Example from log: Station 164 (Operator B) talks to conference channel 1 for 5 seconds:
 
Jan  3 11:09:05 src@AlphaCom AlphaLog: ; 000002 ; 0 ; SX talk  ; AlphaCom(1) ; 164 ; Operator B  ; AlphaCom(1) ; 8201 ; Prog.Conf 1
 
Jan  3 11:09:11 src@AlphaCom AlphaLog: ; 000002 ; 5 ; SX talk stop  ; AlphaCom(1) ; 164 ; Operator B  ; AlphaCom(1) ; 8201 ; Prog.Conf 1
 
 
* '''Codec''': Option to force what codec to use for this conference
 
 
* '''Use Group Exclusion for SX Talker''': If two stations are located close to each other, there is a risk for acoustic feedback if both are listening to the same conference channel, and one of them is talking in the conference. When enabling this flag, one can use the [[Users_%26_Stations_(AlphaPro)#Group_Excl|Group Exclusion table]] of the talking station to avoid audio from being transmitted to the neighbouring station(s).

From the Open Duplex Conferences menu you can modify the properties of handsfree Duplex Conferences. See also Main article: Duplex Conference

Duplex Conference window


  • Conference Number: The Duplex Conference ID number, 1-20
  • Description: The text you enter here is displayed in the listbox to the left. Note that this text is not transferred to the AlphaCom server. It is stored locally on the PC only.
  • Master: When this station exits the conference, the whole conference is cancelled
  • Setup Priority: Allows you to set restrictions if a station is allowed to talk into a conference or not. Four levels are available:
  • Low (default)
  • Medium
  • High
  • Alarm

Each station has a "Simplex Conference Talk Priority" which has to be set higher than this setting to be able to talk into the conference. Else the station will be able to listen only, not talk back.

  • Recording: When enabled (default), the conference audio will be sent to external audio recorder if such device is connected. See AlphaCom Recording Interface

Directory Number and Display Text

Default directory numbers for the conference channels 1 - 50 are 8201 - 8250. For conference off: 8200.

Modifying the Directory Numbers and Display Text for the conference channels are done from the Directory & Features window. Simplex Conference is feature number 65.



Conference Number Reflects the conference highlighted in the listbox to the left
Description Her you enter the conference name, max 32 characters. The name is used in the listbox to the left. The information is not transferred to the exchange, but stored in the PC file
Master When this station leaves the conference the whole conference is cancelled
Setup Priority The priority setting specifies the priorities between the conferences

The following options are available: Low, Normal, High, Alarm Low, Normal and High:

  • No difference, the conferences are sorted by time of activation. On conference to group: If one participant is occupied, it is just left out of the group setup. No warning is given.

Alarm:

  • Cancels any other conference for the stations included in the conference
  • Cancels any ongoing conversation for the stations in the conference.

If a station is in an alarm conversation (call from a station with alarm priority) the conference will not cancel the conversation.

  • Seizes any necessary duplex mixing resources (AGA (and/or AMC-IP from AMC 10.50))
