1.2. A Difference of Speech Method Depending on Usage Conditions of the Station
Packet Intercom system permits hands-free full duplex conversation. However, operations of an echo canceller
or a voice switch could change depending on the stations to be used, conversation partner, or each station's
usage condition (handset or hands-free conversation), resulting in half duplex conversation.
Effective use of hands-free conversation function requires some consideration of settings and operations.
(Refer to next item.)
Speech methods related to station usage conditions are given in a table below. Use this table as a guide for
selecting appropriate stations and their speech method.
[Explanations of terms used in the table]
• Calling station:
Represents the station that makes calls and its usage conditions.
• Called station:
Represents the station that receives calls and its usage conditions.
• AEC:
An abbreviation of "Automatic Echo Canceller." Represents the state that the echo
canceller works. Full duplex conversation is always possible.
• VS:
An abbreviation of "Voice Switch." Represents the state that the voice switch works.
Half duplex conversation is possible.
• AEC + VS:
Represents the state that both echo canceller and voice switch work simultaneously
depending on the settings of microphone sensitivity and speaker output volume of
the station.
• PTT conversation:
Pressing the PTT key of the master station, IP master station, or IP remote
microphone station enables half duplex conversation.
• Full duplex:
Full duplex conversation is always possible between the handset stations.
• Conversation impossible: Conversation between the door stations, between the substations, and between
the door station and the substation is impossible.
Notes
• Models corresponding to stations are given below.
· Master station:
N-8000MS, N-8010MS, N-8011MS, N-8020MS, N-8031MS, N-8033MS
· Door station:
N-8050DS
· IP master station:
N-8500MS, N-8510MS, N-8600MS
· IP Remote microphone station: N-8610RM
· IP door station:
N-8540DS, N-8640DS, N-8650DS
· Analog master station:
N-8410MS
• In conversation with substations, handset conversation is required for the master station and IP master.
In this case, the type of conversation method is half-duplex conversation.
• In conversation between both analog master stations connected to the same Sub-station interface unit, half
duplex conversation is made between the stations when both are engaged in hands-free conversation, but
full duplex conversation when engaged in other conversation mode.
• When the N-8000CO outside line interface is connected, conversations between outside line telephones and
intercom stations are half-duplex using the voice switch if the station is in hands-free mode, and full-duplex if
the station is in handset mode.
• Operation of the analog telephone connected to the N-8000AL is the same as for the master station handset.
