Setup Page

Clicking on the “Setup” tab will launch the setup-configuration page as shown below. Dashboard provides a centralized configuration system allowing all Panels to be setup from one convenient location.

Active Selection

The setup menus are identical to the INF-BP-2 with the exception of the following.

Speaker Selection

Select the listen audio to output on either the internal loudspeaker or connected headset.

Mic Kill-Safe

When the boxes are checked, the corresponding microphone is set into Kill-Safe mode for Partyline operation.

3 Channels Plus Reply

The fourth “Talk” button (lower left) of BP-4 can be configured as a “reply to caller” talk button. In this case, when pushing the fourth button, a talk circuit will be established with the last device to be called the BP-4. This feature is selected by ticking the “Has Reply Key” checkbox in the front page configuration (as fig 7.63).

When first configured the BP-4 display shows the label “(No last)” indicating no device has contacted the BP-4 and pushing the talk button will have no effect. When a device has called the BP-4, its label will be displayed in the window on the BP-4, front-page configuration display and the “Remote” web-browser pages.

Remote

Selecting remote from the home screen provides a live GUI display of the front panel operation. Any controls operated from the panel are reflected in this display. Using the mouse pointer, any of the user controls can be operated from the GUI and their status is reflected on the user panel. For example, if the user rotates the “Vol” control on the panel, the volume display will change on the GUI. If a user selects the first “push to talk” button, the button will illuminate red on both the GUI and the panel. Also, the microphone will be live.
