4000 Digital Series II Issue 1.4 Panel User Guide STA0380 Page 1

1 Introduction

The 4000 Series II is a Digital Communications System using a central switching matrix for routing calls between outstations connected in a star format.

The digital central switching matrix uses a microprocessor for control and configuration purposes. A Digital Matrix Card, allowing multiple routes to be made simultaneously achieves all switching and routing. Analogue audio, GPI inputs and outputs, data interfaces and an advanced software package are also provided as part the 4000 system.

A range of Digital Control Panels are available providing a suitable user interface for making and receiving calls over the system. These panels contain push buttons configu red to operate specific routes or activate control functions. The push button actions are sent as digital data using a serial link to the central matrix for interpretation by the microprocessor and information is returned to the control panel by the same method. Panel audio is sent and received digitally, multiplexed with the data via a single coaxial cable. Panel data and 4-wire audio can also be conne cted via standard twisted pair wiring or CAT 5.

The standard control panels provide the basic facilities of Direct Access Keys (DAKs) which allow singlebutton operation for frequent calls, a Reply (Answer Back) key for respo nding to unscheduled calls and where applicable, a dial display for making infrequent calls.

A call is initiated on a control panel by pressing one of the assigned DAKs or, on panels equipped with an electronic dial-pad, by dialling a number and pressing the call button. This activates crosspoints, located in the Matrix, which make the audio route (or routes) to the desired destination(s). Routing can be one-way (e.g. talk only) or two-way (talk and listen simultaneously) and several callers can speak to the same destination at the same time due to the mixing capability of the matrix.

The crosspoints in the matrix are activated or de-activated according to configuration rules held in the system's Matrix map (stored in the microprocessor's memory). The system map for the 4000 Series II residing on a Personal Computer is do wnloaded into the Matrix from the 'Configuration and Master Assignment Programming System integrated' (CMAPSi) and controls every aspect of 4000 Series II operation. The Matrix sends part of the system ma p out to each control pa nel, programm ing th e actio ns available on each DAK of each panel. This includ es any special functi on that may also be assigned to a particular pushbutton in addition to initiating the normal dual routing.

Each DAK may be centrally configured and assigned to a destination, source or both at system set-up. On some panels, DAKs that are not assigned at system set-up can be assigned, by local programming of the pushbuttons in Soft mode, to allow different routing options. Local assignments may not be retained if the system is reset, although they are held in non-volatile memory at the panel and thus will be retained after power down.

Destinations and sources can be other panels, beltpacks, 2-wire or 4-wire circuits, either individually or in groups. The destinations and so ur ce s cou l d a lso b e in a not he r t alk ba ck system. Connection to other 4000 Series II systems can also be achieved by use of Ethernet Trunk, E1 Data or ISDN, providing an integrated private intercom network. Up to fifteen 4000 Series II systems can be connected using this facility.

A Conference facility is also available, configured via CMAPSi, which allows people to converse in a conference mode. This is similar in operation to the Conference Ring (Party Line) facilities available in older conventional systems. Users can be allowed access to any conference ( up to 64 conferences are allowed) either to listen only or to talk and listen.

Consult the Vitec Group Communications Installation Guide for further details on Matrices and networking.

2 Control Panel Overview

The 4000 Series of Control Panels comprise of a range of 1RU and 2RU by 19-inch rack mount units including Desktop panels.

The Control Panels allow the user to communicate with other parties within the system. It is also possible to make calls via the standard telephone or ISDN networks. Some of the panels allow the user to program the function of the buttons while others are basic for the simplest of operations.

There are also Extension Panels that are used to increase the number of buttons per panel or to add level control facilities.

A Custom Panel Interface is also available to remotely connect keys and displays from the main Co ntrol Panel so that custom panels can be made to fit various size and shape constraints.

3 Control Panel Descriptions

Descriptions of the control panels available are given in following section, including obsolete panel types sold under the ‘Drake’ brand. The current panels are now sold under the ‘Clearcom’ brand and where they correspond in functionality to the previous ‘Drake’ panels they have the same number followed by ‘R’. For example, the replacement for the 4215 panel is the 4215R panel.

CMAPSi operation details are given in the CMAPSi on-line Help facility.

Consult the Vitec Group Communications Installation Guide for further details on Control Panels.

3.5.2 Direct Access Key (DAK)

The 4000 Series Panels have Direct Access Key (DAK) pushbuttons. These DAKs are used to make Listen and/or Talk routes to and from the Control Panel or other audio connections. The DAK can also be assigned to trigger a control (logic) action.

The pushbutton operation is selectable from a range of options and set via the Configuration and Master Assignment Programming System (CMAPSi) workstation software. The pushbutton actions include:

The Direct Access Keys can be programmed with a range of attributes as set in the Configuration and Master Assignment Programming System (CMAPSi) workstation software. The pushbutton attributes are:

NOTE: For the above functions, the destination can be a single or group of panels and external sources, conferences or IFBs.

Table 7: PD4224R DAK Operation

Latch When a DAK is pressed and released, it latches in the engaged position.

Pressing the DAK again disengages it.

Non-Latch When a DAK is pressed and held depressed, it automatically disengages

when released.

Latch/Non-Latch A combination of the two above such that a quick press will latch the but-

ton and a slow press will be the non-latch action.

Dual Talk/Listen When a DAK is momentary pressed, it makes a latched Listen Route.

The DAK can then be pressed and held to make a Talk Route at the same time, and released to unmake the Talk Route. A second momentary press disengages the DAK and the latched Listen Route.

Interlock Group A DAK can be assigned to any one of eight interlock groups A - H. Within

an interlock group only one DAK may be active at any one time. If a DAK in a given group is pressed whilst another DAK in the same group is already active the currently active key is deactivated and the key pressed becomes active.

Table 8: PD4224R Pushbutton Attributes

Talk Only A single DAK press causes an audio route to be made from the

source panel to the desired destinations. Normally used for communication from one panel to another.

Listen Only A single DAK press causes an audio route to be made from the desti-

nation. Used when listening to an external audio signal (not originating from a Control Panel) is required.

Talk and Auto Listen A single DAK press causes a bi-directional audio route to be made

between the source panel and the destinations. Often used between panels and external audio signals.

Talk & Forced Listen

This is similar to Talk and Auto Listen except that the Listen route is permanently made. The operator need only push the key to talk.
