Special Function Keys
The School Intercom station has some special function keys:
- Emergency Button: DAK Key 11
- 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 need to be configured.
Emergency Button
The emergency button is connected to Input 1 on the station PCB, which is reported as DAK key 11.
The emergency button is configured from AlphaPro. In Users & Stations window, select the School Intercom from the list box and select the button DAK. Enter the call destination on DAK 11.
Optionally the emergency button can be configured in the Event Handler, then you leave the DAK table blank. The button press is reported as event 30, subevent 11.
In the example below the command $GM L85 L8193 U3 U0 U0 is activated when the button is pressed. This command activates prerecorded alarm message 3 (8193) to group 85, repeated 3 times:
Volume UP
The "Volume UP" button activates DAK key 1. Via the Event Handler this button can be programmed to step up the volume every time it is pressed. The volume range is 0 to 9. The display will show the current volume setting.
In Users & Stations window, select the School Intercom from the list box and select the button Events. Insert a new event with the following parameters (you can copy/paste the action commands):
Action commands:
IF %op(%vol(%1.phy),=,9) stop ENDIF $VOL L%1.dir %op(%vol(%1.phy),+,1) pause $DTS L%1.dir 'Volume = %vol(%1.phy)'
Volume DOWN
The "Volume DOWN" button activates DAK key 2. Via the Event Handler this button can be programmed to step down the volume every time it is pressed. The volume range is 0 to 9. The display will show the current volume setting.
In Users & Stations window, select the School Intercom from the list box and select the button Events. Insert a new event with the following parameters (you can copy/paste the action commands):
Action commands:
IF %op(%vol(%1.phy),=,0) stop ENDIF $VOL L%1.dir %op(%vol(%1.phy),-,1) pause $DTS L%1.dir 'Volume = %vol(%1.phy)'
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.
