Priority Call Volume Control
Priority Call Volume Control is used to mark a keypanel as a priority caller. When a priority caller talks to another keypanel,
a minimum crosspoint volume (configurable in AZedit) is enforced for the duration of the call to ensure the caller is heard,
even if the target panel has set the listen volume to a lower volume.
In addition, a minimum volume of -6 dB on the speaker and headset of the target panel is also enforced when receiving a call
from a priority caller (also ensuring the caller is heard, even when the target panel’s headset and speaker volume is turned
down. Once the call is completed, the previous speaker, headset, and crosspoint volumes are restored when the priority caller
stops calling.
When a panel is the target of a priority call, the speaker, headset, and volume display are shown with an orange background
indicating a priority call is in progress.
NOTE:The volumes are never lowered by the priority call, but are raised to the minimum values for the duration of the
call if they had lower values to begin with.

Setup Pages
Setup Pages are used to allow access to more key assignments than physical keys on the keypanel. This is useful for sharing a
keypanel because setup pages can be used to swap between the key assignments used for each person. An alternative to Setup
Pages is Panel Swap (see “Key Options Menu, Panel Swap” on page 230). Note, with Panel Swap, your system must be
configured for more keys per panel, whereas with Setup Pages, you do not need to increase the number of keys per panel, but
can simply assign different setup pages to each row of keys.
Up to 15 setup pages per keypanel port can be configured.
By default, eight pages are available.
IMPORTANT:To change the Setup Pages available for ports, in AZedit go to Options | Intercom Configuration |
Options tab. Change the Setup Pages per port field to the number of pages needed. Changing the
number of setup pages will cause the intercom to reboot and restart.
NOTE:To add key assignments to the setup pages, see “Menu System, Key Assign Menu” on page 218.
To open and assign setup pages, do the following:
1.Press the PAGE key.
The Page menu appears in the display screen.
2.Enter a digit (page number).
OR
Press SEL to enter graphical mode.
NOTE: By pressing SEL, you no longer have to complete Step 3.
3.Tap a key to assign that page to the key row.
To toggle between setup pages, do the following:
IMPORTANT:You must be in graphical page mode to be able to toggle between pages.
1.Using the left and right arrows, change the page on the current key row.
2.Press the SEL key (or wait 2 seconds for auto-select to engage).
To change the highlighted key row in the graphical mode, do the following:
>Using the FWD/BACK or UP/DOWN keys, change the highlighted key row.
OR
Press the SHIFT + LEFT buttons or the SHIFT + RIGHT buttons to change the highlighted key row.

Menu Passwords
The keypanel is capable of locking the entire menu structure or only the service menu. This is implemented through AZedit
(System | Miscellaneous | Keypanel Menu Password). For more information, see the AZedit user manual (p/n F01U239453).
NOTE:Only numerical passwords are permitted.
To enter a menu password at the password prompt, do the following:
1.Press the MENU button.
PASSWORD: appears in the keypanel display screen.
2.Using the keypad, enter the password for the menu.
3.Press the SEL key.
When the password is entered correctly, the menu appears.
NOTE:
• Use the CLR button, double-tap the AUX shaft encoder, or single-tap the MAIN shaft encoder to erase
the last digit.
• If there are no digits, press the CLR button or double-tap either the AUX shaft encoder or MAIN shaft
encoder to exit the menu.
Voice Messaging (Audio Package Only)
IMPORTANT: If you are upgrading the keypanel from version 1.1.1 or earlier to version 1.2.0 or later, you must do the
following:
• Download the Firmware
• Download the License, if purchased
• Download the Voice Mail Chimes (downloaded with vm-chimes.mot)
• Download the Voice Mail Icons (downloaded vm-icons.mot)
For more information on downloading firmware, see “Download Firmware to the Keypanel From AZedit”
on page 161.
Note, the VM chimes and VM icons are .mot files and should be treated as firmware downloads, not Chimes
or Icons.
Panels shipped from the factory with v1.2.0 or higher, include VM Chimes and VM icons.
VM (Voice Messaging) allows a caller to leave an audio message at a keypanel where the keypanel user has stepped away
from the keypanel or is currently busy and cannot answer a call.
There are two modes of voice messaging; AFK and Auto-Record.
AFK (Away From Keypanel) mode indicates the keypanel user is not available or is away from the keypanel. AFK enables
callers to leave a message for the user to listen to upon return to their keypanel.
Auto-Record mode indicates the last 30 seconds of audio is always being recorded. When Auto-Record is active it does not
matter if AFK is enabled or not, the keypanel constantly records the last 30 seconds of audio. On the keypanel in which AutoRecord is enabled, the record icon appears in the keypanel display window (see “Voice Messaging Icons” on page 69). Unlike
AFK, where the recording icon is flashing while a message is being recorded, the recording icon is constant.
KP SeriesBasic Operation 69
To configure how voice messaging is to work, see “Audio Options Menu, VM Options (Audio Package Only)” on page 212.
Up to seven voice messages can be recorded, with each voice messages being up to 30 seconds long.

