4.2. User keys
On the top panel of the MPAGE16, there are 21 user touch keys:
x
"1" to "16" keys: to select paged zones. These are latching keys, i.e. they activate/
deactivate their zone selection for each successive keystroke. From EclerNet
Manager, zones available for paging (designated zones for each console) are
programmed for each console connected to a MIMO88 unit so that keystrokes on
non-qualified zone keys are ignored by the system
x
"F1" and "F2" keys: configurable keys, useful for launching functions programmed
from EVENTS section of EclerNet Manager software, such as user memory
("preset") recall or GPO output (relay) status change
x
"ALL" key: selects all zones that are enabled for the console (same as individually
clicking on all designated zone keys)
x
CLEAR key: unselect all zones, leaving the console without any selected zone
x
"PAGE" key: pressing and holding it activates the paging to the selected destination
zones as long as the key is held. If a ring chime has been programmed for the
console, it sounds when you press the PAGE key and it is then recommended to wait
until its completion to begin the paging
In order for the user to have a more realistic tactile feeling, keystrokes are accompanied by
a brief mechanical feedback using a vibrator built inside the MPAGE16 unit.
4.3. LED indicators
Bicolor LEDs for zone selection keys 1 to 16. Possible status and signification:
x
Off: free zone (not used by another console, if any)
x
Lit in green: zone selected by the console to send the next message
x
Lit in red: busy zone not selected by the console, but hold by another higher priority
console
x
Lit in orange: busy zone selected by the console, but hold by another higher priority
console
x
Green, momentary flashing: indicates a zone not authorized for selection from the
console (non-existing zone or EclerNet Manager denied its access from the console)
x
Orange, flashing: a paging has been totally or partially stopped by another console,
alerting the user that its message has not been completely released on that particular
destination zone (regardless of whether it was send or not to other zones). Flashing
stops when you press this zone select key, ALL key or ALL CLEAR key
Bicolor LED for PAGE key. Lights up when the PAGE button is hold down to indicate that
the console is in paging mode:
x
Lit in orange: indicates, when you start paging (pressing and holding PAGE key), that
a ring chime is played (if the console is programmed for that by EclerNet Manager
application). It turns green when the chimes ends, thus the speaker knows when he
can start talking without being hidden by the chime (*)
x
Lit in green: paging function activated with voice message sent to selected destination
zones.
x
Lit in red: the console is not operational (not activated from the MIMO88 unit, not
connected to the control bus, "finder" function activated in EclerNet Manager
application, etc.)
x
Red, flashing: MPAGE16 unit error
