Programming Key Assignments Using Alpha Scrolling

Alpha scrolling lets you scroll through a list of names of ports, party lines etc. in the Call waiting
window. Once the desired name is displayed in the window, you can copy it to a key. There are
four scrolling modes: intercom, type, prefix and single-step. The following example demonstrates
their use.
Example: Assign a port to a key using the various scrolling modes.
If the port is located in a remote intercom system, tap FUNC −− or FUNC ↓↓ to enter
1
intercom scroll mode and scroll up or down the list of intercoms in the Call waiting window.
Otherwise, skip to step 2.
When the desired intercom system name is displayed, or when making an assignment in the
2
local intercom system, tap FUNC TYPE to activate type scroll mode.
Use the −− or ↓↓ keys to locate the desired type of communication. In this example, you

would scroll to "P-P".
Abbreviations for types of communication:
• P-P: Point-to-Point
• PL: Party Line
• IFB: IFB
• SPCL: Special List
• RLY: Relay or GPI output.
• ISO: ISO
4 When the desired type of communication is displayed, press PGM to retrieve the requested list.
Pressing PGM also exits type scroll mode and places the keypanel in single-step scroll mode.
In some cases, "WAIT" may display briefly while the requested list is being retrieved. "N/A" may
Note
display if there is no list. In this case, scrolling is disabled in ADAMedit for all destinations of the
selected type. For further information about scroll settings, search for keyword "scroll" in
ADAMedit help.
5 When the keypanel is in single-step scroll mode it may take a long time to scroll to the desired
name (this is particularly true of point-to-point lists). To speed up the process, you can use
prefix scroll mode. Prefix scrolling mode scrolls through a list in alpha-numeric order, but
displays only the first occurrence of each two-character prefix. For example, if your intercom
system had users CAM1, CAM2, CAM3, DIR1, DIR2; prefix scrolling would display CAM1
followed by DIR1. Once you locate a desired two-character prefix using prefix scroll, you can
switch back to single-step scrolling to make your final selection. Tap PREFIX to enter prefix
scroll mode, then use the −− ↓↓ keys to scroll. When you locate a name with the same first
two characters as the name you are looking for, tap the PGM key to return to single-step
scrolling mode.
6 In single-step mode, use the −− ↓↓ keys to make your final intercom port selection.
If you cannot locate the destination that you are looking for, it may not have scrolling enabled in

ADAMedit.
