Keyboard configuration
The correct keyboard configuration needs to be set. This is done via the web interface of the station:
- Navigate to Advanced AlphaCom > Keyboard
- Select Keyboard Type = 2
- Press “Save Keyboard Config”
Special Function Keys
The School Intercom station has some special function keys:
- Emergency Button: Input 1
- Volume UP: DAK Key 1
- Volume DOWN: DAK Key 2
- Star key (*): DAK Key 3
- Hash key (#): DAK Key 4
These keys have no function by default, and needs to be configured.
Emergency Button
The handset hook-switch is connected between input 3 (Key 3 and Common) on terminal block P4 on the IP Station Board. An event must be created that reports correct handset status to the AlphaCom. In Users & Stations, select the Events button, press Insert and enter an event with the following properties:
The action string is: %chg($HOFF %1.ref,$HON %1.ref)
Volume UP
Enable the hotline function by selecting the hotline station in the listbox in Users & Stations, select the Station Type tab, and check the Hotline flagg:
In Users & Stations, select the DAK button, and enter the call destination on DAK 7:
If the hotline call should generate a Call Request instead, enter "I 623 I xxx" on DAK 7, where xxx is the target station. If the Call Request should be cleared when replacing the handset, enter "I626 I xxx" on DAK 8, else leave DAK 8 blank.
Volume DOWN
By default there is a 5.0 second delay from the handset is lifted until the call is placed. Often you want the call to be placed immediately. To change the delay time, select Exchange & System, System, Calls and Options.
Star (*) and Hash (#) keys
The Full Keypad models have three Direct Access Keys, D1 to D3, which will trigger DAK key 1 to DAK key 3 in the AlphaCom.
However, the hook switch connected to input 3 will also trigger DAK Key 3. Due to this conflict, button D3 cannot normally not be used.
