a. Always set the DIP switches the same on both the main and backup controller cards.
b. The default setting of 9600 baud is compatible with the default setting for the AZedit configuration software. Alternatively, 38.4k
baud will provide faster uploads and downloads, but the cable from the ADAM Frame to the PC must be kept to a length less than
10ft (3m), and some older PCs may not operate reliably at this speed.
c. Normally, when a call is received by a keypanel, the keypanel checks for a talk key assigned to the caller. If there is no talk key
assigned, the display above that key will flash. If no key is assigned, the caller's name will appear in the Incoming Messages
window. Some intercom systems may have many keypanels that do not have alpha-numeric displays. In this case, it may be
preferable to have all callers names appear in the Incoming Messages window.
d. The in-use flash is indicated by a slow and continuous flashing display above a keypanel talk key. It is provided for IFBs, ISOs and
trunk lines. It occurs, for example, on all keypanels that have keys assigned to a particular IFB, when that IFB is in-use by any
keypanel.The displays will continue to flash until the IFB is no longer in-use. Any user could activate their talk key to talk to the IFB
while the display is flashing, but they may interrupt a conversation that is in progress.
The busy flash is indicated by a display that alternates between the normal key assignment and a double asterisk (**) when the talk
key is pressed. A "busy" flash occurs when a keypanel tries to talk to an IFB or trunk line that is currently in-use by another
keypanel that has a higher IFB or trunking priority. When a busy flash is indicated, the user cannot talk to the destination assigned to
the talk key.
e. 38.4K baud is the normal data rate for communication with a local trunk mast. 9600 baud may be selected when the intercom system
is connected to a remote trunk master over some form of long-distance connection (modems, partial T1, etc.). However, expect large
response delays when using 9600 baud. If this is not acceptable, other methods of connection using additional equipment may be
required.
f. Set to ON only for Altera chip versions 4.1 and higher. Provides enhanced error correction for the bus clock. Leave in OFF position
for Altera versions below 4.1.
g. The primary frame is the one which is connected to the system configuration computer, trunk master, UIO-256s, PAPs, etc. When a
single ADAM frame is used alone, it must be set as the primary frame. When several ADAM frames are interconnected using bus
expanders, one of the frames must be set as the primary frame, and all other frames must be set as secondary frames.
