Glossary - RTS EKP-632 User Manual

For talk key assignment only. Activating an All Call key will also activate all talk keys to the left
All Call
of the All Call key (up to, but not including another All Call key).
Alphas are the user-changeable names which identify destinations (intercom ports, party lines,
Alpha
etc). Change Alpha names for intercom ports using the Port Alpha button in ADAMedit. Change
Alpha names for everything else using the Other Alpha button. When you assign a destination to
a talk key, the alpha name will appear in the alphanumeric display for that key (on keypanels so
equipped).
A key assignment for listen keys only. Auto follow causes a key's listen assignment to always be
Auto Follow
(AF) the same as the talk assignment. Thus, if you change the talk assignment, you do not also have to
change the listen assignment. You can manually activate an auto-follow listen key independently
of the talk key. If you want auto-activation (or deactivation) of listen during talk, use one of the
other auto key assignments, such as auto listen or auto mute.
Auto functions are special key assignments that work with other key assignments. For further
Auto
Functions information, see the glossary descriptions of individual auto functions: auto-follow, auto-listen,
auto-reciprocal, auto-mute, auto-table, all-call, DIM.
A key assignment for listen keys only. This assignment works like auto follow, except that listen
Auto Listen
(AL) automatically activates during talk, Auto listen is sometimes a good assignment for use with party
lines or other non-keypanel devices that do not have talk-back control of matrix crosspoints.
A key assignment for listen keys only. This assignment works like auto follow, except that listen
Auto Mute
(AM) automatically mutes during talk. Auto mute can help prevent feedback or echo when talking to
certain destinations. In some cases, you may find it works better to disable talk latching for this
type of key, because if you accidentally leave talk latched on you will never be able to hear the
destination. To disable latching, in the Keypanels / Ports menu of ADAMedit, check the "D"
check box for any talk key that has auto mute selected as the listen assignment.
A key assignment for listen keys only. This assignment forces you to continuously listen to
Auto
Reciprocal whatever is assigned to the talk key. It is used commonly on keypanels which are not equipped
(AR)
with listen keys, to allow listening to party lines. It is also useful to force listening when it is
desirable to have an operator continuously hear a party line or other source.
A key assignment for listen keys only, when the corresponding talk key is assigned to an IFB.
Auto Table
Auto Table causes a listen key's assignment to always be the same as the Listen Source for
(AT)
whatever IFB is currently assigned to the talk key. (You define the Listen Source in ADAMedit
during IFB setup.) Auto Table is convenient in a broadcast environment when a director needs 2-
way communication with the IFB talent, AND the IFB keys are frequently reassigned during the
course of a program to talk to new talent locations. Using ADAMedit, several IFBs can be set up
in advance, and their Listen Sources can also be defined during setup. Then every time an IFB
talk key is reassigned on a keypanel, the Listen Source for each new IFB will automatically
become the listen key assignment for that key. For further information about Auto Tables, Listen
Sources, and IFBs, search for "IFB" in ADAMedit help.