Enhanced Tally Icons
Enhanced Tally Icons, shown in Table 7, are used to visually alert keypanel users of different events occurring on the
keypanel and in the Matrix system. The keypanel ships withe these icons built-in by default. However, you can download new
icons to the panel using AZedit.
NOTE:These icons are the default icons sent with the keypanel. These icons can be used for any purpose. Not all the
icons are used as defaults.The descriptions in Table 7 are just suggested uses.

Panel Tally
Panel Tally is used to notify a keypanel user of an event not specifically belonging to a key; for example, a blinking icon
appears when a newscast is on air. Panel tallies are controlled through the use of UPL statements. Multiple UPL statements can
be configured, but only one icon displays at a time. Lower numbered icons take priority.
NOTE:The keypanel ships with these icons built-in by default. However, you can download new icons to the panel using
AZedit.
Available panel tally icons are:

Create and Download New Icons
IMPORTANT:AZedit 5.2.0 and later include the panel and key icon files.
Key Overlay Icons
An Overlay Icon is an icon that lies on top of a key in the keypanel display screen of the keypanel. There are 32 icons shipped
with the keypanel and supported. However, you can create your own icons.
A single icon is 16 x 16 pixels. AZedit uses bitmaps rather than icon (.ico) files. This is so users can use the system tool Paint
to create their icons, instead of a specialized icon editor. 32 icons are supported for key overlays, so the bitmap must be 512
pixels wide (16 pixels x 32 icons). Animation of icons is also supported (4 frames), so the bitmap is 64 pixels tall (16 pixel
icons x 4 rows of icons), where each column of icons contains four images for animation of the icon, and each row of icons
represent stage 1–4 of the animation for each icon.Figure 30, shows a 512x64 pixel bitmap (a table of 32x4 icons).
IMPORTANT:The following icons are built into the panel. The file is shipped with AZedit so it can be easily copied
and modified by the user to create their own icons.
By downloading you own icons, you are replacing the ones built into the keypanel. Retain a copy of the
icons shipped with AZedit, in case you want to reuse the default icons.
FIGURE 30. 512 x 64 pixel bitmap of key overlay icons
AZedit accepts a bitmap of narrower width (as long as it is a multiple of 16). This is done by extending the bitmap to 512
pixels by adding white space horizontally. Vertically, the bitmap needs to be 16 pixels high, and then repeat the image 3 more
times to make it 64 pixels high. Repeating the icon four times, indicates there is no animation. You can also create a bitmap 32
pixels high (two frames per icon) and repeat the image once to make 64 pixels high (so there would be two frames of
animation repeated).
The pixel color in the top left corner of each 16x16 pixel cell is treated as a transparent color. All pixels of the same color in
each 16x16 pixel cell will not be rendered when the icon is drawn on the keypanel. For example, in Figure 30, magenta is us
used as the transparent color in all icon cells. If magenta was not treated as transparent, all of the icons above would display as
an icon in a magenta square.
KP SeriesBasic Operation 95
Panel Icons
For Panel Icons, the icons are 32x32 pixels. 16 panel icons are supported, as well as 4-frame animation, so the bitmap must be
512x128, producing a table of 16x4 icons (each icon 32x32 pixels), see Figure 31. Like key icons, AZedit accepts a narrower
image (as long as it is a multiple of 32) and uses white space to fill in the missing pixels. Shorter images are supported (as long
as the image is either 32 or 64 pixels tall) and are replicated (3 times, or once) to get an image measuring 128 pixels tall.
IMPORTANT:The following icons are built into the panel. The file is shipped with AZedit so it can be easily copied
and modified by the user to create their own icons.
By downloading you own icons, you are replacing the ones built into the keypanel. Retain a copy of the
icons shipped with AZedit, in case you want to reuse the default icons

