Custom View - is used when you require static paging groups as well as 2-way Intercom communication. The Paging Groups are listed first and do not list any information in the Status, Address, or Door/Gate columns. Any Intercoms that have connected to TalkMaster and have not been defined in a Paging group will be listed next. You can also configure an Intercom to appear in the list even if it is defined in a paging group by checking Display in Custom View Tab of the Advanced Configuration Settings of the Intercom Configuration Tool.

Column definitions are the same as previously listed in this topic.

Single click on a Paging Group row to check the Grp column. Rows marked with an X in the Grp column are available for Page, Chime or Play File operations when Talk Mode is set to Group. Paging Groups cannot be selected (highlighted with a blue background) for Talk / Listen operations.
