.
N
OTE
: PL cannot be assigned to the
LOCK
function of a programmable button since an LED is required.
