2. Press the Listen button.

To set the help desk into Automatic or Manual mode:

In manual mode, the console operator must click the Talk and Listen buttons to contact or listen to the intercom.

For hands-free operation for both the help desk and the

intercom user, select Automatic. The intercom user presses the intercom’s button once to activate the intercom’s microphone and put the console into Listen mode. The user speaks into the intercom and does not press the button again until she/ he deactivates the microphone. The Listen button activates automatically when the Talk button is de-activated.

NThe console supports room monitoring (listening initiated by the console operator instead of by an intercom user) only if the administrator or user password was entered when the software was opened/started or when the console operator is prompted for the password. Otherwise, an intercom user must push a button on the IPI to activate the intercom’s microphone, allowing the console to listen.

To make the help desk unavailable:
