The Master Keys are labeled for the sources and allow the
user to change what is being listened to in that zone. For the
examples in this section one of the Master Keys will be labeled
DMS4 and allow the user to choose to listen to one of the
streams of music coming from the DMS4 Digital Music Server.
The PREV & NEXT buttons allow the user to skip to the previous
or next song in the play queue of the DMS4. All of the user
interface controls have VOLUME UP, VOLUME DOWN and
MUTE which allow the user to adjust the volume level of the loud
speakers in the room where the control is.
The SINGLE, DISPLAY and CONTACT are wall-mounted
keypads. The iREMOTE ® is a wireless remote control that can
be taken throughout the house to control the IntelliControl ® ICS
multi-zone system.
NOTE: The CONTACT TT is a CONTACT Keypad in a tabletop
caddy. All references to CONTACT include CONTACT TT.
The DISPLAY, CONTACT keypads and iREMOTE
® have a
visible feedback area, which will provide the user information
(metadata) from the IntelliControl ® ICS DMS4. This metadata
is the artist, album and song title information contained in the
music stored on the DMS4 Digital Music Server. This metadata
information also allows the user to navigate their way through all
of the music stored on the DMS4. The following sections detail
how the user should use the metadata on these control interfaces
to navigate and control the DMS4 Digital Music Server.

The DISPLAY and iREMOTE ® interface controls are virtually
identical in their functionality. Both interface controls have Menu
navigation controls, alphanumeric buttons and soft keys (as
shown in Fig. 6-3) that allow the user to “move” through the
menu screens for control over the DMS4.

The Menu Navigation buttons are the UP, DOWN, LEFT, RIGHT
and SELECT, and these buttons are used to cycle through a list of
choices in the display area.
The Alphanumeric buttons are laid out like a cell-phone and are
used for music search features on the DMS4. The soft keys are
buttons just below the LCD screen and change their functionality
based on what DMS4 menu the user is on.

The CONTACT keypad has the same areas of control for the
DMS4, however it is a touch screen interface, so instead of
pressing hard buttons the user will touch the screen for some of
the control features. When the CONTACT keypad shows a
list of choices, the user does not have to use an UP or DOWN
hard buttons, he just touches the screen of his choice.
