Common Configuration Elements

Programing Shortcuts
To facilitate faster programming, you can assign all of the Stations on a 116 to a Console by
double clicking on the Console # at the top of the column and it will toggle all of the boxes in
the vertical column below on or off. Double clicking the All column header will toggle on or
off all of the enables for all of the Stations.
Column headers of any cell that is editable can be double clicked to help speed up
programming. If a column is a check box, all values in the column will be toggled on or off.
Columns that are text, numbers, or contain drop down boxes, will open a window in which
you can set the value for that column.
All is a button to assist in the selection of ODCs to receive call from this Station. By double
clicking on the All button, all of the Console enables will toggle on or off for that selected
Station. Green means selected.
Privacy Tone Active is an optional feature that inserts a tone every 10-20 seconds when a
Station or ODC is being listened to Privacy Tone (PT) is set for the end point of the call to
.
alert the party being called that they are being listened to. If ODC-a calls ODC-b, a PT is
used if ODC-b has it turned on. Same is true in regards to ODC to Station call. The end point,
be it a Prison cell, Infirmary, Bathroom, Another Guard, or Teacher, can be individually
configured for a PT or not.
The PT is ALWAYS echoed back to the calling ODC. So, if I call you, and you have PT on,
when it beeps on your side, I hear it on my side. The PT is generated by the end point. This
way there is no way for a Calling ODC to get messed up and NOT send the tone. Essentially,
if someone is listening to me in the Bathroom, I will send the beep to them.
ODC to ODC calling is an option with any ODC. This is determined by how system
connections are set up and allowed. An option is available to make sure that a particular
ODC is never available to be called. In this way a Systems Integrator cannot inadvertently
program a particular ODC to be listened to.
Paging is set in the ODC options. Group or Zone Paging is set for any group of Stations that
are commonly paged at the same time. Each ODC can set up to 16 unique page Groups or
Zones. Any Group can contain any combination of ODC and Remote Stations. Pages
override a connected call. If Intercom Calls are happening between an ODC and Station, the
Intercom Calls are muted while the Page happens. When the page is done, any muted call
is restored and the PT is played immediately, if it is turned on for that end point. There can
also be elevated priority Pages.
One of the 16-page groups can be set as an All-Page group for those Stations associated
with a particular ODC.