96 Basic OperationKP Series
Keypanel Mirroring (Control Package Only)
Keypanel Mirroring allows a licensed keypanel (licensed as a supervisor) to take control of a target keypanel. All KP-Series
keypanels can be the target of mirroring, whereas only licensed keypanels can be the supervisor of a target keypanel. By
default, Keypanel Mirroring is disabled. You must enable a panel to be a mirror supervisor in AZedit. This allows any licensed
keypanel to initiate a mirroring operation on a local target.
IMPORTANT:Mirroring is not supported between trunked intercoms.
Keypanel Mirroring operates in real-time, meaning when a supervisor keypanel initiates a mirroring operation almost all
aspects of the target keypanel functionality are accessible. Once the configuration file is transferred from the target to the
supervisor keypanel, the supervisor keypanel looks and behaves like the target. Turning keys on/off, adjusting key volumes or
panel volumes on either the target or supervisor keypanel is seen immediately on the other keypanel.
NOTE:If a KP-5032 mirrors a KP-4016 or a DKP-4016, it does not take on the 1RU or desktop aspects.
On the target keypanel, the keypad is locked out, preventing the target keypanel from entering the menu. Any changes to the
configuration made by the supervisor keypanel are immediately transferred to the target keypanel.
IMPORTANT:The Supervisor keypanel can change settings for features the Target is licensed for, even if the
Supervisor is not licensed for those same features. Compression ratios, additional noise gate settings,
and the 5-band equalizer settings are all available in the Supervisor (even if it is not licensed for these
features) as long as the Target panel is licensed for them. For example, if the target keypanel supports a
5-band EQ and the supervisor keypanel does not, the supervisor keypanel is able to change the EQ
settings.
In AZedit, if a keypanel is a mirror Supervisor or Target, an icon is shown in the Port Status area in the Keypanel View.
Supervisor iconThe Supervisor icon signifies the keypanel is mirroring another keypanel and can
make changes to the other keypanel, known as a Target. For more information, see
“Service Menu, Mirror (Control Package Only)” on page 248.
Target iconThe Target icon signifies the keypanel is being mirrored by another keypanel, known
as a Supervisor. This keypanel is being remotely controlled by the Supervisor. For
more information, see “Service Menu, Mirror (Control Package Only)” on page 248.
****These icons also appear on the keypanels involved in the mirror operation.
IMPORTANT:If you make changes, including real time changes, to a Target Keypanel using AZedit, those changes are
also seen on the Supervisor Keypanel. However, if you make changes, including real-time changes, to a
Supervisor Keypanel using AZedit, those changes are made to the Supervisor’s saved configuration, but
are not implemented until the Supervisor Keypanel exits Mirroring and returns to normal operation.

Real-Time Control allows you to make real-time (immediately applied) changes to intercom and keypanel volume controls as
well as muting keypanel microphones, switching headset focus, setting AFK, and enabling tone at selected keypanel ports.
Intercom Volume Controls
Intercom Volume Controls are used to adjust Crosspoint Listen, Party Line Listen, Port Input Gain, and Port Output Gain.
Adjustments to these different volumes can be done in real-time or modified and sent to the intercom at a later time.
There are two ways to adjust the intercom volume controls;
• via the Port Volumes window
