1.
If you have been working on a setup file, perform a Save.
2.
If you are not connected to the Intercom system, make a Connection. See Connecting – ONLINE mode,
page XXX.
3.
From the Options menu, select Intercom Configuration.
A message indicating, "Warning! Changing these settings my cause a mismatch between ADAMedit and the
settings in the intercom" appears.
4.
Click OK.
The Intercom Configuration screen appears.
5.
Verify the current settings for Frames and Intercom Type match your intercom system. If needed, make
any changes to the Resource tab.
Note: From the Intercom Configuration screen, you may make other setting changes. However,
many users find the standard settings satisfactory. For more information about the Intercom
Configuration screen, see the AZedit Help.
Master Controller Intercom Configuration
In ADAM CS and ADAM intercom systems, the master controller configuration is the key to your intercom system,
because whatever is defined here is all that will be allowed for actual intercom operation. As you may have guessed,
it is possible to increase or decrease the quantities of some types of resources and options in the master controller to
free up memory for larger quantities of other resources. There are also reasons why you might want to reduce or
eliminate quantities of resources and options that are not required:
Advantages of reducing master controller intercom configuration settings
The intercom system will power up faster with fewer resources.
Less memory resources will be used in the system controller. For example, in larger, multi-frame intercom
systems, where the number of intercom ports can exceed several hundred, the configuration information
for the ports themselves will require a large portion of the system memory. In such cases, unused IFB's,
ISO's etc. can be removed from the resource configuration to make room for resources that are being
used.
Scroll lists will be smaller (when viewing them both in AZedit or from a keypanel).
AZedit will connect to the intercom system faster (fewer items to upload).
AZedit will update faster (fewer items to query).
Saving/Loading files will be faster (less data to upload, less data to save/load).
Setup files will require less disk space with fewer resources.
Checks for duplicate names (alphas) will be faster with fewer resources.
Sending changes to the intercom system will be faster with fewer resources.
You will not mistakenly configure resources that do not exist (i.e. using ports that do not have Audio I/O
Cards).
Disadvantages of reducing master controller intercom configuration settings
If you add more hardware later (More Audio I/O Cards, for example) you will have to readjust your master
controller and AZedit configuration settings. Changing settings in the master controller can take up to 10
minutes. You may also have to reconfigure your setup files. This may require 2-3 minutes per file if you
have several files.
