How to use the demo suitcase

Sound quality

The stations in the stand are located very close to each other, and it is hard to give a good demo of the AlphaCom XE sound quality. If you going to demo the sound quality it is better to place the IP Desktop station on a remote location, and make calls to or from the IP Desktop.

Call Request

• Call buttons on the substations make Call Request to the CRM V. Indication on the LED's on the DAK panel.
• Call Request Forwarding to station 102 is activated by pressing the “Transfer” button on the DAK panel. The transfer status is shown in the LCD display. “Transfer Off” cancels the forwarding.

Door Opening

• Door open: Press digit 6 on the CRM V while in communication with IP substation 104 to operate the LED in the signaling unit.
• Door open/closed status: The switch on the signaling unit is connected to an input of the IP substation. The input can be used to indicate door open or closed status on the DAK panel. Door open is indicated by flashing red LED in the DAK panel.

Anti-nuisance

- On the DAK panel press the “Antinuisance” button + station button (e.g. “Elevator” or “Entrance”) to disable calls from that station for 9 seconds. Red LED indicates disabled state. (In real life the station will be disabled for maybe 15 minutes).

Group call and All Call

• Press “All Call” to make a regular broadcast to all stations. If you demonstrate voice paging (i.e. you are searching for someone), you can answer the paging by pressing 99 on a station (e.g. on the IP desktop).
• Press “All Call (4gong)” to make an All Call with customized “dingdong” signal. The standard ding-dong is substituted by a wav file playing a gong sequence. This is to demo that the standard dingdong signal can be substituted by any signal.
• Press “All Call (coco)” to make an All Call with customized pre-warning signal. The standard ding-dong is substituted by a wav file playing a coco sound.
• Press “Dynamic Grp” to make a dynamic group call. Select members on the DAK panel. Members can be selected and deselected (toggle function). Press “Dynamic Grp” again to dispatch the group call.
