Line Selection
When the unit is initially powered up, line 1 will be selected and the display will indicate the current
lines selected. You can select a line by either of two methods with the proper programming of the unit:
Quick-Select, or by using the Line Selection Menu.
N OTE : The number of selectable lines must be programmed in CARD Suite under the Tone Control/TX
functions.
Quick-Select Line Selection
If the programmable button(s) have been properly configured, pressing the associated button selects the
desired line or lines. The display shows the line(s) selected and the associated programmable button
LED lights if so configured. Previously selected lines become unselected.
Line Selection Menu
Press
SELECT
while in normal operation to enter the Line Select Menu. The display will show either a
number or a ‘_’ for each line that is available. If a number is display, that line is currently selected.
Otherwise, the line is not selected. Use numeric buttons 1 through 4 to select or unselect a line, or to
select multiple lines. Upon selection, the display indicates which line(s) is selected. If a programmable
button has been assigned to the line selected, the associated LED lights.
After selecting the desired line(s), press
SELECT
to exit the Line Selection Menu. As an alternative,
TRANSMIT, MONITOR or ALERT
can be pressed to exit the Line Selection Menu and immediately begin
a transmission or set the base station in monitor.
Since parallel status updating is not possible in the IPE2500-MLS, the operator should ensure that when
selecting a line that the desired frequency is set.
Unselect Audio Mute
To mute the unselect receive audio, a programmable button must be configured for mute operation using
CARD Suite. Upon activating unselect mute, an ‘M’ will be seen on the right side of the second line of
the display. This mute can be configured for a timed duration or infinite. To deactivate the unselect
mute, press the configured mute button a second time or change the unselect volume while in the line
select menu.
In addition to manually muting unselect receive audio, it is possible to mute the unselect receive audio
during transmission using CARD Suite. If enabled, during a transmission, the unselect receive audio will
be muted so that it does not interfere with the operator microphone audio. Upon ceasing transmission,
the unselect receive audio will be unmuted.
Multi-Select
A programmable button can be configured for multiple line selection. Once programmed, this button can
be used for the Quick-Select method. Alternately, the Line Selection Menu can also be used to select a
number of lines individually.
When more than one line is selected, all transmit-path relays on the line-select board are disengaged so
that lines are not physically connected together through the line-select board during receive mode. This
also causes all receive audio to be subjected to the unselect volume setting and unselect mute feature.
Upon transmission, the appropriate transmit-path relays are engaged. When the transmission is ceased,
the relays are again disengaged.
