The pots also operate in SOFT mode, but there is no cross-point level indicator on the display. 4.10.3 Pot Switch Operation A pot switch, on the PD4212 and PD4222 panel types, operates on the same port as the corresponding LCD key.
Pot switches cannot be locally or remotely configured, but take on the same listen access capabili- ties as centrally configured keys. The key action of a pot switch is 'latch only'. 4.10.4 Shift Pushbutton The Shift pushbutton toggles between the Main Page and the additional DAK assignments of the Shift Page.
The current setting of either the Main or Auxiliary Volume Control is displayed as a level bar on the Reply Key, above the Reply Key text. Turning these controls clockwise or counter-clockwise, increases or decreases the length of the relevant control bar. The most recently moved control is displayed.
Pressing the Main Volume Control invokes loudspeaker cut. The green LED above the Reply Key is illuminated while the loudspeaker is cut. 4.10.11 Reply Key This DAK is designated to respond to any unscheduled calls. The green LCD indicator on the REPLY Key only flashes to signal the presence of an unscheduled call, when a DAK is unavailable, (i.e.
The Direct Access Keys can be programmed with a range of attributes as set in the Configuration and Master Assignment Programming System (CMAPSi) workstation software. The pushbutton attributes are: Table 38: PD4222 Pushbutton Attributes Talk Only A single DAK press causes an audio route to be made from the source panel to the desired destinations.
NOTE: When an incoming call is present, the LCD key flashes to indicate that the LCD key should be pressed to respond to the call. If the pot switch (configured with a valid port entry) is pressed, both red and green switch LEDs are illuminated.

Pressing the LOAD or ADD pushbuttons at the Assign menu displays the following menu: Table 51: Load or Add Functions LOAD: (or...
Pressing the desired (flashing) DAK completes the assignment of the entry to that DAK. Press EXIT to return to the Assign function menu. 6.2.5.3 Using the List Function A list of all entries assigned to a DAK can be viewed by pressing LIST pushbutton at the Assign menu. The display changes to show all of the DAK assignments, with those available for listing flashing.

PAGE Mode PAGE mode allows one of three pages of 46 DAKs to be selected for local programming. CMAPS configuration of DAKs may reduce this number. Centrally configured DAKs are common to all pages. The DAKs on each page correspond to the main page and shifted page. The PAGE option is not available if a DAK is pressed on the main or shifted page when SOFT mode is entered.
Page 208
INFO Mode INFO mode allows the operator to view current panel status information, perform tests on keys and set up loudspeaker mute, microphone gain and side-tone parameters. After a matrix black button reset or local panel '999' reset, the loudspeaker mute, microphone gain and side-tone controls revert to their default settings.
Loudspeaker Mute The loudspeaker mute status can be changed locally using the INFO feature in SOFT mode. The default status is not muted (i.e. OFF). The current loudspeaker mute setting is displayed on the top line of the bottom row of keys in INFO mode.
6.4.2 Level Control Audio level is adjusted by turning the Rotary Encoder while in Master Level Control Mode or Level Control Mode. The changing value is displayed above the Rotary Encoder or above the DAK being pressed. Each level control has a range of 0.0 (off) to 10.0 (+12dB approximately), and is adjusted in steps of 0.5.
6.4.3 SOFT Mode When the SOFT Pushbutton is pressed SOFT Mode is selected, and its red LED is lit. SOFT Mode can be selected from Master Level Control Mode or Level Control Mode. The Rotary LED Display flashes, and defaults to "ASSN". The Rotary Encoder is used to scroll through a menu of 5 SOFT Mode facilities. In the order that they are displayed, the 5 menu selections are: ASSN Adds or overwrites local assignments to a DAK...
6.4.3.2 ASSN (Assign) Mode When the Rotary Encoder Display is flashing "ASSN", the unassigned DAK's displays also flash. Any DAK that is currently active is not available for programming, and its display does not flash. ASSN Mode is entered when a flashing DAK is selected. The Rotary Encoder Display stops flashing and displays "ASSN".
In the order that they are displayed, the four attribute options are: • TALK - Talk only to the directory entry • LSTN - Listen only to the directory • T+L - Talk and Listen to the directory entry • T+FL - Talk and Forced Listen to the directory entry The DAKs 11 to 13 operate as ADD, SAVE and QUIT keys as described below.
The QUIT key exits DEL Mode, and returns the panel to the top level of SOFT Mode. The DEL key deletes all assignments from the DAK and the panel returns to the Master Level Control Mode. On returning to Master Level Control Mode the DAK mnemonic displayed is either blank ( -- ) or returns to the mnemonic of a centrally configured assignment made to the DAK.
The Rotary Encoder Display still flashes "CALL" to indicate that the Rotary Encoder will scroll through the SOFT Mode facilities. The first digit press clears any previously disconnected called number from the display and starts a new number above the first DAK. To correct an entry, CALL Mode is exited then re-entered using the Rotary Encoder.
DAKs that have a numerical legend to enter a number in the range 101 to 110, this adjusts the brightness of the displays; 110 corresponds to the brightest setting. 6.4.7 Panel Feature Summary This section highlights the main feature differences between the PD4217 panel and the 4000 Series II Control Panels.

The destination can be a three-digit number, addressing a port, group or conference in the same system; or a four-digit number, addressing a port on another system in the network; the first digit being the system number and the remaining three digits corresponding to the port within the system. Once the numbers are entered and the operation is complete, an audio connection is established between the specified source and destination.

Directory. Allows viewing of directory entries. Returns to previous menu. EXIT Exits to Soft mode. The directory entry to be assigned can be a 3-digit number, addressing a panel on the local system, or a group, conference or IFB. The directory entry can also be a 4-digit number, addressing a panel on another system in the network.
TAKE Executes the Remote Key assignment. Returns to a previous menu to re-select a panel number. EXIT Exits to Soft mode. To execute the assignment, press TAKE. In the given example, pressing TAKE executes assignment to panel 609, directory entry 608, Talk and Listen status, DAK number 11. The display automatically returns to the first Remote Key assignment menu, allowing another selection, if desired.
Deactivating, with the Make before break field cleared, ii) All Extension Panel or Shift Page DAKs are set to Non-Latch. 6.6.2 IFB Destinations The control panel provides 31 IFB destination DAKs. These DAKs can be locally, centrally or remotely programmed. CMAPSi can configure the default sources, destinations, returns, priority and interrupt levels for each IFB in the system.
Program source DAKs must be CMAPSi programmed to Listen, to enable monitoring. The panel listens to the input of the program source while the DAK is pressed. Program source DAKs that are also programmed to Talk, will talk to the program source port. Selecting a program source DAK lights the red LED on the DAK.
