The Call Tally function means that the pushbutton

In a typical operating example, a user (caller) chooses the station he wishes to talk to by pressing the push- button corresponding to the called station. The

The Remote Control / Programming Capabilities
allow the Model
848A
to be controlled and programmed remotely by connecting either a computer or a "dumb" terminal to the Model DC848 data bus. The software for the 848A and
DC848
lets
each station be programmed individually in real-time. Features programmable with this setup include: a. Forced Crosspoint. Sets up a one way voice
communication path between two stations.

The Model 8488 is an intercommunications master station. Each 848A is a station in a point-to-point intercom system which can have as few as 2 stations or as many as station system. Any configuration of multiple stations in this system is called a matrix. In the matrix, up to

43.1
Microphone Electronics
The Model 848A microphone electronics consist of: a microphone select switch (U102). a microphone preamplifier and limiter (UlOl), and an electronic microphone switch (102).
The microphone select switch (U102) selects input from either the panel microphone or the headset microphone and sends the signal to the microphone preamplifier and limiter (U101). This preamplifierflimiter combination amplifies and conditions the microphone signal to the (4 volts peak-to-peak) signal
The signal then feeds microphone switch 2 (U102). Microphone switch 1
is the on/off switch to the Microphone switch 2 is the on/off switch to the electronics. (For operation see Section 3.2.2.)
The microphone signal also goes to a rear panel auxiliary connector at 5104 (pins 4 and 5) through transformer TlOl for
preamplifier output at a level of -10 dBu nominal.
4.2.2
Talk
Electronics
The Model 848A TALK electronics consist oE a buffer amplifier (UlOl), a line driver amplifier
(U103), and electronic
Electronic microphone switch 1 passes the signal to buffer amplifier UlOl which provides a gain of 2.4 to the line driver. The line driver (U103) balances the signal and provides a low output impedance to the
talk
select bus. This passes to electronic switches U301 to U316 which bus-select switches. The balanced signal then feeds
through 1% resistors to the listen-select matrix board which puts the signal through another pair of 1% resistors before passing the signal to the 50-pin bus connector. Each of the approximately 12k ohms bridging impedance to the balanced

speaker amplifiers (U205), and level adjustments (R508--R5 10).
Through the placement of jumpers, one of the 24
an
buses on the matrix board is chosen as
each unit. (See Section 2.3.2) This listen signal then
passes through transformer T201 (a lOkilohm to
lOkilohm center tap transformer) to provide optimum common mode interference rejection and isolation.
The signal then passes through the matrix listen level
control (R509) located on the adjustment board.
Resistor 509 is a 20 kilohm audio potentiometer. From here the signal is fed to the listen summing
amplifier Other signals are also fed to the listen summing
amplifier: A program signal from rear panel connector amplifier through transformer T202 (a 10 kilohm
10 kilohm center tap transformer); The listen audio of
all
transformer T203 (a 600:600 ohm transformer); The sidetone signal is fed into the summing amplifier only when the loudspeaker is turned off and the headset is used.
The output from the summing amplifier is passed
through the master volume control (R401) located on the front panel. R401 is a lOkilohm audio
potentiometer. The signal is then distributed to the
headphone and loudspeaker amplifiers, U204 and
U205. The output from headphone amplifier (U204) is
designed to drive headphones of 8 ohms or greater impedance.
The signal to the loudspeaker amplifier runs through electronic speaker switch U203 and speaker switch U203. The speaker dim Mic switch is on. The loudspeaker is automatically dimmed to the level preset by the operator at adjustment R504. Resistor R504 is a 20 kilohm

General Information
The DC848 has two major functions:
Function number one is to transmit "tally" or calling
party identification signals (blinking or lamps) from station to station. This is accomplished using
RS485 data party line. Function number two is to allow user control of the
system via a data terminal or computer. User control of the system is: observing the state of the system,
to
adding and removing special features stations, saving and restoring features to the system, resetting the entire system, and some housekeeping functions. This is
accomplished using an RS232
terminal connection.
848A
an
The microprocessor has an internal serial communications interface (SCI) at Port 2 for asynchronous serial communications to the Data
Concentrator
(DC848). Transmit and Receive Data (TxD and RxD) is buffered by U23. U22 is not normally installed. W1 jumper allows U23 to be used in half duplex mode (RS485). The driver (75176) is controlled by the processor (Tx CTL). The signal is +5 volts to transmit, 0 volts to receive.
The 84814 system uses the RS485 half duplex serial communication network, 78.6K baud, 8 bits, bit and 1 stop bit. The CPU

RAM is located at 6000H to 7FFFH. The RAM socket is a Dallas Semiconductor Smart Socket with internal battery backup. During a power failure, the socket retains RAM data. Upon power reset, as part of the software initialization a serial number of 05A5H is tested for in RAM. If the test succeeds, then the data in the RAM has
been retained. If the test fails, the processor reinitializes all RAM locations and sets 05A5H to the
serial number RAM location.
The UMClOO has an on-board watchdog comprised of U7, an astable multivibrator, and Q1. The output of decoder U12 (3400 pin 10 is used re-trigger the watchdog. A time duration is set by R33 and C11, creating a re-triggerable astable
multivibrator with U7. If there is no pulse for this set time duration, U7 toggles, which turns on Q1,
causing a hardware reset to the microprocessor.
Serial communication for the DC848 is accomplished
with the embedded SCI (Serial Communications Interface) in U5. U2

bit 0 (l=transmit, ()=receive). U1 is not normally
installed. Serial Data to the terminal is sent via ACIA
(Asynchronous Communications Interface Adapter) U14, a 63A50 from Hitachi. The transmit and receive clock is derived from E clock through divider U17 for baud rate control. The divider is programmed through the U15 output port.
The ACIA is coupled through opto-isolators U21, U22, U23 and U24. to DC converter is used to generate isolated for U19. This allows total ground isolation from the 848A system ground and any earth ground that could come from a terminal. The most recent models of the DC848 do not have this ground isolation.
The ACIA is serviced in software on an interrupt basis

for both receive and transmit functions.

DC848 Software
The DC848 software is in fact firmware: software that has been compiled to machine code and stored in
EPROM (Erasable Programmable Read Only
Memory). The terminal drivers are interrupt driven.
The DC848 arbitrates the party-line 485 bus that
interconnects all panels and the DC848.
Each panel is polled using its panel address. The DC848 sends (through 485 driver U2) and F7H
(break character) and a panel address (1 to 23). This
is followed by programming or tally information that must go to that panel
An

Station Off-Line
The problem is either in the unit or in the connecting line. Make sure the power connector to the unit is firmly in place and the power supply is plugged into a live outlet. Check the 50-pin ribbon connector line. Disconnect and then reconnect the connector from both the back of the
connectors appear to be sound, exchange the 50-pin ribbon connector line with another line from a different station. If this doesn't solve the problem, go inside of the individual unit and test.
5.8.2
Level Changes
Level changes are a result of improper termination and/or too many units on the bus. Check to see that you have not exceeded the recommended number of stations per bus. And check to see that you have not double terminated the system.
Squealing is caused when the system is not terminated. If there are less than 17 stations in the point-to-point system, one termination is required. The termination plug must be of the proper size. From
