Eclipse V12LD User Manual - 6.2.1 The Dial Code
V-Series Panels| User Guide
Page 75
6.2.1 The Dial code
The fast key assign requires 3 to 5 key presses for a dial code number to use.
The dial code number will be displayed on the reply key as the user is dialing
it. The first port number dial code will be 1 and all entity types will be 1
indexed.
6.2.2 Dial code validation
To terminate a Dial Code number the user must press the * key. At this point
the Dial Code number is verified to see if the user is allowed to assign the
entity to the panel through the sort group rules. If it is an invalid or disallowed
operation then “Invalid” will be displayed on the reply key. If it is valid, then
the label for the entity will be displayed on the reply key and the key labels
which it can be assigned to will flash. The rack will determine if the entity is
assignable by looking in the entity table to see if the “Protect Port from
Assignment” bit has been set and if the talk and listen bits are cleared. Also
the Sort groups will be checked to see if the user panel is allowed to assign the
entity.
Whether the key assigned has its talk or listen bits set will be determined by
the default settings on the port set in ECS. Note if the talk and listen bits are
set, a Talk + Listen key will be configured not a Talk + Forced Listen. On a
lever or rotary V-Series panel the talk will be placed on the talk key and the
listen on the listen key. The rotary encoder panel will also support talk forced
listen. The force listen will be assigned to the encoder key and the talk to the
push button key.
6.2.2.1
Sort groups
If the destination is a member of a valid local sort group, you can scroll the
members of the sort group until you reach the desired destination by using the
up/down buttons or rotary controller on the Reply key. Any member of the
sort group may be selected for assignment.
Note: If the destination port is a member of a sort group that is blocked for the panel
the word BLOCKED is displayed in the reply key. Sort group permissions are
set in ECS / EHX. For more information, see your ECS / EHX documentation.
6.2.2.2
Assigning keys
Select one of the flashing keys by pressing one of the following:
The pushbutton on pushbutton panels.
The key down on lever key panels.
The talk button on rotary panels.
The selected destination port will be assigned to that key. When a key has
been assigned, the talk/listen attributes are defined in ECS / EHX. You can
change the assigned key attributes later from the local panel menu.
