Simplex conversation (Event Handler)

General

This document describes how you can override the voice-operated duplex (VOX), and have a fixed speech direction. Two applications are described.<br\> The first one describes how calls from a master station can be programmed to have initial speech direction from the called station towards the master station.<br\> The second one describes how the whole exchange can be set in permanent simplex mode.<br\> Software requirement: AMC 08.20 or newer.

Initial Speech Direction B to A

When a master station calls a substation it is often required that the conversation should have a fixed speech direction from the substation towards the master station.<br\> By using the AlphaCom Event Handler, it is possible to force the M-key on the B-subscriber ON when the conversation starts, and release the M-key when the conversation cancels. This will force the initial speech direction to be from the substation towards the master station. By operating the M-key, the master can override the speech direction. (In AlphaCom, the last one who is pressing the M-key will get the speech direction). If the master makes a short M-key press the conversation will turn to voice switched duplex.
