I-series advanced functions
The I-Series operates in one of four modes:
• COM mode is the default mode. In this mode the I-Series panel operates as a
simple panel. Talk labels are assigned to destinations, and listen labels are
assigned to sources.
• IFB mode allows the I-Series to assign a program audio source or sources to an
IFB Global destination. For example on-the-air audio can be assigned to the talent
or announcer in a television studio application. It is called IFB mode because the
program audio source that is routed to the IFB destination can be interrupted by
an incoming intercom call to the IFB destination.
• PL mode allows the panel operator to add and delete members of a partyline
directly from the panel.
• FG mode allows the panel operator to add and remove members of a fixed group
directly from the panel.
For more details of how to use the I-Series advanced functions, see the I-Series Panels
User Guide.

Using EHX to set up I-Series fixed group membership options
A fixed group occurs when one source needs to call many destinations at one time. The
panel operator can add and remove members of a fixed group in real time with the I-Series

To enable the feature in EHX
1)
Open the required map configuration in EHX.
2)
From Cards and Ports screen, select the required panel.
3)
Select Port Properties > AP Panel Options > Fixed Group Assignment. Click
the drop-down box to turn the feature on or off.
• When the check box reads true the feature is on.
• When the check box reads false the feature is off.
4)
From Panel Programming, select the panel to which the I-Series is connected,
and immediately below it, select the I-Series panel.
5)
Assign the fixed group source as a talk key on the I-Series panel on screen.
6)
Assign potential fixed group members as listen keys on the I-Series panel on the
screen.
