SECTION 2
PROGRAMMINGTHE KEYPANEL
GENERAL
CSedit is the primary tool for creating and savingintercom system configurations. However, a
keypanel's setup may also be modified using the programming keypad on the keypanel, provided
restrictions have not been imposed using CSedit. If you
try to program a restricted key or function, the
programming will be ignored.
Setup changes made at the keypanel immediately become part of the intercom system configuration.
These changes will be retained im the master controllerduring loss of power, but if a permanent record is
desired, the changes should be uploaded to CSedit and saved to disk. (Select "OpenOn-Line" from the
CSedit Intercom menu, then select "Save to File" from the File menu.)
KEYPAD KEY LABELING
The CLR key is used to cancel a program sequence. It is a good idea to start any program sequence
by first tapping this key to clear any uncompleted programming sequence.
The white labels on some keys indicate programming sequences that start by simply tapping that key.
For example, to program a party line, you always
start by tapping the white "PL" key.
The red labels on some keys indicate programming sequences that start by tapping the FUNC key
followed by a red-labelled key. For example, to program a special list, you always start by tapping
FUNCSLIST (tap the FUNC key, then tap the SLlST key).
Keys with numbers 0-9 are used to enter panel numbers, party line numbers etc.
The PGM key is generally pressed immediately before pressing a talk or listen key when making a key
assignment. The PGM key is used to tell the keypanel that you have completed a key sequence and
now wish to assign a key.
