Conferences - (Some maps contain Partyline (conference) opera-
tion)
A party line also called a conference, allows ports to talk and listen to each other
constantly (like in a telephone conference).
Partylines are normally used when several non-panel devices (such as beltpacks or
cameras) need the ability to talk/listen to each other constantly.
Generally panels are never permanent members of partylines. However a panel
can have a PL key assigned to allow it to occasionally talk or listen to a partyline.
Matrix ports that connect to external devices like beltpacks or camera CCUs can
be made fixed members of a partyline. A fixed member is forced to hear all talkers
on the Party Line and their audio is sent permanently to the Party Line.
In the Easi-PiCo basic configuration map port #8 is a fixed member of Party Line
1.
This means that any panel that talks on this Party Line 1 will send audio to the
beltpacks connected to port #8, also any panel pressing a listen key to Party Line
1 will monitor any commands on the Party Line 1 (whether from other panels or
from the beltpacks connected to port #8.
In the Party Line configuration map:
Port #6 is fixed member of Party Line .
Port #7 is fixed member of Party Line 2.
Port #8 is fixed member of Party Line 3.
Etc..

Groups- some maps contain Group operation

A group allows a panel to talk / listen to many ports by using 1 pushbutton (one
to many).
A group maybe made up of panels and interface ports (4wires, beltpacks and
externals).
In the Easi-PiCo maps in general there are a number of group buttons:
