GCNET and Galactic Voice
A speaker group programmed as non-silenceable cannot be silenced by a switch
press of either the speaker group (when in Alert or Evacuation) or the PMI/PMI-2/
PMI-3 Audible Silence switch.
For Voice systems, access control is managed independently in each Building. In
order to have access control of the entire site, the FCC must request and acquire
access control from each Building.
To each Building XLS Node, each VLinks appears simply as an additional Command
Station in the node. Therefore, each Building XLS node will support transfer of access
control between all of its Command Stations (real, local Command Stations and
VLinks stations).
In Galactic Voice, there will not be a separate access control mechanism. Instead,
each FCC will aggregate the state of access control on all of its VLinks in order to
display the "galactic" status of access control on the FCC's Galactic Command
Station. Similarly, presses of Galactic Request, Galactic Grant, and Galactic Deny
switches will be managed through propagation of the button press to the appropriate
VLinks' buttons.
Site-wide access control may be requested through the following FCC switches:
1. Galactic Request Access
2. Galactic Grant Access
3. Galactic Deny Access
These switches, which utilize the Request/Grant/Deny and Global Request/Global
Grant/Global Deny switches in each VLinks to perform operations in the Building and
to view the status of access to the Building.
To facilitate access transfer between FCCs, the Request switches in the VLinks can
be assigned either a low timeout or no timeout.
Since access control is acquired independently for each Building, an FCC may have
only partial access to the site. When it does not have full access, the Galactic
Request LED is Off, and only the Request Access LEDs in VLinks for which the FCC
has access control are on.
Lamp Test allows the user to test all visible terminal indications.
To perform a Lamp Test, follow the steps listed below:
1. Depress the Lamp Test switch.
2. All LEDs on the FCC will be on steady red, then steady green followed by
steady yellow, each for approximately three seconds.
3. The Lamp Test automatically shuts off after cycling through the LED colors.
