Glossary

For talk key assignment only. Activating an All Call key will also activate all talk keys
to the left 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, etc.). Change Alpha names for intercom ports using the Port Alpha button
in AZedit. Change alpha names for everything else using the Other Alphas button.
When you assign a destination to a talk key, the alpha name will appear in the alpha-
numeric display for that key (on keypanels so equipped).
A key assignment for listkeys only. Auto follow causes a key's listen assignment to
always be 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 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 automatically activates during talk. Auto listen is sometimes a good assign-
ment 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 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 AZedit, 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 ton whatever is assigned to the talk key. It is used commonly on keypanels
which are not equipped 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.
