Button Operation
Push to talk operation
Press a Push to Talk button to call the help desk or another
console. That enables the microphone, causes the Mic On LED
to light, and enables communication to the location associated
with that button. When pressed, the button lights bright amber.
• If the console PC being called is busy, the IPI plays a WAV
file to tell the caller that the line is busy. A “call received”
message appears at the help desk console PC to indicate that
the intercom is calling.
• If the console PC being called is not connected to the network,
the IPI plays a WAV file stored on its local MLC to notify the
intercom user that the connection is not available. Also, the
button lights red instead of amber.
• Once a call is successfully connected, press and hold the
button when you speak, and release it to allow the other party
to speak.
N You must press and hold an IPI’s button to speak and to
call the help desk or another intercom. When you release
the button, the intercom’s microphone turns off.
