“kick”) the other panel or you will be denied access to the channel. See Sharing Channels ,
following.
S When you and other operators share the same channel, the other panels reflect any change
you make, and your control panel reflects changes made on other panels.
If a configurable button is assigned to the channel you select, it becomes high-tally. Under auto-
matic gang mode, any buttons assigned to the channels in the gang become high-tally.
Sharing Channels
Your panel can be configured to share or not to share channels with other panels.
If your panel is not configured to share, an attempt to acquire the channel at an other panel can
preempt your use of the channel. If the other panel has a higher priority than yours has, it will
preempt you and take over the channel, and you will be notified of the fact.
Conversely, if you wish to preempt another panel, and have a higher priority than that panel,
you can preempt the other panel.
If your panel is configured for sharing, it is possible for you to share a channel with other panels,
unless some other channel that is not configured for sharing controls that channel.
Preemption
When your panel is not configured for sharing, if the channel (or one of the ganged channels)
you want to control is in use, you will see either a permission message or a denial of access
message:
If you see a permission message, and you wish to preempt the other panel, press ‘OK’. Otherwise
press ‘Cancel’.
If you see a denial of access message, press ‘OK’. You may not acquire the channel. You can try
again later, choose another channel, or negotiate with the other panel operator.
S If someone preempts you, your panel will immediately appear to “go dead.” What actually
happens is the same thing that would happen if you pressed a ‘No Channel’ button. You will
have to wait for the channel to become available again or switch to another channel.
S A panel can preempt another panel if it has been configured with a higher priority or in
some cases, with the same or higher priority.
