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.

The emergency button is configured to dial number 234

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.

The emergency button activates alarm message 3 (8193) to group 85, repeated 3 times

In Users & Stations, select the DAK button, and enter the call destination on DAK 7:

Call station 321 when lifting the handset

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.

Send Call Request to station 101 when lifting the handset, delete the Call request when replacing the handset

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.

Default hotline delay is 5.0 sec. Change from 50 to 0 for immediate call

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.
