A special list is a means for a keypanel operator to talk and/or listen to several
unrelated destinations using a single key. Special lists are useful for group call or
zone paging. Special list members are defined in AZedit. Once a special list has
been configured, it can be assigned to a keypanel key. A special list is a group of
intercom ports that a keypanel operator can talk or listen to by activating a single key.
A special list is a group of intercom ports that a keypanel operator can talk or listen to
by activating a single key. Special Lists are typically used for paging, all call, group
call, etc. Special Lists have default names SL01, SL02, etc. These names can be
changed using Other Alpha setup. You define the members of the special lists using
Special List setup. Once a special list has been setup, you typically assign it to a
keypanel key using Keypanel setup. The keypanel operator can then activate the
special list key to talk or listen to all members of the special list. IMPORTANT: Do
NOT confuse special lists and party lines. A special list is used when a keypanel
operator needs to occasionally talk or listen to a group of intercom ports that are
otherwise unrelated. A party line is typically used when several users of non-keypanel
device (such as belt packs or camera intercoms) are engaged in a specific common
activity and they need to talk and/or listen to each other all the time. Keypanels are
almost never members of party lines (although they can be). However, a keypanel
key can be assigned to occasionally talk or listen to a party line if desired. Remem-
ber, party lines are primarily set up for party line members, with occasional access by
keypanel operators, while special lists are set up exclusively for keypanel operators to
talk or listen to several unrelated intercom ports. For more information, see the AZedit
User Manual.
See Talk Level 1 and Talk Level 2 descriptions.
Talk Level 1 is the normal talk key assignment. This is the assignment that normally
appears in the alphanumeric display (on keypanels so equipped). You may add a talk
level 2 assignment to activate a second device along with talk level 2.
Talk Level 2 is used with stacked talk keys. A stacked talk key activates two types of
communication at once. For example, a stacked talk key could simultaneously
activate audio output to a transmitter using a relay. The audio output is call the level 1
assignment and the relay is the called the level 2 assignment.
Trunking is a method of interconnecting two or more independent intercom systems.
The connection is accomplished by reserving one or more audio ports in each of the
intercom systems for use as audio links between the systems. A special device,
called a Trunking Master Controller, is required to control access and usage for the
trunked intercom ports. A configuration utility, called CSTrunk, is used to set up the
Trunking Master Controller.
