For a quick temporary setup where not all features are required, “Aux Distributed”... -
Page 34: 2-Wire Distributed Set Up
2-Wire Distributed Set Up When a system is configured for 2-Wire Distributed operation, it has most of the features of a stand-alone base. However, the wiring is somewhat more complex and there are still some feature limitations. In this mode, receiver audio from the Slave bases is distributed by way of the auxiliary inputs and outputs as well as the 2-wire intercom lines. -

® Beltpac configuration settings on a PC and save the settings to files. An RS-232 interface cable must be used to connect the PRO850 base station to the PC in which PC850 software is installed. PDA850 is a Palm OS application for remote configuration of individual Beltpacs. -
Page 41: Pc850 Operation
PC850 can be operated in either of two modes: Offline or Online. Offline means that the program is operated without any connection to a PRO850 base station. In this mode, the only screens that can be accessed are under the Configuration tab. This allows a user to set up configurations and save them to disk so that they can be loaded into the base station later. - Page 42 two types of connections are shown: Manual connections and dynamic connections. Manual connections result from configuration settings or functions. Dynamic connections result from Beltpac operations or the front panel Talk button. Checking a box in the window always results in a manual connection. Manual connections are not overridden by dynamic operations.
