Figure 5-4: Rotary panel display: latched listen while talking 

5.17.1  Using rotary panel keys 

By default, the talk label is displayed on a key, unless a listen only label is 

configured for the key.  

In assignment panel mode, the talk labels are shown on possible IFB 

destinations and the listen labels are shown when the user is selecting an IFB 

source. 

The rotary control and talk button normally default to latching unless the non-

latching option is configured in ECS / EHX under Global Settings (Latch 

Disable set to True) for the destination port. 

In the default state (latching), pressing the rotary control or talk button 

momentarily latches the key.  

If you hold the rotary control or talk button for more than 200ms, the key does 

not latch and the connection terminates as soon as the key is released. 

When the rotary control is inactive, the center of the control is lit 

dim

green

. 

When the talk button is inactive, the button is lit 

dim red

.  

If the brightness control is turned down further, the dimmed lighting of the 

rotary control and talk button is turned off entirely. 

When you press the rotary control to establish a listen route, the center of the 

control is lit 

bright green

. When you press a talk button to establish a talk 

route, the button is lit 

bright red

. 

To cancel the connection press the rotary control or talk button. 

An incoming call is signaled by a 

flashing red 

Reply key talk button. To pick 

up the call press the reply key talk button. 

5.17.2  Rotary panel Reply key 

The Reply key on a rotary panel can be overwritten with other talk and listen 

labels in ECS / EHX without being deleted. This enables the creation of: 

  12 listen and 12 talk pairs for each 1RU panel. 

  24 listen and 24 talk pairs for each 2RU panel. 

If you enter Menu mode and the reply key has been overwritten / is no longer 

available, the Assignment Panel (AP) functions are disabled. If the labels 

placed on the Reply key are removed in ECS / EHX, the Reply key becomes 

available again and Assignment Panel functions are restored. 

You can use the Reply key rotary control to scroll through the Reply key stack 

if more than one call is present on the answerback stack. To move to the next 

call, turn the rotary control clockwise. To return to the previous call, turn the 

rotary control anticlockwise.
