k)
blab time:
This timer sets the maximum length of time any user can talk on any PA zone. The
range of time is from 01 to 99 seconds. Enter a value of 00 to disable the blab timer.
l)
entry time:
This is used to set the amount of time (from 01 to 99 seconds) the users have to
enter either the combination to open any of the locks or a zone number for a PA, mute
or volume zone. You can enter a value of 00 to disable the entry time timer.
o) idle time:
This entry is used to set the amount of time the Smart PA Station will remember what
the last access was after the user releases any button. After the idle timer expires, the
Smart PA Station will return to displaying the time of day (if enabled). If the user presses
the same button a second time before this timer expires, then the same access will take
place. If the key pressed is not the same one as had last been pushed, but is Ôcompli-
mentaryÕ to the first one (mute zone accesses, volume zone ramp up/down, or volume
zone to minimum/maximum) and both keys require zone entry, then the second button
will be selected with the same zone number as the first. Entering a 00 value will effec-
tively make this timer never time out.
p) auto release:
When ÔONÕ, this toggle forces the Smart PA Station to immediately forget what the
last access used was. This effectively disables the IDLE TIMER above.
q) upload/download:
This command is used to save the configuration in the Smart PA Station to your com-
puter or to upload an existing configuration to the Smart PA Station. This command if you
want to upload or download data.
If you chose to download your current configuration:
1)
tell your computer to save any characters the Smart PA Station sends back to your
computer into a file.
2)
Press ÔsÕ to start the download when you are ready.
3)
After the download has finished, then tell your computer to close the downloaded
file.
4)
Press the <ESC>ape key to redraw the screen.
If you are going to upload a configuration, you have to set your computer to delay
a little bit between each character sent so that the Smart PA Station has time to store
away the configuration to the EEPROM. To upload a configuration:
1)
Send a previously saved configuration to the Smart PA Station.
2)
Alter the baud rate and PA Station number as needed to reflect the current posi-
tion of this PA Station.

The access locks are used to limit unauthorized accesses to the PA system. These
commands are used to enter all of the keys to the locks. The key to any lock can be any-
where from one to eight keystrokes long
The Smart PA Station will ask the user to enter a key whenever they press any key
which is currently locked. The user then has the amount of time set by the ENTRY TIME to
enter a valid key.
